Solitary Man

The Critic reviews Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed while trying to solve a similar mystery like Psych despite the culprit obviously being returning antagonist Roger. Though he says it's better than the first, as the sets are cool, some scenes are funny, the satire and jokes try harder and gives credit for including some of the iconic monsters from the cartoons, the film is ruined by the effects , delivery of the comedy, direction , sound effects and jokes that are inappropriate for kids and are likely making them dumber. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that the villain's identity is too obvious, leading to too many fake-outs, a weak final twist and altogether a lack of a good mystery, which is the ultimate insult to the show and a post-credits scene which is just a cheat code for the tie-in game.

However, he gives credit to Natalie Cole's singing and does considers the rapping Cheshire Cat as an enjoyable character; but at the same time acknowledges this may be due to everything else in the film being so uninteresting.

The Critic reviews The Magic Voyage . Hating both the English dubbed and original German versions, he criticizes the lazy animation style, obnoxious characters, overabundance of dialogue, the fairy-tale plot, misconstruing of real-life historical events on which the premise was based, and sub-par dubbing, particularly of Dom DeLuise as Christopher Columbus. Special criticism is reserved for the complete lack of any quiet or still moments in the film and a scene where Christopher Columbus pulls a spyglass out of his groin.

Channel Awesome tag: Beavis: "Boi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oing!"

The Critic reviews The Langoliers . Despite enjoying some of the film's over-the-top performances and suspenseful plot, he criticizes the payoff, special effects, and clichéd characters that constantly seem to be in all of Stephen King's stories.

Channel Awesome tag: Bronson Pinchot as Craig Toomey: "Scaring the little GIRL!? LADY!"

The Critic reviews Pixels . It opens with Doug singing "The Adam Sandler Song", a song about his career and asking why he is not as popular as he once was. The lyrics mention that he was loved on Saturday Night Live, that his films were hit-and-miss, that he did a few serious films but he would rather stick to crappy plots that were popular back in 1998, and that he only makes movies to get Rob Schneider work . The song ends with a guy in the audience telling him that his audience has grown up but he has not and that he needs to start trying harder instead of using his films to go on vacation. Unfortunately Doug as Sandler takes it as a sign to be more predictable, more unfunny, and more racially insensitive, asking Rob Schneider if he could do redface and Schneider replied that he could.

Like the Jurassic World review, the review for Pixels has scenes acted out by Malcolm, Tamara, Doug, and other cast members since the film was in theaters at the time. The Critic criticizes the film for its dialogue , emotions of the characters, and the cast themselves . He also takes time to address the controversy surrounding the story for ripping off a Futurama episode, but addresses that other films have done it before and that it only matters what they do with the story. However, he offers mild praise to the visual effects and for a few jokes that were actually funny. Special criticism is reserved for the second half of the movie, especially the bits with the final battle and the romance between Josh Gad's character and a video game character. In the end, the Critic says that while the film is bad, it is not the worst Sandler film of all time, and he agrees with audiences that there have been so many bad Sandler films recently that enough is enough, and he wants Sandler to go back to his roots instead of being on autopilot.

The Critic attempts to hide from Linkara at Kami-Con 4 held in Alabama, but is found nonetheless so the Critic gives in. Overall, they personally say that the movie is the weakest Star Trek film, whereas the other odd-numbered films at the very least had one or two memorable moments. They criticize the continuity errors with the show, plot, hypocritical characters , the bland Ba'ku woman , dialogue, jokes, uninteresting villains, CGI, standard action scenes, and even nativism. At the end, the Critic gives a brief review of Star Trek: Nemesis , because it broke the cycle of the Trek films with the odd numbers receiving the criticism and the even numbers receiving the praise, saying that despite there being too much action for Star Trek standards and that the storytelling aspect could have been a little bit better, it is not as bad as people say it is, and he considers it enjoyable and fun to watch .

In his annual Stephen King film review, the Critic reviews Children of the Corn . While he praises Isaac as being a entertaining villain and the performances of the child actors, the Critic criticizes the two main characters′ anti-religious stance, the members of the cult being weak, such as being defeated when the main character just shoves them, and corn being the scare factor of the movie. Special criticism is for the anti-climatic ending, in which the monster of the corn field is depicted as an explosion cloud with a face, and for the movie abruptly ending with a cult member girl being defeated by getting shoved in a car.

Throughout the review, comedy musician brentalfloss and comedian Uncle Yo try to snap the Critic out of his comatose state, going so far as to use his body as a puppet to fool the audience at a Q&A panel.

The Critic begins Star Trek Month by reviewing Star Trek: The Motion Picture with an introduction and a balanced opinion of the franchise and notifying that the films with the odd numbers received the criticism while the films with the even numbers received the praise. He states that while the ideas are interesting and the effects are good for the time, most of the new characters are underdeveloped and boring, the pacing is painfully slow , its attempt at capitalizing on the cult following of 2001: A Space Odyssey as an out-of-body experience was fairly out-of-place in something Star Trek related, and the film itself is very boring to watch, agreeing that he can see why the film is often called the "Slow Motion Picture".

Already finding the song the movie's based on to be obnoxious, he criticizes it for making the titular grandma too attractive, as well as the plot, confusing setting, characters, poor and sometimes dirty humor , awful segues into badly written songs, and the final act for using too many courtroom terms. He does admit that it isn't an entirely horrible movie, more incredibly awkward. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that the grandma's store is worth millions, which makes both her and the grandson seem awful, as they don't want to sell it, despite the money undoubtedly being capable of helping many.

Unlike previous years, he starts out calm as he's wearing a "chill pill patch" and doesn't want to scare his fans. However, Tamara, insisting that he should feel free to celebrate how he pleases, removes the patch, causing a now-insane Critic to sing a heavy metal song, "I F***ing Love Christmas."

He makes fun of the film for its cartoonish plot, confusing ending, constant rising shots, lackluster CGI, Bruce Payne's dialogue and his character's unexplained blue lipstick, Marlon Wayans' character being annoying, blantant rip-offs of scenes from Indiana Jones, and poor acting . However, he finds the film enjoyable due to being so badly executed, and praises Marlon Wayans' character being killed in the film, calling it "incredibly satisfying" due to him being the most annoying character in the film.

Tim finds out, but Lee perusades him it is an action film, causing him to ask for a walk-in part or he'll tell Lucy. He finds out and leaves, after which the Male leaves, causing the Director to want Lee to play the part. Lucy arrives home while Lee is hanging upside down.

The remake wins over the original, 4-1, although the Critic does not believe this score represents his opinion well, declaring both versions to be great movies that deserves recognition. However, he leans towards the remake when comparing the two of them, finding it to be more complex and grittier and give off a much larger impact than the original.

The Critic continues Shyamalan Month with a review of The Happening . He states that the film is on the same level of a drama film so bad, that it could be considered an unintentional comedy, criticizing the lack of emotion from the actors, especially Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel, cheesy and ridiculous writing and dialogue, cinematography, and the confusing ending. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that the plot twist is revealed far too early, taking away any mystery and tension. Ultimately, he concludes that if the movie is looked at as a comedy, it can be a very entertaining movie.

Channel Awesome Tag: Jeremy Strong as Private Auster: "Cheese and crackers!"

After a parody of Batman Returns, where like Catwoman the Critic returns home in a daze and goes on a violent rampage on his house's objects, it is revealed that rage was caused by the Critic accepting to review Foodfight! following incessant requests by his fanbase. Agreeing to do so upon realizing his review could jumpstart it into popularity, he declares it not only the worst animated movie he has ever seen, but also one of the worst movies he's ever reviewed, heavily panning the massive amount of product placement, ridiculous and inconsistent plot, horrible and often frightening animation that enters the uncanny valley, hideous racial stereotypes, dreadful puns and horrible sexual innuendos, the latter of which he deems unfit for what is supposedly a film for children. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that the product mascots shown are practically background characters in their own film and half of them are bitter, unflattering parodies of the ones the producers could not afford, as well as the fact that the film's budget was apparently $65 million, which baffles him considering the outcome, and how they wasted it on the final product.

Channel Awesome Tag: Christopher Lloyd as Mr. Clipboard: "Survival of the fittest, Leonard."

The Critic reviews Son of the Mask after finding a supernatural DVD copy in a trash can where it was thrown away by the Devil's wife Kim Kardashian . He heavily criticizes the slapstick, acting, writing, jokes, CGI effects , the overuse of wide angle shots, and the absence of Jim Carrey from the first film. Special criticism is reserved for the frightening imagery that is more likely to scare young children than entertain. The only aspect he praises is the car used by Kennedy and his wife character near the climax of the movie to chase after Loki and the baby.

Lucy tells Lee that she is going for a job interview for an important and well-paid position, and implies that if she gets the job she will spend a lot less time in the flat with him. After she leaves for the interview, Toby tells Lee that Lucy is actually meeting his cousin Carl, whom she has been getting serious with on social media for several months. He speculates why Lucy may not have told Lee about Carl, causing Lee to affirm his feelings toward her. Toby offers to text Carl and ask him to back off but only agrees to dissuade Carl if Lee actually intends to act on his feelings. Lee appears ready, but gets cold feet at the idea of marriage and kids, eventually telling Toby to tell Carl to go ahead with his plan to invite Lucy to Naples. Lucy returns, saying that the restaurant are very interested in her and have invited her to Naples to finalise the deal. On the spur of the moment, Lee admits to Lucy that he is in love with her and asks her to marry him, and a delighted Lucy accepts. However, when the restaurant's female manager arrives to return a contract Lucy had left behind, Toby admits that it had always been a business meeting, and that he had made Carl up in order to give Lee an incentive to act on his feelings for Lucy, which had been obvious to everyone for ages.

The Rise and Fall of DDT

The Critic continues Nicolas Cage Month by reviewing The Wicker Man . He considers the film hilariously bad, criticizing the overall acting and story, the implied misandry of the island's inhabitants, and the fact that the film relies on poor attempts at scares to make up for those flaws, particularly the ongoing scenes of Cage's character having visions of a truck hitting a little girl like in the opening. Special criticism is reserved for the complete incompetence of Cage's character and how he does not seem to realize that something is wrong with the island. However, he does admit to finding a scene where Cage punches a woman out cold while wearing a bear suit unintentionally hilarious.

Throughout the review, the Critic is stalked by Tamara, who keeps referring to the film as her favorite of all time. At the end, she and Malcolm Ray capture the Critic, and force him to talk about the infamous bee torture scene from the film's unrated cut, which he initially refuses to address. The Critic eventually claims that the only reason the scene could be enjoyable is because of Cage's over-the-top performance, which makes the scene much more memorable than possibly any other scene from any of his movies. After stopping Tamara from trying to force The Cinema Snob and Spoony to talk about the scene at a bar, the Critic invites her to work with him, which she accepts.

As Doug had ranked the film as the #1 movie he hates that seemingly everyone else loves, the others try to convince the Critic that Moulin Rouge! lives up to its reception, but he absolutely hates it, criticizing the lack of original music, fast-paced editing, fairytale romance, musical numbers, acting, plot holes, repetitive themes, and writing . As the review progresses, brentalfloss and the Chick cave in and reveal their own frustrations about the film, but by the end, they admit that they think of it as a guilty pleasure, to which the Critic understands where they are coming from.

He called it his favorite review out of the "Top 11 Nostalgia Critic Episodes", and put the film at #9 on his "Worst Movies Nostalgia Critic's Reviewed" list. An instrumental version of the episode's parody of "The Show Must Go On", "The Review Must Go On", would become the show's theme song in 2013.

The Critic concludes Nicolas Cage Month by reviewing Ghost Rider . He feels that the premise has a lot of potential and finds the scenes with Ghost Rider himself to be quite awesome, but is disappointed to find that Cage's performance is a lot more downplayed than usual, feeling that the film would have been better if he had been over the top. He also feels that the potential is ruined by the script, acting , romance, cartoonish moments and villains. Special criticism is reserved for the ruining of an awesome scene where the two riders journey across the desert by having Elliot leave just before the final battle, claiming that he used the last of his powers in the ride, when he could have saved it for the battle. The Critic ultimately lays the blame for the film solely at the feet of writer-director Mark Steven Johnson, who he says should never have been allowed near another superhero movie after Daredevil .

Meanwhile, Tim crashes his car after driving through a red light, and Lee persuades him to pretend the light was green so that he can claim insurance, volunteering himself as a witness. When a journalist, Dawn , turns up to interview Lee, she is expecting to meet a man in a wheelchair, as Lee accidentally ticked the wrong box. Lee claims that Tim is his brother, and threatens to pull out of the insurance scam if Tim does not go along with it. The con also involves pretending that Daisy has amnesia. All goes well until Lucy arrives home, and Lee pretends that she is their sister and has Tourette Syndrome. Lucy is furious, but grudgingly goes along with it. However, before Dawn leaves, Lucy insists on playing a game that involves breaking all of Lee's mugs.

The episode ends with him admiring a dance scene involving strippers, requiring his brother, Rob, to come in and wheel him out.

He praises his intelligence and monotone voice, as well as the fact that he can actually read lips while pretending not to hear anything, and that he destroys whoever poses a threat to the mission without second thoughts. However, what makes HAL even more frightening is the fact that he is a direct representation of ″efficiency at any cost″, which is something that mankind prides. This means, according to the Critic, that mankind should be blamed for HAL′s actions, since we designed him to have artificial intelligence and to make conclusions on his own, and that is what makes him scary.

At the end of the video, the Critic announces his next review will be of the miniseries It, since he acknowledges that many people watching this video are wondering why he didn′t put Tim Curry from said miniseries.

