What does being a critic mean to you A. After Ebert? But his opinion might not match my opinion, so what does that necessarily mean? But I think a lot of people that now make a living out of this obviously did go for it. Try to do something from an angle that nobody is doing, and be consistent. Get the stuff out constantly.
Absolutely insufferable. It took me a while to get used to the skits that took place between the reviews but I liked them. I'm glad that his recent reviews go back to the original format though.
Doug Walker plays a short-tempered man child obsessed with movies from his time and whether they still hold up or not many of them don't. Later on introduced to the show are his laid-back friends Malcom, Rachel who left later on , Tamara she replaced Rachel afterwords , and his down-to-earth brother Rob. It's funny to hear him go on his rants about movies if he feels like they're manipulative, lazy in some way or form, or disrespectful to the audience's intelligence.
Military was hilarious while also valid. When he does like something it's nice to see that as well. I like how he balances childish rants with critical analysis of scenes, characters as well as his conclusions at the end of almost each movie review. My favorite episode that I think does that is his review of The Cat in the Hat in that it has great commentary, pacing and skits all well balanced.
I also enjoy his Disneycember videos and I hope he continues doing them as well as more Dreamworksuary videos because there're so many movies he hasn't watched yet and I think he would enjoy or enjoy ripping to shreds. My favorite Disneycember episode is his review of the movie Planes and how he ends of leaving the room after he starts screaming hysterically. I don't have much else to say right now other than if you like in your face humor and movies than this's for you. Take it for what it's worth and see for yourself.
Darkside-Reviewer 26 May The Nostalgia Critic is a YouTube personality who reviews movies that are meant to be in some way nostalgic and some not so nostalgic movies from time to time because of overwhelming fan requests but at its heart this fun goofy over the top movie critic watches the movies we love to hate and hate to love and points out the flaws in them often making hilarious jokes and sketchs about the movies content the critic is joined by a group of other actor's who have there own set of characters and personalitys they work together to bring you a show that makes you laugh think and rewatch old movies for the fun of it and don't worry if you forget his name he remembers it so you don't have to.
As far as I'm concerned there are two "Nostalgia Critics" those that were before "To Boldly Flee" and those that came after. Whereas not all the ones before TBF were gold or necessarily all that good, they were a far sight better than what we got afterwards. Let me take a few steps back. Doug Walker was a man with a dream. He wanted to be the next Stephen Spielberg. He went to school to study filmmaking and when youtube was still new he came up with the idea of being an internet reviewer.
His first reviews were fresh, a little raw around the edges, but they were reviews as done by a screaming, sarcastic, angry guy. But as time went on they became more polished and, dare I say it, enjoyable. I genuinely started to enjoy this and through him I discovered other that I still watch to this day. But time changes things. Whereas before he would have small asides, snide comments and short little skits, as time went on they practically became the driving force.
Too much time was devoted to them and less on analysis or just having fun with it. And while reviews like "The Room" are still among one of my favorites they're just not like that anymore. But Doug got tired of the whole NC shtick and wanted to move onto different things.
So he killed the character off, started up "Demo Reel" which was unwatchable, tried his hand at a game show called "Pop Quiz Hotshot" which was equally painful and because the fans wanted it he went back to being the Nostalgia Critic.
It wasn't the same. Now the skits took up a good portion of the review. In some cases they practically were the review. And it became less about the movie and more about Doug and the Chicago Crew, all of whom are community theater actors at best. The show just got to be unwatchable. And then came the whole Change the Channel bit.
Too often there would be recurring characters with no hint of subtlety. It was all in your face obvious and there was literally none of the magic that the show used to have, It was reduced to a paint by numbers set and I finally signed off forever.
I would love it if he went back to his old way of doing things. One camera, short asides, maybe a thirty second sketch and actual care taken to review the movie whether it was good or bad. But sadly he seems stuck on this new way of doing things.
Sadly he will never really achieve his dreams but will be playing this character until it stops being profitable and then will fade into obscurity having accomplished very little. I first heard about the Nostalgia Critic, in mid When I look at some, I saw that he had a final battle of Epic proportions with a guy called the Nostalgia critic. I decided to check him out.
His first review didn't really impress me much, his review of s, Transformers was good I'm a huge Bum fan , but it didn't seem like that was the style he should be doing his reviews. But his second episode got me hooked. Most of his episodes are gold, some of my favorites include the "Batman and Robin," "The Room," and "Moonwalker.
