When Tank is ahead and could win the race for him, Brad just activates another cheat. He also has no genuine loyalty towards his Gamma members. He usually gets what he wants, but in the rare instances where his silver tongue fails him, he may, if pressed, lose his cool and reveal his crueler side.īy the film's climax, Bradley is so obsessed with winning the X-Games that he becomes perfectly willing to severely injure or even kill his opponents to ensure his victory. When he wants something, he will try the diplomatic approach first, being an incredibly smooth talker able to butter up those he wishes to manipulate to his whim. Few know of his true behavior, as he has garnered much popularity and respect over the course of his college career, recognized by all on campus as a sports celebrity. Nonetheless, he also has the cunning wits and manipulative skills to keep everything and himself in check. He is also an underhanded cheater, sabotaging his opponents' equipment both before and during sporting events. Though his outward appearance presents an air of charm, charisma, and sophistication, Bradley's true nature is best described as self-centered, vain, rude, egotistical, and extremely arrogant, considering only himself a winner while viewing everyone else as losers. He accepts only the most skilled competitors for his team, excluding all others whom he dubs "clowns" or "losers". He is a selfish athlete, as he cares only for his own victory, no matter who gets left behind (or possibly even killed) in his drive to win. He is the leader of the Gamma Mu Mu school fraternity at the State college, and the five-time College X-Games "king". All in all, a bland and disappointing follow-up to a very enjoyable film.Max, being called "Brad", anyone quitting the Gammas Bradley Uppercrust III is the main antagonist of An Extremely Goofy Movie. When it does happen, it is never more than amusing, and at worst some parts come across as rather mean-spirited. The humour does have its amusing moments, such as Max's shocked reaction in one scene and a few parts to do with Goofy, but it is not enough. The writing and humour are also not as strong. And like others have said, this movie feels very contradictory in comparison, not just with Roxann but I don't think I ever saw Max behave the way he did here. The story is a let down here, it is predictable and rather ordinary with a number of disconnected moments. They are either underdeveloped or fall into the stereotypical category. The other characters I cared little for either. Also there were numerous points in the movie where I got really frustrated with him. He is not as easy to relate to and he was a bit of a bore. While I liked Goofy, I actually felt somewhat indifferent towards Max. The absence of Roxann is notable too, that was a pivotal point of A Goofy Movie and what made it so heart-warming and realistic. Goofy and Max's relationship here is very awkward and sometimes uncomfortable to watch, I actually felt sorry for Goofy more than I did for Max which didn't happen in A Goofy Movie, then I cared for them both. The film is too short I think, so some relationships and the story and script are not as well thought out this time around. However, An Extremely Goofy Movie lacks the heart and magic of A Goofy Movie. The film also moves at a good pace, while the soundtrack while not as catchy or as touching is worth the listen. The animation is good enough, it is colourful and at least tolerable to look at. Plus Goofy provides the most amusing moments, but he isn't as funny admittedly here. The voice acting is very well done though, both Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden capture Goofy and Max perfectly. An Extremely Goofy Movie does have its moments, but while A Goofy Movie is very good in my book, this is just so-so. I really liked A Goofy Movie, it is not my favourite Disney movie, but it was charming, funny and touching with some great music and a sweet story.
