Reviews WebVideo / The Nostalgia Critic

A good series with funny humor.

I will admit that the first time I've ever heard of That Guy With The Glasses was in a Power Rangers messageboard. In a way, I'm glad that I am along for the ride.

Out of the website and Doug Walker's characters, I'm reviewing the famous Nostalgia Critic. While sometimes he wouldn't do the research, it still doesn't bug me too much. At least one funny/memorable part comes from all his reviews, be they the Bat-Credit Card from Batman And Robin or the Gainax Ending from The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.

And most of the reviews of the stuff we might have watched as a kid (come on, who doesn't remember watching Full House and not being aware of how sugar-coatingly crappy that was?) are spot-on. He even points out the things we might have missed, the hypocrisy of some films (Pokemon: The First Movie has him pointing out the "Aesop" and bashing it excellently—while that in itself was an echo to Dogasu's review of the same film, I will save it for another time), and how some parts are not made for kids with the Catch Phrase, "You know, for kids!" Also, I will give him props for, like The Angry Video Game Nerd and Linkara, reviewing obscure stuff—I did not know that there was an animated Titanic movie, a movie with all gross-out humor (The Garbage Pail Kids Movie), or a freaking concert involving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

If I had to find a hint of criticism, it would have to be this: it's worrying whether or not the guy survives with everyone requesting him to do horrible shows/films. While they do give him a break (I think Gargoyles might have been a fan request, but I really don't know for sure), some of the stuff were horrendously bad. It's a miracle that he manages to survive.

Overall, though, That Guy With The Glasses is a good web site, and the Nostalgia Critic is good at what he does—reviews (mostly) bad stuff from our childhood and remembers it so we don't have to. And, in my eyes, he succeeds.
