I just can't take this guy anymore.

James and the Giant Peach barley focused on the movie itself and more on Randy Newman's mere involvement with the project and the general weirdness of the thing (which being a movie based on a Rhold Dahl book it should be expected). He ignored moments in the movie and ignored plot points to make it seem worse than it actually was

Jurassic Park was just an attempt to drive views up, no real reason to review it other than to make people check it out out of curiosity. Also the nonsensical hatred of Jeff Goldblum is annoying as all hell and the 'Mother F'ing T-Rex song is just awful. The T-Rex is badass incarnate, it doesn't need some generic rock song to emphasize that.

Jurassic Park 3 was also a poor attempt at getting views up. He had no real interest in reviewing it, people just wanted him to review it so he did, in a very lazy and generic way. Seriously, the only thing that separated this review from a random review of the movie on YouTube is the skits.

A.I. make Doug out to be such a huge Kubrick fanboy I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he goes to Kubrick's grave once a year and leaves flowers on his grave like that Edgar Allen Poe thing. There's really mean spiritied hatred of TMZ fans (I have no idea what TMZ is at all, some kind of tabloid news show, but its fans do not deserve the mockery here) Plus the stupid mockery of Spielberg's directing style. One must wonder if somebody mocked Kubrick's style would Doug stand for it?

Pearl Harbor was just a hate video on Michael Bay. NO rhyme, no reason to it, just stupid, blind hatred for a man Doug Walker hates for no true given reason other than 'his movies ruin our brains' bull crap. Critical research failure on part of Doug, who later excused his rant quite flimsily.

Man of Steel is bad because its just an impasse. Doug Hates the movie and isn't willing to listen to other's opinions of it (watch some of the Avatar and Adventure Time V-Logs, he brings Man of Steel up for absolutely no reason at all sometimes but his brother more so). It's just ranting about how much Christopher Nolan is pretentious, the product placement, and the fact that a city gets leveled. It's just boring all around, not helped by the stupid music video in the front of it.

Patch Addams is just pretentious whining about how much Robin Williams sucks (quite ironic how he doesn't think that now that Williams is gone from us huh?) and just whining about how unfaithful it is to real life. The movie isn't good at all, but this video was just annoying.

The Haunting was just plain childish. It was nothing but 'They Changed it so it sucks' rants. And that stupid, stupid, stupid tantrum he threw towards the end of the video was god awful, embarrassing, and just plain dumb. Also I found it ironic he never ranted about how the Wicker Man changed from its source material, despite the fact it is much more popular and beloved than the Haunting ever was.

Sailor Moon... really? I have to explain why the Sailor Moon video was bad? Really? Okay. Let's start with the sexism. He says that little girls wouldn't be interested in a Star Wars-esque epic. *facepalm* (What makes it worse is that only a few years ago there was a huge uproar over a little girl being beaten up because she loved Star Wars, not to mention how insulting it is to the legions of female Star Wars fans), he got multiple facts wrong: Jedite was killed off fairly early on, the animation in the intro is from the show, Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon do learn each other's identities in the first season, and too many for me to list. I'm not even a fan of Sailor Moon, I just barley remember it from my childhood and even I know he got a lot of stuff wrong. There's a stupid tangent on Japanese consent laws (which he got wrong, the consent is only for someone in the teenage age group and its still illegal for an adult to have sexual relations with someone under eighteen. Hell America has a bigger problem with underage sex than Japan does.) He criticized the censoring of the two sailor scouts who were lesbians despite the fact that cartoons today can't have gay characters in them (the only one I'm aware of that does have gay characters is Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated and even then they still couldn't say that they were lesbians) and note that this is in a 2013 cartoon while Sailor Moon is from the early nineties, do you expect them to air something generally frowned upon back then without being taken off the air? Plus the living dick joke is just... just no. No. No. He shouldn't have done Sailor Moon if he was gonna half ass it so badly (not even half ass it, quarter ass it I guess). He should've done something else, or have a Sailor Moon fan like Linkara join him if he was gonna do it. What's worse is that he ignored all the backlash he got over it. He just laughed it off with 'I love me some hate!' like a friggin' moron. Let's take something like Blade Runner for example, I really don't like that movie, but a lot of people do so I'm not going to tear into it because I know it'll start fights and protests and pointing out things I got wrong so I don't review it. Doug Walker has not learned that if something is beloved as it is, stay the hell away from it. And to make matters worse the video was incredibly insulting to Sailor Moon and anime fans everywhere.