The Nostalgia Critic reviews Jem and the Holograms . Even though he admits that the film is kinda funny for being a sellout, he nonetheless considers it to be one of the most insulting film adaptations ever, heavily panning the generic plot and characters, writing, the addition of random YouTube videos, hypocritical message about not being a corporate sellout in a film that he claims is exactly that, and complete lack of anything resembling the original cartoon of the same name. Special criticism is reserved for footage of fans of the show submitted through Tumblr during the production of the movie being edited so it looks like they're praising the film, while not even adequately covering up what they're really talking about .
Channel Awesome Tag: Ryan Hansen as Stephen the guard: "Nolan, Robinson, check this out. It's a squirrel."

The Critic reviews It , calling it one of the best examples of all the stereotypes and clichés done in each of King′s stories ; this includes the plotholes, melodrama and characters who are cruel for no reason. In addition, he also bashes the acting of the adults and overuse of flashbacks. However, he does praise the acting of the children and Tim Curry, but with that also questions why others find Curry′s performance so frightening, due to his silly nature as well as never harming the main characters despite having numerous chances to do so. Special criticism is reserved for ″It″′s true form at the end of the film, being a massive, spider-like creature, which he lambasts due to its ridiculous design, and too cartoonish to be scary.

Felix the Cat: The Movie

The Critic reluctantly reviews one of the worst box office disasters of all time, The Adventures of Pluto Nash , after incorrectly assuming no one would be interested in watching a review of it, and so puts as little effort into the review as the filmmakers put into the film. He calls it a fascinating kind of failure, as it's a comedy that's not even trying to be funny, heavily panning the dull plot, acting, comedy, effects and setting, as well as the lack of focus on any space adventure aspects or originality and the fact that it takes itself far too seriously considering the goofy title, even comparing it to fellow infamous space-themed flop Mars Needs Moms. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that Rosario Dawson is cast as a character whose appearance the script constantly pokes fun at. However, he does give Dawson credit for actually putting effort into her performance and mentions that there is one funny scene. During and at the end of the review, the Critic hints that his next review will be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with Angry Joe.

The Critic reviews Wild Wild West . He questions the sense behind adapting a thirty year old T.V. show that few likely remember, and considers the film a complete mess, heavily panning the writing, acting , comedy, pacing, directing, effects, lack of chemistry between characters, the jarring tone shifts, the fact that it doesn't seem to know what kind of movie it is, and the overall hollow feeling throughout. Special criticism is reserved for the sexual jokes such as a scene in which Smith and Kline are making comments about their breasts in front of an old man and a scene that goes immediately from a discussion about a brutal massacre to jokes about Hayek's rear.

Major note is given regarding their lack of knowledge as to how to pronounce Tone Loc, voice of Pee-Wee. The fact that Pee-Wee, being an infant, is voiced by an adult and given a mature personality is also criticized.

In the end, he feels that it would have been better as a video game instead of a movie.

The Critic reviews Mamma Mia! , much to the irritation of Rob, Malcolm, and Tamara, who refuse to take part in the review. After insisting that it is possible to make a good chick flick , he considers it a prime example of how bad chick flicks can get, heavily panning the plethora of chick flick clichés, lack of story and character development, bad singing performances and large number of song and dance numbers that have little to nothing to do with the story, even going so far as to say that Moulin Rouge! is a superior film for actually tying in the songs to the story the movie was telling. Special criticism is reserved for the film′s insulting portrayal of and overall attitude towards women. The only major positives he notes are the cinematography and the scenes between Amanda Seyfried′s character and her three possible fathers , though he adds that the latter actually illustrates the movie′s main problem, as they′re used to pad out the gaps between musical numbers instead of the other way around. After the review, the Critic finds everyone outside and learns that they′re so convinced that no one will ever watch the review, and that they convince him to say something awful to the fans, only for his words to result in all of them being brutally beaten.

Note: Doug Walker posted on his Facebook that his brother said that Mamma Mia! is one of the top 3 worst movies they′ve ever reviewed for the Nostalgia Critic, putting it close to The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.

The Critic reviews the first installment of The Matrix to prove to its fan base, represented by Agent Schmuck , that it is not as good as they say. Though he acknowledges that it has some good ideas and action, he feels that some of the effects and fashion haven't aged well and criticizes the plot holes, acting, characters, obvious symbolism, pacing and derivative elements. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that, in reality, the machines wouldn't need the Matrix at all if they're just using humans for power. However, he gives credit to the film for the impact it made on cinema.

During the review, he's saved from Agent Schmuck by Malcolmus and Tamity , members of a resistance who don't like the film, and joins them in the end.

The Critic reviews The Lorax while breaking into the headquarters of the focus group experts from the Cat in the Hat review, lecturing them on the mistakes made by the film. Though he admits it is not as bad as The Grinch or The Cat in the Hat and praises the animation and a touching moment in which the Lorax and the animals mourn the loss of a tree, he criticizes the complete lack of loyalty to the story, spirit and message of the original book, generic characters , poor voice casting , dated pop culture references, and the songs . Special criticism is reserved for the ending for taking away the ambiguity of the book and replacing it with a stock, clichéd climax, conclusion and in-your-face message, which ironically makes it less memorable.

By the review's end, the experts predict that the film has become retro and that all of its fans have returned, only to find the Lorax Mall empty except for one man, who quickly loses interest himself and walks off. When the Critic lambasts their simplification of the story and declares that people will continue to read Seuss's books no matter what, one of the experts reveals himself to be "Black Willy Wonka." He shows the Critic that the fans have gone back to reading the book, and that that was his plan in making this, along with The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat: to make audiences appreciate the books more.

The Critic continues Star Trek Month by reviewing Star Trek Generations . He states that the film is all over the place, with some massive plotholes and very hammy acting, although he does admit that the special effects are great, and thinks that they had potential. Special criticism is reserved for the plot point about Data's malfunctioning "emotion chip" and its delivery, along with the "Lifeforms Song". He ends the review stating ecstatically that Star Trek month is almost over, and thus Linkara will not be able to make a cameo. However, ironically, a title card shows that the next episode will be a crossover review with none other than Linkara.

The Critic reviews the Miramax version of The Thief and the Cobbler . He criticizes the constant use of inner-monologue and narration by Matthew Broderick and Jonathan Winters throughout the film, inconsistent editing, bland songs, and finds the character of the princess blatantly unoriginal. He does, however, praise the creativity and surreal nature of the animation at times. At the end, he goes on to recommend the "Re-Cobbled Cut" of the film instead, as it presents the animation and story with more dignity than the Miramax release.

Birds migrate in search of perpetual summer, sometimes traveling as many as 20,000 miles every year.

Terror In Space
How Babies Get Made
Long before 9/11, a far deadlier, little-known attack from the ocean depths struck our shores, lasting three-and-a-half years and claiming 5,000 lives. Now, famed undersea explorer Bob Ballard, discoverer of the Titanic, investigates the wreck of one of the attack craft, a German submarine that lies at the bottom of the gulf just a few miles off New Orleans. U-166 was part of Operation Drumbeat, a highly successful U-boat operation that caught East Coast cities and shipping almost completely unprepared. With state-of-the-art survey gear Ballard probes the wreck and explores a dramatic mystery in the official story of the sub’s sinking.

This was originally intended to be the series finale, before Doug Walker decided to revive The Nostalgia Critic in early 2013.

They feel that, while the original cast has more screentime, they're in too much of the movie, to the point where they take over a lot of times and steal opportunities for development from many of the major characters, like the prince. Conversely, the new cast remain in the supporting role they're supposed to, giving more time to the main characters. Special mention is given to the different treatments of the King and Fairy Godmother.

Twenty-five years ago, NASA launched one of the most ambitious experiments in the history of astronomy: the Hubble Space Telescope. In honor of Hubble's landmark anniversary, NOVA tells the remarkable story of the telescope that forever changed our understanding of the cosmos. But Hubble's early days nearly doomed it to failure: a one-millimeter engineering blunder had turned the billion-dollar telescope into an object of ridicule. It fell to five heroic astronauts in a daring mission to return Hubble to the cutting edge of science. This single telescope has helped astronomers pinpoint the age of the universe, revealed the birthplace of stars and planets, advanced our understanding of dark energy and cosmic expansion, and uncovered black holes lurking at the heart of galaxies. Join NOVA for the story of this magnificent machine and its astonishing discoveries.

Doug Walker released a video titled The Review Must Go On on January 22, 2013, and decided that the Nostalgia Critic must return. It returned on February 5 with a review of The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The show is no longer reviewing films with time restrictions, as the Critic can review any film released during any year (except for films currently in theaters nationwide).

The series moves to a dedicated studio, with two additional cast members and a higher focus on sketches.

Ma no Yama ni Shikumareshi Wana

The Hole in the Sky
Escape! Because Accidents Happen: Car Crash

The Critic reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles alongside his former arch-nemesis, The Angry Video Game Nerd, after learning of a supposed threat to the franchise from Santa Christ. While they both agree that it is not the worst thing related to the franchise, or even the worst live-action Turtles film , they criticize Michael Bay′s involvement, the writing, characters, and overuse of CGI . However, they admit that the acting, while not great, is overall tolerable , are surprised by the lack of the usual Bay trademarks , and acknowledge that it has some enjoyable scenes. Special criticism is reserved for the villain′s motivation being becoming richer than he already is.

During the review, they embark on several quests reminiscent of other Ninja Turtles incarnations: saving April O'Neil from Krang in the original cartoon, saving a dam reminiscent of the NES game, fighting Shredder in a nightclub, being offered an adventure in ancient Japan – which they quickly refuse – and ultimately forming a band, before learning that this was all a plot by Santa Christ to sell toys, as that was what the franchise started out as . This makes them realize that, far from being insulting to the franchise, the film is just another one of many versions, each of which bring something new to the game, though they still insist that it is not good.

The Critic "reviews" Jurassic World , breaking his rule of not making episodes on films currently playing in theaters, in protest to Universal Studios taking down the reviews on their movies from YouTube, including the other Jurassic Park films. Thus Jurassic World is recreated with improv sets, costumes and re-enactments, instead of scenes from the actual movie. He criticizes Vincent D'Onofrio's character, the romance subplot, and the typical stupidity of the human characters . Special criticism is aimed at the appearance of the dinosaurs themselves for looking like a mix of animatronics and CGI, the overall design and name of the Indominus rex, which he states its nothing more than an oversized raptor, and the decision to simply leave the other tourists trapped in a warehouse. However, he heavily praises the appearance of the titular park, the intensity of the pterosaur attack scene, and the final battle between the T. Rex, the Velociraptor and the Indominus , even declaring that all three factors more than make up for the film's flaws. He ultimately concludes that the film is the second-best of the Jurassic Park movies, but given his views of the other sequels, that such a distinction is not all that great, and that it is ultimately up to the individual moviegoers to decide whether or not the film is truly worth watching. He then considers reviewing Fifty Shades of Grey next, though Tamara strongly objects when she realizes that Critic and Malcolm want to have her re-enact scenes from that movie for the review.

Origins: Earth is Born

Jim Jarosz, Rob Walker,

The Critic pays tribute to two of the most beloved television film critics: Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. He also discusses the show after Siskel's death, the Richard Roeper era, claims that successors Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz were "douchebags", and the show as it was before the series ended in 2010 with Michael Phillips and A. O. Scott was slightly better, but still not the same as what the 1986-99 era had to offer.

Making Stuff: Cleaner
In Search of Human Origins, Part Two
Almost a century ago, paleontologists found the first tantalizing hints of a monster even bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex, perhaps the largest predator ever to roam the Earth: spectacular fossil bones from a dinosaur dubbed Spinosaurus. But the fossils were completely destroyed during a World War II Allied bombing raid, leaving only drawings, questions, and a mystery: What was Spinosaurus? Now, the discovery of new bones in a Moroccan cliff face is reopening the investigation into this epic beast. What did it feed on and how? Why did it grow so big? We follow the paleontologists who are reconstructing this terrifying carnivore, revealing a 53-foot-long behemoth with a huge dorsal sail, enormous, scimitar-like claws, and massive jaws tapered toward the front like a crocodile. Bringing together experts in paleontology, geology, climatology and paleobotany, this NOVA/National Geographic special brings to life the lost world over which Spinosaurus reigned more than 65 million years ago.

The Critic lists eleven movie trailers that he thinks are the best at making the audience want to see the movie through its advertising. He acknowledges that WatchMojo.com already did their top ten film trailers and that Alien is the only film to be on both their lists.

Special criticism is reserved for the Canadian PSA of when the sous chef gets into a horrible accident, which the Critic finds it absolutely horrifying compared to the other Canadian PSAs, causing the Critic to finally snap and tell off Canada, calling the nation "sick" for its bad PSAs.

After a commercial for A Troll in Central Park passes, with him criticizing it some more, the Critic is constantly interrupted by Don Bluth himself, who says that he′s waiting to ″see what [he′s] going to do″. At the end of the video, the Critic has had enough of Bluth′s sudden appearances and begs him what to do to make him stop. The video cuts to black with a To Be Continued, suggesting that the thing will be revealed next week.

Special criticism is reserved for every character's inability to clearly pronounce the word "law" properly.

The Critic reviews Chairman of the Board . He finds the movie unfunny, with weird cinematography, ripping-off the plot from the Flintstones movie, predictable jokes, and the constant appearance and disappearance of Raquel Welch. He feels that the only good factor of the film is Larry Miller's performance, and points out that despite his bad performance in this movie, Carrot Top can be very funny with the right material.

The Critic reviews The Lost World: Jurassic Park . He considers it to be a disappointing follow-up to its predecessor, with a forced story filled with plot holes, annoying incompetent characters, and the fact the "heroes" cause the problems in the film. He also mocks Jeff Goldblum's acting, with help from his brother Rob. Later on, in his Jurassic Park 3 review, he labels it as a "shitty sequel" that the original gave birth to.

Channel Awesome tag: Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm : "That's... that's chaos theory."

