I was wondering how this is nostalgic in any way but then realized it's just over 10 years old (IIRC) and that could be seen as nostalgic to some out there and then I cried because I'm almost 40 and am old now.

He still doesn't get it

The skits/cutaways suck and he just can't deal with that. He's not as clever as he thinks when it comes to writing sketches. He and his actors just simply aren't funny performers. Combine that with the unfunny writing and it's just...bad. Just corny ass humor.

For all his poking at 'oh the past was worse' and such, um, sorry Doug; all in all it was more entertaining on a regular basis.
Edit: Got to the part where he's using 'past him' as an avatar for people that don't like the skits and bailed. Was a decent review till round there. And is the major complaint "the skits don't have to do with the movies"? Cuz, for me personally it's always been that a lot of times they're not very good. I even like the actors, it's just much of the time they don't have much to work with.

Don't tell me I was the only one thinking this was one of those Eddie Murphy in a fat suit movies.

Whats weird is that AVGN has done the opposite of what the critic has done. Many AVGN vids from around 06-09 were skit heavy, but his newest ones are more back to basics (the movie aside).

When he was riffing on how bad the movie was I was paying rapt attention, but anything involving the bits involving past him and I tuned right out. There's a huge difference between evolving one's craft and completely changing one's craft so that it no longer resembles the original concept.

Yeah, Critic really should not have taken a shot at his own critics for very valid critiques. Yes, we don't want everything to be like the past reviews. But don't go too far out of the way to be a different show like your Hocus Pocus review did.
Funny thing is Brad Jones aka the Cinema Snob probably has evolved better than both the Critic. Will the Snob do skits at times? Of course....but they don't feel intrusive to the overall review.

Oh, sure, there's no real artistic merit to conveniently placed film clips and in-jokes, but they're better than Doug's cutaway sketches.
At least the former is quick and painless; the latter is several minutes of grown men and women dancing around in bad costumes to hammer home a point Doug had already made succinctly. I don't even miss a bunch of his old in-jokes...it's just that the sketches are that bad.
But hey, y'know, a man's got to stick to his guns.

Honestly I don't see it being long until he just flat out pulls the plug on everything because people don't understand his "creative genius".

Was going to watch this, but it seems like he took down the video. Not seeing it there. I do agree though. If he pulls the plug on everything, he's going to blame everyone but himself for it.

I think part of the problem is that by the time Doug even gets to a lot of this material, it's been covered by several different online personalities and, aside from the awful skits, it's not like Doug does anything particularly different with his reviews.
