Movie Reviews of Robot Chicken, Season 1
Movie Review: Ronny Clay, this is why 19 out of 20 people thought your review tanked
Summary: 5 Stars
"If it wasn't for Celebrity Deathmatch back in the late 90's and early millunnium "Robot Chicken" wouldn't be hear."
'Robot Chicken' wouldn't be HERE. Hear is what your ears do. HERE is where you are.
'It has lots of famous celebrities and old cartoons on a one adult claymation show.'
'On a one adult claymation show.'- okay, not to belabor the point, but you don't need 'a' and 'one' at the same time. Further, it isn't claymation. Robot Chicken is something called stop-motion animation. Claymation, like the name suggests, is a KIND of stop-motion animation made from CLAY, whereas Stop-Motion doesn't necessarily require that the figures being animated are made of any soft malleable substance. Truthfully, most of the first volume of RC is made from authentic 80's and 90's action figures. I'll tell you why this is important in a minute.
'The show is realy about a mad scientice found a dead chicken on the road he pick him up and turn it into a robot and made it experience television thats why we see different shows on this show.'
Okay right here is what we call a RUN-ON sentence. That means there's too many words and they don't all agree. For starters, 'realy' is spelled with two L's, and 'scientice' isn't a word. I think you mean 'scientist' as in, someone who specializes in science. The same way THEOLOGISTS specialize in religion, ARTISTS specialize in... well, art. Also, the scientIST needs to be followed by 'who'. The scientest WHO found a dead chicken... I suppose 'that' would also be acceptable too in this day and age: The scientist THAT found a dead chicken... six of one.
The sentence structure of 'he pick him up' doesn't agree either. HE either PICKS him up or PICKED him up. Without that S or ED you're taking that verb and giving it a different conjugation. Here's an example: Why don't you PICK a tense and stick with it?
Also, for the record, the show isn't ABOUT a mad scientist who picks up a dead chicken on the road, transforms him into a cyborg and forces him to watch tv 24/7. That's the show's CONCEIT, but that's not what it's ABOUT. These are two different things. Which is to say, The West Wing, being a show that takes place in the West Wing of the White House and highlights those who occupy it IS a show ABOUT the West Wing. A better example is yours: Celebrity Deathmatch is a series ABOUT celebrities fighting to the death. But Robot Chicken is ABOUT nothing. It's a series of vignettes that take fictional, nostalgic characters from the X and Y generations (in most cases, the above mentioned authentic action figures- hence the nostalgia) and puts them in contemporary circumstances as a way of providing commentary through satire. It's actually a lot more enjoyable if you look at it from that perspective.
See, your review's main conceit is that the Robot Chicken's appeal comes from it's animation style. That it borrows from another show whose appeal was also of a similar style. What I'm saying is that Celebrity Deathmatch was enjoyable not becuase people like to see clay, but because people like to see famous people KILL each other in very graphic and disgusting ways. (part of the joys of not being famous)
Robot Chicken's appeal is that it takes toys and dolls from the age when its core audience was adolescent, and "plays" with them in a contemporary 'all grown up' way. Highlighting the OBVIOUS homo-erotic undertones of He-Man, the megalomania of GI JOE vs. Cobra and the mundane (that means 'everyday') human qualities of giant robots called Autobots and Decepticons is why people like this show, not because they're made of clay. Which, again, they mostly aren't.
Of course this show isn't for everybody. If it was, it wouldn't be on Adult Swim, it'd be on prime time on a major network. It'd be on after Desperate Housewives or something. It's primarily for people [okay, men] who were in their tweens in the 80's and 90's who grew up in the United States and are now in the workforce or soon headed there.
So anyways, short story long, your review tanked because you don't have any credibility. You don't have any credibility because you didn't even bother to proofread your work. And I'm not usually this anal, but you were such an easy target, I couldn't resist.
