Toby D This isn't an entertainment/story film, so if that's what you're after, don't waste your time. I fully understand the low ratings from many. I'm not normally a fan of 'artsy' films, they frequently feel like being weird for the sake of it, but Mad God was an experience and I can't remember the last time a film stuck with me weeks after watching it. You'll get what you put into it. It's a film best viewed alone, without distractions. Oh and the audio is almost entirely phenominal. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Sean P I did enjoy watching this, though I find it hard to recommend to people, much less the general audience. This film seemed to me to be a visual representation of the text shown at the beginning. The visuals, the mood, the (somewhat barely discernable) plotline, they all feed into what was shown in the beginning. It created an experience I mostly enjoyed, giving me something I've never seen before, yet it may come across as just all style and no substance to some watchers, with, again, a barely discernable plot, almost no dialogue throughout the entire film, and no real characters. The film doesn't seem to want to present itself traditionally in most ways, which adds to its' uniqueness, yet also could make it seem unfocused or incomplete. Although what I am about to say may sound irrational, if one was interested in checking it out, don't go into it expecting what you know to be a movie. It's not meant to be seen that way, yet I still think it needs to be seen, if you have the stomach for its gory visuals, of course. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Ricardo d A parte visual, fotografia e efeitos visuais e sonoros são ótimos. Temos uma mistura de estilos de animações misturados com cenas reais. Uma piração que parece sair de uma mente drogada. Nada faz sentido até os minutos finais. Mas, talvez isso tenha feito eu não dar uma melhor nota, pois o roteiro torna cansativo o suspense de tentarmos entender o que todas aquelas cenas significam. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Ashley H A visual treat. Watch during a movie marathon Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review James A A bizarre, barely connected stream of creepy visuals that lacks an obvious purpose of meaning. It's an art piece. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review DanTheMan 2 An apocalyptic nightmare of the highest order, I've never been more annoyed at myself for sleeping on a film until viewing Mad God, equal parts evocative as it is disturbing, the film is more than just an impressive technical feat, it's a sheer artistry come to life. An exquisitely imagined excretion that is revelatory, revolting and cruel. Lurking beneath the steampunk slime and gothic murk is a decidedly exhilarating exercise in visceral, boisterously unrestrained creativity. Phil Tippett has always been a master of his craft, so seeing his nearly 30-year-long passion project finally come to fruition is truly special, it's all been constructed in the most tenaciously grotesque way possible, one that has us in the palm of Tippett's masterful hands for the full 85 minutes giving us an unflinching tour through the darkest recesses of his mind. The combination of completely dialogue-free world-building and an outstanding musical score by Dan Wool creates a playfully morbid descent through a truly demented hellscape. Visceral, grungy and often surreal, the film boasts an impassioned story tackling themes of creation, exploitation and destruction; it might not make any literal statements but it all comes from a director with a lot to say about the world we occupy. A painstaking work of art brought into being through passion and sheer force of will, Mad God has moments of lunacy, instances of genius and plenty to fuel future bad dreams; horrifically grotesque but also beautiful in the most disturbed way imaginable. It doesn't show the consequences of a god who casts a deluge of misery on its followers. It shows a set of beings who would rather see others chewing up darkness without being able to swallow it. There’s a sick beauty in all the madness, one you'll find yourself unable to tear yourself away from. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
