The best animated action film I've ever seen. I really loved this film. The action sequences were funny. The reason why I love this movie is because, at the beginning of this film, when it says "This is a story about stick figures...", the opening sequence in space is a parody of the beginning of Toy Story 2, the Japan sequence is a parody of The Wolverine, the Eiffel Tower sequence is a parody of Rush Hour 3 and the ending scene is nearly a parody of King Kong.

Dick Figures was something I enjoyed watching at first. I found the earlier episodes simplistic and charming in their own way. While the show did go downhill for me around the third season, I did remain cautiously optimistic about the feature film, especially since the making-of videos did seem to imply that they were putting a lot of work into making it. Besides, I think Ed Skudder is a good artist and animator, so I was curious to see how it would turn out.While I think it's far from Skudder's best, I thought it was okay. If you're a fan of Dick Figures, you'll definitely get a kick out of it. If, like me, you're not the biggest fan but you don't mind it, then it might be worth your time. The story is fairly simple, just two guys going on a big road trip adventure and there's some jokes along the way. Simple stories are all fine and dandy, but not when they're as predictable as this. It's basically the same story as the Smosh movie, complete with the same tropes; they bicker, they argue, they have a big fight and separate before making up and saving the day, it's about as predictable as you can get.As for the jokes, there's the occasional clever moment, but it's hardly laugh-out-loud hilarious. It's like Superbad or something along those lines; pretty childish, but sometimes it's charming. Except unlike Superbad, the charming moments are pretty rare. I'm just giving credit where it's due and saying that those moments are there.For me, the big selling point was the animation. I wasn't expecting it to be amazing, since it was animated in Flash and the characters are stick figures, but I actually found it really nice to look at. The backgrounds, while simple, are nicely done, and the character animation is very smooth and expressive. I got the impression that the animators working on this film were conscious of the fact that the designs were incredibly simplistic, so they did their best to make up for it with some really expressive animation, and, like I said, it does look nice. Given how limited the show's animation is, this is an impressive upgrade.Dick Figures: The Movie is a straightforward movie that, at times, is downright predictable, but it has enough charm in the animation and look to at least recommend a shot. As an animator, I got a kick out of the visuals, and as a film fan I got a kick out of the characters (sometimes) and Nick Keller's score, though I'm not sure if those good points were quite enough to make up for the predictable story and stupid jokes. Overall, it was okay.

For those who have seen every single episode of the web series at least twice and have grown to really enjoy the series, will love this film adaptation. It has some really well animated and written scenes. The second time through watching I found myself pausing the movie and reading things in the background or on the walls; I found there were many throwbacks to old movies, video games and pop culture. The plot was a little jumpy from place to place, but this was blended in by the writing that is often found it the web series shorts. The action is great, the laughs are awesome, and the story is fun. This film adaptation is a great work and it will be interesting to see what happens to Red and Blue in the future.
