Anyone else miss NC withOUT the skits or extra cast? Just him. He’s so funny and he doesn’t need a cast. Man I haven’t laughed this hard at his reviews in years. I had to go back to remember how good we had it before the demo reel garbage.
His older stuff is vastly better imo. Definitely like it better without the added cast, skits etc
Tamera and Malcom are honestly okay but I wish sometimes the Critic would go back to solo reviews. Which he does here and there to be fair but I do miss the old vibes of these. Reminds me of the golden age of youtube where him and the AVGN were always on the front page.
The skits aren’t always great but some of them are good I like Malcolm and Tamara.
@@madsfrederiktoft5808 Kind of what happened to Simpsons, for instance. The animation got more fluid(which turned out to be a bad thing overall because it lost all the cartoonish quality it had), the voice actors got so familiar with the characters that they started doing them without any passion, and the writing got horrendously awful.
Same as with NC. Reviews got more analytical and professional, there are more acting and characters, but nothing is funny anymore because the writing is just not there.
Up until 2011,i honestly thought that James Rolfe was in this movie...
MrVogel115 for a certain amount of time, I thought Luke Edwards WAS AVGN.
The batman theme goes so well with the dad and the brother.
The reveal of Jimmy becoming the Angry Video Game Nerd still gets me to this day.
This was back when the Nostalgia Critic/AVGN rivalry was all a buzz on the internet.
How CZcams times have changed...
Fun fact: The actor for Mr Putman was actually George Lucas's second choice for Luke Skywalker behind Mark Hamill. Imagine how much different his career would have gone if he got that role.
Honestly, at first glance, I thought it was Joe Pantoliano.
Best ending of an NC review ever. NEEEEERD!!
@@christopherarcher5271 Nope. It was just a trick to bring Rolfe up in order to fuel their playful rivalry. Hence why he said how 'playing video games all the time would never amount to anything' or something along those lines, as opposed to 'I bet this actor never got to play a big role after that', like he did for the others.
I just checked and this movie of FRED AND BEN SAVAGE was filmed at 1989 the sametime the wonder years tv show!!! Awnd he and his brother talked strange not like real kids maybe because of the talking habit of the wonder years and the way they were talking there!!! Who can really understand the reason !!! Some people even make fun of BEN SAVAGE and SAY HE is AUTIST !!!
I find it hilarious that "bad" has gone back to it's original definition so the power glove scene has ended up incredibly dated and is now true, the Power glove is bad.
I can't believe they thought people would continue to say "bad" and mean it's good. That is incredibly short-sighted writing.
Lobstromonous Entertainment Well... They didn't plan on writing a timeless masterpiece. Only a glorified commercial trying to show how trendy they were.
Lobstromonous Entertainment As the AVGN amply demonstrated, much to our amusement. :)
Lobstromonous Entertainment Eh, in two hundred years the dialogue in this movie will sound "Shakespearean" anyway.
well my friends and I still say bad and mean good so i dunno what you are talking about.
I remember seeing this in theaters with friends, it was a slog to get through, but then when we saw Super Mario Bros 3 we felt like it paid off. When we left though one of my friends brought up if SMB3 is new how did the girl know about the warp whistle secret. That left us scratching our heads for a few days.
Not saying it's a good movie with actual logic, but also they had called the Hotline and had been looking at various cheat codes and strategies to help Jimmy with other games. She may have just guessed (figuring the star was important) and lucky for her, she was right.
The game had been out for quite some time in Japan. The magazine or the hotline could have given it away
It's so funny that none of the kids realized you can use a Warp Whistle ON the Warp Screen, which will instantly Warp you to World 8. This can be done immediately after the 1st Fortress, which can be the 3rd level played. Lol imagine lagging behind a bit so nobody steals your strategy, then totally blowing minds with the Double Warp Whistle straight to the end of the game. 😅
Lucas must be pretty damn good at games if he was able to get the power-glove to work.
That's why everybody was so hard on the Power Glove. They just weren't Lucas, and the Power Glove was MADE for Lucas.
fuckin love this review because of lucas chica chiga
This. This right here is VINTAGE Nostalgia Critic. It's got a special place in my heart. His overdramatic reactions are perfect.
Yeah, laugh at Lucas' prowess with the Power Glove all you want, NC. Considering how badly that thing sucked, Lucas' mastery of it IS the stuff of legend. ...Then again, Red Racer was pretty much the only game that seems to WORK with the Power Glove, so... hmm... What was my point again?
