My thoughts exactly! Great minds think alike.

Welcome to the internet? I suggest you check out the IMDB forums if you're looking to discuss this with the target audience. I kid, I kid.

You are right. And I may never understand the misunderstanding of common movie-going folk among us film buffs.

They should have made it a Pixar cartoon.

If your kids ask you to go see this movie, you'd say no simply because you don't like it? I'd understand if it's because it's inappropriate or does not convey the same values as yours but just because you think it's not a good movie? That's pretty cruel. It shows that you do not have kids.

All the idiotic brainnumbing special effects/lame sitcom crap on the big and little screens, and Underdog gets the vitriol? From the trailer, I couldn't tell much, except that my boy would probably like it (it's a flying superhero dog! What's for a kid not to like?). Barring some discovery of content I don't want him to see in it, once he finds out about it he'll probably want to see it, and depending upon the tone of the film (ie, not too serious), I could enjoy it as well.
Those who are saying it's dumb, do you know more about it than the trailer? Or is it 'dumb' simply because it's a liveaction version of a cartoon? If so, surely liveaction versions of comic books are dumb as well, if not dumber, at least in cartoons there's motion.
I'd rather take my son to see this (based on what little I know about it) than the buy-em-all Pokemon movies, or to re-see the propagandic drek that was Happy Feet.
I'm not denying that it *could* be a dumb movie, or a bad one, like Garfield apparently was, depending on how they treat it, just arguing that it ain't necessarily so.
Although I do seem to remember Underdog as not being a "super" superhero as well, but it's been decades since I've seen an Underdog cartoon.

I wonder how much ass Peter Dinklage is getting nowadays.

"There's no need to fear..." oh who am I kidding? This film is downright scary!
