Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

freddiecolton This film brought them to their roots as the Kick Ass Girls. I loved the gritty feel and the fact that this film was definitely made for older fans. Craig McCracken really did it right.

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) I loved the Powerpuff Girls. It was by far Cartoon Network's classic shows next to Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo, and more and has gained some popularity due to it's merchandising with toys, furnitures, and more. So, when Warner Brothers decided to make a cinematic adaptation of the classic show, lots of people became hyped as h*** (the same way they did when "The Rugrats Movie" was made and became such a success it spawned two sequels) and saw this movie with lots of anticipation.However, compared to the Rugrats movies, this movie performed very poorly at the box office despite making 16 million out of its 11 million budget that plans for making the Samurai Jack movie got canceled. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that it's not recommended because I thought that this was a great movie and very underrated in my opinion.The animation sticks to the same style from the show and it works perfectly while adding some great CGI effects to it. The story also sticks to the origins of the Powerpuff Girls and is much darker and more complex than what you most find in most animated movies. The characters are charming and the Dialogue is hilarious it adds some wit to the story. The only two problems is that it's just too short and only two scenes were a bit contrived. It also has some kick-a** action and a finale that is so entertaining it would leave you breathless.Overall, The Powerpuff Girls Movie isn't a masterpiece, but it's still an entertaining cinematic adaptation of a great show!

supernova1915 Basically the movie tells the origin story of the powerpuff girls and how they came to be. A lonely sceientist decides to create the perfect little girl by using the ingredients, Sugar, Spice, and everything nice but the Prof's. lab assistant, Jojo pushes the Prof. causing to spill the vial of the mysterious and powerful chemical X into the formula creating those supercute and superpowerful Powerpuff Girls! Because of this, the girls have superpowers that are beyond anyone's understanding. and because of this understanding, they are shunned by the citizens of townsville after an innocent but destructive game of tag. Then utilized by the evil monkey Jojo (soon to be Mojo Jojo) to complete his evil plan of a perfect utopia.What can I say about this? the CGI animation was BRILLIANT! Literally!(like an LSD trip!) but the storyline was also brilliant. It is the perfect mixture of angnst and innocence. I loved it, my sister loved it, Even My mom took a liking for it! I'm pretty sure that anyone (exet sourpusses) will love it. If you can take the multi-colored flashing. the girls were just cute in this movie and Mojo was really dememted, more so than on the small screen. If you liked the show than you'll love the movie. Especially if you're an anime fan because this movie has a heavy essence of anime material. and adults won't get bored either. this is a must see for anyone.

dbborroughs Thoughts from after I saw this in the theaters after its original release: In all the talk about why the Powerpuff Girls Movie failed, they have mentioned almost every excuse from too many animated films to the fact most theatres were not showing it past dinner time, to over saturation of the market, to the "fact TV spin offs usually don't work while the show is still on TV.What I find curious is that with all the talk no one at any point mentioned the fact is that the movie isn't all that wonderful. Don't get me wrong its not bad, its just not all that great.I went to see this when the movie was on the verge of disappearing from theaters going to the only one in literally 25 miles that was showing the movie. It was packed with kids and their parents, mostly kids under 7, which isn't a bad thing especially when you have a three or four year old repeating every line of Buttercup's, and the whole thing takes on a surreal Rocky Horror sort of feel.The movie is essentially the story of how the girls and Mojo Jo Jo were created. In the early going things weren't bad. It was like a good TV episode on the big screen. However once the second act hits- where the girls are shunned after a game of tag goes horribly wrong - the whole thing grinds to a halt. Yes, it has it moments but it tends to just go on and on. Then the movie shifts gears again once the third act hits and Mojo is revealed to be the villain and all of the other monkeys attempt to take over the world. Everything is rapid fire and I know I missed several of the references and jokes that litter the screen. (I didn't catch the words spelled out in the girls color trails until they were fading from the screen.) Where act two was too slow act three is too fast and I couldn't help the feeling that this was taking the term throw away gag to a new level, so much was happening that it was all lost.Its not bad mind you its just that its an extended TV episode with no real reason to be on the big screen. Hell I bet you there isn't a sharp eyed viewer who won't be able to pick out every place a commercial will appear when Cartoon runs it next spring or summer.Yes I laughed. No, I don't hate it. But in a year where animated cartoons are coming into their own, with Ice Age, Lilo, Metropolis, Escaflowne, Spirit, Jimmy Neutron and Monsters Inc, in less than 12 months (plus Cowboy Bebop , Spirited Away and Treasure Planet before years end) I really can't see the point of putting out a movie thats just the TV show only bigger. (Is it any wonder Hey Arnold also tanked?) Frankly I'm glad is bombing at the box office since I can not see any reason that this movie exists other than to cash in on the Powerpuff Girls bandwagon. This was a movie that was released for the sake of greed (and to have Baboon Butt Bombs) and no other reason. This was not a story that needed to be told on the big screen since they do nothing with it. Frankly other than a louder ("mommy my ears hurt") soundtrack and "funky" hip movie like freeze frames and shots there is nothing that says to me there was any thought put into how make it a movie, it was simply was and is more of the same.Even the 5.75 bargain matinée was too much to ask.I look forward to seeing the DVD. I want to hear the commentary and go back and see what I missed- I want to know the in jokes which I sense are there. But beyond that...Who knows.
