Okay…there's just one thing I gotta see after seeing this; your comments
Seriously, your comment tracks are usually a full fledged production on it's own even if it's just a running audio of you talking about nothing. mainly I just wanna hear your thoughts on the movie and the whole process about your bit in this

filmguy450 February 3, 2010 at 11:58 pm

Haha! That was epic level brilliance! I do hope that Spoony-Truel (sp?) becomes a recurring character!

SoldierHawk February 4, 2010 at 2:49 am

I second the call for a commentary track! Especially if Doug can get in on it too!

Great job as always Spoony. Those “emoting lessons” had me rolling in the aisles!

I think the critic works better with legitimately nostalgic material…but I've actually seen this so I still enjoyed it. Spoony really was the funniest part though.

Spoony's…ACTING!!

thedeviot February 5, 2010 at 3:51 am

Oh. My. God. I've never laughed so hard in my life.
This was even better than the Warrior Spot a few Atop the fourth walls ago.
Kudos.
That was just…..
Wow.

OMG Noah, you made me laugh for 10 minutes with your “To be, or not to BEE!!!” and believe me, it's not that easy to make me laugh xD Thank you man, you made my day :)

theshamster February 5, 2010 at 5:30 am

You and doug should release a out-takes and bloopers video of this review.

I tried to imitate your “I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeealy angry” scene and when you held the “eeee”….I coult only last 5 seconds before bursting out laughing.

You really should become an professional film and stage actor.

theshamster February 5, 2010 at 5:33 am

I think I saw the 'exploding neck collar' on another film called “The Running Man” which is far more interesting than this pile of horse shit.

MFlorian February 5, 2010 at 12:53 pm

Oh dear god, I saw Battlefield Earth in the theater. I didn't remember it being that bad. It was some time ago, though. Maybe I was just blocking it out or something.

markseif February 5, 2010 at 2:08 pm

Lazy Upload As Usual. My Previous Comment On Your Last Upload Never Saw The Public Eye. How interesting Spoony; Anyways Do Something You Said You Would On Your “To Do” List. I Love Your Updates With Excuses =)

Matthew Hill February 5, 2010 at 4:26 pm

Spoony, you made that review worth it!

memph February 5, 2010 at 6:47 pm

My Main Man SpoonyOne,

you never let me down.

Fools!!
before you even learned to spell your name…….

you really did steal the show spoony.

keep up the good work!

Ruby Dynamite February 5, 2010 at 8:34 pm

Learn to capitalize properly.

Also stop failing to troll. When Spoony has time, he'll get to the stuff on his list.

Drach February 6, 2010 at 1:12 am

lol, great work, Noah.

alfredmordeir February 6, 2010 at 4:43 am

I liked your Howard Stern costume, Spoony, but you did the voice all wrong.

JeffGilbert February 6, 2010 at 6:19 am

The highlight: Spoony as Terl doing Hamlet! (There's a sentence I never thought I'd type.)

leon101 February 6, 2010 at 8:48 am

lol, “To beeee… or not to BEEE!”

thatrussianguy February 6, 2010 at 10:45 am

Excellent review but imagine of Spoony's (Terl's) last word was 'PHANTASMAGORIA!'

Havoc February 6, 2010 at 11:52 am

Spoony, SpoonyBum, SpoonyTurl and Dr. Insano all playing DnD or something. That would be an awesome sketch.

Paul Videtto February 6, 2010 at 5:49 pm

It's a shame for the main character's actor. He was the Sniper in Saving Private Ryan. I'm surprised he had a career after this… He was also in Flags of our Fathers and Enemy of the State (this one might have been before Battlefield Earth I think).

sachikochan February 6, 2010 at 9:15 pm

haha, so hilarious xD
loved it

dennett316 February 7, 2010 at 2:00 am

Loved this vid, any time the Critic collaborates with Spoony is hugely watchable. The only thing better is when Linkara is involved as well….more triple team reviews.
I'd also like to see some comedy skits in the vein of the ones from the Rooster Teeth crew (Red vs Blue), I think you guys could outdo them in the hilarious original skit stakes.

