Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Video!!!
Review: What can I say? My son and his friends love this video. One thing I don't like is that the aspect ratio is not made for standard TV. The picture looked squeezed from both side.

If I use this DVD on a computer and stretch out the windows horizontally, then the picture looks much better.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: My 4 year old gave it the thumbs down
Review: My son watches movies he likes till the VCR or DVD player dies, he watched this film only twice. Although I found it entertaining, the fairest review I can give it is based on my son's response. We did not get value for money from this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Much better than Rugrats in Paris
Review: Jimmy neutron was a real hit on the big screen the last animated nick film Rugrats in Paris was marketed but no intrestrials were made for the film Jimmy neutron had intrestrials from "Carl Squared" to "Pain Pain go away" they were hillarious hope you buy this DVD so you can enjoy them with your family

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love Jimmy Neutron!!
Review: My 6 year old insisted that we rent this movie and I found myself loving it more than he did. Now all of a sudden I am a die hard Jimmy fan. My son and I watch it together all the time. I haven't figured out yet if it's more suited for kids or their parents. I recommend this movie for everyone whether or not you have kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gets Better Everytime You Watch
Review: My daughter loves this movie. She watches it again and again. She especially loves the 2 music videos after the movie.
As an adult, I also find this movie very entertaining with a good story and great graphics. The movie is funny and exciting. When you watch it over new details come out of the story.
The movie highlights kids and they are the heros - very entertaining (not written to deliver a moral or real life - It's a cartoon).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Go, Jimmy, Go, Jimmy, Go Jimmy, Go!
Review: Kids I work with and hang out with loved this movie. However, many of my peers who have seen it, did not like it at all. Therefore, when I watched this movie for the first time I didn't know what to expect. I was really impressed by JIMMY NEUTRON: BOY GENIUS. Sure it's a kid's movie. However, there are a lot of things in this film that only adults will appreciate. For example, there are references to Star Trek, DUNE, and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT that children just won't get. Also, even though this is a kids movie, as an adult I was highly entertained by it (the kid who loves Ultralord cracked me up everytime and I loved the amusement park rides space ships). Granted, the animation is a different sort than SHREK or MONSTERS, INC. and some people seemed turned off by it. However, I found the retro-computer-animated look rather refreshing. Overall, this is a delightful children's film that has several surprises just for adults.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Endlessly Inventive
Review: Do not be put off by the editorial review above - Jimmy Neutron is a wild, hilarious, and endlessly inventive ride. Neutron is a whiz kid who makes Einstein look like a decent beginner, even if Jimmy's final results are sporadically successful. The film never forgets that Neutron, for all his brains, is a little kid with problems with parents, that girl in school, and trying to be hip. Highlights include how kids spend a day without parents, Neutron's lovable mechanical dog Goddard, the hip kid who is all talk and then no action, and casting Patrick Stewart and Martin Short to play the bad guys. Too silly to be scary for most kids. The computer animation is decent though not up to Pixar's standards. Watch everything carefully - rarely does this film introduce an idea that isn't used later on, from Goddard's Flycycle prototype to the Shrink Ray.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny!
Review: (1st Verse)

Flying through the stars,
Buying Candy Bars,
Even know it is a concentration,

(2nd Verse)

Has a superpowered mind,
Mechanical Canine (Bark, Bark),
He rescues the day fdrom sure destruction.

(3rd verse)

This is the theme song...of "Jimmy Neutron".

That is why I give it a ***** (5 out of 5), because it's funny, including the funny theme song...of "Jimmy Neutron".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Three Thumbs up! - DVD Review
Review: .
Summary:
A great kids movie that is enjoyable for adults as well. Lots of color, action, silly scenes, and imagination from the kids point of view.

DVD Features:
The DVD has some great features, but lacks Directors' Commentary. This is a great disappointment only because the movie is very clever. So, it would have been awesome to hear what thoughts went through the Director's mind while making this.

It does provide a number of pre-quels for this movie, as well as a number of promotional short shows for the Jimmy Neutron cartoon that should become a regular feature on Nickelodeon.

Finally, an interesting quick feature with almost all the actors regarding their respective characters and the fun they had making the film.

Review:
James Isaac Neutron - aka Jimmy Neutron is a young genius with a larger than normal head.

His numerous inventions are creative and his mis-adventures with those inventions are entertaining. - especially his robot dog Goddard, which can transform into anything you can imagine! His secret laboratory is more creatively clever and entertaining than Dexter's.

Jimmy contacts and advanced alien civilization for universal peace, only to find they have kidnapped all parents in his town. So, its up to Jimmy and his friends to construct a fleet of rockets (very childlike rockets) to bring them the alien planet and get their parents back!

Scare Factor:
My kids absolutely loved it (4, 5, 6 years old). While my son (just turned 4) loved it and was not afraid (my concern for movies with "bad guys") I can see how other children may not be so happy about the aliens.

So, go into this great movie with "optimistic caution" for the very young.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for Children and Parents Alike!
Review: Computer animation is poor in this movie but does it really matter?I mean what kind of person would rate a movie on animation?Animation is like a special feature.The animation is not what makes a movie.It's the voice talents and the plot etc that make a movie.That's what I focused on in my veiwing on Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius which is the first computer animation film in the Nick movie seris.Not counting the two Rugrats films this movie was actually all made on the computer.It's not a movie with a bit of adult humor thrown in here and there but the kind of movie that is all for kids just about but parents could enjoy.Adults or parents can enjoy the movie without the extramly brief adult humor unlike Shrek which had alot of it.Why?Because the plot and the idea of it all is interesting.The scene in which the kids make rocket ships from the amusment park to go to space was very interesting and you wouldn't really see that in alot of other films.Basecally the film is good and has alot of great voice talents and evn though I talked about the animation before it is acutally pretty good animation.But what is the movie about is probally the question in your mind.Well then let me begin...

The movie begins in the sky where Jimmy Neutron to trying to send a message to a distant galexy via satllelite that looks alot like a toaster.The message gets through the atomosphere but Jimmy and his best friend Carl Weezer don't make it and fall onto the roof of Jimmy's house.After school that day he learns that that night is the grand opening of a new theme park called Retroland.Too bad it's a school night and Jimmy can't go.Jimmy gets grounded that night also because of an accendent that he had and he Carl and his other friend Sheen decide to sneak out.After having a great time they wish that parents would just go away for a little while.There wish comes true when the aliens from the galexy come to Earth to steal the parents and make them sacrificed to there great Lord.At first the kids are happy with no parents and stay up late and eat way to much candy untill they start to miss them.They then embark on a quest to save their parents from the aliens in an adventure in space.

I know you probally think it sounds corny but you have to see the movie because of the funny jokes that are inside.Such as Sheen's obession with an action figure Ultra Lord which is possible one of the finniest things in the movie.So Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius is worth the bucks to see it.I recommend it to you and most of the other reveiws do too.It's funny and perfect for children....an adults too.

ENJOY!
