Summary: Too scary for kids
Review: This movie was disturbing to me -- since when is mechanically "sucking out" monkey brains entertainment for children? I strongly advise against taking your kids to see this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the worse kid movies of the millenium
Review: I'm a grown man and I took a 3-year-old girl to see this. I watched it on TV and actually thought the series was pretty good, and the kid loved it. We lasted about 30 minutes before we walked out. The kid had not laughed once and you didn't hear a peep from any of the other 9 kids (yup, kids came out in droves for this turkey). Boring wasn't the word.

It looked like it was thrown together in a rush just to make a few bucks. The cartoon channel should be ashamed for throwing this piece of junk out. I thought the Gumby movie was bad, but I would rather watch the Gumby movie a hundred times in a row instead of going back to see the rest of this thing.

In the short time we were at the theater, there was no story. It was basically the Powerpuff girls running around like they were on speed. I think the geniuses who put this movie out figured there wasn't a need for a real story because the kids just wanted to see the girls. Great thinking.

This is truly one of the worse kid movies ever made.

If your a parent, trust me on this one and save your money. You'll have a better time watching the series --for free -- on TV.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This movie is nothing special.
Review: I find the TV show on cartoon network to have a charm and some laughs about it, but these girls work better as a 15 minute show, this movie with it's over-long sound track, very chessey dialoge, and no story really makes it nothing more then a high budget video game. Stay with the cartoon show instead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A bit more violent and more serious than the tv program
Review: Expectations can be damaging. Look at the expectations for the Star Wars films as an example of how anticipation can lead to disappointment. Perhaps that's why I was a bit disappointed with The Powerpuff Girls Movie. The references to Japanese anime are still abundant(and there are great visual references to The Wizard of Oz, Jimmy Durante and vaudville among many others) and the story is still witty but it's really for an older audience of children than the tv show. Nevertheless the film still manages to work on mulitple levels so adults will enjoy this as much as older kids.

Any child over the age of 6 or 7 should be able to appreciate the themes of rejection and being "different". The way they are utilized throughout the story adds depth to the film. I felt, though, that the film lacked much of the humor and charm of the television series. When the girls hit the big screen, the story takes a far too serious turn early on.

Although it's not as perfect as the best episodes of the television series, the movie is a welcome diversion (and escape) from the more adult "kid" movies being released around the same time. How often can you find a film revolving around these themes without bad language and nudity?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: I'm 47 years old, and it takes a LOT for a cartoon to impress me. I became hopelessly addicted to the Powerpuff Girls in 1995, and this movie just renews my love of the franchise.

The movie was everything I expected and much more from Craig McCracken and the entire PpG staff that put this wonderful movie together. If this movie doesn't become a cult anime classic, I'll eat my entire PpG comic book collection!

This is indeed the best cartoon movie I have seen in years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's like watching a kid's version of Charlie's Angels!
Review: I love the Powerpuff girl-cartoons. The film was great and had it all-adventure, comedy, they're cute Bubbles, and creativeness. The film was cute and was as good as Scooby-Doo. However M. Lillard (who played Shaggy) would bring up a hard competition! The movie was exactly like the cartoon series and is for all Powerpuff girls fans, Cartoon network cartoons fans, and for Girl power based flick fans! The girls are really like everyday children except for their super powers of coarse. It's a film that will be inspiring to children. I laughed during a lot of scenes.

Those who weren't Powerpuff girls fans before probably will be now. All Powerpuff Girls fans won't be disappointed! The light humour, wise cracks, and lovable characters make this cartoon enjoyable. It's a Warner Bros flick that's worth watching for anyone who enjoys animated series. As well as entertaining you, the film features morals about making the right choices. Young kids will especially be entertained throughout the movie with adorable little heroes (heroines) fighting crime and trying to save the world. It's a hard-not-to like version of Arnold S action flicks with cutsey pie jokes and enjoyable scenes. It has fun adventure that mainly people who love goofiness in flicks will love. It's a movie version that both adults &kids would love. It has a clever plot and a good story.

For those who have no idea what the Powerpuff Girls story is about- you'll have no problem. The movie tells you everything-about how Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom turn into super heroes and how they got to fighting crime! It's without doubt (alongside Lilo&Stich) the year's funniest animated feature!

Overall it's a pleasing feature and is so far funnier than any film I've watched this year! I guarantee fun but once again that's possible if you enjoy light comedies and animated features! As for all Powerpuff Girl fans-you'll all love it! Those of you who very rarely like cartoons but enjoyed the very entertaining Monsters Inc... This probably isn't something for you!...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: KICK BUTT
Review: Sugar, spice, and everything nice...that's what little girls are made of. Add CHEMICAL X to the recipe--and get little girls with super powers. This origin story is almost non-stop action as the girls (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup) try to understand and to help others understand their powers. Enter Mojo Jojo, who has an eccentric plan to help them.
Might be a little "dark" and scary for younger viewers, but fans will be intrigued.
Rightfully rated PG for extreme cartoon violence. Proceeded by a DEXTER'S LABORATORY short.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Little Sugar, A Lot of Spice, andDefinitelyNotEverything....
Review: Nice! I am a big fan of The Powerpuff Girls. I love the show, so I thought the movie would be really cool. Well, it turns out that the movie was not that great. It's good because of the Powerpuff Girls' loving attitudes and coolness, but bad because it turns very gloomy, and you get tired of the constant, same ol' fighting over and over again. You're better off watching a new episode, because this movie was very lame. The only villain that was fought was Mojo Jojo. There was action, but it was boring and tiring. The same stuff. Not exciting. The movie was pretty depressing, and there is more color and joy in regular episodes. I prefer watching a 5 episode video of them. So, please take my advice... STAY HOME AND WATCH TV!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: NO WIDESCREEN?!
Review: I have to say that this movie is one of the best adaptations fromthe Television to the big screen.A great storyline including the creation of The Powerpuff Girls and their ascendence from little girls with superpowers to heroes of the world.The movie is great and the DVD has a load of special features including the Dexter's Lab short that was shown in the theater along with the movie.The only reason I gave this DVD a 4 star rating is because there is no widescreen version.I saw this movie in the theater and noticed throughout the DVD version some things I had seen in the theater wasn't there.I hope Warner Bros. releases a widescreen version of this sometime in the future.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The PowerPuff Girls Movie
Review: This dvd has been ruined by being in a full-screen format. Full Screen crops the theatrical picture to 4:3 ratio which is the shape of a standard (non-widescreen) TV screen. There is no letterboxing, but up to a third of the original picture is lost. WIDESCREEN preserves the original theatrical picture ratio of the film which will appear in "letterboxed" format on a normal TV screen. If anyone has an all-region dvd player. I recommend The Region 2 PAL DVD (which is a widescreen version).
