The Prodigy (2009) Reviews

• Horrible

  jbdubs12010-07-24

  This was by far one of the worst movies my son and daughter have ever picked out. The animation on the DVD cover and stating it was from the artists and animators of Shrek and Sharktale on the cover seemed like a straight out lie. I have seen video games with better graphics and story lines. I am a huge fan of indie movies but this was beyond horrible, the panda was creepy, the music was even worse and the plot and dialog in the movie was deplorable. I would definitely not recommend anyone this movie, even at renting it for a week for a $1.00, I feel like it was a total waste of money

  This movie is terrible. The graphics are reminiscent of an early nineties video game. The characters are flat, the "plot" seems like it was written by 10 year old kids. During the fight scenes, the characters' arms and legs go THROUGH the other character's body. And yeah, the panda is creepy and sounds like like his voice is done by R2D2 if he could actually speak. The "lovely yet humble" KG has purple hair and a Barbie body. If that makes her lovely, more power to her, but she really seems like a 12 year old boy's idea of anime perfection. The music is just as terrible as the rest of it. I can't believe that people actually paid money to see this. I'd get my money back if I hadn't just borrowed it from a friend who didn't warn me about how awful it is.

• The worst. The absolute worst.

  Anybody that gave this movie more than two stars is trolling. I have seen many films derided as the worst in existence, and let me tell you: This is the absolute worst. There are literally no redeeming qualities in this movie whatsoever. Animation: Looks like it was done in Poser. The cut scenes in Final Fantasy VII had better graphics. Plot: Dumb, predictable and boring. Voice acting: Stiff and lifeless. Characters: Differing between bland and annoying as f***. Jar-Jar Binks cannot hold a candle to the panda master. The ONLY possible redemption this movie might offer is some of the set pieces, but that will be squandered completely when you see the complete void of inspiration that are the jade, silver and gold rooms, one of which, I kid you not, is decorated with a giant down-to-the-details ripoff of the Mortal Kombat logo. The ONLY reason anyone should watch this is to increase your tolerance for pain. All of my friends question how I can sit through Battlefield Earth, The Last Airbender, Movie 43 and 2016: Obama's America without ever once wanting to gnaw my own leg off, and the truth is that those movies are all masterpieces compared to The Prodigy. IT IS THAT BAD.

• As bad as "The Little Panda Fighter"

  Oh great, another Kung-Fu Panda rip-off. This is the worst animated movie I have ever seen. I cannot believe this trailer of the movie appeared on my 2009 DVD of Donkey Xote. The animation is poorly done. It looks like it was taken off from a PlayStation 2 game. It even makes Foodfight look like Reboot. It's even worse than Video Brinquedo's animation. The voice acting is nitrous. The panda is this film is creepier than the panda on the Little Panda Fighter. KG looks like a character from some anime. The plot is hideous. The characters are lame. The setting was a rip-off to Kung-Fu Panda's setting. This is one of the worst of the worst animated movies I've ever seen in my entire life. 0/10

• If you value your life stay away from this movie. Please.

  Watching this movie was the equivalent of your eyeballs committing suicide. The poor sound and voices is similar to sticking your head in a jet turbine. If you are old enough to understand the story line then you will probably not make it past minute 5 intact. This movie reminded me of nuclear devastation. The panda drumming scene was probably less realistic than lipsinking without moving your lips. I phoned 911 and reported massive head trauma after watching. I know neighborhood lemonade stands more deserving of the profit this movie made. The day after I watched this I woke up to find out that a third of my internal organs had abandoned me. I enjoy even the worst of movies but my life has forever changed. Please spend a few dollars on your friendly neighborhood lemonade stands or something but do not support this movie. ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆.
