I totally concur. We need to see Marter doing videos in his trademarked skirts, rum filled coconut-goblet...and fez.Tono Makt said:

Good review, well done on getting the gig! Hope you stay on if this is the quality to be expected, I'm quite happy to see it 
Agreed, I see this as a plus.Eclipse Dragon said:

Well count me as one who prefers the written review. I don't like the video trend though in general. I'd rather quickly read through freely than sit through a video with a fixed pace. I find it only worth watching in video if there's an entertainment aspect to the video - rather than just a narration of the written review - and most don't do so.
Anyway this seemed well-written and I loved the term "Action Neeson", quite suitable. Optimistic about these reviews.
It's like watching Oprah in here.
You get a ban, and you get a ban, and YOU get a ban! Bans for everybody! So generous!
Anyway, as far as reviews go... this definitely was one of those. I firmly believe the author did indeed watch the movie, and that his opinions are factually his own. The words seem to be unique, the spelling and grammar were adequate, and no deeply-rooted hatred for the audience seemed to permeate up through the bowels of the reviewer in order to escape through his fingers.
All-in-all, I give it a solid Beige/Beige.

as the OG Martyr here, i can say beyond a doubt that you've spelled martyr wrong. cinemartyr doesn't look as marketable though.Marter said:
Not too bad a first outing, though these days a Liam Neeson movie is practically "fish in a barrel" level of difficulty when it comes to reviewing. Here's to hoping that we see lots more.
Also, this comment thread... oh good Lord, I've hurt myself laughing. Help me.

This [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.871336-2-50-Reviews-Tremors-1990] the hell is Marter. He's been doing reviews in the User Reviews section for a while, and has now ascended toMarsAtlas said:
Ahaha.
Oh, I wish I had checked this thread earlier... Banning half of the site's staff. At least we still have some people with a sense of humour.
Anyway, the review...
Was... A review. XD
I can't say much. I'm out of practice with written film reviews. I guess the film wasn't so great...
The review itself was good. (probably). XD

I'm waiting on the "User was hit in the face with a firetruck" ban, myself.vitamint said:
OT: Grats Marter! And nice review by the way. Seems Liam can really make almost anything good.
Believe me, she knows. She's just doing what Destructoid commenters do whenever there's a person outside core staff writing for them or bring in someone new. They did it for former EiC Greg Tito, see for yourself: http://www.destructoid.com/review-nihilumbra-286787.phtmlThe Rogue Wolf said:
In fact, they do it again about two weeks later when he writes again: http://www.destructoid.com/review-total-war-attila-287510.phtml
Oh my God. This is glorious! Thanks, Escapist mods, for being awesome.
As for Marter getting some official recognition (and a paycheck), woohoo! I was starting to wonder when the staff would pick up on the quality of his work.

Mod of the 'User Reviews' forum and a member of The Escapist since 2009. He's taking over Bob's spot as head film reviewer. No weekly schedule appointed so far but stick around, he's good.MarsAtlas said:
