Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

This movie was a first time watch for me and while I found it to be good, it was also very disappointing especially given that Kevin Smith wrote it.

Positives for Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! (2013): The animation here looks silly, but it matches the tone and approach of the movie. There is some investment with seeing Jay and Silent Bob playing superheroes and fighting supervillains. And finally, the comedy in this movie is pretty good for the most part.

Negatives for Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! (2013): This movie feels like it was directed by someone who didn't care or understand these characters and that's because the movie wasn't directed by Kevin Smith. All of the humor feels like the most generic body humor that would coming from a 13-year old edge lord which is odd given that Kevin Smith wrote the screenplay. It honestly feels like the director took Smith's screenplay and chose to go a different direction with the material.

Overall, while I had some fun with this animated movie, I also can't get over the fact that this movie was a big disappointment for me. I didn't hate the movie, but I was expecting some much more from it.

I honestly rate "Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back" as one of the funniest movies. But this... man I dunno what's up. It's just not funny. None of the plot, gags, situations or lines are funny, Nothing is original. I believe it takes genius to make stupid things funny. It's really lacking here. But enough on the content. What about the animation? Well it's awful. Badly drawn, no style. Not in a funny way like South Park. Badly animated, but not in an aesthetic way like TV-anime where frames are dropped and motion is reduced to the bare minimum using ingenious methods. No, it's just really poor. I like Kevin Smith's movies up to around Clerks 2 then it all went to crap. I actually think Jay and Silent Bob hold their own as characters, while Blunt Man and Chronic is just an empty void of infantile ideas with no backbone.

I mean, it's alright. I got a few chuckles out of it. The story itself was good, the cast was great. The art style was weird it looked like something out of Mad Magazine or the Mad TV show from Cartoon Network. The movie was EXTREMELY graphic, and I don't just mean for violence, I mean the other thing too. I guess they figured they could get away with more since they were animated instead of live action, but it was just kinda gross. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. This was definitely the weakest thing to come out of the View Askewniverse.

Disappointingly stupid. I expected BAD but this was worse than that. Full of forced jokes as well as cheap animation

I've been hoping for an animated movie from Kevin Smith since the Clerks cartoon first aired. This isn't it. It looks like garbage, seriously, if it was a 2-5 minute youtube video it would be acceptable to be this badly animated. Kevin needs to get over his "I smoke weed now so everything is the best thing ever" bullshit and start writing things that are actually funny again. He has consistently gotten worse over the last few years. Everything is dumbed down even more than it was. Jay used to be the stand-out idiot in his movies, now everyone is just as dumb. Dude seems to be comfortable being a lazy writer and recycling the same gags over and over again but the guy who made Clerks wouldn't respect the current hack using the name Kevin Smith.
