That is a given. When that guy gives Pixar a good review, the world will end.
Heās an infamous contrarian, you canāt please everyone. The guy calls Chicken Little and Teacherās Pet āgood animation,ā spent a whole āreviewā of Coraline to grind against WALL-E (to make up for the last time he didnāt bash it when it was hot, I guess) and has voiced many āunpopularā (read: absurd) opinions so be it.
Lol. Some people just shouldnāt even deserve to be considered a movie critic.
The fact that he hated films such as Star Trek, The Dark Knight, and WALL-E, might show a sign that thereās something wrong with him more so than the movie itself.
Perhaps he does exactly what Anton Ego said: He thrives on negative criticism, because it is both fun to write as it is fun to read, and it gets him more recognition simply because he starts controversy with negative words.
I loved this movieā¦period. It awsome in so many ways, the movie knows when to it gets serious, I just loved it. It actually made me want to ā¦I donāt want to spoil it but it was that good.
āChester Bumā Is one of the many roles Doug plays on his popular video review website, where he is best known as āThat Guy With The Glassesā, or āThe Nostalgia Criticā. Dougās āBumā role is best known for bringing comical relief to a recent film within a short span of 1 to 5 minutes.
CAUTION:
Be warned, Doug is well known for using crude humor and is not suitable for younger audiences.
ALSO, Doug reveals the movie. If you havenāt seen it Iād suggest you wait until afterwords before you spoil it in five minutes with this guy. (XD)
Note that we have limited space and also try to avoid spoilers, so there are a few things we didnāt get into.
Poor Charles Muntz (and his fantastic voice actor, Christopher Plummer) didnāt get mentioned at all, and I thought he was such an interesting character, a great warped reflection of Carlās own obsession. When Carl said, āI finally meet my boyhood hero and heās trying to kill me!ā I was thinking, Iām glad Brad Bird didnāt react that way when I got to meet him! Speaking of which, while Kevin was a great name for the bird, I thought it would have been funny if the name had been Brad (I know he wasnāt directly connected to this movie, but he is a Pixar guy ).
I knew that Muntz was the villain from the start, because of that ādoes anyone know where they are?!?!?!ā clip from the trailers. Mom, on the other hand, was surprised.)
I also had a reference in there that I later cut, about how, in a way, Carl and Russelās relationship reminded me of DuckTales, with curmudgeonly, treasure-hunt-obsessed Scrooge bonding with Huey, Dewey and Louie (who were Wilderness-explorer like āJunior Woodchucksā) as they went on adventures together.
Cool! Definitely post the link, AJD08. He must have been making the talk show rounds for his new single that dropped today. (Itās good! Check it out!)
It wasnāt or talk show- it was just a simple Q&A he did via UStream for fans (in conjunction with his āCraigslistā release). Anyway, hereās the audio: [link]
Heās just a little late to the party, but Confused Matthew, infamous for his controversial opinions on well received movies (heās done the Incredibles before), has done a review on Up (contains mild languageā¦ I think) youtube.com/watch?v=zr6RgTQyzZA
Iām usually a fan of Confused Matthew (he did a review of Lion King, which in my opinion is the best traditionally animated film affiliated with Disney, and I still enjoyed his review), but hereā¦ heās talking out of his behind.
