This. Whenever he brings up women, the review suddenly turns into an adolescent ZOMGBEWBSfest instead an actual review. It's a little disgusting and overplayed by now. We get it, you like the girls, Bob. I had been hoping for a review of Takers. I guess Zoe Saldana didn't get naked enough.lead sharp said:
Well seeing as how he spent half of this review taking a shot at those people it wouldnt be the internet if they just let it lieGxas said:
For my part, Expendables was average at best granted, but as others have pointed out don't insult your readers purely for their taste. Espicially when you hold up Piranha 3D as the counterpoint, and I love tits in a movie as much as the next guy.
Also I saw Centurian over a week ago and there is some great action in there but the chracterisation leaves a lot to be desired, although Dominic West channels Jimmy Mcnulty very well, "dont fuck with the ninth" indeed.
It would be a stretch to even call this video a review for Centurian as all you say is the directors previous films are good and it has Michael Fassbender in it, Hardly Exhaustive
Damn it Bob! Stop thinking that hot female nudity makes a movie better! (it dosen't it just arouses the people who don't look at porn) you don't need to keep reinforcing that you like hot women! you're going to start offending your female viewers by making yourself look like a guy who thinks that women in movies are just there to stand around and look sexy!
Anyway I might go see Centurion then.

Short answer - Bob needs an editor.
Like last week, this would have been a good review if the initial nonsense had been removed. Bob needed someone to edit the angst about Pilgrim tanking, and this week he needed an editor to snip the bitterness at the people that complained about his tears over Pilgrim tanking.
Hopefully next week it will all be out of his system and we can get back to reviews that aren't based on bitterness over what OTHER movies did or didn't do.
The actual review bits about Pirahana and Centurian were good.

Who said nothing good comes out in August? Well, me for one. I haven't seen a movie in about a month that I really felt I really wanted to go see, much less one that I NEEDED to see. So far Inception was the highlight of my summer, and I haven't even gone to see it yet, and this stuff...ugh, piranahs? Really? This is what we have from the box office? Piranahs?
You know, I heard a rumor about a movie coming from youtube, something about "Fred"? I don't know what it is, and it's almost assuredly bad, but with movies like this it's easy to see why we're sliding down the film scale so quickly.

No no no, the owner of the pair of tits has to be making out with ANOTHER owner of a pair of tits. While covered in blood, presumably.wooty said:
I'm getting a bit disillusioned with MovieBob.
Look on the bright side, the horror movie about being stuck in an elevator comes out in 2 weeks.ShadowKatt said:
Do you mean six minutes AFTER someone brought it up?maddawg IAJI said:
Just saying.
Also, the review has The Expendables in the tags, it would be weird if someone didn't bring up The Expendables.
OK, now I'm confused with Moviebob and good/bad movies. But hey, I'm going to obsess about it.
Centurion looks pretty decent actually. I never heard about it but thanks to the review I'm now interested in seeing it.

I love Fassbender. Loved him since 300. I might have to seek out Centurion now.
Looking forward to the review of Machete next week.

Actually...no...it was two. He posted at 12:10 Pm EST. You posted at 12:12 PM when you brought up the Expendables. You proved his point, although to be fair, you all were provoked by Bob himself.JourneyThroughHell said:
The goddamn movie is supposed to be set in alternate version of Toronto where videogame rules apply with kung-fu fights and the like. That argument makes no sense, if anything it should appeal more to readers of this site.Rigs83 said:
Anyways the review was fine as always, I had seen Piranha already and it was a lot of fun. Just ridiculously over the top.
This is a valid point, no-one has the right to get good feedback about movies they like and taking reviews like this with a pinch of salt is always a good idea.JuggernautFox said:
However this review barely talks about Centurion at all, as someone said earlier it consists of Michael Fassbender + Doomsday is good, the rest of the video is a ode to Kelly Brook and sniping at the expendables. I expected more about the movie in the title is all.
It's amazing how much people give a damn about that frikkin' review last week. Does it MATTER that he has a different opinion to you? Does it MATTER (on a site, remember, that contained Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw) that he mocked those that liked it? Does it MATTER, frankly, what little nitpicks you have to say about it?
Reviewers amplify previously held conclusions. I don't like the look of a film, a reviewer hates it, I avoid the film. He says it's good, I'll look into it, see if I really DO want to see it.
People live in this strange milase where their decisions have to be made or confirmed by other people. This happens everywhere. Whenever I ask anyone what they want (say, for dinner), they'll say "Oh, I don't mind" but privately will be upset if you chose something they DIDN'T WANT.
Got a bit sidetracked in that last bit, but still, NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, STOP COMPLAINING.
People DO, on the other hand, care what Bob has to say, which is why he has a job doing this sort of thing.

For god's sake I used to enjoy Escape to the movies but if moviebob is gonna just give movies a good review for teen fantasy nudity I might not bother, I hate it when people who obviously haven't seen many naked women talk about movies with them in, they act like it is the biggest spectacle ever.
You know some of us get to see naked chicks regularly, it's not a reason to shell out seven quid at the cinema when I have the internet and the privacy of my own house
