During this review I made the jack off motion so hard I nearly dislocated my shoulder. Is it me or does Moviebob tend to be more judgmental of a movie's audience than the actual movie?
Tender point for whom though? I'm just confused as to why he has felt the need to go after certain groups so doggedly for awhile now. I'm not sure the dads are out to get him. It's like he spends the entire review on how archaic and out of touch this group is and then ends it with, "The movie was fun though" indicating that he liked it, but just wanted to "take the piss" as you say at this one group for no discernible reason. I just don't get it. I don't watch horror movies and complain about horror movie fans before admitting I liked the movie. That would be like admitting that I'm one of them after having trashed them for five minutes. Is Bob a dad? Maybe he is part of the group? Haha, that'd be a decent "joke on us" scenario. He has expressed enjoyment for a lot of 80's nostalgia and these power roles are a nice throw back for those types.Muspelheim said:I imagine my dad would've laughed all the way through. On the other hand, his power fantasy spectrum were films like Where Eagles Dare and Kelly's Heroes.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. Nor with films like these. Moviebob is taking the piss, that doesn't mean he demands the lot of them banned. Everyone got a fantasy fulfillment genre somewhere, and having a laugh at its expense sometimes is a good way to enjoy them even more.
(Between you and me, the fact that it's such a raw and tender point is rather worrying...)
Except Denzel is less likely to punch your arms and legs in a manner that turns them to noodles, and more likely to just punch your head off.Tomtitan said:I came here to the comments to see a TF2 reference. (Or at least a Korra one.)
I was disappointed.
Poor show, Escapist commenters.
Not entirely sure how Captain America:TWS is a power fantasy, much less one that relates to Bob or his age group.Jim_Callahan said:He's enjoyed other films that are basically the same power fantasy but with the mid-30s target instead of the low-50s (e.g. Captain America: TWS).
That's because it isn't.Gerardo Vazquez said:Not entirely sure how Captain America:TWS is a power fantasy, much less one that relates to Bob or his age group.Jim_Callahan said:He's enjoyed other films that are basically the same power fantasy but with the mid-30s target instead of the low-50s (e.g. Captain America: TWS).
Well, that is true. He's taking the piss, but not with... Hmm, any particular finesse. As to why, I suppose it's just because they're (as a stereotypical collective) rather an easy target. Budweiser, Taken, disappointment at the son's career choice, all of that.Lightknight said:Tender point for whom though?

He trades the souls of dead aliens that attach themselves to his body to Lord Xenu for age treatments to keep himself looking young.Burnouts3s3 said:...Except for Tom Cruise. How that guy keeps looking so young after 40 baffles me.
If Bob hates "Manly Men" so much, why does he keep buying the new versions (and old versions) of Double Dragon?Lightknight said:*sigh* We get it Bob, you think manly men are bad. An ape past its prime that you personally feel is ready to be replaced by the next evolution and die away.
Review Scores on movies?Conner42 said:A cool! A written part of his review. That can be helpful.
*scrolls further*
What the fuck is this shit? A score? Wha....
Moviebob, what haz they done to you?
I don't know about that, but now that I have seen the trailer for that movie, I'm definitly going to see this. A revenge movie because of a car and a dog.. damn I want to see that.Moeez said:Can Keanu Reeves starring in an action movie now be considered a dad movie? He's 50. Or does his immortality dsqualify that? Cause I'm interested to see John Wick for the Collateral-like action and silly lines.
