Movie Reviews of Samurai Jack - Season 3
Movie Review: Samurai Jack
Summary: 5 Stars
If you liked watching Samurai Jack and have been completely unable to find any of the DVD Box Sets anywhere, here they are. The third season is by far the best one. In this particular set you get the award winning "Birth of Evil" which makes the rest of the series look like a badly drawn funny. You also get to watch "Jack versus the Minions of Set" which also surpasses much of the first two seasons. The episode "Jack and the Travelling Animals" which gets as closer than anything in the series to being conclusive. If you like Samurai Jack, buy it. If you like art by Gendy Tartakovsky, buy it. If you like American Idol and think Paula Abdul is a great judge of musical talent, leave we don't want you here. To the remainder of cartoon likers, give Samurai Jack Season 3 a shot.
Summary of Samurai Jack - Season 3
From Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Star Wars: Clone Wars, comes the tale of a young samurai cast far into the future by the evil shape-shifting wizard Aku. Join Samurai Jack on his quest to return to the past and undo the destruction that Aku has wrought upon the land. With award-winning artwork and action-packed plots, the journeys of Samurai Jack are a must for any fan's collection.DVD Features:
Audio Commentary:A special "Birth of Evil" Episode Commentary.
Other:The Martial Arts of Samurai Jack, Lost Artwork,
Series creator Genndy Tartakovsky has said, "The third season is always the toughest in television production," but episodes 27 through 39 of Samurai Jack show no signs of flagging imagination. To the contrary, the Season 3 collection includes some of Jack's best adventures. In the outrageous episode 28, Aku turns teenagers into destructive zombies with rock music. Incongruously clad in hip-hop threads, Jack crashes a rave and defeats the sinister DJ in a wonderfully anachronistic mixture of break-dancing and martial arts kata. Tartakovsky and his artists won a well-deserved Emmy for the two-part "Birth of Evil," that traces the origins of Aku to a primordial, destructive cloud that Odin, Rama, and Ra destroyed. The same gods forged Jack's enchanted sword from human righteousness. The more dramatic stories are balanced against sillier tales: in episode 27, Jack gets turned into a chicken by an irritable wizard, and in episode 33, he has to deal with giant blue teddy bear-like creature, who has an unexpectedly nasty side.
The extras include storyboard artist/martial artist Brian Andrews explaining how the crew stylized Chinese Whu Shu and Wing Chun techniques for Jack's combat moves, a gallery of preliminary sketches, and a commentary on "Birth of Evil." It all adds up to a winning package. (Unrated, suitable for ages 10 and older: stylized violence, minor gross humor, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
