Level Up (2011)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

A lot of fun.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is so cool! It was funny, had an interesting plot, and I thought the effects were decent, at least by Cartoon Network standards. I've heard people say this movie is just trying to be an edgy gaming show when I don't think that's the case. Some things in this movie are pretty impressive and makes me think how much effort was put into the film. I mean I think it's parodying World of War craft and I think it shows, the characters are gamers who are also good characters think a glitch world is a beta test level or expansion pack which, wouldn't you think it is! Also they end up in the game and the models are so low quality and the animation is awful! and that is so true to games like that. 2 gripes I have with the movie is the game developer Max or whoever he was very bland and forgettable, but they fix him in the TV series and the ending is stupid, but those are just 2 nitpicks in an otherwise great movie. So if you got the time check it out and start rocking to that awesome theme.

What can I say that has not been said in the previous reviews? Not withstanding that this "Thing", and I must stress Thing, I so bad that I wanted to gouge my eyes out of the sockets. I've been playing online games for years, and this show is plain insulting and so bad that I recommend burning the film so it does not contaminate anything good Cartoon Network might have in the future. Mainly the acting was not just sub par, but downright miserably bad. As for the cg, I don't even want to go into that. I can probably do a better job with a pen and some dirty pages strewn together. If you have any self respect, and or have at least a modicum of taste, stay away from this horror

I really like this show. I agree with many of the other reviews saying that the acting is cheesy but this show makes me laugh so hard. I really enjoy it... I am a 27 year old so I think that says something.I do think the theme of the show is interesting and different from other shows. Yes it is KINDA like Power Rangers but it is fun and unique in its own right. I also think the directing and editing is good because the way they use camera angles to put us in the action is very neat.All and all, this show is for children so how an adult feels is probably not all that important to the network....I would recommend this show.

This show is not as bad as some people think. The idea of characters from a computer game appearing in reality is not a new idea but they have created a decent story on how it happened (sort of). This show has a guild who play together who turn out to be a nerd,bad boy and jock showing that many different types of people play these games which makes a change from it only being the nerdy kids. People have said that the weapons look stupid but they are supposed to look like the ones from the game so i do not know what they expected. This first episode (pilot film) sets up the story well has some lines that game players will recognise and has enough action to keep young kids spellbound. All in all i enjoyed the show and hope it does continue as there is such a wealth of online material they could use (i wonder how long it would be before Chuck Norris is mentioned lol).