The Critic is brought to the future by his future self, where seahorses now rule the Earth. He reviews The Room , and considers it so bad that "it truly is one of those movies you have to see to believe"; praising the awful acting , out-of-sequence editing, unbelievable characters , moments with out-of-sync dubbing, horrid dialogue, repetitiveness and the plethora of pointless scenes and plot threads.

Less than a day after being posted, the review was pulled from the website due to a copyright threat from Wiseau Films. Both the Critic's and Lupa's reviews remained on Blip.tv however, and were eventually restored to the site several weeks later.

Walker later called The Room "so bad it's good" during his list of the Top 11 Worst Movies He Has Reviewed and said that it thus cannot be included because he does not get angry when he thinks of it.

The Critic reviews The Garbage Pail Kids Movie . He considers the film to be painful, bashing the film for having no plot or story, terrible characters, unfunny and disgusting humor, a hugely hypocritical delivery of the film's message, and poorly designed puppets. The episode ends with a parody of the final sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the Critic finds older versions of himself and becomes a singing piece of feces . Special criticism is reserved for the scene where the Garbage Pail Kids start singing due to there being no indication of there being a musical and the appearance of the State Home for the Ugly.

When Doug Walker and his brother, Rob, did a commentary on the episode, they stated that Anthony Newley, who played Captain Manzini in the film, was a good actor and if the film was slightly better, he could have saved the film and he was in fact the closest to a positive element they could see in their viewing. They also admitted that Ali Gator was the least obnoxious of the kids.

Later on, Doug Walker placed the film at #1 of the list of the worst movies he reviewed. He detail that he also considers it the worst movie he has ever seen, saying it was doubly frustrating given he was ironically a fan of The Garbage Pail Kids cards. He also admitted to begging his mother to take him to see the film, but she kept him away, which he now greatly thanks her for.

The Critic reviews Catwoman . He criticizes the title character′s backstory, along with mishandling the original character, lack of subtlety, writing, editing and direction. However, he admits that Halle Berry′s performance is not terrible, doing the best with what extremely little she is given. Special criticism is reserved for the incompetence of the characters, and on how Berry′s character starts behaving like a cat after becoming Catwoman.

During the review, the Catwomen Anonymous, including Eartha Kitt , Michelle Pfeiffer , Anne Hathaway and Sean Young , after tying up their counselor , hunt down the Critic to force him to let them star in the review. The Critic manages to dissuade them, but is not able to avoid being attacked by the Berry Catwoman for criticizing the film.

To Live Until You Die: The Work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

The Critic starts off this year′s Nostalgia-ween by reviewing The Shining miniseries . He criticizes the poorly executed monster effects, acting , insufferably slow pace, excessively overlong talking scenes, and lack of any genuine horror, citing that most attempts at scares fall flat and that scenes that could lead to potentially scary moments usually go nowhere. In the end, he considers the Stanley Kubrick version to be vastly superior, as it properly built suspense, created an intense atmosphere and made for a genuinely scary story, with the miniseries′ only advantage being in having the protagonist Jack Torrance better written, acted, and developed, whereas the Kubrick version′s take on the same character was just another typical Jack Nicholson performance.

Throughout the review, the Kubrick version is parodied by having the Critic slowly going insane from boredom like Nicholson′s Torrance and attempting to kill Rachel and Malcolm.

The Critic reviews The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D . Though he considers it touching that director Robert Rodriguez made this in dedication to one of his son′s ideas, he finds it a serious error in judgment for such a great director, criticizing the plot, acting, 3D and visual effects, pointless moments, and insulting message. However, he acknowledges that it has some good ideas and finds the performances of George Lopez and Jacob Davich as the villains hilariously bad. Special criticism is reserved for an effect during the final battle, in which the villain′s head is engorged to a massive size, which scares the Critic so bad that he calls himself twenty minutes in the past to warn him.

After apologizing to the Jewish community for the film being the only one to represent Hanukkah, he declares it to be one of the worst holiday specials of all time and one of the worst films he has ever seen, heavily panning Adam Sandler′s multiple voice performances , unlikable protagonist, Rob Schneider′s racially insensitive performance, juvenile humor common for a Happy Madison film, musical numbers and product placement, which he is disgusted to see actually become characters in the film, and even apologizes to Man of Steel for making fun of its product placement. However, he praises the film′s animation, though he states that it does not fit with the style, does mention one good song and admits that he would have preferred if Whitey's sister replaced the character himself, finding her as "less-annoying" and saying that the voice Sandler uses to play her actually sounds like a different person. Special criticism is reserved for the main character's backstory for being too dark and emotional for a comedy, while doing nothing to make the character more sympathetic.

Best Villains: Animated Film - While he enjoys Christopher Lee as Saruman and is torn by the Black Riders, he prefers the animated version of Sauron because he is never fully shown, therefore making him more mysterious and sinister.

The Critic reviews Masters of the Universe . He criticizes the film's title which lacks "He-Man" in it, numerous homoerotic overtones, Skeletor's portrayal, the subplot of the film involving Julie which he considers depressing, most of the plot having little to do with He-Man, and the moral, which he finds to be very unrealistic.

Seize the Date
Casey accidentally maces Paco, and a disreputable attorney sees an opportunity to make a fortune by suing her and the hospital. Meanwhile, Julie takes over as the new editor of the hospital newsletter; and new father Hank is found napping all over the hospital.

The Critic explains in song why so many people are frustrated with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The Critic reviews Casper . He criticizes the movie's puns, numerous cameo appearances, illogical nature of the plot and nearly excessive use of vulgar language, despite being considered a family movie. However, he admits that the film is certainly not terrible, gives credit to the sets and CG effects, and admits that the filmmakers at least "tried" to put effort into it. It finishes with him chasing an evil Casper, who had been annoying him during the review, throughout a GMX convention in Tennessee while dressed as a Ghostbuster. Fellow reviewer Linkara makes a cameo as one of the convention attendees who pursue Casper alongside the Critic.

The Critic reviews My Pet Monster . He mocks the possible homosexual crush one of the kids have with their friend and criticizes the fact that the monster in the movie looks nothing like the one on the VHS case , as well as the characters, lazily written plot and shockingly scary ending. The episode ends with the Critic calling the director of the film to ask him what he was thinking when he made the movie. The director criticizes what the Critic does, and the episode ends on a cliffhanger, with him reassessing his view on life, thinking whether or not to continue reviewing films.

Drop Dead Fred

The Critic reviews The Grinch entirely in rhyme reminiscent of the original television special. He questions why the live-action film needed to be made, let alone gain a cult following, calling the original 1966 special a classic while criticizing Jim Carrey's performance , sets, camera work, Donald Peterman's muted colors and gloomy cinematography, attempts at drama that he feels weakens the moral to an extent, jokes and the Whos being depicted as worse characters than the Grinch himself. However, he praises the Grinch's makeup, the third act's loyalty to the book and notes one good joke . Special criticism is reserved for a scene where the Grinch makes Whoville's sleeping mayor kiss his dog's rear. In the end, he looks at the comments to see if anyone hated the movie and realizes he cannot change other people's opinions, but he quickly dismisses it and claims he's right.

Calling it ″a Disney version of Indiana Jones″, he praises the story, action scenes and characters, especially Jennifer Connelly.

8. The Prince of Egypt

Doug Walker, Dante Basco, Malcolm Ray, Tamara Chambers

The Critic reviews Mr. Magoo . Already disliking the cartoon on which it was based, he criticizes the blindness-derived humor as being too one-note, the apparent violation of dead animals, Jennifer Garner's presence, the offensive ethnic stereotypes, Leslie Nielsen's performance, and attempts at slapstick that he actually finds dangerous. However, he does give credit to some creative stunts, and believes that Ernie Hudson is the only actor of note. Special criticism is reserved for a statement closing of the film saying it did not mean to offend the visually-impaired, which he finds hypocritical given the subject matter of the film and the fact the writing is in tiny letters, which the visually impaired would probably not be able to read anyway.

Channel Awesome Tag: Stephen Tobolowsky as Chuck Stupak: "No one has ever been able to finger her."

He praises its laid-back atmosphere and Angelica's memorably evil character, but mentions some questionable moments. He notes that each episode begins with a random extreme close up, noting an instance in which Spike's tongue is used for the close-up.

In 2016, he makes a brief review of the film in the list, All the Looney Tunes Movies, where he doesn't hate it as he used to, calling it a 'product of the times that's actually kind of interesting', acknowledging it's enjoyable to look back at how dated it was.

Even before starting the comparison, he openly admits that he considers the 2005 film vastly inferior to the earlier version and a mediocre film overall, and that the main purpose of this video is to illustrate where the newer version went wrong. The Critic heavily criticizes Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore's performances as Wonka and Charlie in the 2005 film and admits in a later Old vs. New review of Manhunter vs. Red Dragon that loyalty to the source material does not always make a better movie.

Best Wonka: Gene Wilder -- The Critic gives Gene Wilder the advantage as he believed that unlike Depp, he knew what exactly he was trying to be and it came out less awkwardly.

CR makes a surprise cameo at the end.

Note: At the beginning of the review, the Critic mentions to Chester A. Bum that he thought he would be doing a crossover with JesuOtaku. Four reviews later, the Critic actually did a crossover with JesuOtaku on Digimon: The Movie.

You may not know it, but fractals, like the air you breathe, are all around you. Their irregular, repeating shapes are found in cloud formations and tree limbs, in stalks of broccoli and craggy mountain ranges, even in the rhythm of the human heart. In this film, NOVA takes viewers on a fascinating quest with a group of maverick mathematicians determined to decipher the rules that govern fractal geometry. For centuries, fractal-like irregular shapes were considered beyond the boundaries of mathematical understanding. Now, mathematicians have finally begun mapping this uncharted territory. Their remarkable findings are deepening our understanding of nature and stimulating a new wave of scientific, medical, and artistic innovation stretching from the ecology of the rain forest to fashion design. The documentary highlights a host of filmmakers, fashion designers, physicians, and researchers who are using fractal geometry to innovate and inspire.

Despite it being somewhat dated, having some silly moments, Starscream's constant betrayals of Megatron, and his dislike of Scatman Crothers portraying Jazz, he praises the action scenes, the surprisingly good story, how well it knows its audience, and the effort put into it, and still considers it to hold up.

The Critic reviews the third and final installment of the franchise, The Matrix Revolutions . He claims that this film focuses more on dull and repetitive dialogue than actual action, criticizing the scenery, the overlong scenes, what action there is for being as dull as the dialogue, and characters not showing much emotion. Special criticism is reserved for the final fight scene between Neo and Agent Smith as the Critic considers it underwhelming compared to the "burly brawl" between Neo and the Smith clones in Reloaded along with the boss fight against MegaSmith in the video game The Matrix: Path of Neo, while special praise is reserved for Smith's hilariously over-the-top laugh, as well as his line "Cookies need love like everything does". In the end, he feels that, while not good, the series still had a big impact on cinema and none of them, not even the third, is awful.

During the review, Agent Schmuck has revealed to have taken control of Malcolmus and Tamity , but in a strange twist, it is revealed that Agent Schmuck is actually a character from Dark City, who, after that flopped, made the series and later manipulated the Critic into making it popular again by reviewing it, much like what the Critic tried to do with Foodfight. Schmuck, however, is then defeated when Chester A. Bum gives the Critic a needle that allows him to ruin anything.

Channel Awesome Tag: Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith: "Cookies need love like everything does."

Continuing with the Month of Love, the Critic debates whether or not the Twilight series is truly the "Worst Thing Ever".

Lucy has an important speech to make at a Recruitment Conference, and when her PA pulls out, Barbara suggests that Lee offer to write it himself. Tim also offers his services, but Lucy clearly likes Lee's style a lot more, and hires him. However, Lee is frustrated when Lucy becomes increasingly demanding of him, asking him to do everything from making her a cup of tea to stamping letters. When she pitches her services to a blackcurrant juice company, Lee invites the representatives to watch Lucy's speech. Lucy is furious, and Lee resigns in a temper.

Tim replaces Lee at writing the speech, but his jokes are not as funny as Lee's. Barbara persuades Lee to ask for his job back, and Lucy grudgingly agrees, and asks Lee and Tim to pick up her dress from the dry-cleaners. Lee and Tim accidentally ruin the dress, and have to buy Lucy a new one. Surprisingly, she likes the new dress, but it is so clingy she has to wear it without underwear. At the speech, Lucy tells all of Lee's jokes wrong, and has to start using the jokes Tim suggested – which surprisingly go down well. However, when she steps out from behind the podium, the bright auditorium lights render her dress see through, and the audience see her without her underwear. She still manages to secure the contract with the blackcurrant company.

The Critic is forced by Don Bluth to play Dragon's Lair , the video game Bluth himself created. The Critic praises both Dragon′s Lair games for the art behind the animated cutscenes, but criticizes the intense difficulties, such as going back to a certain obstacle and expecting the same result while in reality, the game becomes harder due to the fact a different result could occur even with the correct solution. Special criticism is reserved for the rule in which a player in Dragon′s Lair II must collect every treasure and the gameplay during the ending cutscene.

