Movie Reviews of Hey Arnold - The Movie
Movie Review: Man, that deep voice is a pain in the...!
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie wasn't bad. It was a typical Hey, Arnold! affair:
-Arnold uses his usual level-headed point of view
-Helga teases Arnold about how "pathetic" he is (but we all know how that *really* goes)!
-Gerald assists Arnold in almost whatever he does, but doesn't stand by as an empty tool
But the movie has a premise: Arnold and his friends have to protect the city from losing a big part of itself because ATi, a new and big corporation wants to come in and tear it down; the flower shop, the meat shop, etc, etc.
It has all that you have come to expect, with a small twist at the end. One of my favorite characters (besides Arnold, of course) was the quirky mortician towards the end, he was creepy but in a very nice way.
Do Arnold and friends save the day? Well, I'm sure most of you saw this back in 2002 or have seen it since, but if not, then rent it from somewhere and watch it. Worth a look.
3 1/2 stars.
Movie Review: It was OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted to see the movie really bad, but when I saw it, it wasn't even that great. I thought there would be a little more REAL music. Like the Lil' Romeo song "Game time" was only used in the credits. whats up? If you ask me, this was very dissapointing for me, and this was by far the worst nick movie. I expected a lot better. and also, Helgaand Arnold shoulda became friends.Movie Review: It's Okay.
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was alright. It could have been a lot better without the constant use of the word "Neighborhood." Hearing that word over and over again is just irritating.Movie Review: A half-hearted effort by Nick.
Summary: 2 Stars
Being a 90's child, I was always watching Nickelodeon every day after school. And 'Hey Arnold!' was probably my favorite show back then. It was clever, emotional and didn't rely too heavily on the gross-out humor like so many childrens shows do. This film, however, never really emphasized the qualities that made the show so memorable.
Apparently, 'Hey Arnold: The Movie' wasn't intended to be released in theaters at all. Originally titled 'Arnold Saves the Neighborhood', it was going to be a "made-for-TV" movie. Nick originally had planned to make 'Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie' as the theatrical release, but converted 'Arnold Saves the Neighborhood' into this film when production of the other film was slow.
Anyway, this movies plot is about a greedy corporation called 'FTI', who want to tear down Arnolds Neighborhood so they can build a futuristic mall. Meanwhile, Arnold and Gerald are busy looking for a document which will prove their homes are historical landmarks and prevent the bad guys from taking over.
The story is painfully bland. And despite a couple of good gags ("Block Power" made me laugh), this movie just isn't worth your time. Even if you're a nostalgic 90's person like me. Also, this movie flopped big-time when it was released and was the cause of this TV series getting taken off the air only 2 years later. 'The Jungle Movie' was also taken out of production, which was a shame.
It's pretty ironic that this movies plot demonized greed and avarice, yet it was those very qualities which gave this movie a hasty release, resulting in the shows demise. I give 'Hey Arnold: The Movie' a three out of ten rating.
Movie Review: BYE ARNOLD!
Summary: 1 Stars
WOW! What a terrible movie! Honestly, I am not sure why my husband bought it for our 2 year old, but that's another story... Anyway, the movie is plain boring. Why on earth any child would want to watch a movie about corporation/old neighborhood that would (and should) be destroyed/grandparents that should be locked behind the bars of a mental hospital. Thankfully, I've fallen asleep and snored through the second part of the movie, because I cannot imagine being tortured by this cartoon for another 30 minutes or so. Save your money, people!
