Korgoth of Barbaria (2006)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Lack of good storyline.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

If you like Heavy Metal The Movie, Bakshi's Wizards, Conan, etc, you will love this. It was surprising how similar it is to those 70's/80's animation, with today's need to use so much digital animation.I understand the episode I saw is a pilot, but I think this show has a lot of potential.Since there was a lot of graphic violence it is appropriately rated 'MA'. However, very few language and sexual situations.There were a few references to modern items (chewing gum, newspaper, etc.) in the show, but they weren't enough to spoil the feel.My vote is for more episodes!

Korgoth of Barbaria is some crazy genius cartoon-imation. Body fluids galore! Wowee I totally dig this creation. When can we get more?! This show contains screaming filth, FCC approved porn, rivers of blood, farting, multi-teated monsters conjured from chewing gum and giant flying pigeons. There's also plenty of clever word-play for the intellectual who may think cartoons are beneath him. Or her. I recommend Korgoth to any devotee of post-modern comics, especially if you find parasites funny. Parents may find Korgoth too vile for children but I assure you there's scarcely anything here that kiddies haven't seen in other cartoons and I know plenty of well-rounded children who would find Korgoth hilarious on a visceral level. It's quite clear that the creators of Korgoth were fed a steady diet of cartoons when they were tots, because they know how to deliver a satisfying piece of well-written, well-drawn animation.

For once, The Cartoon Channel has done something right for their "Adult Swim" lineup. This cartoon is a lovely parody of the sword-and-sorcery movies, such as "Conan the Barbarian." It is filled with extremely goofy and exaggerated violence and swordplay. It seems like the sort of cartoon John Krikfalusi would do if he were to choose a parody of the barbarian genre (instead, he choose to make the witless new "Ren and Stimpy"). So far, only one episode has been shown, but this new cartoon looks promising. It follows in the same footsteps as the 1981 classic adult cartoon "Heavy Metal," which had some sword and sorcery parodies in their "Den" and "Taarna" sequences, both of which also had over-the-top comic and cartoonish violence. "Korgoth" also features beautiful decapitations, oceans of blood, and grotesque lines of odor emanating from the fetid barbarians. I love the gross touch the cartoonists have made, with flies buzzing around the protagonist as he urinates. Clearly, this cartoon wants you to REALLY experience the smelly world of barbarians.It should be good, as the creator was the storyboarder for "Spongebob Squarepants," already a classic kiddie cartoon that also appeals to adults. Hopefully, Cartoon Channel should pick this one up. If they do, be sure to tune in and see if the quality of the cartoon remains constant.

If you like splatter movies and film/ comic violence in general, this is the show for you! Great dialog, great everything. Personally I think this is the very best cartoon show on TV by the creature of Spongebob! And seeing that this is the first episode, I think the best ones are yet to be made. Not that the pilot is bad or anything. I love the fact that Korgoth is a straight forward type: when he get's a chance, he makes love to a chick, when he gets angry, he punches someone down. You just have to love him. So do check out the series for your and the shows sake. This is a hit waiting to be seen by those who do and those who don't like it!