Can you imagine the strings that would need to be pulled for a major video game like Super Mario Bros 3 to be held in complete secrecy until this movie's release if it were made nowadays?
"I love the power glove. It's so bad." How right he was.
@Brian Carter honestly due to it's design I'd say the power glove would work better as a glove piece for a sci fi costume than it would would as a game system
I like how Fred savage at the end, during the super mario part says, "find the warp"!. How did he know there was a warp if he had never seen the game before??? I've never noticed that until now...
what a great time to re upload this review. Since (when the time this video was post) the Nintendo World Champonchips 2015 just happened.
On an all night binge watch of Nostalgia Critic, season 1 though 10. WHO IS WITH ME?!!?
13:02 - HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT!! SUPER MARIO BROS 3!!
14:58 "Watching someone on a screen really makes you root for them." ~Dr. Alphys
14:40 IF JIMMY SPOKE UP ABOUT THIS PLACE, THIS MOVIE WOULD BE HALF OVER
CAWWEFORNYA!
To be fair, Super Mario Bros. 3 is generally considered to be one of the greatest video games ever made.
"A boy defeats a girl at a video game? Stop the presses!" lmao
"Its definitely much more fun playing the games than actually watching others play the games." According to PewdePie and Markipkiers subscription count.... yeah...
That and others don't have the cash to buy the game or the game is exclusive to another console and you know the list goes on and on.
AnimeAmericaPodcast Please learn to read the description! :D
(Not to mention the fact that he also said that as a joke.)
Monkey D Luffy That is complete bullshit. I can guarantee almost all of those people who watch can afford video games. I cannot understand how anybody can even stand listening to obnoxious fucks like Pewdiepie and Markiplier. I used to be an avid 'Let's Play' lover. I honestly only watched for the person, and that got boring after a while. I can thank 1 minute of a Pewdiepie video for finally making me realize that what I was doing was retarded and pointless, therefore I started playing my own games.
jorrogboe 6-12 year olds. They make up the loin's share of those guys' subs.
Only other movie I've seen Luke Edwards in was Little Big League. Which ironically is about a kid who inherited the Minnesota Twins. When I say ironic I mean Luke plays a kid who isn't shy in the least and can really act for a kid.
Fun fact both Tobey Maguire and Dante Basco are in this movie. Unfortunately Basco are in deleted scenes. Basco we all know went on to play Rufio in hook and Prince Zuko in Avatar.
It’s weird that Fred Savage is playing a character name Cory when his brother Ben Savage is going to play a character name Cory.
I still love the Nostalgia Critic, but I forgot how much better his old material was...
I have been watching him for years and every winter enjoyed his commercial reviews. The last two were not as good though.
This probably sounds weird, but Lucas having all of the games that existed for that system at the time in addition to the various paraphernalia to go with it makes me think his parents bought this stuff to buy his affection because they likely don't spend enough time actually raising him.
I've known people who grew up this way and sometimes it can carry over into adulthood. In Lucas' case, it's possible that he may bully others because it's the only way he can get any kind of attention from anyone he can in order to attempt in vain to replace the lack of affection and guidance that his parents don't provide.
@@androshchukx I'm glad you found it worthwhile. I hope that you're doing well and that good things always come your way :)
A donald trump joke in 2008
ɷɷ I Haveee Watchedd This Moviee Leakeddd Version Hereee : - t.co/NdLgwVlw7a
He made another DT joke in a previous review, can't remember which one but it was before this review.
They guy who played Lucas is actually a convicted sex offender now. Seriously.
No verification that it's even the same person. Charges are verified, though. Sexual misconduct with multiple
children below the age of 11. Which is pretty bad.
But there's a person named Dwayne Johnson on the sex offender registry too lol (among many other familiar names).
It's a bad idea to jump to conclusions and assume it's the same guy.
but everything you see on the internet needs to be taken with a grain of salt
I hope we get Lucas as a DLC character for Super Smash Bros.
***** No! That Lucas is a chump compared to Lucas in The Wizard! His power glove...It's so bad...
Because when we think Nintendo, we think of a fun and exciting story about coping with the tragic and traumatic loss of a child's life and the emotionally scarring effects it has on those who remain, even sending them into an almost catatonic state to the point where they are kept in a mental facility.
