DVD Reviews of Samurai Jack - Season 3

DVD Review: Just keeps getting better
Summary: 5 Stars

I am blow away by how much better the episodes keep getting, I was so excited when I got it I went back and watched the first two seasons. I really how the creator of the show makes more cartoons in the future.

DVD Review: As Good As It Gets
Summary: 5 Stars

Samurai Jack season 3 is as good as the previous two seasons. Especially with the two part origin story of Aku titled "Birth Of Evil". This is a great DVD set with all the action and adventure one would expect from this great cartoon show. Once again nothing is compromised in originality in this set. The extras are OK, but I would always love more. Certainly a must have for any fan of this show, or cartoon/action shows in general.

DVD Review: Samurai Jack Season 3: The Gold of SJ.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my favorite season of Samurai Jack. It just has the best episodes on it. Not one is boring at all. And it has it's best episodes ever made, such as "Jack and The Haunted House," "Jack and The Zombies," and "Jack and The Rave." But all of these episodes are just really amazing. Especially "Birth of Evil: Part 1 & 2" as we learn how Aku came into existence. I cannot say how great this season is. It's more dark, better action, and the art is at its best. Especially in the haunted house episode. I love the big fight sequence in that episode. Anyways, this, IMO, is the best SJ season. Definitely recommended. 100/5 stars.

DVD Review: son really likes it
Summary: 4 Stars

my son likes these, some of them are pretty neat for me to sit and watch with him too. my son is 16 and he's liked samari jack since it's been out.

DVD Review: I have a bad feeling about this...
Summary: 5 Stars

The Third Season of Samurai Jack is full of action, adventure, humor and themes of friendship and courage. A well balanced season that really shows off the skill and craft of the writers, artists and other people behind the show. For example, in episode 39 where Jack is being chased on an old fashion Western-Style train by two bounty hunters Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey make a brief appearance as passengers. Also, the male bounty hunter's voice is done by John DiMaggio. The same actor who did Bender on Futurama!
And episode 30, in a graveyard, reminds me very much of the Evil Dead movies, right down to a spirit screaming - I will eat your soul! And does just that when it takes over his sword. The best episodes, The Birth of Evil Part One and Two, also have commentary. The show really reaches new heights yet also still keeps the basics of Jack helping the helpless, fight evil and trying to find a way back to his own time and place.

Description of Samurai Jack - Season 3

From Genndy Tartakovsky creator of Star Wars: Clone Wars comes the tale of a young samurai cast far into the future by the evil shape-shifting wizard Aku. Join Samurai Jack on his quest to return to the past and undo the destruction that Aku has wrought upon the land. With award-winning artwork and action-packed plots the journeys of Samurai Jack are a must for any fan's collection.Running Time: 296 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC:?053939747324 Manufacturer No:?T7473

Series creator Genndy Tartakovsky has said, "The third season is always the toughest in television production," but episodes 27 through 39 of Samurai Jack show no signs of flagging imagination. To the contrary, the Season 3 collection includes some of Jack's best adventures. In the outrageous episode 28, Aku turns teenagers into destructive zombies with rock music. Incongruously clad in hip-hop threads, Jack crashes a rave and defeats the sinister DJ in a wonderfully anachronistic mixture of break-dancing and martial arts kata. Tartakovsky and his artists won a well-deserved Emmy for the two-part "Birth of Evil," that traces the origins of Aku to a primordial, destructive cloud that Odin, Rama, and Ra destroyed. The same gods forged Jack's enchanted sword from human righteousness. The more dramatic stories are balanced against sillier tales: in episode 27, Jack gets turned into a chicken by an irritable wizard, and in episode 33, he has to deal with giant blue teddy bear-like creature, who has an unexpectedly nasty side.

The extras include storyboard artist/martial artist Brian Andrews explaining how the crew stylized Chinese Whu Shu and Wing Chun techniques for Jack's combat moves, a gallery of preliminary sketches, and a commentary on "Birth of Evil." It all adds up to a winning package. (Unrated, suitable for ages 10 and older: stylized violence, minor gross humor, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