Godzilla, Twister, and ID4, love the films, but also love the reviews. The only review of his that I hated was his Full House review. I also enjoy his top 11 lists, and his Old vs. If you haven't seen him yet, check him out at thatguywiththeglasses. Here you go! All that nostalgia you can get in one episode from short Disney Decembers, and up to a nearly 30 minutes epic Moulin Rouge review.
Doug does funny reviews of shows like Doug, LOL. But, he can do serious reviews of movies like Pearl Harbor too. It is here he shines. Doug does not hold back of foul mouthing Pearl Harbour, and looses control again. Here is something for all, but at times not the younger ones because of lots of swearing. Doug reviews everything from live action Disney, and up to Ghost Rider that made Bronies roar. So, I recommend you and your family to see an episode on Youtube now. What Happened To You Man?
This was a change of pace to his regular videos as he would normally only review video games, however, I particularly loved this one video and wish he could have done more like this, or that someone would come around and be The Angry Video Game Nerd of movies. This is what first attracted me to the series when I first discovered it in , and after watching a few episodes I was hooked. That Guy With the Glasses wasn't entertainment being churned out by a corporation or by Hollywood executives, it was entertainment for the people by the people with no concern for financial gain but creating content purely out of passion which could be shared with a mass audience thanks to this thing known as the internet.
I had my own aspirations to be on TGWTG, of course, nothing ever materialized, but to even be a follower of the site it felt like being part of something truly special and unique. Online videos like these have more heart, soul, and personality than contemporary Hollywood blockbusters or anything currently on TV. But let's talk about The Nostalgia Critic. Doug Walker was a natural comedian, he made the art of reviewing while cracking jokes, pop culture references and comedic over reactions look easy.
Surf Ninjas is my favourite NC review, I have watched a good 30 times; a masterpiece of sarcasm. I remember I used to stay up on Tuesday nights to see each new video as soon as it was uploaded and I considered Doug Walker to be one of my comedic influences.
Various ex-fans of The Nostalgia Critic have different dates as to when he went downhill, so I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, was the beginning of the end. Right from the start of , the cracks were showing.
Sequel month was a lazy idea, just rehashing previous review source material, but I presumed this would just be a minor blip. Despite a few good videos over the following year, the quality had declined.
Also while I absolutely adored the two year anniversary special Kickassia, the following anniversary special in Suburban Knights simply wasn't funny, not to mention it felt like a very anti-climatic follow up to Kickassia in which they made the special in cooperation with an actual micro-nation. Going from something as large-scale and ambitious as that to a special filmed is suburban neighborhood felt like a bummer. When Star Trek month rolled around in January I gave up. Now at this point, The Nostalgia Critic's video wasn't awful, but more so just really boring.
I was glad when Doug brought the series to an end in August and began a new project called Demo Reel. Perhaps Demo Reel had potential but what I have watched of it is seriously dull; although at least it was something different and showed Doug didn't want to be The Critic all his life. I haven't seen everything he has done since the series revival but what I have is unbelievably awful.
For this review, I had to try and watch more recent videos of his which I hadn't seen, and doing so was the biggest chore, such a contrast to his older work which had such a natural progression and the best of which were consistently funny from beginning to end. A rundown of the problems with The Nostalgia Critic beginning in and spiraling out of control in Firstly he started going to way of MTV, he's become The Nostalgia Critic in name only.
This problem began in October when he reviewed Exorcist II: The Heretic and Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2; two films totally outside of his territory as there's nothing nostalgic about them to the Critic's target audience.
He once had cut off date of aside from the odd exception , however now it's clear he's run out of nostalgic movies and TV shows from his time frame and now reviews whatever he wants. He was at his best reviewing stupid and nonsensical Movies and TV shows from the 80's and 90's; that was the kind of material that worked best with his brand of humor. His jokes are now forced beyond belief, an example? Not only is this joke shoehorned in out of nowhere, it's creating a situation that doesn't even exist.
After the smash hit original, many audiences didn't get into to the "Here We Go Again" follow-up. Pinky and the Brain Swearing. Maybe I thought he was funny, maybe I thought he was insightful, maybe I was just a sheltered twelve year old who was delighted by the previously-unknown wonders of swearing.

Unfortunately, in the past six months he is getting worse by the day and his reviews are becoming hit or miss recently. Nowadays it seems like he is getting desperate over a joke and its quite clear he is way past his prime now.
Let me enlighten you why these are the 5 Reasons why Doug Walker has become stale as Nostalgia Critic. By mid , Doug was convinced that Nostalgia Critic was beginning to show its age and he was becoming more and more hard up for material, so he decided to bring the show's five-year-long run to a close following the release of To Boldly Flee Teen Titans Go!