NINTENDO: NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH COMPLEX SUBJECT MATTERS WAY ABOVE YOUR ABILITIES AS FILM MAKERS.
I bought this movie on DVD years ago. It was a nostalgia overload broke out my Mario Brothers All-Stars and played for hours. This movie is cheesy but I love it it's a big chunk of my childhood
Not gonna lie I actually think that the ending is actually quite touching
WAIT A MINUTE! WTH! WHO GREEN LIT THE OLD MAN IN THE SPEEDO?! Best moment in the review for me. I love the older reviews.
"You know what's missing? An old man's package! That will provide some much needed drama!" I love the way he says that line.
Dat plot twist tho XD
15:48 *OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!*
15:28
In retrospect, this one moment until the end is like...The Nick Fury in Iron Man 1 of the internet.
The mention of Batman in the first episode of Superman The Animated Series.
Freddy's glove rising from the dirt to drag Jason into Hell in Friday the 13th Part 9.
...Anyone got any more examples?
Is it weird that I cried the first few times I watched this movie? I felt so bad for jimmy and kind of related to
him (I’m autistic) and his story with his sister made me so sad
I actually remember visiting those dinosaurs that were at the end of the movie. They were on the way back from my grandparents house (they lived 16 hours away) and we would go see the dinosaurs every time we visited our grandparents.
Clearly Nostalgia Critic was ahead of its time with Donald Trump jokes. (4:24)
15:28 literally the funniest thing to ever come from this channel
I found this movie one day, randomly playing on TV and could only remember the boy saying California, him being autistic, his twin sister drowning, and the game competition. Oh, and the girl saying she was sexually assaulted.
It was odd but I loved it.
Look at those awesome video game graphics!
"It's so bad."
Is it weird I consider this movie to be one of my all time favorites? I loved it as a kid and I still do now. Still love this review too, lol.
"professional child catcher"
should i sound *the* alarm?
10:31-Fire Emblem Awakening, Fates, Three Houses and Engage in a nutshell. Especially when you try to romance such jailbait characters like Lissa, Nowi, Sakura, Elise, Nyx, Flayn, Sothis, Lysithea, Petra (15), and 90 percent of the Engage characters who look like children.
@@MILDMONSTER1234 True, only for both Fire Emblem Fates, Three Houses and Engage. But I think that Dragon Age Origins, 2 and Inquisition, Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2 and the Mass Effect Trilogy does the whole LGBT stuff a lot better.
A little surprised the actor for Lucas wasn't talked about more in this. If you didn't know, he went to prison for Child Molestation
Anyone notice Toby McGuire at 6:48 with an 80's mullet?
Christ, I WAS FROZEN TODAY!
That Donald Trump joke absolutely hilarious especially considering now.
Yeah. Considering he’s the greatest president of our lifetimes who’s getting stuff done and is cleaning up Washington. He’s only impeded by the do-nothing Democrats who have pursued a witch hunt investigation, set about on overturning the results of the 2016 Election and removing an innocent, democratically elected President.
I absolutely adore pre-presidential Donald Trump jokes. They've aged so well.
I wonder what people would think if you told them in the 2000s that Trump would become president.
That announcer guy is like a combo of Christopher Lloyd and Guy Pearce. Super funny AND super flamboyant. Ultimately amazing.
This was the only movie I went to as a kid to see the product placement
10:36 Crazy fact: The actor that played Lucas ended up sentenced to 10 years probation for child molestation and had to register as a sex offender.
15:54 NEEEEEEEERD!!!
Fun fact:
I had a bully who was torturing me all day at a lake on a rec trip. The counselors didn't give a shit even if you told them and I ended up with my arm rubbed raw from the Indian rope burns the bully gave me.
He laughed at the end of the day and told me he was looking forward to continuing to make my life hell by doing this all summer.
I snapped at that point, and waited until he was coming back from the bathroom, screamed at the top of my lungs, pointed to him and said that famous pedophilia line as loud as I could.
He never even looked at me the rest of the summer. Well, after the counselors were done yelling at him.
Watching old Nostalgia Critic episodes and that Donald Trump joke is now very awkward
So is the "Nintendo: Now you're playing with Pedophilia. And that's just wrong." because of the whole Lucas' actor being arrested for kiddie porn or something like that.
12:10 fun fact there’s the Young Tobey Maguire on the left in an unspoken cameo/extra before he became a spider-man star.