The Sea Behind the Dunes

This is a list of Nuragic tribes, listed in order of the province (Roman province) or the general area in which they lived. Some closely fit the concept of a tribe. Others are confederations or even unions of tribes.Before the Roman conquest in the 3rd century BC, the islands of Corsica and Sardinia were inhabited by three main peoples or ethnic groups, the Corsi, the Balares, and the Ilienses or Iolei, each of them divided into several tribes. With the Roman conquest, the province of Corsica and Sardinia was created, becoming the second province of the Roman Republic to be created after that of Sicily.The ethnic and linguistic affiliation of the Nuragic people and tribes remains to be further studied. Current knowledge indicates that they may have been related to the Iberians and the Aquitanians, these peoples were Pre-Indo-Europeans and spoke Pre-Indo-European languages: Aquitanian (the ancestor of modern Basque) and Iberian. There is also the possibility that the Nuragic peoples may have been related to the Etruscans and other Tyrsenian peoples and languages. Because of this, the Nuragic peoples and their languages may also have been Pre-Indo-European.Nuragic peoples and tribes are the ancestors of most present-day native Sardinians and Corsicans, and their language or languages, like Paleo-Sardinian, are the substrate of the modern Sardinian and Corsican languages (both pertaining to the Neo-Latin branch). One of the Sea Peoples (the Shardana or Sherden) may have been either a population hailing from Sardinia or a group of tribes that migrated to the island in classical antiquity.If the Corsi, dwelling in Corsica and in the northenmost tip of Sardinia, were a Ligurian people and a group of tribes (they probably were an Indo-European people related to the Celts), then they would have been of a different ethnic and linguistic affiliation from the majority of the tribes of Sardinia. Because of this, “Nuragic” may be seen as a geographical and historical generic name for different peoples and languages of different origins, rather than indicating a single origin.

Off to Beat the Nerd

The Critic reviews Baby Geniuses . This review was filmed on location at Animarithon on Bowling Green State University, with the Critic wandering around the convention building while doing a film noir narration about the movie. He criticizes the ridiculous plot, wide angle shots, recurring jokes, gimmicky attempts to appeal to older audiences, and acting. Special criticism is reserved for the special effects, particularly the animatronic costumes, which he finds nightmarish, and the premise that babies are born with super intelligence but lose it as they grow older, which the Critic finds completely stupid. He is also disgusted that Bob Clark was the director, given that he also directed A Christmas Story, which the Critic considered earlier to be the greatest Christmas film.

Doug later put the film at #7 on his "Worst Movies Nostalgia Critic's Reviewed" list.

In response to the 20th anniversary of the show, the Critic reviews Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie after Zordon asks him to do so to stop Rita Repulsa from using the Power Rangers "most despised product" to turn the whole world against the entire franchise. While battling Rita and her monstrous Movie Bomb with the help of Linkara, the Critic finds Turbo to be stupid and childish even by Power Rangers standards, criticizing the generic plot and acting as well as the slow pace, the costume effects and action scenes, the ludicrousness of a young boy replacing the established Blue Ranger, not making good use of returning characters Kimberly, Jason and Zordon, and lack of actual screen time for the Power Ranger suits. Special criticism is reserved for the lack of explanation regarding the origins of the Turbo powers. The Critic still admits that it is acceptable to fans, as the campiness of the show is what they liked about Power Rangers and partly what made it a cult classic.

After ending the previous week's editorial on a cliffhanger by announcing that he'll review the number one greatest modern horror classic in full, the Critic puts together his own crew of cliched characters known as the "Token Troop" to review Monster Squad with him, Malcolm, Jim, Rob and Jason playing their respective cliched characters. Though they criticize the nonsensical plot, cliched characters , and content that's too violent, vulgar, and dirty for a children's film, they consider it the movie that perfectly defines the 80's and the ultimate movie to watch for anyone wanting to relive the decade. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where one of the characters asks someone if they've seen a virgin, causing the Critic to create the scene into a Pepsi commercial . During the review, Tamara tries to get into the troop, but fails as it's boys only . Eventually, the troop runs into their worst enemy, a monster covered in stuff from reality, the presence of which makes them doubt and criticize the movie. However, Tamara manages to destroy the monster with YouTube comments, snapping them out of it and allowing them to give it praise once again.

In the end, he hopes that Disney will one day attempt another movie that′s more loyal and all around better.

He admits to having liked it more than the first film when it came out due to it going all out with its content, but now feels that, while the first film at least had a central focus, this film is all over the place and the excessive scenes of dialogue and action get in the way of it making any sense, in addition to all the flaws from the original being present. Special praise is reserved for the fight with the multiple Agent Smiths and the freeway chase for still holding up, while special criticism is reserved for the scene with the Architect and the ending for being incoherent.

During the review, Agent Schmuck returns for revenge, and the Critic meets the supposed creator of the series, Black Willy Wonka , who hints that Malcolmus and Tamity , who's randomly fallen for the Critic like Neo and Trinity, might not be trustworthy.

After thinking he's going to review the previously reviewed The Chipmunk Adventure again, the Critic is disappointed to learn that he's reviewing the live-action/CG-animated film instead. Though he admits that the title characters are cute, some of the jokes work and David Cross is hilariously over-the-top, he considers it far inferior to the other film, criticizing the lack of personality for the chipmunks , the generic plot, acting, lack of likeability for the character of Dave, and juvenile humor, feeling that in the end that kids deserve films with more substance than this and its sequels, and insisting that fans instead watch The Chipmunk Adventure. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where Simon eats Theodore's feces , as well as Jason Lee's delivery of Dave's iconic "ALVIN" yell. At the end of the review, the Critic, joined by two people who were posing as Simon and Theodore, have an encounter with the Aww Girls, a trio who are fans of the movie simply for the cuteness factor, and in a musical number that parodies "Girls of Rock and Roll" from Chipmunk Adventure, argue over which movie is the better adaptation of Alvin and the Chipmunks; their argument ultimately ends in a stalemate.

Special criticism is reserved for the seemingly endless randomness of everything that transpires onscreen, and the film's villain song, which he feels makes no sense.

The Critic reviews Warriors of Virtue . He criticizes the film's dullness, the uninteresting main character, blurry fighting scenes and lack of character development, but gives credit to Angus Macfadyen's over-the-top performance, calling it the only entertaining element in the whole film. Special criticism is reserved for the characters' mispronunciation of the word "tao", and a pointless scene showing a character continuously screaming.

The Genius That Was China: The Threat from Japan

After being sent to Hell, where he finds that the Devil has remade it in the vein of the superhero film Spawn , the Critic sets the record straight by reviewing it. Although he praises the makeup, the cool premise, and the performances of John Leguizamo and Nicol Williamson, he considers it overall to be a massively wasted opportunity, criticizing the writing, incoherent plot, lack of subtlety, sloppy editing, erratic pacing, awful CGI effects and downright bizarre moments. He also feels that a major contributor to the film's failure is the fact that it was released during what he calls "the dark age of superhero films", the same year as the infamous Batman and Robin. Special criticism is reserved for the horrible depiction of Hell and the main devil Malebolgia, particularly the embarrassing visual of the latter, even saying that We Wish You a Turtle Christmas had better effects, claiming at least its characters had lip movement compared to the character.

The Critic reviews North to see why Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel hated the movie. He criticizes the random musical number, ethnic stereotypes, racist portrayals, adult content, unnecessary cameos, cold-hearted characters, awful jokes, the bizarre Bruce Willis character, the overall ridiculous scenario and the insane retcon in which the whole story turns out to be a dream. Special criticism is reserved for the opening, in which North passes out because of his parents arguing, and the father says "Here, loosen his pants.". The Critic also concludes that the director Rob Reiner felt he had made too many good movies and so, to even it out, he needed a bad one.

Doug Walker later put this review at #8 in the retrospective "Top 11 Best Nostalgia Critic episodes".

Why the Towers Fell

Guy is taking Lucy on a surprise holiday, and buys her lots of expensive – and revealing – clothes. Lee gets suspicious when a suspect package is delivered to Guy, and assumes that Guy is a gangster. However, when confronted, Guy claims it was only his passport. Lee and Tim break into Guy's office and discover several precious stones – presumably diamonds – in the package. Guy admits that it wasn't a passport he had delivered, but claims that the 'diamonds' are actually sapphires which he was making into a necklace for Lucy. Still suspicious, Lee steals one and has it valued, confirming that it is a diamond.

The surprise holiday is revealed to be to Sicily. When Guy and Lucy go to the airport, Barbara warns Lee and Tim that Sicily is famous for gangsters, and that Guy is using Lucy to smuggle the diamonds abroad. Lee and Tim run to the airport and confront Guy, but he explains that the sapphires are real, and that the diamond is the only one – and has been made into an engagement ring. Guy asks Lucy to marry him, but Lee asks her to say no – he may not be a gangster, but he is still not right for her. Lee returns to the flat alone, but Lucy later returns, saying she refused Guy as he was too controlling, and their relationship is over.

He puts the character from Red Dragon rather than Silence of the Lambs , because he acknowledges Lecter′s goal in Red Dragon, which is attacking Will Graham and his family while still in his cell, and points out that Lecter in Silence of the Lambs is not that scary, saying he considered him more like ″a James Bond villain″, but he does gives credit to Silence of the Lambs, since people say it is scary when ″an evil person loves you as opposed to hate you″. After which, he takes time to give special criticism to Hannibal , particularly for the scene in which Paul Krendler ′s skull is open, exposing his brain, with Lecter touching it with a spoon.

7. Alex from A Clockwork Orange

The Critic promotes Marvel's The Avengers by reviewing an unrelated 1998 film of the same title. He criticizes the plot holes, absence of people in the background, awkward characterization Sean Connery was given, the ineptitude of the spy agency, lack of passion, as well their odd choices of names and the overly polite dialogue. Special criticism is reserved for a scene in which the main villain and his henchmen dress in Teddy bear costumes during a meeting.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

He praises the faster and more realistic action scenes of the new series; whilst stating that the settings weren't spectacular, the choreography and pace was superior to the "underwhelming" action of the original series despite their superior setting. He also adds on how the unspectacular settings seemed to make him get invested more into the action. Other points in finding the new series to be better in terms of action was what he felt was "the best Stan Lee cameo ever", better slow motion scenes, , and the sequences of Spider-Man swinging around are better handled, as he could really feel like he's swinging around with him, as opposed to the originals, which he felt like was something out of a "video game." However, he also admits to liking the train sequence of Spider-Man 2.

Kate is trying to help Lee find a permanent job, but Lee dislikes all of her suggestions. To prove a point to her, Lee finally manages to get a job as a caretaker in the same block of flats, but taking up the new post involves moving out of the flat and into one on the ground floor. Lee is hesitant to accept the job, but Tim encourages him to do so, claiming that even if he gives up after a few weeks and moves back in, Kate will still have more respect for him. On Tim's suggestion, Lee accepts the offer and move out. However, it is revealed that Tim's actual plan is to convince Kate to offer Lee's room to a new female flatmate, therefore removing her from all male attention. Kate listens to Tim and advertises the flat, but her first applicant is Pete , an intelligent and attractive male flatmate who would be a rival to both Lee and Tim. Tim therefore changes heart and urges Lee to move back in as quickly as he can. Lee puts Pete off by telling him that Kate likes to do something unpleasant involving fish and selling tickets, and admits to Kate that his plan all along was to move back in with her. Kate agrees to let him move back in. However, as soon as he arrives, she reveals that she has heard about Lee's fish story, producing a huge specimen from behind a cushion and whacking him around the face with it...

The Transplant Experiment

The Critic reviews Patch Adams . He finds the movie to be "disgusting", criticizing the story, stereotypical characters and corny dialogue. He is especially outraged over how the film does not do justice to the story of the real Hunter "Patch" Adams by having Robin Williams act like a "jackass". Special criticism is reserved for how the female love interest was in fact completely made up for the story and how her murder in the film shows how flawed Patch Adams' practices are, at which point he literally gives the movie a whipping and flips the bird at it.

Doug Walker later put it at #11 on both of his "Favorite Nostalgia Critic Episodes" and "Worst Movies Nostalgia Critic's Reviewed" lists, where he confessed to being really skeptical about the time period it took place in, and stingy about historical fiction in general, in addition to growing tired of the films Robin Williams was making back then. However, after he died in 2014, Doug Walker as himself did a farewell video for the comedian and said that he was a major inspiration of comedy for his reviews.

Blueprints in the Bloodstream

The Critic reviews the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland after following "Carrotjuice the Black Rabbit" , who has stolen a hard drive of old home movies, into "Burtonland", which he explores with Malice . Though he addresses some nice visuals and a bit of zaniness from the source material, he criticizes it for being disloyal to both the story and the spirit of the source material, pointing out the clichéd story, generic characters and content that is too violent for a PG-rated film, such as the main character crossing a moat filled with severed heads. Special criticism is reserved for the world's real name being revealed to be "Underland" instead of "Wonderland", which pretty much makes the film's entire title incorrect, as it is not a remake of the animated film but a live action sequel, even saying that Care Bears in Wonderland was a better adaptation, as it kept the zaniness throughout and the main threat better fit the story.

In the end, after the Critic tells Burton off for all his bad remakes, saying he has been living in someone else's shadow, Carrotjuice and Malice play the home movies and reveal that the Critic's childhood room is filled with Burton paraphernalia, with work inspired by Burton's films that even the Critic thought were not that great. Burton then convinces the Critic that it is worth sitting through some bad films to get to good films before sending him back to the real world, only for the Critic to forget once it is announced that Burton has cancelled his current project Big Eyes in favour of directing a film adaptation of Adventure Time, starring Helena Bonham Carter and Johhny Depp as Finn and Jake respectively.

They criticize the designs of The Smurfs and the fact that their names are based on their individual personalities , the comedy of Gargamel , the setting of the film being in New York City, the plot holes such as why Papa Smurf is afraid of onions, the visual storytelling by Raja Gosnell, the director of Home Alone 3, Scooby-Doo and Beverly Hills Chihuahua, elements ripped off from other movies of varying quality , and the product placement scenes, such as the one in which the characters play Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that the majority of the movie revolves around Neil Patrick Harris′ character, and his struggles as an advertiser and becoming a father instead of The Smurfs themselves.

Is This the Best Batman Movie?

