    TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
    Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
    Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
    Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
    Laura_Kin Tick fan since first print copy and I was very happy for casting- Warburton was PERFECT for this role!! sad it was short lived!
    bandito Tick costume was better.Stories are quirkier.different style of episode.good soundtrack.Should have lasted much longer, would fare better now, truly ahead of its time .
    SnoopyStyle This is an alternate world where superheroes are common place. They walk around like regular folks except some are more successful than others. The Tick (Patrick Warburton) is a bona fide idiot. He is extremely strong, but he can't think his way out of a paper bag. Arthur (David Burke) is The Tick's best friend. Captain Liberty (Liz Vassey) is hot but just wants to be more than a couple of boobs. Batmanuel (Nestor Carbonell) is Latino. The four are the less successful ones.It had a lot of fun poking at the idea of a superhero. There's some good originality. But it was very odd for network TV, and the laughs were uneven. Nine Episodes were all that could be expected. Warburton is perfect for the role.
    sunlitone If you haven't seen this show, you NEED to! If you like really clever, funny banter between characters, The Tick is packed with it. It's a shame that this show didn't go any farther because the writing is brilliant. Definitely ranks up there with MST3000 or Upright Citizens Brigade--even MXC. Patrick Warburton does an awesome job at playing The Tick. As do the other characters involved. If you read the memorable quotes, you can get a glimpse into the minds of the characters themselves, but it's much better to see the characters acting out their craziness. It's HILARIOUS...A MUST SEE for people who know what "true" comedy is.
