a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Thankfully I watched the 2017 series before watching this because the 2017 series was a huge letdown. Anyway, this show is simply brilliant. There are just a handful of episodes because I think it didn't get enough viewership back in the days but if it came out today, it would kill. This is literally ahead of it's time. A hilarious take on the superhero mythos. The chemistry of the group is great. The stories are entertaining. Sadly, like I said before, there are only 6 or 7 episodes. They cut it too short. I'm guess it was a Fox television series. Anyway check it out and enjoy!

...and glad I did.A fast paced and amusing thrill ride that just doesn't get old. Smartly written superhero spoof from the turn of the century. Acting with just the right combo of seriousness and camp. Well casted.Looking forward to Amazon's take in 2017, hope they can manage the right balance.Well worth the time to watch the series(and you can marathon it in an afternoon).

Fox is such a lame-ass network these days. Always canning shows because they aren't instant hits but never thinking that they should give them a decent time slot to begin with.The Tick is a classic piece of comedy that really should have been given at least two seasons to develop. Instead we got, what, 9 episodes or something. Just as you were beginning to really like the characters the series is over.Most of the humour comes from The Tick's complete lack of understanding of anything resembling normal human values or maturity. All he knows is that he must fight evil (and utter priceless lines of dialogue in the process).Batmanuel (originally Deflator Mouse in the cartoon) started off a little weakly, but quickly grew to match the Tick in humour value.It's a crime worthy of the Tick himself sorting out that this show did not last longer. Another season and we could have got a lot of the superheroes from the cartoons involved, and perhaps some really awful cheese-laden SFX to add to the mix. But it was not to be.Watch what there is and mourn the missed oppportunity.

I wasn't familiar with the comics in the least... but I was an avid fan of the Saturday morning cartoon series, that I'm still waiting to be put out on DVD... I did enjoy this series, though, more than most other shows on nowadays... I think it could have been better, though, if it was an hour long show. Thirty minutes never seemed to be enough to spin the yarn they were going for. A lot of the episodes seemed rushed.I also hate they couldn't have American Maid on this series, but I do think I preferred Bat Manuell to Die Fladermous. I did wish it had more heroes. One thing I liked about the cartoon, in the first episode, there were hordes of heroes trying to stop the idea men. The Human Bullet (Fire me Boy!), Sewer Urchin, Big Shot...Well, they're truly two completely different series. Apples and Oranges. I will say the homophobic undertones are amusing. I recommend giving this series a chance... Fox sure didn't.
