The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart

If there is one drawback, it's that it's now all over and we didn't get an entire season, just a little less than an hour and a half. However, as is the style of Venture Bros, rather than look backward and attempt to tie up every loose end in a bout of fan service, this movie takes the show in yet another direction. Rather than parade all your favorite characters back around for little more than a callback, they introduce a few interesting, key characters that drive the whole story. It's funny and rendered flawlessly -- the show has looked better and better season after season, and it culminates in beauty that is this movie's animation. The short scene with Dr. Mrs. The Monarch escaping over the Hudson on Daisy, Red Death's Mecha-Horse, is evidence enough that the creators and artists involved have mastered their form and the we are witnessing a star burning out with the end of this show. It's engrossing and avoids sentimentality in favor for the goofy, droll humor we all know and love about Venture Bros. Yet, without trying, it is sentimental, it is a sad farewell, and this may have the only post-credit scene that makes you somberly smile more than it makes you laugh. A great 20 years and a fantastic conclusion.

I truly appreciate the love and dedication the whole team has put into this show over the years. The quality of animation, writing, story and character development got better with each season - and this finale was a decent way to say goodbye.

The quality of animation was top notch for this series, and the story was entertaining with only a few boring spots while transitioning through multiple plot lines. In other areas the plot felt rushed, but it's kinda expected since they didn't have a season or half-season to really expand it.

Overall its an enjoyable watch with a few lol moments, chuckle-worthy one liners, and a dash of Easter eggs and old school pop culture references.

9/10! I laughed through this movie. Great jokes, callbacks, and references. My only complaint was that it ended. Not all loose ends were tied up, thankfully. Gave it a 9 only because it was far too short for the grand spectacle that is the Venture Bros. Doc and Jackson made a solid piece of cinematic history! They have always held the delicate balance of topical references, intelligent humor and not so intelligent humor, and a true love for that which is their child. This did not feel like a good bye, but only the end of a chapter. They've left even more riddles to unravel. For as many 20 year old questions they answered, there are still 20 more years worth to answer! The blood of the baboon heart was truly radiant!

This was bitter sweet, but such an amazing movie! Doc and Jackson never fail to entertain! It ends where it all began. They answered some big questions but left enough room for future projects. I laughed so hard many times throughout the movie. The Monarch and Gary together always get themselves into situations that never turn out quite like they expected. Their antics are hilarious. We also get to see more of the Triad. It's a shame they couldn't have done a whole season, but they managed to make an awesome movie. If you're reading this and haven't bought the movie, buy it now or eat the pennies, Quizboy! 😉

Team Venture since 2015!!! Absolute masterpiece! Finally a closure to the greatest show to ever exist taking in the fact that it is older than most would believe it to be. The references the characters and dialogue are all superb and i'm glad to have been a part of this adVenture for all of these years since its airing for the first time on A:S. The movie itself is good and im satisfied with it continuing upon the linear story that it is, looking forward to the theoretical revival of the show or the universe in general maybe a new show in this universe? Anyways Go Team Venture yall!!!!!!!!!!!!