RickyButler February 7, 2010 at 4:53 am

Ha ha ha haha. Ha ha ha haha.

To be, or not to BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

/me flails his arms and giggles like an idiot

Wiegeabo Kilijabob February 7, 2010 at 5:40 am

Yes, yes, oh god YES!!!

Bonadouche February 7, 2010 at 4:18 pm

Hey Spoon, the Psychlos are real idiots, anyway I just thought about a really bad horror/space movie, I'm sure you've heard of it? Jason X. Please do a review of this garbage of a flick I would love to see you rip it to shreds with a big fuckin' machete. hows the foot?

hoshizuku February 10, 2010 at 4:53 am

No wonder Spoony never talks to you people. You're jerks.

flow_hoe February 10, 2010 at 12:54 pm

As you said, he later had a role in Saving Private Ryan, which was totally shit. So he indeed didn't have any career after this. ;-)

daremusik February 10, 2010 at 2:21 pm

Hahahaaaa really good! nice one guys! Loved the Spoony appearance!! HAHAAAA

GunarmDyne February 10, 2010 at 4:30 pm

The start of the movie recycles the plot of Teenage Caveman!

Is_this_it February 16, 2010 at 2:55 am

An over acted review for an over acted movie. Now THATS ironic.

My sister and I were rolling at the “To be… or not to BE!” line; had to stop the review because we could hardly breathe.
GREAT collab-special.

All members of TGWTG need to be more famous. Honestly, all you guys should run a TV channel yourselves. There's been game and movie review websites in the past, but recently, at least in the UK: There's been a decline. I used to watch TNT and Xgames(?) but now they've been ground into the dirt, most certainly by shoddy programs such as “World's Thinest Models” and such.
Please advertise yourself more folks, among with Fony, you all make my time on this earth a little bit easier. Trying using Adwords, perhaps TV and definetely use some flyer ads .
Hope you all make it on TV! I'll be waiting!

EpeEntertainment July 8, 2010 at 2:02 am

Spoony, you should get a fu**ing Oscar for his performance.
I laugh my ass off every time I see “While you were still learning how to spell your name!”. xDDD
One of the best NC episodes.

Poor poor critic. You just wanna give him a hug and a dose of thorazine. This movie… it just… it just… I mean… who the fuck thought this would be a good premise? For ANYTHING?!

I mean, I know L.Ron.Hubbard was a con-artist idiot who couldn't write a good book to save his life but this is bad even for HIM!

I think the dialogue between the producer and the director for this movie may have gone something like this:
- Producer: we have a movie that we really think you'd be perfect for, will you have a look at the script?
- Director: okay. [reads script] … aha! That is hilarious! This would make an awesome comedy! I mean, just the parody of the whole sci-fi genre and-
- Producer: it's… not a comedy.
- Director: err… what?
- Producer: It's a serious film.
- Director: r-really? Wha… why… I mean why would you even want to produce this piece of-
- Producer: It's going to pull in a lot of money. It's written by the guy who came up with scientology. This thing will be backed by the entire hollywood A list.
- Director: Wha-how-why- Look, I think you're wrong about the whole 'making money' thing, but it doesn't matter. I will NEVER direct this movie. It's a complete and utter joke! Whoever directs this movie will have their name blackened for eternity!
- Producer: we have your wife and children held in our cellar downstairs. If you don't help us, very bad things will happen to them.
- Director: Never! I will never sink to such depths of intimidation! I will never sink to the gutter level of this script-
- Producer: we'll pay you.
- Director: … how much money are we talking about here?

May be followed by:
- Director: … hey producer guy, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you have red horns and a forked tail? And why did I feel like my soul was being sucked out of me when I signed that contract with the fiery pen?
- Producer: Marketing ploy.

Love your appearence as Tull, that was genius.
I rented this movie when it came out, under the delucion, “Maybe I'll like it.” I quickly came to regret those words, as I realised that this movie is in fact, a piece of SHIT! Horrible dialog, dumb characters, stupid explainations, if no just plain bad.
Just an around bad, dumb, piece of shit movie.
thank you NC, and Spoony.
