I loved everything except the cliched music and singing of that song after the death scene. I fucking HATE that overused b.s.-ing piece of crap of a song (but hey, love it all you want, people; I just plain hate it). I’m SO glad you guys didn’t ring a deep-toned bell at the second after his death! And I do admit, making Linkara finally sing at the end was pretty clever (I didn’t listen to it though; I would’ve rather have a better song choice, such as a happy song with high-tempo and some added unexpected dancing with random characters popping-up everywhere).

The part where Nostalgia Chick switches with your friend was pretty clever and funny. I loved the Angry Joe line-fail (“you killed my w/e, prepare to die!” lol), Spoony’s fumblings (ex.: *drops his staff and throws bird seed packets*) and reactions (*dizzy* “I saw the sun rise and fall twice, so it might be more than once”) and the whole dbz-style action, including the “unexpected” (yeah… not really…) “heart ftw” scene.

When I saw the cliche of Ma-ti being dead after a dramatic battle, I was really worried you’d go for the “cry until he’s revived” cliche. I’m SO glad you guys didn’t go there!

Overall, it was awesome. :-)

Loved watching this, as well as seeing Suede again. If that’s a re-introduction, that is friggin’ awesome! Though it was unfortunate that he didn’t do a lot/get used a whole lot in the end.

Though I enjoyed it, there were a few little things here and there that did bother me, and a truly big one was when the Nostalgia Critic reflected on what was said by the Voice of the Ancient World, when he wasn’t actually there. That was with SpoonyMage’s party!

I did like the back story on the Gauntlet, though. That was a pretty awesome touch… and lol, the Power Glove… it’s so bad!

I loved the entire anniversary movie, but this part is the one that made me laugh the most. As a star trek fan i cannot help but laugh at the heavy Wrath Of Khan Reference at the end of this part. And then the Song….made me laugh even more.

I don’t know how you do it. Every year these guys top themselves time and time again, and it keeps getting better. I feel honored and blessed to be a fan of such amazing individuals.

Lewis got to sing a song! Yay! ^^

That was a lot of fun. The showdown was incredibly epic. Orlando just oozes badass.

Heh…. This special is just filled with cameos. I wasn’t exactly sure who was under that cloak, but the girth seemed familiar.

I think it’s glaringly obvious that Critic should be putting on the glove and using the magic, which is pretty much always my complaint with storied specials by these guys. They have these tools, even directly in their hands, and they don’t use them for convenience. At least Linkara is getting better at that, and Spoony has never run into that. And, with that, Malachite isn’t a kind of guy to mess around. It’s always a shame when it comes to the climax.

Spoony the Grey! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ahhh Nella…. I knew you were at the anniversary but I was wondering where you were in the movie!

I knew there would be an ironic twist. Him having a cellphone, perfect timing.

Ma’ti twist was also extremely obvious, but to have Bargo on screen is always a treat regardless. As was the Spoony one, but at least now we won’t ever be confused by someone dashing around him.

Todd’s good at burning things… Good to note. I’ll not get near him with a rag.

I wonder if Linkara really wanting a song is based off that thing that Spoony suggested for the Brawl in his commentary. I mean, of course it’s a bit about Camelot, but still that might have been an idea Doug reserved. Pretty nice song voice though, considering the only capacity we’ve ever heard him in length is Harvey Finevoice which is obviously forced.

The Necronomicon isn’t a legend >> And the Bum has a mailbox?

Can’t wait for your commentary Spoony. It will be a while, given your situation, but it’s still wanted :D

Overall, it was a very entertaining movie. Best out of the anniversary’s thus far and did a lot with trying to make every character unique and with specific flaws. The cameos were simply amazing, the jokes were solid, but the serious aspects of the story were sub-par. Still, as I said before I watch this for the interaction and the characters all of you guys play have a lot to them. Now another year of content ’till the next one.

this was awesome! i got to see handsome tom and 8 bit mickey do a fastball special, avgn as a foul mouthed light fairy, and spoony in drag again. poor ma-ti, at least we got that dude in the suede back. this was way better than kickassia and the epic brawl. i even liked the ending and i usually can’t stand the bum.

Also. someone called the gauntlet being the power glove in the first video.

So can we haz final fantasy X-2 review nao?!

Great job on the anniversary special, little bit disappointed there was no Dr. Insano though.

BRAVO!!!!
Better then some professional hollywood productions. I’ve really enjoyed this quest :-)

This year anniversary had its moments but seems to lack in consistency, timing and structure.
some jokes were just references (like the star trek, power glove).
But just making references is not funny. Do something with it, give it a twist.

Also i would really like to see the subplot of filmbrain vs luke and the favoritism by the Nostalgia Critic resolved.

This anniversary video suffers from the same problems the “[genre] Movies” (Scary Movie, Epic Movie …) suffer. If you know what i mean.

Still; overall it was entertaining.

I just feel that if the work and effort that everyone contributed had been
spent individually on making own videos, that these videos would be better.
Especially since you don’t have to deal with problem that certain styles and personalities don’t mix well.

What a great ending to this movie. I had a really great time watching it, but man, the bar for next year is set pretty high now.

I love re watching the group shots to see everyone’s reactions.

Spoony puts Ian McKellen to shame. Spoondalf’s celebratory dance after Malecide’s demise made me piss my pants with laughter.

