Movie Reviews of Samurai Jack - Season 2
Movie Review: Action, adventure, honor.
Summary: 5 Stars
The second season is where Samurai Jack and the series really becomes great. This is where Jack learns to jump, falls down a hole into Wonderland, fights for the honor of his sandals, flees the best hunters in the galaxy, robot assassins, and Demongo, a collector of souls. He fights in the Dome of DOOM, helps 300 Spartans defeat an army of evil robots and a mountain helps him defeat his own inner demons. He has to deal with a gargoyle, help the Scotsman save his own wife and has to deal with the feelings that the ruins of his old home bring about. Lone Wolf and Club even make an appearance!
Each and every episode is a hit. Add the extras which include one commentary, a pitch (where an artist tries to sell an idea to the others) and the scrapbook which is a small short about where Genndy Tartakovsky came from, where he got his ideas and even about his family.
Movie Review: Samurai wha? Who knew it'd be this awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, this is the volume that tens of thousands of die-hard fans have been waiting for, and judging from the excellent quality of the first set this one is a no-brainer for any aficionado of animation; asian or north american.
Continuing his quest to return to his home in the past and vanquish the evil that exile him, Samurai Jack treks the world over, encountering the strange and powerful alike.
Held together with an unlikely combination of highly stylized directing and geometric visuals, Samurai Jack offers a brand of animation literally not found in any other series. While the analogies have been made before, they bear repating: if you like old spaghetti westerns, bizarre sci-fi, episodic storytelling or just plain frenetic action this is certainly the series for you.
Movie Review: Samurai Jack Season 2: More Comical.
Summary: 5 Stars
The first season of Samurai Jack was amazing, It had it's action episodes and it's more funny ones. But this season seems to just be more on the comical side, don't get me wrong, it still has its complete action episodes, like "Jack and The Hunters" and "Jack and the Smack Back" But theirs a lot more of "comical" episodes, like "Jack and The Farting Dragon," "Jack Is Naked," and "Jack's Sandals" but this season is probably the weakest one for Samurai Jack. It's still a great season, just the weaker one out of all the SJ seasons. But if you're a big fan of SJ you'll love it regardless.
My favorite episodes:
Jack Remembers The Past, Jack and The Hunters, Jack And The Spartans, and Jack's Sandals (It's pretty funny.)
5/5 stars.
Movie Review: The second season, well worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
IMHO, the drama that sells the whole DVD is the episode where Aku creates horrific assasin robots in an attempt to defeat Jack. The robots indiscriminately massacre the innocent and helpless to leave a trail of butchery that will lead jack to them. Due to it being on Cartoon Network, the worst gore scenes, like a city of impaled beings, were robots, but it still has the effect.
The tribute to the soon to be made into a movie "300" by Frank Miller is a close second. And there's humor, the "Jump Good" episode, the re-uniting with the Scotsman, and Jack's search for replacement footwear.
Movie Review: Better than the first...
Summary: 5 Stars
What can you say about Samurai Jack that hasn't already been said. It is an amazing cartoon. The stories are well written, the action is none stop, and the over all quality is much better than most of the garbage on T.V. now calling itself cartoons. I have the first season as well and after watching that, I couldn't wait to get the second. I was right, it was well worth the wait. So, if you're tired of watching that Pokeman crap, check out a real cartoon that is definitely worth your time. My Man: Samurai Jack (cue music...Back to the past, send Samurai Jack...)
