Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Ad_Nauseum So, what did you expect? A bigger and better Nerd episode? Right.. None of the scenes looked anywhere similar - like literally, the whole thing was filmed with 30 different cameras under 100 different lighting conditions! The characters? Only the Nerd is pretty much there, the rest as some nobodies who got invented "on the spot", or so it seems. The storyline? Well the storyline was actually pretty decent, or at least the basic premise was. The acting? The Nerd seems tired and bland throughout the entire movie, like some limp and soulless beta-male.The problem IMHO is that James had too much of an ego. He could have literally shown how it's done even to the likes of Lloyd Kaufman as far as slapstick and way-over-the-top comedy is concerned, but instead it was James' own little ego trip into Hollywood... or at least the closest he could ever get to it. So much so that it ruined the movie.Only thing that could have saved it in a way if he (James, as the Nerd perhaps) would have reviewed it and given it both thumbs down. That way everyone would know that he could suppress his ego. But instead he called all critics "haters". Oh well, very sad, because IMHO from that point on James pretty much went downhill with his entire show.

blumdeluxe First of all I have to confess that I'm a total newbie to the Angry Video Game Nerd. I didn't follow his output and so I'm not familiar with his cosmos and also probably not the core group the movie is aimed at. Nevertheless a good movie in my opinion should always be capable of carrying on at least part of its charm also to outsiders. "Angry Video Game Nerd - The Movie" unfortunately doesn't manage to.It is all settled around the character himself who refuses strongly to review the "worst game of all times" (E.T.) and is tricked into dealing with the topic by a clever company fresh-woman that gives him an opportunity to prove all the myths around the game as lies. Unfortunately, they're not only true but only the starting point to much more sinister and stunning reveals.At times, the movie can be with some right called a slapstick comedy. Sadly, it is more slapstick than comedy, with old gags, mediocre attempts to steal a laugh and absurdity that at some times amuses, at other times just seems strange. Further on, I don't understand the sidekick. I don't know if he's a regular part of the show but in the movie his only task seemed to be to go on the nerves of almost everyone.All in all this was a big homage to a YouTube star. The whole world loves him in this movie, even before he literally saves it. That's maybe a bit too much, even though indeed many people love this guy. It's those people that could like the film. I can imagine if you have a stronger bonding to the character, you probably have more fun with this one. Some of the ideas and gags are actually quite entertaining and you'll probably be willing to forgive more. So if you're a fan, go for it, you will anyway, if not rather pick something else instead.

cemkalo Why even bother to make a movie about a character who curses at old video games? if the makers of it were smart they would have created something new.the whole thing was such a missed opportunity.i mean they could have still used the character in a different context. the storytelling aspect is even worse.if this is supposed to be a comedy then why isn't it even funny? have these people really such a lame sense of humour? this movie is not funny nor entertaining nor does it have any artistic value.so what is the point of it??? in conclusion this entire project was a bad idea and i doubt that they will ever get that much money again to make another one.

scir-69630 Here's the too long didn't read version:Film is based entirely on James self-aggrandizing himself, with nearly every scene showing fans drooling over him. There are also politically correct characters that make no sense (random black guy shows up and a gamer girl who have no connection to the AVGN character or the web show) as well as actions such as in the end when a black guy kisses a white girl. That has NOTHING to do with an angry nerd who plays video games. This movie is awful.Here's the full review:I really think James overdid the AVGN movie. It should have just been a fun comedy movie starring the nerd, Kyle, and Mike. It shouldn't have had all these special effects, giant monsters, and other nonsense. The "girl gamer" and "token black guy" ruined the movie.The movie was made for a 97% white male audience. Stop. Suppress your pavlovian response for a moment and please see the absurdity and unfairness of this. The two main characters were politically correct tokens inserted by some producer, and it ruined the film. AVGN is about Mike, James, and their guests. I still don't know why this side kick just appeared out of no where to puppy dog James around. Why didn't you put Mike here instead? Someone that was actually in the AVGN videos? Instead he's downgraded to a small barely noticeable cameo while some nobody that no one has ever seen or cares about takes his place. If Mike didn't want to do it, then get the guitar guy to be your side kick. At least he was in some of the videos. It makes just as much sense for a partner for James to come along on this adventure. It just reeked of James, and Doug for that matter, being in a meeting and someone going..."look you need to diversify your audience". Which is cool, I could dig on a black dude and a woman side character if they had any history to the nerd and the show. But they didn't. We got them shoved down our throats for the entire film. And COMEDY. James turned this into a B movie action flick. Yes stuff blows up and action is present in AVGN episodes but that's just an afterthought. This entire film is about chases, blowing up stuff, and strange plots instead of video game reviews and how angry he is with game developers and his gaming experience.I was enjoying the first half, but then they brought in this retarded looking green puppet and giant monster out of no where for no logical reason within the plot. The plot went from being silly to entirely nonsensical on a whim because they didn't know any restraint or focus much on the writing. As soon as the general nukes the mountain(again for no reason once so ever), that's when this movie spirals straight downhill. They just crammed in as much as they could for the sake of special effects... kind of like the modern CGI movies he's bashing in the first place. The plot should have shown more restraint and just used a guy in an alien suit with no magical out of no where giant monster senselessly smashing around. But James, loving godzilla, couldn't help but try to make a monster movie as well, even when it doesn't belong in the movie he went through all the trouble of shoving it into.The WORST parts about this film? The parts that make me CRINGE?? Here are a few:In the beginning, when James is at the video store, a gamer guy comes up to him and James refuses to sell him a crappy game, so he spits on it. Then, the gamer guy gets all giddy and says "I can't wait to tell my friends I bought a game that AVGN spit on." Come on now. Are you that concerned about inflating your ego so much? This was awful.At the end, when the black kid kisses the white girl and the politically correct crowd goes ga-ga. Uh, this is not a rom-com or some take your gf out movie where there's a happily ever after. This is a movie about an angry gamer who wants to rant. Why is this scene even here? It's a real shame Kevin Finn was allowed to co-write the film and tamper with what the plot was going to be. Finn totally ruined what made the show so good by trying to make it go Hollywood.