I thought that the AVGN was The Wizard...until I remembered that IMDB exists. So...for, like, twenty seconds. Tops.
Anyone else love it when the Batman theme plays if the dad and son are on the screen? I love it :)
Funny he didn't mentioned Rain Man since both movies concern a mentally disabled brothers, yet a savant in a skill. Tom Cruise and Fred Savage played a sane and caring brother while Dustin Hoffman and Luke Edwards played a mentally disabled. Raymond from Rain Man is good with card counting, giving the advantage with blackjack, while Jimmy from the Wizard is very skilled with video gaming. Very coincidental how the two movies played out with similar premises.
That Super Mario Bros 3 reveal is always hilarious. I watch this video mainly for that.
I love the Power Glove...
It so...BAD!
That's the best catchphrase ever I heard.
Nintendo, it makes want to crash into People.
NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH VEHICULAR MAN SLAUGHTER. lol
Being nostalgic about old NC episodes. Oh, the irony
Screw this movie, I will never to the end of my life get _"Cawifornyuh"_ out of my head.
7:11 hey there's Spiderman (Toby Maguire)...... the boy in pink right beside the person in red not the one behind him who also wearing pink
Was that ending a joke, or is the AVGN the grown-up kid in this movie? o.o;;
It was part of an ongoing joke that NC and the AVGN were in a feud and the Nerd kept sending the Nostalgia Critic cryptic messages telling him how much he sucked.
1:11 まるで仮面ライダーブラックのエンディング曲がこれ
Uh...Hailey wasn't 'running away'. She was on her way back home to Reno. Doesn't matter. Excellent review. I love this movie.
That sweet sweet Adam West Batman reference made me smile more than the whole video so far lol I needed that giggle
is it me or does this movie completely lack the color green?
What are you talking about? I see lots of things in this movie with the color green. The trees, for example.
@@ShyGuy83 Well, not much of it. And what few green it had seems washed off. Probably a color balance problem? The Woody Woodpecker live action movie has the opposite problem.
That “NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!” At the end 😂
12:10 Tobey Maguire with mullet
Kind of insane Nintendo has it's own land in Universal now.
I saw this as a kid soon as it was out on Pay Per View (luckily we didn't pay for it we were staying at an uncle's lake cabin and he had a black box that unlocked everything) and just found it depressing. Didn't watch it again until the Rifftrax for it came out, but even with the jokes it was still a little too depressing for me.
Have you ever noticed that Fred Savage is only ever named Corey?! Even as a grown-up?!
am i the only one who thinks if Doug's channel wasn't keep getting deleted, he would pass pewdiepie right now? or atleast AVGN?
***** League Of Super Critics is completely controlled by Blip and Maker. That's why it is dead. Cause Doug doesn't control the uploads on there. Hope they learned their lesson and try to lay off the sponsors.
You know, when people imagine Nintendo characters as part of a cinematic universe, they see the game cube as the infinity gauntlet. But wouldn’t the power glove be more appropriate?
Old Nostalgia Critic reviews > Nostalgia Critic reviews when he started doing the sketches.
Dude.
That ending at the dinosaur attraction was hella touching and sweet and was really played well by the characters...
Funny ass review, otherwise though...
LUCAS!!
(Chicka chickaaaaa)
This movie should get a part 2 when there all grown up james can be the kid mike should play his older bro and boosey should be lucas 👏🏾😄
That ending will remain hilarious forever
I just realised that Lucas from Mother 3 was probably named after Lucas from this movie, since Ninten and Ness were also named after nintendo stuff.
OH MY GOD THAT ENDING!
Jimmy grew up to write lyrics for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers
if people haven't made at least one meme out of Lucas.....then I have no hope for humanity
Going off of the joke about the actors having suprisingly successful careers, one of the extras was FUCKING SPIDERMAN. At 12:10, the kid on the left with the mullet is 13 year old Tobey Maguire.
14:58 Yeah, that'll never be a thing.
Why didn't Critic talk about the part where Send Me An Angel by Real Life plays?
Despite the crap this movie got, you have to admit, the build up and introduction of SMB3 was just awesome.
I love that Toby Maguire is just a back round character at the Tournament w/ Lucas. Not even 15 years later he's god damn spiderman. That is freaking hilarious.
@Frogger I’m missed the part where that’s our problem
@Frogger no u
I not cited Toby and I laughed so hard
back...round?
Oh my God, 33 years later I finally got to know :O