One of the ancient world's most iconic buildings, the Colosseum is a monument to Roman imperial power and cruelty. Its graceful lines and harmonious proportions concealed a highly efficient design and advanced construction methods that made hundreds of arches out of 100,000 tons of stone. In its elliptical arena, tens of thousands of gladiators, slaves, prisoners, and wild animals met their deaths. Ancient texts report lions and elephants emerging from beneath the floor, as if by magic, to ravage gladiators and people condemned to death. Then, just as quickly, the Colosseum could be flooded with so much water that ships could engage in sea battles to the delight of the crowd. Now, archaeologists and engineers are teaming up to recreate a 25-foot lifting machine and trap door system capable of releasing a wolf into the Colosseum's arena for the first time in 1,500 years. Do they have what it takes to replicate the innovation and ingenuity of the Romans?

**He pans the show for ripping off Ren and Stimpy, the animation for being too clean and finds the main characters to be more annoying than Bonkers. Though while Shnookums and Meat is actually three cartoons in one, he gives no mention of the other two segments "Pith Possum" and "Tex Tinstar"
*Quack Pack
**He criticizes the characters of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, the theme song's lyrics, scripts, stories and what the show stands for.
*Mighty Ducks
**He finds this show to be what killed The Disney Afternoon. He criticizes the show for having nothing to do with the movie series it is based on despite it having the title and sport they play, the story and main characters. However, he praises the casting of Tim Curry and Tony Jay as the villains and the idea of putting them together on the show.

Note- During the commentary of the review, Doug explained he was too harsh on Goof Troop and in fact likes the show. He also addressed why he didn't include shows like Hercules or The Little Mermaid.

Tim joins a band at work and enters a Battle of the Bands contest. Lee, Lucy and Daisy go, and see Tim's band win through to the Grand Final. When Lucy falls for Stretch , the lead guitarist, Lee becomes jealous, and decides that if he can't beat them he should join them. Lee convinces Tim to talk to Stretch but instead of being offered a place in the band, he is given a job as a roadie. Lee isn't impressed. When he is fetching Stretch's jacket from the van, he is met by Stretch's girlfriend Grace , who throws Lee his flat keys, and several songs which he has written for other girls. Lee confronts him and shows Lucy the songs. Stretch then resigns from the band, saying "Something tells me I'm not getting the prize I really came for". Lee takes Stretch's place as lead guitarist: they perform "I Could Be So Good For You" , but didn't win. The closing credits feature the band playing the theme tune with Daisy playing bass and Lucy on the drums.

The Critic reviews End of Days . He criticizes the plethora of plot holes, lackluster action, lack of horror, over-the-top science, farfetched mathematical clues, and considers that the premise of Schwarzenegger fighting Satan had more potential.
Note: The running gag "CAAAAT!" debuts in this episode, used whenever a jump scare happens in a film that fails to be frightening. During the film, the camera cuts to a black cat yowling without warning, which the Critic dismisses as "the scariest non-scary thing I've ever seen".

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, known in Japan as Nurarihyon's Grandson (Japanese: ぬらりひょんの孫, Hepburn: Nurarihyon no Mago) is an anime adaption based on the manga series written and illustrated by Hiroshi Shiibashi. Both seasons are comprised of 26 episodes each, both of which have two recap episodes placed in the middle and end of each season. The first season originally aired from July 3, 2010 to December 27, 2010, and broadcast in the United States and Canada on Viz Media's online network, Neon Alley, from October 2, 2012 to March 30, 2013. The opening themes are Fast Forward and Sunshine, both of which are performed by Monkey Majik and the ending themes are Sparky☆Start and Symphonic Dream performed by Katate Size (Aya Hirano, Yui Horie and Ai Maeda). The second season originally aired from July 3, 2011 to December 25, 2011, and broadcast in the United States and Canada on Neon Alley from January 28, 2014 to May 20, 2014. The opening themes are Hoshi no Arika and The LOVE SONG, both of which are performed by LM.C and the endings themes are Orange Smile and Departure performed by Katate Size (Aya Hirano, Yui Horie and Ai Maeda).. Two additional 23-minute OVAs were subsequently released in December 4, 2012 and March 4, 2013 after Sennen Makyou finished. They were bundled with the limited edition releases of volumes 24 and 25 of the manga.

The Critic reviews Milk Money . He considers the film "sick" and hellbound for taking a sleazy premise and trying to make it family friendly, with a dreadful plot, painful dialogue, bad acting , inappropriate overtones, annoying screenwriting cliches, the main characters' similarities to the cast of Full House, and many awkward moments. Special criticism is reserved for a scene when Frank, one of the boys, brings Melanie Griffith's prostitute character to sex education.

Channel Awesome tag: Malcolm McDowell as Waltzer: "I'm going to the sock hop."

The Critic starts off Nicolas Cage Month by reviewing Face/Off . He criticizes the plot holes, the fact that the film makes the villain more likable than the protagonist, and the usual clichés from both the 90's and director John Woo . However, he lends heavy praise to the action, overacting from both Cage and John Travolta , and acknowledges that the corniness is what makes the film so fun. Special criticism is reserved for the complete total incompetence of the prison Archer-as-Castor Troy is sent to.

This is the last episode to feature Rachel Tietz, who moved to California for further acting opportunities. Given the original sketches dealing with her departure, where Tietz would be sent to California inside a box, wound up accidentally deleted by Doug, instead at the end of the episode Tietz appears through Skype to give her farewell. Doug also mentions that there would be a new female co-star for his reviews, later revealed on Facebook to be Tamara Chambers, Tietz's roommate.

The Critic reviews Junior . He considers the film boring, being more serious than it needed, and finds Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito unfunny. He is especially horrified by a scene where Arnold's baby is shown, causing him to go into "20 straight hours of projectile vomiting", as the doctor puts it. Special criticism is taken for the fact that director Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman, went on to direct the 2007 hit movie Juno.

The Critic reviews A.I. Artificial Intelligence . He considers the movie to be a confused mess, criticizing the multitude of plot holes, editing, constant shifts in tone, and the completely unnecessary third act. He feels as if the film is a clash between the styles of the two men responsible for it, Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick − though he is surprised at the fact that many of the sentimental elements were Kubrick′s ideas. The Critic still acknowledges that Spielberg did his best to bring his late friend′s vision to life while still bringing his own spin to it, and commends Spielberg on doing a decent job of re-creating the cinematography of Kubrick's films.

The Critic reviews Commando . He states that he likes the movie, but considers it overtly stupid, with a few plot holes, an out-of-place James Horner score and the usual Schwarzenegger clichés.

While Hyper argues that the new is more developed and stronger, the Critic says that, while the original has only known the life she's lived, having the new version start out as an adult makes her reasoning behind staying in the life nonsensical, especially since she leaves in the end anyway. He also feels that the new isn't as emotionally complex, as she's far too happy throughout most of the film and doesn't try to escape after being locked in her room towards the end, while the original does try to escape and is clearly near her breaking point for most of the film. In the end, he summarizes that stronger is no match for more interesting.

The Critic debuts a new series that looks at TV shows from the past that were odd or had an odd concept, starting with the cartoon Star Wars: Ewoks.

The Critic continues the Month of Love with a review of Pearl Harbor . He tears it apart for Randall Wallace's writing and portrayal of the United States military of World War II, with special criticism for the performance of Ben Affleck, the romance, and director Michael Bay's version of the historical event the film was based on. However, he does give credit to the effects and action scenes, Mako and Dan Aykroyd's performances, and is surprised at how the first half of the film has little to none of Bay's typical trademarks.

The sketches in-between the review shows a fictionalized exploration of the rise and fall of Bay, stating his style of filming comes from working with pornographic films - in reality, Bay directed commercials and music videos.

The Critic reviews Tom and Jerry: The Movie . He is upset about Tom and Jerry being able to talk and when the orphan girl Robyn Starling becomes the focus of the story , and also shows a strong dislike for the musical numbers and the weak slapstick. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where Tom and Jerry speak and introduce themselves to Pugsy, and sing about being friends. The only positive elements he notes are the silent scene where Tom and Jerry roam the city after losing their home and a clever in-joke with a restaurant called "Bill and Joe's", referencing Tom and Jerry's creators.

He imposes a ban on all gadgets, which Daisy inteprets to include torches and sat-navs, becoming a problem when they break down in a supposedly haunted wood. Lee takes on the man's job to try and repair the car, only to set fire to himself and the engine bay. He then heads into the dense thicket, looking for a man-sized creature Lucy claimed to have seen. He and Tim encounter a clown-masked figure and flee back to the safety of the car, where they all sleep until the clown and an army of masked people show up surrounding the car. This terrifies the foursome, prompting Lee to get out and ring the police, after finding that Daisy had her phone on her all the time, not equating it to a "gadget". Lee attacks the original clown and rips the mask off his face, to discover that he is a middle-aged man , who tells Lee that he and his friends had flocked to this spot to see dogging, since the area they've parked at is well known for this. At the end, Lucy retracts her original comments about Lee not being much of a man as they camp in the living room of the flat.

The Case of the Bermuda Triangle

Alex Hardcastle

The Critic and Cinema Snob review Star Wars: The Force Awakens , and for the third time, have scenes acted out by Malcolm, Tamara, Doug, and other cast members since the film was in theaters at the time. Although they like the new effects and characters and ultimately consider the movie good, they criticize the similarities to the original trilogy, underuse of talented actors like Andy Serkis and Max von Sydow, the design of Supreme Leader Snoke, and the predictability of a certain character's death. Special criticism is reserved for how underwhelming the final climax is as it relates to Poe trying to destroy the new Death Star and Rey's battle with Kylo Ren.

Throughout the review, the Critic and Cinema Snob do the review in the style of The Star Wars Holiday Special, by staying at the special's Wookiee house and reenacting several bits from the special, with the Critic's idea that they can make a holiday special great if they do this holiday special exactly like the past holiday special. This causes both the Critic and Cinema Snob to realize that the whole thing with the movie's similarities to the original trilogy is not a problem and actually makes sense, as it proves that even though some things are too similar, the filmmakers can make something loyal and faithful to Star Wars, and the idea of repeating plot points in one movie will allow for new stuff to happen in the next movies.

At the end of the review, the Critic announces that January 2016 would be Shyamalan Month.

After that, he explains that he finds the film's story to be an underdeveloped Conan rip-off, criticizes the out-of-match Ennio Morricone score, cheap visual effects and finds both Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger's performances lackluster, though questions why Schwarzenegger himself thought this movie was the one he considers the worst.

For its Zelda cartoons, he credits it for having a solid plot and for making Zelda an active character instead of a damsel and for giving her a father, but criticizes the character of Link and his catchphrase and the relationship between him and Zelda, the other characters, the absence of the third Triforce, and the same cheap animation as the Mario cartoons.

To impress Lucy, Lee starts training for a 10 kilometre Fun Run, only to injure himself after only 3 minutes. In an effort to hide the injury from Lucy, he gets himself a secret sports massage from Claudia from Poland, who Lee found from a card in the newsagent's window, only to find out she is actually a prostitute. She then demands £100, only for Lucy to return when Lee is paying her. Later, Lee and Tim discuss Lee's problem, then visit the newsagent, only to find Claudia's card has gone. They visit Hanover Street, which Claudia is rumoured to live on, meet a young prostitute, and ask which house she lives in, she is willing to tell them for £80. Lee asks Tim to lend him the money, only for the police to turn up as Lee is handing over the money. Later, in the station, Daisy arrives, then Lucy and throws Lee out of her flat. After they are released, Lee and Tim visit the brothel Claudia works in. Lee and Tim end up naked in bed with Claudia and Lee asks her whether she will cover for him and tell the police everything that happened in the flat, but she refuses because she knows she'll be arrested for being a prostitute. Lucy runs past and spots them in the window and is horrified at the sight of the two of them in bed with Claudia. Later, during the 10k run, Lee thanks Lucy for taking him back, and says "when it comes to running, always keep away from very large Poles", just as he runs straight into a telegraph pole.

The Critic reviews The Last Airbender , as requested by Katara and Sokka to stop the director M. Night Shyamalan from adapting The Legend of Korra. Outside of considering the re-enactment of the show′s intro promising and mildly praising the character development of the main villains as well as their actors′ performances, he declares the film to be one of the worst film adaptations of all time, criticizing the extreme lack of loyalty to the show, which includes the bad acting, rushed storytelling, poorly thought out events, complete lack of emotional involvement, ethnic miscasting, name mispronunciation, bad cinematography filled with close ups and over long tracking shots, poor set and character designs and sluggish action scenes. Special criticism is reserved for replacing character development with constant exposition.

Note: Before Doug watched and reviewed the film, he and sometimes his brother Rob viewed each episode of all three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender and the first season of The Legend of Korra and did a review of each one individually. The Walkers later reviewed the following second, third and fourth seasons of Korra. In an episode of Nostalgia Critic Editorial, he made a "Top 11 Worst Episodes of Avatar the Last Airbender" and then later did a formal episode for the seventh season called the "Top 11 Best Avatar Episodes" and has stated to have read the comics, specifically the search. Both of the web videos guest starred Dante Basco, who was the voice actor of Prince Zuko.

The doctor comes up with the formula for the anime series Sailor Moon, leading into a review of the English dub of the anime . While praising the opening theme, he considers the series a formulaic mess, criticizing the repeating plot lines, generally lazy and stupid main character, boring supporting cast, sexualization of 14-year-old girls , overuse of the same animation, irritating American-style end of episode PSAs and other Americanized elements. However, he credits the main character for being a clearly defined character who got better as the show went on, and the writing for keeping the stories interesting despite the repetitiveness. Special criticism is reserved for the decision to censor the lesbian relationship of Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune and rebranding them as cousins.

He also hates how the antagonists of this story are reduced to schoolyard bullies, although he does give Jack Black, who plays the gang leader, credit for looking like the only actor "who's having fun" performing in this film. Special criticism is reserved for Rock Biter singing "Born to Be Wild", particularly as it replaces the regular credits song, causing the Critic to graphically destroy the movie's DVD upon learning the latter fact. The film is placed at #7 on Doug's "Top 11 Best Nostalgia Critic Reviews".