The dude that played Malecide is awesome. He was good in the NC’s Christmas special thingy, but he was awesome in this. Decent acting and he flips around a lot, what else needs to be said.

I think the first half of the script needed a little more polishing, but the last 2 parts were great.

I think everyone did great to a good job. I think Rob and the woman who played the witch did the best job. The low point was Tom, but his acting was a step up from last year.

I very much enjoyed this.

For some reason, just seeing Noah with a copy of Final Fantasy X-2 makes me feel better…

While the corniness of Kickassia still exists, at least the plot is coherent. The ending was a bit confusing. How was Ma-Ti’s ring connected to Malachite?

Awesome overall. Great effort on behalf of everyone on and off screen! Phelous and mark deserve extra congrats on behalf of the amazing special effects, seriously that shit was pro! Keeping in mind that this is done on a shoe string budget with no real world movie production skills(and i mean that in the highest regard to everyone at channel awesome) and the actors for the most part not being traditionally trained it was one hell of a effort!  I have to admit, I was kinda expecting more but thats just because I am so spoiled with the  high quality of the vids tgwtg puts out. Some of the jokes went on for to long and to took to long to get to the punchline and sometimes fell short, lindsey who was awesome, I felt her part was just a little hokey but that was no fault of her own. It was the script written for her. But over all, great effort and I’ll buy the dvd when it comes out to show my support and gratitude of channel awesome/tgwtg.

I was kinda hoping Dr. Insano would appear at the end and there would be an epic battle between magic and SCIENCE!
This ending was pretty awesome though, and I’m really hoping that the hook at the end means that we can look forward to a zombie movie next year!

Powerglove: $100 (original retail).

Kevin’s Comment Immediately Below: Not Really Worth Much

Watching Ma-Ti Kick Ass for Once in his Miserable Existence: PRICELESS -:D

This was GOOD! Much better then Kickassia; in the same league as the first anniversary. I loved how every reviewer got their signature bits put in the film and I liked the cameo appearances. It’s obvious it gets better each year. Good work Channel Awesome! I will continue to click on your advertisements.

Reading the comments some of them were a lil harsh, but I think maybe next year dont have 75% of tgwtg in one movie try to take over the world once again and have these  ”epic” battles, Not trying to bash but the fastforward motion and cartoon punch sound effects and the shakey camera thing has gotten old. How about a week of cross over reviews and maybe a live skype q and a?  maybe the anniversary week would be a good time to do the charity drive? Or maybe, if there is a  movie with the gang of tgwtg, How about them  playing  actual fictional characters (not just caricatures of themselves) in  a “movie” that does not mention anything about tgwtg or their vid reviews and the fourth wall constantly being broken. These are just thoughts, and in my previous post I DID give high praise to the effort and I still stand by that.

Amazing ending to an amazing series.

Now if this was released as a movie on DVD I would be the first to buy it, Summer Blockbuster, I think so!

And smooth sailing through the sky there Spoony.

Is it me, or is it f***ing pathetic this does a better job ripping off Spock’s line than Transformers 3?

I had hoped the “okay let’s fight for real” would lead to some decently choreographed bits.  I know most people don’t have fighting abilities, and I know time constraints make shooting any sort of combat difficult, but come on.

Kickassia was far better.  Someone else said it, but I’ll say it again.  Would it really be that bad to have a much smaller main cast and have cameos for the rest?  Maybe a rotating cast for the films created.  I wouldn’t mind if one year Spoony’s role was downsized to a gatekeeper cameo or Dr. Insano cameo if the next year saw a film with him getting a decent part.  In fact, I think he’s probably in this too much, but then I also think his bits tend to be some of the few that work.  Angry Joe’s bits work well, as well as Cinema Snob, but otherwise it just wasn’t that funny.

It’s hard to write a good script, I get that.  This was not a good script.  This entire film was based largely in LARPing, which takes beyond an exceptionally good writer to make even decently funny.  The only time “Conan” was funny was when it was pointed out a Frenchman was playing an Austrian, and that it was sure to be confusing.  “Arwen” was boring.  Even “Arthur” was mediocre at best, and we all know Linkara is better than that.  If this was something a group of friends put together over a weekend I would say good job and move on, but this group has so much more potential.

I look forward to the next project.  With a group as intelligent as this group is, it should be better.  I’m really sorry if I came off as being some negative prick, and I don’t want to be discouraging.  Thank you Spoony and everyone at TWGTG for all the work you put into this.

Haha,  he called him a “Dark City” backwash.
…
(looks at Final Fantasy 13)
(cries)
MA-TI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I love the Power Glove…It’s so bad.” 

That had me on the floor.

yay it killed of matti now we might see his actor do something different for once other then that this was an entertaining movie i thought kickassia was better because it had a better storyline and the characters where more developed other then that i can see where people are coming from by saying you guys should use less characters because you would get to know them more but hey this is a great film i think you guys should try and make a horror film or something :D 

Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome fantastic!!!!!!!!!! It was just so amazing that if this was released on dvd i’d buy it instantly!

people seem to forget that this full-length movie was shot in a week, stop having such high expectation. omg. They put a lot of effort into this and deserve some nice words. I am sure they can make an amazing film, if they have infinite amount of time.
