Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
ofpsmith If you're a fan of the Nostalgia Critic, or any of the other Channel Awesome critics, the chances are you will like this pretty well. This movie is filled with jokes and it's one big satire of multiple movies. The Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker) gets together all the reviewers of Channel Awesome to search for a treasure in this big role playing game put together by a nerd named Chuck Jaffers (Rob Walker). With all the reviewers dressed as fantasy characters and almost non-stop in-jokes, Suburban Knights pretty much spoofs the fantasy genre, and eventually itself. You really have to be a fan of Channel Awesome to get everything, but if you are you'll most likely find this incredibly funny. I highly recommend this to the fans.
TheFlyingMustache For me, the one thing that plagued the last film TGWTG did ("Kickassia") was that after the second part, it just went no where. "Suburban Knights" on the other hand actually progressed into a film that had an interesting beginning, an enjoyable middle, and a satisfying ending.There are quite a few jokes taken from other movies (and some added upon in ways that sort of ruin them) but mostly it brings its own bag of laughter throughout. Of course it's nothing spectacular as this is clearly a low budget movie, but it's a watchable film.The acting is fair, the special effects are low budget but acceptable, and I hope they improve upon this one and do an even better anniversary film next year.7/10
sigginike90 What is more ironic then a an Internet movie reviewer that fails at acting, directing, comic timing, editing, special effects, regular timing, scenery, comedic events and putting two movies together for hundreds of thousands of Internet money?Nothing.Why these people would show off how untalented they are is beyond my imagination. I can't even grasp why any of these individuals thought it was a good idea to use their real names and be forever connected to this crap.Maybe they are going to be Internet reviewers forever? Maybe they think this is some way to jump start their "careers" or maybe their ego is so inflated that they actually can't see how abysmal this is....
pick_bass It is fair to say that the reviewers of TGWTG are above average when it comes to cinematic knowledge...nostalgia and what makes a good movie overall. Most of them have provided us with their own Top 10 Movies and give clear reasons for each title. But for a group of people who make a living off of reviewing movies and explaining what needs improving, it surprises me how little of this advice they use on their own work, practice what you preach. It would also be fair to jump to the conclusion that the team just make movies for the comedy and not exactly for the art of film-making as a whole, however this should not be used as defence...although movies are a business, I would not believe for a second that at least a few of the movies these guys have criticised in their reviews were also made for the sake of comedy or fun and not the art of cinema.The first act shows hope...we get to see all of our familiar friends in comical fantasy outfits...a couple come as a pleasant surprise but each character comes with a joke...and note that I said 'a' joke...not plural. Over the course of the whole movie we have to endure the same character-specific jokes, perhaps told in a slightly different way. It does not help that many of the reviewers are not experienced actors and thus makes the movie slightly cringe-worthy to watch at times.Storywise I suppose that it has some originality to it, and the villain has good dialogue, a decent performance, martial arts skills and a surprising lack of screen time which makes us want to see more of him given that he is our most interesting character...but sadly this all falls flat when the actual character goes against everything he is fighting for, just for the sake of a joke in the movie (he is passionate about his hatred of technology yet it is revealed that he uses an i-phone).Now you probably think that I hated this...but I actually enjoyed it, and looked forward to seeing each part the next again day upon release. It is just that as a whole it is not something i would have wanted to sit down and watch the full version of, because of its simple-paced plot and forced repetitive jokes. It really did just seem like a movie which was more concerned about seeing everybody from the website on screen together (including other cameos) more than it was focusing on making a watchable movie. Very average camera-work, bad sound quality and cheap effects...but all this aside, actually check it out! Its fun to watch if you are a fan but from a production side of cinema it is very poor.
