The Rise of Sir Longbottom (2021) User Reviews

For kids but violent in parts

[BandSAboutMovies · 3/10 · 22 January 2021]

Pocketman and Cargoboy - from 2018's Pocketman and Cargoboy - and Section 62 are back to face the threat of the 155 IQ man, Sir Longbottom.

This has been described as a kung fu adventure, but I wouldn't go expecting Tony Jaa.

Beyond the name Longbottom, this movie has some similarities to the world of Harry Potter, as its young teens learning how to protect the world in a hidden school. It also has plenty of Spy Kids influence.

The weird thing is, this seems like a kids movie and then characters get beaten and bloodied and even killed. It gets pretty dark pretty quickly when it starts so light hearted.

That said, director and writer Clay Moffatt has worked hard for the budget he has. My only major pet peeve is that for a movie with such a short running time, this has about eleven minutes of credits.

DIY Tenet only its completely incoherent

Naturally, I never expected the first adventure of Pocket Man and Cargo Boy to get a sequel. Even though they had the post credit MCU-style scene with Sir Longbottom, who would have thought they could actually pull this off. I felt it was wishful thinking at best.

But lo and behold, we got a sequel, and with the recent announcement of the final part of the trilogy in production, the hopes and dreams of Clay Moffatt are coming true and we got ourselves an all time bad trilogy. Should I be happy that Moffatt continues to live the dream of a DIY film maker, or should I be the sourpuss and make fun of him? I think I will be both.

This movie franchise is bad, and it continues to be a stain on the great state of Arizona. But on the other hand, at least this was a polished turd as opposed to just being a plain turd. Better effects, better opening and certainly a bigger idea aides this movie. We also have some more interesting fun with a time traveling McGuffin that really comes in handy more than once, sometimes resetting the timeline. But the biggest thing is what will be in store for us in the third chapter? Is Agent Jaden coming back? He better!!

Now a lot of people will harp on this franchise for being terrible and it certainly is, but at least they are having fun. Isn't that the fruits of life? Either way, this movie is bad but it is still a gem for those that love to watch this kind of tripe in lieu of the wonderfully made epics.

What did I just watch...

Horrific "Kung Fu" Sequences that were never choregraphed above 10FPS. Uninspiring dialog and actors/actresses who make it even worse.

Plot/Story, if you can call it that, is so lazy and haphazard.

Can not tell who the audience for this is meant to be. So hammy and cheesy that it felt like crappy wannabe Spy Kids until the blood and death popped in.

Don't understand how people got money to make this.

This makes me mad. When people get money to make something so bad! It just hurts the heart. Shame to all involved! Shame : (

Can we give less than one star please

OK my first review. I only reviewed this film because I got tired of all the negative reviews most of the films seem to get. Then I saw the one rave review an decided to give it a watch. I went in expecting it to be somewhere in the middle of the rave and the pan. I was very wrong. This movie does not have any redeeming value. Even as an Indie film it was atrocious. I couldn't even get through all of it. This is worse than a waste of time. Its not even the bad kind of movie you can enjoy like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". All copies of this movie should be burned. PLEASE.

No, Just no.

Good try, but not enough retakes-- you are allowed to reshoot scenes to make them better.

Duble finger down 👎👎

The next time you want to do something creative try painting, making movies is just not for you. There is no point in commenting on what is not good, when everything is pure bottom!

Fun Adventure Film!

[Jasonmccrite · 8/10 · 25 January 2021]

This fun adventure action packed indie film reminds me of Spy Kids on a budget. It's light hearted fun with a detailed storyline most indie films never achieve. Impressive fight scenes, visual effects, and pacing made this film entertaining to watch.
