Exactly my point, and exactly what I thought about both this movie and Ted.
I thought Ted was pretty good. Of course it should be noted that out of the group of people I watched it with, I was the only one who had actually seen the 80's Flash Gordon movie (multiple times in fact, partly for the Queen soundtrack)
Ted was actually good, worth a watch at least but I think it's because while still very "family guy humor" it was reigned in due to being the first movie.
~a horrific, dark simulacrum that glares balefully at us, with evil intent.
Can't stand family guy, and never really understood why I didn't like it until Cartman explained it to me.
