    GamerTab That was an excellent one.

    Freaktana A Major Disappointment
    SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
    SciBry 'Mighty Max' was a surprisingly well-made and, though based on a quaintly narrow concept, very well written and animated journey. Max, the young 'Cap Bearer' is accidently and unwantedly bestowed with the age-old responsibilities of protecting Earth from the diabolical Skullmaster and his army of minions who try desperately to emerge from the planet's depths [The Skullmaster yearns for the cap so he can gain ultimate control and mobility] while the boy just wants to maintain a normal life. Supporting characters like the ancient, wise retrospectively out-of-date], owl, Virgil and sworn bodyguard, Norman, give Max's naive quest against the Skullmaster both a chance and comedic action as each episode begins with a multitude of interesting ways for summoning Max to his current mission [i.e. Virigil slipping the message into nearby objects and such - unexpectedly interrupting his fun times. I recommend, though I have yet to find it in local syndication, that if this well-done program becomes available again, to give it an unobjective chance and stick around for the finale which makes the whole program complete in a spectacular finish. It's not just another 'kid's show,' but rather another classic example of good sci-fi production subjected to stereotypical myths.
    Op_Prime This show was not one of those not funny and lame shows, Mighty Max did not have the best animation, but the writing was excellent. Far above that of most children shows. It was great from start to finish. I really like the series finale, taking the show back to the beginning.
    Chad K. I've found that as I've grown older I've become more fond of animation as I've come to appreciate it in my career. As a result, I've found that some cartoons stand out among others as being exceptional. Mighty Max is one of them. The show was intriguing, well told, and ended in such a unique way its inspirationally.The story was about destiny, and the power of good over evil. It spanned every aspect of adventure and bravery imaginable, and it reaffirmed the strength of the inner heart. No story could have communicated such a complex message so simply. If the show is ever made available to you, I suggest you give it a look. Share it with your children. Listen to the messages. Enjoy the action. This is entertainment at its absolute best.
    Whelk-2 I loved this series, having caught it on afternoon TV. The pacing was taut, the story lines held together, and the characters were likeable. Also good were the character designs, both for the protagonists and the villains. I only regret that this series only lasted a season. If it comes on the Cartoon Network I highly recommend it.
