Summary: Gratuitous violence, morally repugnant
Review: Why are they making children's movies that are PG-rated? Do the people at Cartoon Network have no conscience whatsoever? This movie deserves zero stars. It's an abomination. I recently took my five-year-old and was incensed by the gratuitous violence and destruction -- the fact that the PPGs never faced any consequences for destroying a school and a town while "playing tag." They were simply no longer popular because the people of Townsville misunderstood their "specialness." Dad neglected to discipline them for their actions. Is the rise of Mojo Jojo supposed to serve that purpose? Does that mean that the adults have no authority to teach a lesson, but Mojo Jojo does? And what's up with the buxom but beheaded Mayor's aide? What kind of misogynist came up with that idea? I have never written a review on Amazon before. I do so now because I am so appalled at this awful movie. I'm still kicking myself for not doing my homework before taking my child. There is nothing powerful about these puff girls. They send a dangerous message that you can wreak havoc on a community and get away with it. THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN!!!

Summary: powerpuff girls
Review: I love this movie. I can't even begin to express how much. i have seen the Powerpuff Girls as a new feminine revolution, they teach young girls not to let themselves get pushed around (not to mention bathing and being responsible for their actions) if you are a girl, you were a girl, you have a girl, or you like girls, go see this movie!

Summary: Perfectomongo.
Review: I must confess that I'm a little baffled by other comments many other reviewers are making - such as calling the humor in Powerpuff girls 'cheap', the dialogue 'cheesey', and the film itself bereft of plot. Though I highly disagree, I suppose all of the following could be true, depending on what level you choose to consume 'The Powerpuff Girls' at. The script, I thought, was truly the wittiest part. There were many little snickets of pun humor that I found to be very amusing; not the sort of humor that sends you reeling in helpless paroxysms of laughter, but a more subtle brand of entertainment. For example, when addressing the professor, the narrator ventues: "I must profess, sir...(etc)", or perhaps when Mojo Jojo explains about how, as a rule of thumb, humans have always had the advantage of power over apes, he calls his brothers to arms to 'oppose this thumb' - both of these and many, many other such sayings were littered throughout the film, and I do believe that that is one of the primary reasons of why I enjoyed this movie so immensely. The plot, I must confess, is not designed for the littler children that enjoyed the original show. As many reviewers have already said, from a small child's vantage point, this film will be a great, long bore. The subtleties of this movie are what, in my opinion, make it so wonderful - and many of those subtleties small children are less than likely to catch. So, in my opinion, the Powerpuff Girls movie is a wonderful, delighting work of the cinema. But depending on how you slice it, it could come off as a great, hyper-hyped deflation. It depends on mental age, maturity, and patience as to whether or not 'The Powerpuff Girls' will agree with you.

Summary: Awful with some inappropriate content...and I'm not a prude
Review: I took my four and a half year old daughter to see this, as she will occasionally watch the show on tv. The tv version itself is somewhat amusing so I thought this would be something to go and see. I could not wait for it to be over. True, it did tell the story of how they came to be, which may have been interesting, but it was not. The drawings/picture itself was no better than tv, the plot was boring and there were some very crude jokes which I found inappropriate for her to be watching. It was also very violent, more so than the usual crime busting they do in the show. As I said, I am not a prude but I felt this was really terrible and somewhat inappropriate for younger kids.

Summary: Horrific Violence!
Review: My husband and I took our three girls (3 - 7) to see this movie and were horrified by the violence! In the opening sequence the destruction begins in their laboratory/home. And continues to detroy the town (as the girls play "tag") and the last half of the movie when the girls have to figure out how to kill of all the different apes they inadvertently set free. You may wonder why we went to see this movie. As a casual observer catching snippets of Power Puff cartoons, I thought they were a little rough but assumed there was some underlying moral to put the violence in context (turns out there isn't). People have vigoriously defended the Power Puff Girls as depicting "powerful girls". I searched fruitlessly for any inkling of a "powerful girl" role model and came up empty handed. There is NO redeming value to this movie...

