Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back

source: Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back

A nearly endless waste of space, Space Chimps 2 Zartog Strikes Back is the same joke for 75 straight minutes- a joke that wasn't funny the first time and is even less funny this time. I have to admit, there is a single thing this film improves on from the previous one- that being the voice of Zartog. Obviously unable to afford the same star-studded cast after its tremendous failure at the box office- Andy Samberg and Jeff Daniels are nowhere to be seen or heard rather. Although I surprisingly missed the half asleep Sanberg in his role, now replaced sheepishly by Spongebob voice actor Tom Kenney- I actually much rather preferred John DiMaggio (the voice of Jake the Dog and Bender) as the voice of Zartog. Literally everything else about this movie though should be incredibly ashamed of itself. If you thought the first one was lacking a decent plot, script, dialogue, and halfway decent animation- well strap in folks! Because all of that is somehow even worse than beforehand. There basically is no plot here, a few different random storylines attempted to be webbed into one cohesive narrative is hardly even achieved- and every moment it shifts between the two I always want the other one back. It is painful to watch, there are moments that are so cringe-inducing that I shouted at the screen many times in defeat. Hell, they couldn't even come up with a good plot for zartog to even strike back- WHICH IS LITERALLY THE TITLE OF THE FILM. All he does is be stupid about Earth and point a offbrand Wii remote at some people. In the end, Space Chimps 2 is best watched with your eyes closed and your ears plugged. Not a single moment of its short but dreadfully tedious runtime will entertain you or fill you with any sort of emotion other than pure suffering. My Rating: 1.3/10.

Space Chimps 2: Zatrog Strikes Back is a masterpiece of a film. I cannot put the amount of emotions I have gone through while watching this lovely film. I really cared about the relationship between the monkey and the fetus and was very invested in the story presented in the film. Zartog is up there with Darth Vader and the Joker as one of the greatest villains in movies, and he was genuinely threatening and yet comical at the same time. The themes of belongingment and friendship this film had were touching themes that added to the film and the character development of Comet and the fetus girl was beautiful. Basically, I give Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back an 11/10, but I'll have to settle for just a 10/10 because this site isn't built for movies as great as Chimps 2: Zartog.

'The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.' It is my belief that it would be easier for a monkey to write the complete works of Shakespeare then write a film as bad as this

my kids took me to the cinema to watch this. we hadnt seen any reviews or anything we hadnt even seen the first one but i thought it would be good. when i got there: first it was kinda boring then all the characters especially kilowatt-were annoying, boring and unbelievable and finally it wasn't even funny. so i suggest you don't waste dhs50 on this movie because its not worth it. the only thing that is cool is the animation, zartog and the colors.

On my recent viewing spree I managed to find time to review Space Chimps 2. Now Space Chimps 1 didn't exactly get me excited. What they've done here is they've taken everything they did manage to get right in Space Chimps 1 and got it wrong in Space Chimps 2. It was truly terrible. People are complaining that the animation, acting and characterisation was terrible and it did! The only reason is - IT TAKES EFFORT! Movie studios like this are just out to get the money and then worry about quality after. If they'd actually put effort they'd of realised the numerous continuity errors they'd made. Take for example the scene where Zartog is holding onto the spaceship. He is on the cockpit windscreen and then seconds later he's on the wing! It was just silly! And the only kind of characterisation I can see goes to the Indian scientist and still the characterisation was poor. It was based all around jokes and I can't speak on behalf of the children and whether they liked this but I thought it was completely terrible!

Bestest movie ever with funny family guy and it made by one of the primates that brokighet yous hrek truly a masterpiece in every way

I watched this film with my two younger brothers, knowing full well that the first film was a slight disappointment. I wasn't expecting the horrors which slithered out of the TV screen after the opening scene of this film however. It started with a five minute crash and burn style clip together of the most humorous pieces of the previous film. I'm not sure if this was to waste time and make the real "film" seem longer, but It was a waste of time. There are a few attempts at humour, but the animation is so poor, even these look like too much effort for the animation team. Then there is the scene in which Comet is flying through space, enjoying the views of some enticing FALSE COLOUR IMAGES ONE COULD EASILY OBTAIN FROM A GOOGLE SEARCH! This annoyed me deeply, as I am currently studying astrophysics and know that these images are FALSE COLOUR, and would be invisible to the naked eye! This shows a clear lack of either knowledge or prior research and highlights the "Ohh! That looks pretty! Let's make a slide show of this trash and edit a cheesy spaceship with a monkey in it over the top of these pictures I just this second got of the Internet! Then there are the characters, or rather, lack of them. Unlike many films, this one simply featured the ten most popular or memorable characters from the previous film. But not memorable for a good reason. Take Kilawazazuggyuuu... Whatever she is... Whenever she squirms onto the screen screeching trash at us through that annoyingly small mouth of hers, you just want to pick her up and throw her. I mean, just listen to that noise! What!? What is that!? A giant glowing football? And then pretending to be an aeroplane!? What is this? Is it some sort of cryptic code that only a child understands? I was sat with two young children who couldn't decipher this junk! Then there is the title. Zartog strikes back. He clearly doesn't strike back. He doesn't even do anything. He merely boasts of his prowess and waves a crowbar/ magical game controller. I mean come on! You should call it Space chimps 2, Zartog stands there, or space chimps 2. Zartog gets chased by a dog. What sort of vengeance is this! I have more sinister plots sneaking in to the living room and finding my brothers watching watching my Mum painting the fence than this trash can offer! If you've watched this film, I feel sorry for you. I wish there was some eye sterilisation treatment I could offer... This is one title that should just lay down and die, along with the animation and management "Companies" that go with it.

Maybe as a grown-up, I am not the best qualified to rate a film that is clearly designed for children ... but this film was not designed for children, it was designed BY children - or maybe that's an insult to children. I would like to criticise the plot, except that I couldn't find any evidence of one. At no point was there any excitement and at no point was there any humour. The only piece of creativity which deserves mention is Kilowatt - probably the most irritating character whose ridiculous body, trilling, squeeking voice and general annoying script had my grinding my teeth every time she wobbled onto the screen. This showed that at least the creators were able to excel in one thing: to drive you nuts! So, what exactly was the point of this film? I would say that the sole point was to make money, an obvious show of "Right, let's make another film about monkeys. No need to put any money, effort or imagination into it. People will watch any rubbish these days, so let's give them some crap and buy ourselves some nice cars with the profit." The only emotion this inspired in me was irritation at how gullible I was to waste 80 minutes of my life in this way. If you want to entertain your children, I would recommend you paint their bedroom walls and allow them to watch as they dry. This would give them more fun.

Movie is obviously targeted to kids and I'm quite sure they will have fun with it. Animation is not a masterpiece, but not so bad as someone said. The big lack, in my opinion, is the story, really there isn't too much. Anyway, I've found some scenes really funny. Also, I appreciated the intention to make it educative, creating interest about space and cosmology. The scene where Comet is flying to the alien planet watching outside the ship's window at real planets and galaxies is a touch of class. Well, it is not Toy Story or Shreck, but I don't think they had the same budget to spend. Finally, if you have kids that want to watch a funny movie, this is a good choice. Otherwise, you can pass over.