After finding Malcolm and Tamara in fear over an apparent new law breaking up Pinky and the Brain, the Critic explains why such a law would not work by reviewing The Purge . He feels that the film had potential if it tried to be a dark satire, but fails because it takes its ridiculous premise too seriously. He also criticizes the film's poor attempt at explaining why the titular law works, Michael Bay's involvement with the film as one of the producers, the lack of logic shown by the characters, weak suspense, and large amount of pretension and clichés. However, he praises Rhys Wakefield's entertainingly over-the-top performance as the "Polite Leader", though he erroneously calls the character "Henry", who is a different character in the film.

During the review, the Film Brain shows up demanding a crossover review. Not wanting to do two in a row, the Critic has the others distract him long enough to finish, with news of the aforementioned break up sending Film Brain away. He then has Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche act out the break up, which apparently brings world peace.

Lee is horrified when he hears that Lucy is considering marriage to Pavlov , a political refugee from the old Eastern bloc who is working as a local mechanic, just so that he can stay in the country. He initially gets Tim, Geoffrey and Wendy on his side, but, as Lucy's family meet Pavlov and hear his tragic tales of life back home, they are each persuaded that he is a perfect match for Lucy.

Lucy and Pavlov plan their wedding, but Lee visits the Home Office to discover the questions that they will ask when inspecting the couple. When he warns Lucy of the cryptic questions she will be asked, she has second thoughts about the wedding. Lee goes to visit Pavlov himself, and Pavlov realises that the idea is bad and agrees to return to his home country.

The Critic reviews The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue . As an avid fan of the original animated film he is angered by the fact that the follow-up film centers on a background character while virtually ignoring Mrs. Brisby, the main character from the previous film. He also finds the animation down-graded, and is particularly critical of the main character, Timmy, getting relentlessly touted and praised when there is nothing remarkable about him, and Nicodemus's self-fulfilling prophecy. Special criticism is reserved for the idiotic plot twist where Timmy's brother Martin turns out to be the villain in the climax, while at the same time complimenting Eric Idle's voicework as the corrupt Martin as "the only thing remotely entertaining" about the film. In the end, he calls upon the Death Star to destroy the DVD.

The Critic reviews Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue . He criticizes the fact that the special is about drugs, the cartoon characters' mean spirited and overly preachy nature, and a very annoying musical number. This was the first episode to be done in the Nostalgia Critic's trademark style, whereas the previous later became the basis for Doug's other web series, Bum Reviews.
Note: This episode was originally posted on YouTube on July 2007. It also introduces the Critic's opening catchphrase, "Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to." It was the first video that Doug Walker used footage from the film he was reviewing.

The Critic reviews Les Miserables in a musical style similar to his earlier episode on Moulin Rouge, this time with Paul and Kyle, while brentalfloss constantly tries to invade the review. Watching the film while at ConBravo, they criticize Russell Crowe′s singing, the cinematography, and plenty of writing issues, such as plot holes, lack of character development, jumps in time periods that lead to excessive side characters and subplots, and the rushed romance. Nonetheless, they feel that the rest of the singing, while hit and miss, is mostly hit due to the powerful emotions shown by the cast, particularly Anne Hathaway, and feel that the film does a good job of both adapting and modernizing the musical. The three critics end up reflecting how reviewers were split on the movie: Paul loves it, Kyle hates it, while the Critic thinks it is just okay.

The review ends with an after-credits scene where the Critic returns home to be greeted by Tietz and Ray dressed as Katara and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender, who seek out his help to save their franchise from a "great evil".

Channel Awesome Tag: Denny's Old Man: "America."

The Killer’s Trail

The Critic reviews The Swan Princess , another frequent fan request. He calls the film "Diet Disney" and thinks that Enchanted satirized this film, as it rips off elements from many of their films, especially Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. He also criticizes the plot and romance, the main characters for becoming bland and generic despite the wide range of emotion their childhood selves expressed in the opening, leading the majority of the songs to be sung by supporting and background characters, certain weird casting decisions , the comedy, and the animation for being too fast paced and energetic for a romance. However, he does give some praise to the opening song "This Is My Idea" for being somewhat entertaining, and the mercifully short running time. Special criticism is reserved for Rothbart's scheme for making no sense whatsoever and as well as the strange name he has.

At the end, he talks to Chambers and Ray about other "diet" animation brands, such as "Diet Dreamworks" , "Diet Pixar" and "Seuss Zero". The latter drink's description foreshadows the next review, after being described as being orange and having none of Dr. Seuss' creative genius.

While he praises the original for taking risks and being unpredictable in comparison to the remake for being more generic and traditional, he feels that the original's risks makes the movie tonally uneven, while the remake at least keeps everything in tone.

Best Supporting Cast: 1963 Original -
While he praises the bully portrayed by Dave Chappelle in the remake for having more comedy and screen-time than the original, and gives credit to Larry Miller's performance as the Dean for his comedic moments, he finds the Dean from the original for being more over-the-top and memorable, and he criticizes the love interest portrayed by Jada Pinkett-Smith of the remake for being too generic and not interesting, in contrast to the original. He acknowledges leaving out the professor's extended family from the remake out of the comparison, as they don't really serve any purpose to the plot and were all played by the same actor anyway.

Best Professor: Eddie Murphy -
Judging from both personality personas, he finds the professor character a tie between the two, given how they're both sympathetic yet funny at the same time, but judging from the Buddy Love persona, finds that Eddie Murphy's portrayal is much more believable and likable.
The remake wins over the original: 2-1.

The Critic talks about how entertainment has gotten stranger and more profound.

The Critic reviews After Earth . He feels that it had potential if the film had the right script or performance by Jaden Smith, but neither were accomplished. He criticizes the performances of Jaden and Will Smith, the clichéd and often unexplained elements of the setting, and the usual M. Night Shyamalan trademarks of plot, dialogue, directing, ideas, and pacing. Special criticism is reserved for the name of Will's character, Cypher Raige, and for a weird scene where Jaden seems to know what his dad tells him despite having no communication.

The Critic reviews Last Action Hero . He criticizes the amount of dialogue compared to the action, the senseless celebrity cameos, and the lack of realism in the movie's "real world" segment. However, he admits that the ideas were creative and was interested in the villain's master plan to bring various antagonists from other films.

Lee's lazy weekend is wrecked when his scrounging father turns up unexpectedly. Having just come out of hospital he needs somewhere to stay for the weekend, leaving Lee to care for his dad against his will. When Lee realises that Frank needs a suppository inserting, he invites Tim, Daisy and Tim's dad Geoffrey round 'to watch the cricket', when his actual motive is to get one of them to administer the suppository. All three of them, plus Lucy, criticise Lee for his lack of care for his dad. Frank suggests he and Lee pretend to like each other in order to impress Lucy, and she is duly impressed by his new-found attitude. Frank nearly reveals the true motive behind his son's new kindness, but instead reveals his own secret – he has been faking his injury. In the conclusion, Lucy congratulated Lee on the care he showed for his father.

The Critic reviews Cop and a Half . He criticizes Burt Reynolds and Norman D. Golden II's characters and acting, cliches, laughable villains, an over-the-top Alan Silvestri score, and Henry Winkler's direction. Special criticism is reserved for how incompetent the police force is shown to be, especially in the fact that they entrust the child star with jobs that are much too important and mature for a child.

The list of Norwegian monarchs (Norwegian: kongerekken or kongerekka) begins in 872: the traditional dating of the Battle of Hafrsfjord, after which victorious King Harald Fairhair merged several petty kingdoms into that of his father. Named after the homonymous geographical region, Harald's realm was later to be known as the Kingdom of Norway.Traditionally established in 872 and existing continuously for over 1,100 years, the Kingdom of Norway is one of the original states of Europe: King Harald V, who has reigned since 1991, is the 64th monarch according to the official list. During interregna, Norway has been ruled by variously titled regents.Several royal dynasties have possessed the Throne of the Kingdom of Norway: the more prominent include the Fairhair dynasty (872–970), the House of Sverre (1184–1319), and the House of Oldenburg (1450–1481, 1483–1533, 1537–1814) including branches Holstein-Gottorp (1814–1818) and Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (1905–2016). During the civil war era (1130–1240), several pretenders fought each other. Some rulers from this era are not traditionally considered lawful kings and are usually omitted from lists of monarchs. Between 1387 and 1905, Norway was part of various unions.Kings of Norway used many additional titles between 1450 and 1905, such as King of the Wends, King of the Goths, Duke of Schleswig, Duke of Holstein, Prince of Rügen, and Count of Oldenburg. They called themselves Konge til Norge ("King to Norway"), rather than Konge af Norge ("King of Norway"), indicating that the country was their personal possession, usually with the style His Royal Majesty. With the introduction of constitutional monarchy in 1814, the traditional style "by the Grace of God" was extended to "by the Grace of God and due to the Kingdom's Constitution", but was only briefly in use. The last king to claim godly reign was Haakon VII, who died in 1957. The King's title today is formally Norges Konge ("Norway's King"), indicating that he belongs to the country (rather than the other way around), with the style "His Majesty".

Can the Next President Win the Space Race?

The battle between Ryuji and Rikuo begins. Ryuji uses his ultimate weapon and challenges Rikuo - if he can survive for three minutes, he wins. Rikuo manages to survive but is severely injured. Believing that Rikuo can't move as fast as before, Ryuji attacks him but it was a ruse and Rikuo counters. Mamiru suddenly attacks in order to protect Ryuji, but Rikuo's yōkai comrades appear to protect their master. Surprisingly, Ryuji gets up, surprised that he isn't wounded. He then realizes that Rikuo uses a sword that only cuts a yōkai. Before he and Mamiru leave, he tells Yura the purpose of his visit. After the battle, Yura asks Rikuo whether he is human. He replies that he is a human by day and a yōkai by night but still the same Nura.

The Critic starts off Nostalgia-Ween by reviewing Tommyknockers . While pointing out the usual Stephen King cliches of the miniseries addressed in It and The Langoliers, such as plot holes, melodrama, unlikable characters, over the top acting and a disappointing ending, he praises the buildup, interesting story ideas about exploring a mentally unstable person's mind, and over-the-top performances, summing it all up as "fascinating". Special criticism is reserved for Cliff DeYoung's character who keeps unashamedly having an affair, to the point of throwing a bag of sandwiches that his wife made for him out of his car, laughing evilly as he goes off to continue his affair , and even continuing having an affair even when a child goes missing. This leads the Critic to call DeYoung's character "The Six Million Dollar Asshole".

The Critic reviews Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie . He already hates the TV show and exclaims that the plot is nonsensical, criticizes the movie for having a budget wasted on pointless stuff like the opening skydiving stunt, poor special effects and how the moral is to fight without powers, yet the Power Rangers get them back eventually. However, he finds a funny scene when Ivan Ooze destroys Zordon. Special criticism is reserved for the climax, which involves the Rangers defeating Ooze by kneeing him in the scrotum.
Note: This episode was originally posted on YouTube on July 2007. Also, in a future episode, the Critic says he enjoys the show's theme song, and this is also the first time he donned the white T-shirt and red tie, which would forever become part of is iconic appearance in future episodes.

Nostalgia Critic (2016)

To start off this year′s Nostalgiaween, the Critic reviews Event Horizon , wondering why the film has a cult following. He criticizes the film for the CGI, the plot, the characters not knowing basic space science despite them being astronauts, and elements of the movie ripping off Alien and Doom. Special criticism is reserved for the fact that the film is portrayed more as a non-scary comedy film than an actual horror film like it is supposed to be. In the end of the review, the Critic talks about the gore scenes that were removed and censored before the film came out, and felt that those scenes could have made the horror aspects better.

They complained that Michael Jackson only had one song to himself with no dancing which is a waste of his talents , while Nipsey Russell had two songs in a row which they criticized his singing and find that musicals aren't Sidney Lumet's thing.

The trio agree that the first film was relatively harmless and that Royal Engagement is not really terrible per se, but make fun of the plot, girly cliches, obvious villains, and that Anne Hathaway's character is hardly ever taught any responsibilities of being a princess in the film. Special criticism is reserved for a scene in which the maids sing "Frère Jacques" while dancing with pots, and an unnecessary cameo by Stan Lee. After the movie ends, the Critic realizes that Hyper Fan Girl was just really manipulating his inner manchild, like the movie manipulates the inner womanchild of its audience.

After multiple requests following his review of the original, the Critic reviews Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance , this time, joined by Mike J of Shameful Sequels, who is angry at the Critic for repeated episodes on films he already reviewed, such as Jaws 3D and Alien Resurrection. While they admit that the Ghost Rider's design is slightly cooler, Nicolas Cage's performance is more over-the-top and enjoyable, and the action is better, they feel it has even more problems than the first, criticizing the nonsensical plot, side characters , cinematography and fast-forward editing, weird dialogue, lack of screen time for Ghost Rider, and numerous bizarre moments. Special criticism is reserved for the Devil's multiple choices and actions throughout the film, such as having a weird ringtone for his cell-phone, losing track of his son, and trying to escape from Ghost Rider by just driving away in an ordinary car.

While he likes the cast, action scenes and some funny moments and feels that the effects aren't as bad as people say they are, he criticizes the film's tendency to immediately follow up funny jokes with unfunny ones, the undeveloped and generic villain, the cameos from the original cast , and editing. Special criticism is reserved for the complete uselessness of Bill Murray's cameo. In the end, he insists that the original is a classic that can't be harmed by this film and that there's nothing wrong with liking it, disliking it, or finding it average as he does. During the review, he's hounded by both a group of whiners who call him misogynist for complaining about the film and purists who hate it , as well as the "meninists" from the "Mad Max" review, before calming them down with the help of Ghostbusters Chicago and some Ecto Cooler long enough to get them to see his point of view.

