I prefer Escape to the Movies even if I'm not interested in seeing the film being reviewed. But they're booth pretty good.

I like Escape because it's just entertainment. In The Big Picture he gets political sometimes and I don't always appreciate his opinions.

I think the thing that really gets me, is that the comic book culture is much more of an American phenomenon, then a European one. I have never actually read comic books besides Tintin and Donald Duck. So, it's more the subject matter that doesn't interest me, then the man doing it.

's I really enjoy moviebob's the big picture for its information, obscure cult references and awesome comic book details. But then again, I am a huge fan of all that kind of stuff, more so than movies.

I watched the first mario movie after that review, and my way through the Zelda cartoons-I live in my own happy little kingdom of nostalgia.

Movie reviews are ten-a-penny, reliving my golden childhood, priceless.

I enjoy some of his opinions on Big Picture. But they're both very amusing. I'd say big picture only because of one Laugh out Loud moment from one episode.

Escape to the Movies

I dislike The Big Picture half the time.
He also talks a lot about stuff that I don't care about.

 

[the spud]

Overall, I like escape to the movies more than the big picture. I still love the big picture, but I was a generation or two late for comic books, and therefore am less interested in some of the big picture episodes than others.

 

[PureChaos]

i've only seen Escape to the Movies and really like it. don't watch every one he does, though

 

[JamesWebber]

Big Picture, i just tend to like deeper, cultural things but Escape is great too

 

[Carboncrown]

What about the Game Overthinker?

Anyways, different things. I like Escape to the Movies, because I've come to trust his judgement, or at least my ability to deduct wether or not I will enjoy the movie. Tough it is entertaining on it's own.

The Big Picture on the other hand is purely entertainment and usually about just the kinds of stupid things that I love.

So no preference, but I imagine Big Picture would be harder to substitute.

 

[feeback06]

I'll go with the big picture, since I'm not always interested in whatever movie he is reviewing for the week.

 

[Scarim Coral]

While I have been Escape to the Movies for ages but I voting for The Big Picture. The reason is that sometime I disagree with his reviews (I know that his opinion and he is entitle to it but that doesn't mean I have to like it). Also I tend to find The Big Picture insightful and informative in a good way.

 

[viperthejedi]

I can't stand his over the top fanboyness in his reviews. I haven't bothered with his Big Picture stuff as I can't stand his reviews.

 

[Doclector]

Definately the big picture, it's far more interesting, and it adds variety to see stuff that's not actually related to gaming.

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

I liked him more when he was The Game Overthinker ....

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Well, I did see an episode of Escape to the Movies, so at the time that is my only preference.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Escape to the Movies is more practical. I love Big Picture but it mostly just boils down to a five minute history lesson. I love me some geek culture history (I would have never found out about Green Lantern canon or, the abridged history of Hollywood) but Escape to the Movies effects possible purchase decisions.

...

Ya know what? I haven't seen a movie since Captain America and don't plan on seeing another in a long while so I'm changing my answer: Big Picture.

 

[Scrythe]

I enjoy all three of his shows for various reasons, even if I find myself disagreeing with him more often than not. Still, he's incredibly entertaining.

I just wished he had more self-control over his "fanboyism". It's really starting to strip away his credibility as a critic, and the last couple of years haven't been good to him in that department.
