Moviebob did a game review:Zephyr892 said:This review for some reason really made me want to hear MovieBob do a game review... and Yahtzee do a movie review...
well... the first one is more an issue with the marketing than the movie. the second is largely a product of one of the movies that he compliments as being better movies and i couldn't really find him mention shaky cam in the video, your third example is a more generalized version of your first example and also his objections seemed more to be along the lines of these actors have been in better stuff which is not entirely a fair criticism especially when one of the "better" movies is only better because it has tits. There are actually a few other criticisms he lobs against the movie that you neglected to mention but they are mostly within a 30 second period from 3:50 to 4:20 and quite a few are b.s. he mentions that there is not a single memorable kill but lots of people have mentioned the neck snapping with statham and li, there's also the aa10 scene and some that are memorable just for being hilariously bad.G-Force said:Going off of memory.Freebird. said:When exactly did he review the movie? Give me one legitimate criticism he gave other that "it's just bad."MB202 said:I thought he did review the movies, and he just commented on the kinds of people who are into these sorts of movies.WhoaItsBrett said:You're supposed to review movies, not the fans of said movies.
All you really did in this video was bash fans of movies you don't like.
- Use of actors like Willis as over glorified cameos
- Shaky Cam fight scenes
- Actors that gave performances but were under used
- CG Blood
THANK YOU. you just saved me the trouble of having to type all that in my own words.SamStar42 said:Look, Bob. I've defended you more than I need have, you're probably one of my favourite movie critics but please, for the love of God, accept that not every movie has to be this artistic piece, with amazing acting, original set pieces and have an important message behind them. Some movies are just meant to be enjoyable to sit through. Salt was this and you appeared to like that even if there were two reasons attached to Jolie that probably helped your opinion along the way.
And please, stop stating that everyone who likes a movie you don't is worthless. Transformers, Book of Eli, and now Expendables - some people just like to sit through a movie that's brainless. Whilst they're not that good, stating that everyone who likes them is pretty much wrong is just arrogant and pretentious.
Not everyone who likes bad action movies is this douchebag frat boy, who can't tell the difference between an etch-a-sketch and a Da Vinci. Just accept that occasionally people don't see things the way you do, because you're starting to become insufferable.
So you hate the film because in it a nerdy character gets a girlfriend? That's an odd reason to hate a film.RAKtheUndead said:As a nerd, I don't like being sold the idea of romance. I'm an incredibly awkward person myself, and haven't had a girlfriend despite being 21 - more a case of second-guessing too much to ever make a move. As such, I know that awkward nerds shouldn't get the girl in real life, and that's a big part of the premise of this film. It doesn't just annoy me to see this idea propagated; it actually offends me. I mean, I don't like romantic comedies at the best of times, but when they're trying to spread an idea as absurd and ridiculous as Scott Pilgrim, things go off the deep-end very quickly.
That really doesnt make that much sense, So I have to agree with Axolotl. My dislike of the movie comes from me just not liking the whole of what goes on (like the videogame inspired fight scenes, and Cera), not the premise.Axolotl said:So you hate the film because in it a nerdy character gets a girlfriend?

lol "i would have win!"badumtish said:First thing, I saw expendables and really enjoyed it,shit blew up and for an hour and a half I had a big dumb grin on my face. I'm also about to leave to see Scott Pilgrim so there's that (mostly because I am a huge Edgar Wright fan). But you want to know why Scot Pilgrim did poorly, because it has a base that consists of a portion of gamers born in a 15 year period that played a particular type of game, it has a small base of support. The Expendables base is everyone who likes to watch people get shot and Jet Li kick people, it has a large built in base. And what people don't share your view of movies therefore the world is shit, how pretentious do you have to be to make that statement.
I get the feeling that if this were in fifth and Scott Pilgrim were in first the review would be: I didn't like it but if you want to see shit blow up go see it. Oh, and anyone who says that Jet Li could dismantle Couture doesn't know dick about fighting.

When he was saying "better" movies he wasn't just using the DOA live action. It was moreso that these actors previous works won them accolades such as Oscars and Oscar Nominations or were at least in movies that were both entertaining and had artistic value (Idiocray). Moviebob loves brainless action as he loved the A-Team and the Transporter series but he also loves how action movies have evolved to involve plots and the new trend in Hollywood to just teach actors how to fight than fighters how to act. So when he goes off to say the viewers are the worst kind, he's moreso pointing the finger at the super macho people who want MANLY MEN movies who think good plot line and real choreography should just GTFO.ragingasian36 said:well... the first one is more an issue with the marketing than the movie. the second is largely a product of one of the movies that he compliments as being better movies and i couldn't really find him mention shaky cam in the video, your third example is a more generalized version of your first example and also his objections seemed more to be along the lines of these actors have been in better stuff which is not entirely a fair criticism especially when one of the "better" movies is only better because it has tits.
