Film: Free Willy (1993)

This review contains examples of:

  • Artistic License – Biology: In the Free Willy review, Critic alludes to whale as a fish.
  • Award-Bait Song: The Critic mulls that perhaps the film's only selling point is its theme song, Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There".
  • Running Gag:
    • Critic getting increasingly annoyed by Willy's high-pitched whine and comparing it to something.
    • The villain eating the popcorn menacingly while "Dramatic Impact 3" is dubbed over the film.
  • Sequel Hook:
    Critic: But like I said, it's not a terrible movie. I mean, it's not as bad as something like "A Troll in Central P—" NOPE! Nope, nope, nope, I know how this works. Yeah, if I say the entire title, that means that I have to review it next week. Yeah, I know this joke. Yeah, I'm not doing it. Mmm-mmm. There is no way that you’re gonna get me to say "A Troll in Central Park." ("Next week: A Troll in Central Park") FUUUUUUUUU—!
  • So Okay, It's Average: In-Universe. His ultimate verdict on the film, saying it's neither remarkable nor anything close to the worst thing he's ever reviewed.
