This ain't no "Meet The Beat-Alls".
Where are ridiculously funny and parodic characters like Lucky Captain Rabbit King when you need them?
Making MoJo JoJo the antagonist-focus of the film seemed like a good idea to me . . .until I saw how humorless and toothless he is in this flick. Where was MoJo's over-the-top hyperbole and his signature ineffective rage?
Also, I question how necessary an "origin of..." type of movie is with a popular brand that's been available to us for more than a couple of years now (and with several volumes of home video releases). They certainly didn't expand upon or improve the story for fans already familiar with the Girls.
The various incarnations of evil monkeys was great, though - a brief moment of what this flick could and should have been.
P.S. - Warning: even the Dexter's Lab short is strangely alien. It seems like they spent a lot of time cleaning up the animation and making it flashy, but for naught; this was the ugliest "episode" of Dexter I've ever seen. Even the voice talent seemed to be on loan - Dee Dee sounded more like Chrissy from Three's Company, and Dexter sounded as irritatingly unlike himself as Mel Blanc's weak successors in recent Looney Tunes projects. What gives?
