Korgoth of Barbaria (2006)

Sadly Over-hyped

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Okay, I know Rick and Morty came out 7 years after this one, but I still find it epic and awesome. This was Aaron Springer's well-known creation before Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer on Disney XD, which I will admit, is not as fun to watch as this one, but I still love it either way. But THIS is admittedly Aaron Springer's best creation yet. Yes, he hasn't worked on Rick and Morty, but I would imagine IF he did. Heck, he even worked on Samurai Jack before this. Speaking of which, Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory and Adult Swim's now owned Samurai Jack, directed the animation for this. Yes, he also produced and directed Springer's other rejected Cartoon Network pilot: Periwinkle Around the World, which also is good, but this one is awesome. It's too bad that the show was not green lit due to incredibly high budgets, and yet Adult Swim green lit Superjail!, Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job, and Xavier Renegade Angel??!! ARE THEY NUTS??!! Oh well, I still find Korgoth of Barbaria to be very awesome. Plus the voice of Hoss Delgado is in this show, which is awesome.

Korgoth of Barbaria!!! Ever since having watched "The Barbarians" (1987) -an admittedly poor movie- as a kid, I have been on the seemingly never-ending quest for some at least equally good barbarian entertainment. Just by chance I heard of an adult cartoon named "Korgoth of Barbaria" in which Genndy Tartakovsky (Whom I highly venerate since "Dexter's Laboratory") is involved. And now, finally, after years of searching I have found The ultimate barbarian!!!Korgoth is the most entertaining action cartoon ever! It contains over-the-top violence that is tamed by the never missing hilarious humor of the series. I could hardly stop laughing when I saw the prime episode for the first time. It is just so funny. I actually watched it four times in a row because I could just not believe that I was actually watching the cartoon I've been dreaming about since I was a kid. But do not be mistaken. This is definitely not a cartoon for children. It is one though for grown-ups who are still in touch with their inner child. If you appreciate some good adult entertainment, you're in for one hell of ride.

Every child should watch Korgath of Barbaria, especially the ones that don't have daddies. The series once again brings the fantasy ages back to the fore. The pilot episode has so many remarkable lines of dialog and gruesome fighting, that one is both appalled that you're laughing and wondering what the next vicious fight will entail. I think it paints the barbarian hero in several broadsword like strokes: those being Action not words, strength not intelligence, food over riches, and save the busty lady for later. Like most of Genndy's work on Samurai Jack, the story and action sequences are cinematic, and contain the right music, slow motion, and voice talent needed to hopefully give this series As long a life as the Samurai Jack series enjoyed.

Pilot episode was AMAZING.. Watch this when it comes out, you'll love it, and i want more. Its all about beer, sex, and killing. Manly things that men do, and even incorporates Dungeons & Dragons, i could picture this sort of thing in a Role-Playing adventure even. All set to a Thrah/Heavy Metal soundtrack which sounds amazing(I hope they sell it). If you thought Family Guy and Aqua Teen Hunger Force were good shows, then Korgoth will blow you away, and unlike Family guy, Korgoth's obscenities are pretty forward and easy to understand. you might want to take caution of your kids watching this, although my little brother loved it.