Summary: Dark and fun
Review: The first thing to say about this film is that The Powerpuff Girls on TV are different from the Powerpuff Girls on the big screen. In both media, they are cute and funny and silly, but in the theatre, they are a lot darker. PpG, The Movie, felt more like a film for adult fans of animation, not small children. There is enough violence (and bodies) to maybe scare some very small children. But for the fans who are older, this film has it all. PpG, The Movie, gives the background to the origin story that the series alludes to, and, although short, is a great one-off adventure for the girls. The animation was strong and the film moved at an excellent pace. The best part, though, I must say, was the score by James Venable. His work with the series is good, but the incidental music in the film has the perfect level of darkness and light to fit each scene. The breakbeat background in the Tron-like tag sequence was more energizing than any chase music I've heard in ages. Maybe not recommended for the littles, but for 8 & up, The Powerpuff Girls are great on the big screen.

Summary: NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!
Review: I am a big fan of the Powerpuff Girls t.v. show and this movie is not a good example of what a real episode is like. Yea, it has all the pop culture referenses and a few laughs but it is too busy trying to be a big screen, over the top animation marvel. They should have stuck to the original formula and both old and new fans would have been amazed. The plot is slow and there is not enough dialogue from the girls. It is just flat. Sorry Girls!!

Summary: Disappointing to a PPG freak like me
Review: I watched this the day it came out. There are a number
of reasons why it was disappointing to me...
1)The Dexter short at the beginning
2)Only 1 villain and plot
3)Cheezy humor suitable for either a 2-year old or
a highly sheltered adult.
Also, I got really tired of the constant nighttime scenes.
... I understand that this movie was about the
Girls after the Chemical X incident,but [they]
couldve added more! Oh well, maybe the sequel will be better

Summary: Powerpuff Girls Rock!
Review: I am forty-years old and have been a PpG fan since day one back in November of 1998. I LOVE THE PPG MOVIE! Some people do not understand that this is the prequel to the TV series, so of course it will not have all the villains in the movie. Craig McCracken wanted to balance out the film where fans of the show, and people who have never seen the PpG, can enjoy it. The movie is just like the TV series.
I am happy to see that Craig did not make any improvements to the characters as other films do that go from TV to the big screen. He kept the characters the same as they are on the show. The animation is a little better.
The movie makes references to such films "Planet of the Apes," "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes," "The Wizard OF Oz," and "King Kong."
My favorite scene is where the girls are playing tag in Townsville. The girls are having a ball playing tag around Townsville. They do not realize how rough they are playing and in the process, they are destroying the town.
This film makes you laugh while other animated shows take themselves too seriously. The PpG reminds me of the Cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid. Cartoons like Atom Ant, The Beatles Cartoons, Spider-Man, Top Cat, the Impossibles, and the campy 1966 Batman TV series.
It is not only the animation that makes the movie great; it is also the talents of the voiceover actors that bring the characters to life. E.G. Daily, Tara Strong, Cathy Cavadini, and the rest of the cast make these characters laughable, loveable, and believable. Everyone has done an excellent job on this movie.
I hope Cartoon Network and Warner Brothers decide not to get rid of the cast of this fine and unique series. The show will lose many fans if CN and WB do decide to get a new cast. The cast was almost replaced before the voices were recorded for the movie. CN and WB did not want to pay the cast all the money that the cast were supposed to get for the TV series, the movie, and the PpG merchandise. I am happy to hear that things worked out for the film.
I was not disappointed with the PpG movie. I love the show more now after seeing the movie. I plan to see it again. I cannot wait of this movie on DVD.
If you only see on animated movie this year, see the Powerpuff Girls Movie. If you are not a fan or have never seen the PPG, you will be come a fan.

Summary: PowerPuff...PowerFlop
Review: I took my three year old son to see this movie and was very disappointed. My son and I often spend time together watching the Powerpuff Girls on TV. This movie was a long and over detailed movie about the creation of the Powerpuff Girls. The Girls faced their enemy MoJo JoJo. Boring. You will not see any new characters in this movie, nor any imagination. My son watched but found little to laugh at as compared to the Scooby Movie in which he laughed often. I would have rather we stayed home and watched a rerun episode of the Girls on TV than this movie.
