One of the worst animations I've ever seen.
XueHuaBingYu6 September 2019
The animation is really bad. The characters are so ugly and the voice acting is terrible. Not to mention the accent, the way they act is unbearable. It's so unnatural. Moreover, the speed is so slow and the beginning part is so boring. So, it gives me the feeling of watching the boring opera. After 5 minutes of running time, I really wanted to stop. But I gave it a chance. So, I watched for another 8 minutes. Another 8 minutes passed, I couldn't bear it anymore. Therefore, finally, I decided to stop.

Because I didn't watch it to the end, I admit that I don't know how it ends or what happens next. The story might be good, but because of it's very bad animation quality, it turned out to be a terrible animation. It's really a waste of time. Thus, I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this animation.

Horrible
aareal30 May 2020
Horrible movie, very bad writing, Neil should seriously consider doing something else. The story was full of cliches, the episodes were badly stitched together, story line jumped from one episode to another, horrible dialogue, shallow and non-consequential at the same time. And, at the end, the last blow - they hinted/promised to make more of such! Horrible.

Amazingly well crafted film
jeremy-1816 March 2020
So big family gathering and we took all the kids, nieces, nephews to see Strike. They all loved it! Some of the characters especially Hedy really resonated with the gang. Waaaaaay better than most of the generic rubbish hoist upon us nowadays

Great Family Film
gcourt-6731817 April 2020
Have watched many films over the last few weeks with the Kids. This had something for everyone. Both the kids and us (Mum & Dad) laughed! The story totally captures you, we even had the kids cheering on Mungo at the end. Fantastic!

Wonderful movie for all the family
slippy-9267117 April 2020
Even our teenage daughter loved this one. We laughed and cried. Its has great characters and a fantastic story. The design of the characters looks hand made, but once you get used to it, its very charming. Its values are good and ones that you would be happy for your kids to see. Can't recommend this enough!!!

Family Values and funny Film

A film that truly embraces the best of family values. One that you would be happy to watch WITH you kids. We all laughed out loud. Its a wonderful charming British movie. A lot better than much of that comes out of Hollywood. Great!

Great Animated Movie!
alanburke-8662917 April 2020
This is a British made film, in the traditions of raw stop frame animation. It looks beautifully hand crafted, from what one can see. The environment and characters are fantastic with the attention to detail that one does not see often. The story is charing and very funny, it held our attention through out the 100mins. A proper feature film as good as anything that Disney has done, from a story point of due.

The characters are well developed and all though diversity is a overused word, this film really has some interesting and eccentric characters that are believable and wonderful in their own rights. Definitely one to watch!

Entertaining Film - The Best!!!!
isha-0022521 April 2020
Loved this, watched it with my parents and my children, haven't laughed this much in ages. Strong characters with strong values you would be happy for your children to watch. Kids want to watch it again, which is unusual. Good film!

Strike scores on multiple fronts!
wayne880823 April 2020
For those of us who are tired of the major studio's cookie-cutter content that plays on predictable story-lines and stereotypical characters, Strike proved to be a great alternative family-friendly movie with quirky, eccentric characters that one finds oneself rooting for as the story unfolds. The stop-motion animation and unique characters make for an old-school, home-made feel to it which I found particularly enjoyable in this world of overly-produced CGI-for-the-masses movies.

Underrated Movie
mohamedkazzaz21 September 2019
Released in 2018 ? this is totally an underrated movie.

The animation is great and the effort made to produce such an amazing quality stop motion film from independent studio is surely respectable.

The storyline on the otherhand is very good too, it has some flaws but not a deal breaker.

This is a hidden gem, highly recommended.

Fantastic Animated Film!!!!
khanaisha-9503322 April 2020
This was a great family experience, to see the children, my husband and I all laughing and crying together was great. It is very different to the big studio films, but just as good, if not better!

This charming tale wins points with me!
enewman-7226523 April 2020
This independent, stop motion film gave me such a nostalgic trip into my own childhood. I was a little turned off by the retro fuzzy materials at first, but quickly grew to appreciate the delightful craft that went into this film. The landscapes and life of the story was quite enjoyable and endearing. I laughed and cried out with plenty of awwws! Now I'm inspired to rally the kids to make our own little characters out of recycled materials. How refreshing!

The charm of independent animation still alive and kicking!
markjhadley20 September 2019
What an incredible film! Everything has been hand made and designed by actual people (not computers) and you can really tell how much work must have gone into this film. It has great music, the script and characters are funny, and there really is something in there for everyone. It reminds me of Wallace & Gromit back in the day.

Also, my kids loved it. And they already want to watch it again. So, I highly recommend checking out this great film - and ignore the haters! We live in the world of superheroes and blockbusters, shiny but soulless. Well this film has soul! And a lot of heart. If you want a film made by people, not computers, check out Strike/Mungo!

Amazing Family Film!!!
santosjose-1111928 April 2020
This is one to watch together. Its an original story of a boy following his dream against the pressure of following in the family footsteps. Its about family, friends and community. A wonderful film!!! Its very funny and has some great villains with references to some classic films (without spoiling anything). These homages are done very well and are seamless in the plot. Lovely family film.......