I don't mind if Doug Walker voices his opinions, but his opinions aren't informed ones. He can voice his opinions, but he needs to be more subtle about it and not shove it down people's throats.

"I absolutely adore movies. Even bad ones......A good bad movie is a great movie" - Roddy McDowall

For me, the episode "Dawn of the Commercials" was one of the last straws. Well, maybe I won't go that far, but it was definitely when I started to lose faith. I mean, the reviews before that (I mean the reviews after the 2013 comeback) were disappointing. Although they weren't horrible, I did feel that there was something missing from them. Then, when I saw that Doug was doing another commercials episode, I was excited because I thought this would be his comeback. It wasn't; the episode was a letdown.

However, I would say that for me, the episode that was almost the last straw was Eight Crazy Nights. After that episode, I lost a lot of faith in him. It was just awful to watch.

So now, I don't know why I keep hoping. I'm still waiting for that one good review that will make me say, "Nostalgia Critic is back". But I've almost stopped caring about Doug, which is sad, because I used to really like Nostalgia Critic. Granted, I still watch the old episodes (pre-2013 comeback), and his editorials and Top 11 lists are still good (and no, I didn't bother watching the "Top 11 Dumbest Lord of the Rings Moments" video because it just seemed like a stupid idea to begin with, so I'm not counting that one), but I tend to skip the reviews now, because I feel like I've given Doug almost enough chances to come back, and he hasn't done it.

Yeah, the episode Thomas and the Magic Railroad is one old episode that I didn't like that much. I grew up with the show Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, and I enjoyed it a lot, so to hear Doug say things like, "It's Thomas the *beep* Tank Engine. You don't have to try to act well" (that might not be the exact quote) was quite horrible for me to hear. He also neglected to mention that the show was based on a children's series of short stories, so the show and characters does deserve some respect. I really don't understand why Doug trashes the show so much (he did it again in the review for Son of the Mask), especially if he hasn't even seen it.

I do have one question for you though. Doug reviewed Pokémon: The First Movie without seeing the show first. What did you think of that episode? I think the episode worked because Doug was not so mean-spirited towards the show that it was based on. That's why I don't get so upset that he didn't watch the show first. I don't know; what do you think?

I agree with you clarkm29. I prefer to see Doug interacting with the other reviewers (eg. his review of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace with Linkara is one of my favourites. I just love the way they play off each other. And the jokes were hilarious). I wish to add as well that I thought that the Old vs. New Spiderman episode could have been better if Doug had done it with Lewis Lovhaug (Linkara) rather than with Tamara. I think that Linkara could have added more input, since he is the comic book reviewer. I mean, the episode wasn't awful; I just think it could have been better.

Cat in the Hat was OK, but it dragged with the sketches.

Moulin Rogue was basically Walker complaining about how fast paced the editing was and how over the top it is, really just him trying to make sense of something that he doesn't get the appeal of.

The Shinning review was him showing how much of a Stanley Kubrick fan he is, quite like in his A.I. review. He just took apart the mini-series and the novel and painted Stephen King as some kind of bitter and ignorant man who didn't know how to tell a better story than Kubrick. He even brought up that King liked Death Race and 2012 when really why should that information have mattered in the first place? To make it seem like King has no taste or something? King has written some of the greatest American novels of all-time and has read more books, seen more films, and watched more TV than most people probably would in their lifetime. That he liked two movies, which he never described either as being great, proves nothing but that Walker was just trying to find ways to pick at the man. King did not favor Kubrick's version of his story, if he has a problem with someone and their adaptation of his work he has every right to dislike it. Review could've been okay if it was structured differently.

The Purge...Why bother? It was only a year old. Hardly nostalgic.

One thing I did not like about the newer episodes is that, at least for me, it seems that Doug complains more about how movies should be made. Movies shouldn't do this, movies should be like that ect.
In the older episodes he watches some trashy movies and leaves some sarcastic remark which was much more entertaining than the lessons from newer episodes.

But I have to say, both Ghost Rider Reviews and Blood Rayne where pretty good episodes. And I like the "What you never knew" Episodes.