The Critic, joined by Beth and Tim from "Shark Jumping", reviews the 2004 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera in the style of a stage musical, as well as the style of previous reviews of Mad Max: Fury Road and Hocus Pocus. They criticize the singing performances , writing, and strange changes from the musical, especially the Phantom inexplicably having a horse in his sewer lair. However, they praise the sets and cinematography and feel that, while it's very flawed, so are the admittedly better book and musical; so they let the audience ultimately decide which version they prefer. During the review, they have to contend with a masked fan of the film , later revealed to be Andrew Lloyd Webber himself, and Hyper Fan Girl's wish to get back together with the Critic.

The Critic reviews The Legend of the Titanic . Though he considers the animation to be superior, he considers the film worse than the previously reviewed 2001 animated Titanic film, calling it "disgustingly insulting" for turning the shipwreck into a parable about whaling and establishing that everyone onboard the ship survived the sinking. Special criticism is reserved for the numerous random and odd characters and plot elements in the film, such as talking dolphins and an "octopus with a dog face" throwing the iceberg that destroys the Titanic.

At the end, he finds out that there is a spin-off film, Tentacolino, and shouts "No!" in the style of Darth Vader from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Doug later said in his "Top 11 Best Nostalgia Critic Reviews" video that he would not review Tentacolino because he does not think the review would be as good as the reviews of the two animated Titanic movies. However, Doug changed his mind and reviewed it in 2016.

The Critic celebrates his 100th episode by doing a clip show, but the clip of the past NC and Ma-Ti from his Captain Planet review get mad at him and past Ma-Ti tells him to review the much-requested Battlefield Earth . In a review that features appearances by the villain of the movie, Terl , the Critic heavily criticizes the numerous poor plot points, inconsistencies, characters, constant use of angled camera shots and curtain wipes, John Travolta's over-the-top goofy acting, the presence of talented actor Forest Whitaker, and the overall stupidity of the film's premise. Special criticism is reserved for the complete incompetence of the alien antagonists, the Psychlos, and the supposed unrealism of the climactic end battle, where a nuclear bomb sent to the Psychlo homeworld would create a chain reaction and detonate the planet. At the end of the review, Terl vows revenge on the Critic, only to die a few seconds later when someone lights a cigarette on the Psychlo homeworld, causing it to explode.

Note: Beginning with this episode, the best or worst line of the film reviewed is heard over the Channel Awesome logo.

Note: While preparing for the 100th episode, Doug had the choice of reviewing either Battlefield Earth or Turtles Forever. After viewing Turtles Forever, he found it to be a very good film, and thus chose Battlefield Earth.

Note: In Doug's commentary for this film, while still maintaining his opinion about the film, he does find the film enjoyable to watch. He also praises the art design of the film, admits that John Travolta can be entertaining to watch, and credits Barry Pepper for putting a lot of passion into his performance.

Ninja Turtles Movies Review

The Critic reviews Total Recall along with That Sci-Fi Guy in response to its recent remake. They consider it a solid movie, praising the story and visual practical effects, though noting that it does have some goofy moments, and the usual overacting expected from Arnold Schwarzenegger. They also argue over the ending of the film, with the Critic convinced that it is real and Sci-Fi Guy convinced that it is a dream . In the end, the Critic, after muting Sci-Fi Guy, admits that it has all the fun of a bad movie without actually being bad.

The Critic reviews Ernest Saves Christmas . Like the other Ernest P. Worrell movies, he mocks the silly humor and elements that doesn't make much sense, although he admits that he watches it every year, loves Douglas Seale's performance of Santa and considers it a guilty pleasure. Special criticism is reserved for the presence of a bumper sticker reading "Keep Christ in Christmas", and that it is in a Santa Claus movie.
Note: During the review, the Critic made a comment about autism that he later found to be inappropriate and removed. This is currently the only joke ever removed from the show because he thought it was low, unfair, and did not make much sense.

*Best Karate Kid: Daniel "San" LaRusso While he praises both actors for each doing an equally good job with their performances, he feels that Daniel's older age makes him more relatable.
*Best Teacher: Mr. Han While he praises Mr. Miyagi as a confident and wise character, he feels that Mr. Han had more dimension to his character.
*Best Villains: Cheng While he enjoys the villains from the original for being wacky and over-the-top, he feels that their goofy moments completely contrast with their characters. He praises the villains from the remake being more threatening and seriously taken.
*Best Support: Danny's Mama Seeing how both the mother and the girlfriend are the only supportive characters in both films, he decides to choose between them instead, feeling that both are better handled in the original, with the mother being more supportive than in the remake, as well as the girlfriend being a stronger character in the original.
*Best Story: 2010 Remake While he praises the story from the original for having more realistic moments, he criticizes the goofy, unrealistic moments that don't blend in with those moments, as well as the lack of the balance message the movie was trying to give. He praises the story from the remake having a focused tone and more of the balance message being shown.

The Critic reviews A Troll in Central Park . The video starts with him pacing in anger, infuriated at how bad the film is. In the review, he considers it as the worst by Don Bluth, criticizing the characters, intelligence-insulting childishness, huge amount of filler and pandering, lack of lessons worth learning, and the ending. Special criticism is reserved for the major theme that dreams come true just by dreaming, which he considers both a terrible lesson for kids and thoroughly insulting to the audience's intelligence.

The Critic reviews Free Willy . While he does not view the film as terrible, he considers it to be too similar to previous movies about a boy bonding with an animal, with hammy acting, a cliched villain and some very annoying plot elements. At one point, the Critic states that he believes that the only reason this movie was popular was because Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" was part of the film's soundtrack. Special criticism is reserved for Willy's wailing. However, he does like a scene involving a henchman eating popcorn, due to its sinister delivery.

The Critic reviews Alaska . While admitting that the film's scenery looks nice, he comments on the unlikeable characters, lack of interaction between them, dull and predictable plot, Charlton Heston's acting, the excessive sugar-coating of a polar bear's aggressive predatory instincts, and spinning establishing shots of Alaska, saying the film does not encourage people to visit the state.

To start off the holiday season, the Critic decides to review bad holiday-related movies. He begins by reviewing Jack Frost , While he praises the film's looks and cinematography, as well as a funny reaction the bully makes when the snowman talks, and gives credit for not using the typical family clichés, he criticizes the lack of sense and creativity, snowman special effects, dialogue and characters. Special criticism is reserved for the presence of a chained-up Superman action figure with Batman's head, which the Critic says would have probably been better material for a movie.

Rikuo gathers the combined fear of his Night Parade of a Hundred Demons by using the Matoi tecnique and attacks Nue. To Nue's surprise his body starts to fall apart. Realizing that his body still needs to adjust to the human world Nue retreats to Hell, taking his followers with him, but promising to return to finish the fight. Exhilaration fills the allies at their unexpected victory. Rikuo tells his grandfather to make him the Third Heir to the Nura Clan and states that he is willing to undergo any training to become stronger. Afterwards, Hidemoto and Nurarihyon discuss matters and estimate that they have about a year before Nue returns. Resting at home, Rikuo dreams of his father and grandfather. When he wakes up he joins the concil where Nurarihyon informs everyone that there will be an all-out war against Nue clan and its retainers. Rikuo then informs his subordinates that the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons he leads will follow a code of honor and not hurt humans.

NOVA reveals the minute-by-minute story of the Fukushima nuclear crisis—the one you know about, and the one you likely don’t: the perilously close call at the other Fukushima nuclear power plant a few miles away from the meltdowns. With unprecedented access inside both Fukushima nuclear power plants, NOVA speaks with workers who were there during the harrowing days—a crisis that began as a natural a disaster but was made worse by human beings. But why did the worst happen at one plant while another that faced nearly identical challenges emerged unscathed? It may come down to the skill and knowledge of one man, who has worked there since they started construction. These are crucial questions as the company that runs both plants, TEPCO, tries to clean up an unprecedented radioactive mess and reintroduce nuclear power to Japan.

The Critic reviews Bio-Dome . He considers it one of the worst movies he has ever reviewed, attacking Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin's obnoxious performances, Joey Lauren Adams's annoying acting, unfunny gags, and complete lack of story structure or substance. Special criticism is reserved for a scene in which a clown is shot dead, causing the Critic to conclude that the film is trying to literally kill comedy. The only real positive that he notes is Tenacious D briefly showing up to give a performance, and even he says that they have far too little screentime. Walker later placed the movie at #5 on his "Worst Movies Nostalgia Critic's Reviewed" list.

When World War I began in 1914, the air forces of the opposing nations consisted of handfuls of rickety biplanes from which pilots occasionally took pot shots at one another with rifles. By the war’s end, the essential blueprint of the modern fighter had emerged: it was now an efficient killing machine that limited the average life expectancy of a front line pilot to just a few weeks. To trace the story of this astonishingly rapid technological revolution, NOVA takes viewers inside The Vintage Aviator, a New Zealand-based outfit of aviation buffs dedicated to bringing back classic World War I fighters such as the SE5A and Albatros DV. NOVA joins the team as they discover the secrets of some of aviation’s most colorful and deadly early flying machines and explores how their impact played a key role in the nightmare slaughter on the Western Front.

Although he praises the setting of Frank′s body, some good ideas, the design of the main characters, and especially the film′s gorgeous animation, the Critic criticizes the immature comedy of the movie, such as toilet humor, overused cop clichés, puns that Osmosis Jones makes, content too violent and scary for kids, live-action scenes and the story itself. Special criticism is reserved for the apathetic and emotionless performance of Bill Murray as Frank.

The Critic reviews Pokémon: The First Movie . He complains that the film does not really explain the premise of Pokémon to the non-initiated, undeveloped characters, and considers the message of "fighting is wrong" as hypocritical, considering that the whole point of the series is Pokémon battling each other. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where Ash is resurrected by the devastated Pokémon's crying, something he finds to be a highly clichéd and terrible moral for children.

The Critic reviews what he considers to be the worst holiday special ever made, The Christmas Tree , bashing the plot, animation, characters, voice acting, writing, sound, score and editing, all of which he believes are overall "horrible". Special criticism is reserved for the rushed, last minute message having nothing to do with Christmas and the fact that the special is often considered so bad it is good, like The Room , as he feels that anything related to Christmas should put forth more effort. In addition, his introduction deliberately parodies the introduction of Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space", another "so bad it's good" film. In the end, he shows what Christmas means to him, his crew and his family, including crew members Malcolm Ray, Rachel Tietz and Jim Jarosz, brother Rob and parents Barney and Sandy, though they all botch it up.

Doug Walker released a video titled The Review Must Go On on January 22, 2013, and decided that the Nostalgia Critic must return. It returned on February 5 with a review of The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The show is no longer reviewing films with time restrictions, as the Critic can review any film released during any year (except for films currently in theaters nationwide). Due to Doug needing more time to get "fresh and funny" new jokes, like Demo Reel, the show will have a new episode every two weeks, with the current pattern being every other Tuesday. Also, the series now has an intro sequence and new title font.The new series has evolved from a low-budget web series filmed in his basement and cast members being only his friends and brother to a series being produced in the same studio that was used for Demo Reel. Also, to mark the beginning of the new series, his signature blank wall has changed from yellow to teal.This season regularly features Malcolm Ray and Rachel Tietz (who had previously worked with Walker on Demo Reel), in sketches related to the film being reviewed. In weeks where there is no regular review, Doug releases "Nostalgia Critic Editorials", where he discusses film-related topics.

The Critic reviews Richie Rich . While admitting that it is not the worst of Macaulay Culkin's films, giving credit to some memorable moments and finding the character played by Jonathan Hyde to be likable, he finds the main character incredibly bland, characters with lack of personality, and the film is just banking on Culkin's popularity.

The Critic reviews Mad Max: Fury Road and compares it with the other three films. In the beginning of the review, the Critic states that he feels that while he likes Fury Road, he believes that Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome was the best film in the franchise for its writing, characters, and storytelling during the action while he states that Mad Max 2 was his least favorite since Mel Gibson was more of an observing character than the main character. Eventually, the Critic begins to like Fury Road even more when he realizes it is similar to the Roadrunner cartoons which contains various chase scenes yet has no dialogue attached to it.

During the review, which is a play on Fury Road, the Critic is captured by Impractical Joe, who is upset that the Critic did not think Fury Road was the best film in the series. After escaping and falling into the car driven by Curiosa, a satire on Furiosa who explains and calmly argues with Critic about Fury Road and the other movies, he is quickly pursued by three groups; Impractical Joe, 'Meninists' who believed that women in Fury Road should not be given action roles and want Fury Road to be more manly, and Tom Hardy Fangirls who think Hardy is the best actor in Fury Road for being handsome. The Critic is able to defeat Impractical Joe by making him drive into 'Weirdass Guitar Guy' who shoots shark-explosions out of his eyes. He makes Curiosa stop the car to confront the last two groups. The Meninists are unconformable being around her and are soon given a stern lecture by one of Joe's henchman, who was picked up by the Meninists, and grew to hate them because of their hatred. Barack Obama, played by Malcolm, appears and announces that the women in the military are to be taken out due to the Meninists overwhelming outrage and to be replaced with said Meninists. The Critic takes down the Fangirls by saying that Tom Hardy is a method actor and that doesn't sit well with them, seeing as how he can turn fat for a role. They instead choose to pawn over Joe's henchman. In the end, like the movie, Critic and Curiosa go their separate ways after sharing a farewell glance.

Lee's paranoia gets worse when he notices a passenger who he suspects of being a terrorist due to his nervous disposition and refusal to let go of his bag, even taking it to the toilet with him. When confronting the passenger, Lee notices that he has a box in his bag labelled 'Cartridges' and reports this to Olga, who investigates and reports back that these are just ink cartridges. Later, when Lee is trying to steal a drink from the fridge, he overhears the passenger having a private conversation with Olga about a secret plan and reflecting on the fact that they managed to shake off Lee's suspicions. Lee spots a gun in the passenger's bag, but accidentally alerts the pair to his presence and has to return to his seat. He alerts Lucy and Daisy to the fact that Olga appears to be in on the terrorist threat together, and they hatch a plan for Lee to steal the man's bag whilst Lucy and Daisy distract him. The bag in hand, Lee runs to the cockpit to warn the captain but only succeeds in appearing to be a terrorist himself. When the suspicious passenger comes to confront him, Lee attempts to reveal the gun, only to pull a banana out of the bag instead. The passenger draws the real gun and appears about to shoot Lee before it is revealed that he is in fact a member of Secret Service who has been planted on the plane in response to the terror threats, and it is Lee who has come across as the real terrorist. With everything cleared up, the Air Marshal punches Lee in anger. The episode ends with Lee and Lucy returning to the flat, Lucy and Daisy having spent the whole holiday being looked after by the British ambassador whilst Lee was in custody.

While shooting a fake, gritty, humanized, yet somehow more loyal to the source material, version of Garfield directed by the Coen brothers , the Critic reviews the live-action/CGI-animated film adaptation of Garfield . He states that it is the first time he actually hates anything in the Garfield media, heavily panning the plot, acting, effects, jokes, product placement, romance and the fact that the title character is the only one in the movie that resembles his comic strip counterpart. Special criticism is reserved for the scenes in which the audience is completely impressed with Odie merely bouncing on his hind-legs, as well as for a scene in which the villain reveals that he hates lasagna, which he felt was completely pointless, seeing how it adds nothing to the plot and is never brought up again.

The Plane that Changed the World

After barging into Zack Snyder's office, the Critic reviews Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside Angry Joe with scenes acted out by Malcolm, Tamara, Doug, Joe, and other cast members since the film was in theaters at the time. They consider it very uneven, praising the performances of Ben Affleck and Jeremy Irons, the visuals and the action scenes, but criticizing Jesse Eisenberg's performance and characterization, the plot filled with dozens of side stories, plethora of pointless characters , the lack of loyalty to the title characters and stories being adapted, and the ending. Special criticism is reserved for the movie not properly explaining why Batman and Superman hate and want to fight each other, as well as Superman being killed in his second film, while his comic book counterpart was killed after hundreds of issues were published . They ultimately admit, however, that despite the film's flaws, they are still glad they saw it and they like it, and still recommend the film for anyone who just wants to see what the title promises. In the end, Snyder becomes annoyed and confused at the duo's final opinion of the film, as well as the fact that they came to his office to criticize and belittle him and the movie , and asks them why they did this if they still like the movie, to which the two sheepishly ask if they could write the next film. Snyder ultimately refuses and gives them black eyes instead.

As himself, Doug Walker gives his opinion on Turtles Forever . He opens by saying he watched it because fans requested it for the 100th Nostalgia Critic Episode, and declares he considers it a good special despite not being familiar with the newer TMNT series. He praises the story for keeping the viewer guessing, the balanced amount of jokes and action, and the way the characters interact with their alternate selves among others. The only two things he criticizes is the fact that none of the voice actors from the 1987 show return to voice their characters, as well as the 2003 turtles use of the phrase "what the shell", but considers them both to be nitpicks in a well thought out special.

The Critic reviews A Christmas Story 2 . He considers it a completely pointless sequel to an already over-commercialized film, and heavily pans the awful writing, abundance of unnecessary narration, lack of dialogue for the main character and love interest, poor comedy and visuals, easily unlikable characters , the main character's perverted actions, and large amount of fantasy sequences and throwbacks to the original. Despite this, he does give credit for Braeden Lemasters' performance as Ralphie, explaining that he captured the spirit of the original Ralphie and makes it his own. Special criticism is reserved for the mall sequence where the main character and his best friends work and are given too many chances despite making many mistakes worth firing over.

He directly states that "Mary Jane sucks", and even though he admits that Kirsten Dunst tried doing the best with her performance, he criticizes the writing of the character and her relationship with the hero, as well as her "dumbass in distress" status . He heavily praises Emma Stone's performance as Gwen, finding her to be the opposite of Mary Jane and superior in every way, giving special praise to her romance with Peter, which is what he says is the best part of the second Webb film. He also adds that if Mary Jane did die in the first film, he wouldn't care like he did for Gwen's death.

Admitting that this character is what Scar – a big cat himself – should′ve been like, he heavily praises his personality, being a powerful, menacing and bloodthirsty tiger who keeps his sense of honor and dignity, even when being lied to, captured by his voice actor George Sanders.

He praises the AC/DC soundtrack, but also criticizes the writing, over the top acting , ridiculous death scenes, inconsistent explanation of the cause of the events, lack of scares, and usual cliches of King's films, even discussing them with Pencilhead , leader of the "Troperaisers." He also feels there is no excuse for the poor quality this time since King made it personally. However, he feels that the silliness of the film is ultimately what makes it so fun, and says that if approached as an over-the-top B-Movie , it's actually very entertaining.

Though admitting a few jokes are funny, and admitting to a fondness for the line, "I was frozen today!" he finds the overall film to be stupid and unoriginal, with a weak plot, poor acting, boring characters, too many awkward moments, lame jokes, and numerous similarities to Star Wars. Special criticism is reserved for a scene where Hogan's character and the child actor talk as though a video game in an arcade they are playing is a space alien shooter game .

The 100th Episode

After a music video between Superman and Batman addressing their similarities, the Critic reviews Man of Steel along with Angry Joe, both having very different opinions on the film. The Critic praises the flashback moments, the action scenes, and the cast, but criticizes the plot holes, multiple subplots, mixed up story structure, clichéd and repetitive dialogue, lack of character development, product placement and overwhelming amount of action and destruction. In contrast, Joe counters most of the Critic's criticism, claiming that the film offers a new refreshing take on Superman and makes him seem more human and sympathetic. However, they are surprised to find neither of them hate the ending where Superman kills General Zod. Special criticism is reserved for the overuse of symbolism comparing Superman to Jesus.

Sketches in-between have General Zod threatening the Critic's life if he does not say he hates the film. In the end, the Critic declares that while he does not like the film, he understands where Joe and other people like it are coming from and respects their opinions, despite not agreeing with them. Zod responds by attacking the Critic, but is thwarted by Superman . The review ends with Superman and Batman in a café, parodying the web series How It Should Have Ended .

Note: Doug also reviewed the film with his brother Rob as an episode of Sibling Rivalry, and teased this review in his NC editorial, "Are Superheroes Whiny Little Bitches?". After it was promoted to YouTube it was the first episode in the series to receive over a million views.

He criticizes Dana Carvey′s acting, the screenplay, jokes, pacing, biased characters, and plethora of forgettable disguises, but gives credit to a running flatulence joke for providing the film′s only funny moments, albeit inconsistently.

This one-hour film chronicles the fate of the 33 miners trapped in a collapsed Chilean gold and copper mine in August 2010 and investigates the many challenges faced by both the miners and those working around the clock to bring them safely to the surface. NOVA was on-site at the San José mine in Chile by early September. Conferred special access, NOVA's film crew interviewed engineers, NASA experts, medical personnel, and key figures from the companies that provided drills and crucial rescue equipment to give a more detailed scientific account of the unfolding events. The resulting film, using footage from the scene as well as advanced animation, showcases the extraordinary feats of engineering as well as the biological and geological factors inherent in the rescue. "Emergency Mine Rescue" also examines the psychological and physiological impact of this kind of prolonged ordeal on the miners and those involved in the rescue efforts. Co-produced with Channel Four UK.

The Critic reviews Ghost Dad . Though he admits that the effects are decent for the time it came out, he heavily criticizes the fact that acting legend Sidney Poitier is the director, as well as the acting, especially from Bill Cosby and Ian Bannen, script filled with stereotypes and a ridiculous plot twist, complete lack of realism both in the treatment of the scenario and the way the characters act in general, and feeling that the film's creepier moments fit better in a horror movie. Special criticism is reserved for the rules of the afterlife, which make no sense and feel completely random, as well as being inconsistent and often making the film feel like an "invisible man" story than a ghost story.

Doug lists the movies that he hated to watch for the Nostalgia Critic. In other words, movies he honestly hates.

11. Patch Adams

The Critic returns as he reviews The Odd Life of Timothy Green , while kicking off the Month Of Love. He criticizes the screenplay that despite good intentions is plagued with plot holes, the incompetent and mean-spirited characters , the ridiculous romance, the fact that this ridiculous story is believed by the people it is told to, and the ending. Special criticism is reserved for the parents' decision to "make more mistakes" instead of learning from them and that the town they live in focuses too much on pencils. However, he agrees that the film is well acted, especially from child actor CJ Adams.

Channel Awesome Tag: Common as Coach Cal: "Coach Cal doesn't see it."

Everest: Mystery of Mallory and Irvine

The Critic reviews The Wizard . He calls it one big commercial for Nintendo, criticizing the acting, especially from the character of Jimmy, the fact that the kids act like adults and vice versa and the violent and suggestive themes. He however gives praise to the character, Lucas Barton. The episode ends him talking about where the director and the actors went onto anything successful, finding out they did go on to successful things.

After the outraged reaction to his Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare, the Critic is forced to attempt a positive review of James and the Giant Peach in order to win back his fan-base, despite disliking the film . While praising the creativity, sets and animation, and giving it credit for at least trying to adapt the original novel to where he can see why people liked it, he criticizes the musical numbers by Randy Newman , plot holes, and story elements that go nowhere. Special criticism is reserved for the vague subplot about the demonic rhino that kills James' parents.

Channel Awesome tag: Miriam Margolyes and Joanna Lumley as Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker: "Work, work, work, work, work!"

The Critic continues Nostalgia-Ween with his review of The Haunting . He considers it to be one of the worst remakes of all time , if not the worst, criticizing the ridiculous changes made to the plot, lack of subtlety in the characters , replacing the suspense and scariness that made the original so endearing with CGI special effects that lack any actual scares, Liam Neeson's bland performance and constant monotone deliveries, and elements that thoroughly insult the original. However, he mildly enjoys the scenes with Catherine Zeta-Jones--though admittedly that's just for her sexual appeal in this film , and gives credit to Lili Taylor, calling her a decent replacement for the lead. Special criticism is reserved for the anti-climactic ending which involves the protagonist defeating the antagonistic ghost of Hugh Crane with the power of love and family, which results in the Critic momentarily losing his mind and going off on a blind rant against director Jan De Bont, portraying him as an attention-starved adult child throwing a temper tantrum who mocks the creative style of Robert Wise, the director of the original classic, all the while desperately begging people to love his own work.

Walker later put it at #9 on his "Top 11 Best Nostalgia Critic Reviews" and #10 on his "Worst Movies Nostalgia Critic's Reviewed" lists.

Channel Awesome tag: Owen Wilson as Luke Sanderson: "Really creepy."

The Critic reviews Cats & Dogs . While he states that it is nowhere near as bad as the previously reviewed Son of the Mask, which has the same director, as it has a clever and potentially creative premise, and admits that the villain, Mr. Tinkles, is enjoyable, any potential is immediately let down by the dull characters, acting, directing of both the animals and the human characters, awkward and often uncomfortably dirty comedy, inconsistent effects, weird editing and annoying, repetitive, overused sound effects. He also feels that it would have been better off as an animated film, which would have given the premise more room to be further fleshed out. Special criticism is reserved for the overall bizarre depiction of Alexander Pollock's character, which makes him wonder if the character is even human, and the weird imagery related to Jeff Goldblum's character's work, making him think the character is a terrorist.

Channel Awesome Tag: Alexander Pollock as Scott Brody: "Ah! Belly Rub!"

The Critic reviews Double Dragon . He criticizes the film's nonsensical plot, ignoring its source material from the video game it is based on, the pointless celebrity cameos, using elements from popular films, bad puns along with the dialogue, and lack of character development. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where the actual Double Dragon arcade game is in the background, and how the movie takes place in the "futuristic" year of 2007.

Mystery of the Senses: Vision
Hunting the Hidden Dimension

The Critic reviews Lost in Space . He claims that the film is even worse than the original television series , as bad as Batman & Robin , and one of the worst he has ever seen. He criticizes the performance of Matt LeBlanc, the dull acting of William Hurt, the squeaky-voiced acting of Lacey Chabert, the script, the comedic timing, the bizarre set designs and is surprised that no one seems to realize that Gary Oldman's character is a villain.

"Raoul Puke", in place of the Critic, reviews We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story . Despite praising the animation style, he considers the film to be a "Big Lipped Alligator Movie", due to its many over-the-top and pointless moments. He also criticizes the poorly written script, weird close-ups, often scary visuals, annoying characters, and an overly long and random chase in the middle, as well as a particularly jarring scene depicting the fate of the film's villain.

Meanwhile, Tim offends Barbara by calling her 'the help' and invites her out for a drink to make it up to her. The 'date' is unsuccessful and Barbara admits that she only agreed to come out with him because she felt sorry for him – and also to keep him away from what is happening at the flat.

For his 200th episode, the Critic reviews Ponyo at Anime Milwaukee, which comically angers several fans. He cites that the film is indeed very good, but points out some goofy elements and things it could do without, like an "end-of-the-world" plot device, Sosuke's mother Lisa's needlessly reckless driving and Ponyo's ham craving. He also criticizes Liam Neeson's performance. Throughout the review, he struggles to avoid making a joke about 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami as the film takes place during and after a tsunami. Special guest appearances include Little Kuriboh, Spike Spencer and Uncle Yo, who all come into his hotel room to beat him up for making fun of Hayao Miyazaki. He manages to calm down the fans at the convention, only to get beaten up by them and the Angry Video Game Nerd when he admits his dislike for Howl's Moving Castle.

According to his Facebook page, Walker's actual opinion on HMC is that it is the weakest of Miyazaki's films, with a very weak story, but he enjoyed it for the usual creativity.
