It's funny, when the Nostalgia Critic ACTUALLY starts to criticize people's nostalgia, they get all pissy. "You just didn't get it!" C'mon, folks, it's not gonna work. He didn't like the movie and that's all there is to it.
I feel for the Nostalgia Critic about the makeup. We spent all semester at school making sets for a stop-motion movie, and one of the sets was made literally for one single picture.
Loved the review and the BTS, and i was wondering if after Matrix Month, Doug can you please review the Godfather Part 3, it's a review that i have been waiting years for you to do.
These videos really turn into a Behind The Sceneception. 30:00 we look at a camera recording of a camera screen showing the recording of that camera recording the camera itself!!!!
it kind of hit me just now that whatever the Matrix 1 is, the sequels are ABSOLUTELY like watching a live action anime: just a series of pretty imagery sewn together, over analysis on vague concepts of life we still don't understand enough to elaborate on, character concepts with no real depth serving a purpose to a later plot point or action scene, AND finally a batshit crazy ending where everyone you could have cared about dies.
Uh…so people hate his review because he said bad thing about the matrix? I mean, he already make a fun so many good and fine film, isn't it? Why the matrix is special?
ok guys, question. Which fictional brotha with a sword rocked the Leather Trench coat and sunglasses look better Morpheus or Blade. (Morpheus had a standard katana, Blade's sword was custom made for the films. ) The black leather trench coat thing works for some charecters, but depends on what they wear with it. Blade had the kevlar vest, and a place to hide his sword on his back Selene looks hotter than Trinity with her catsuit, corset and trench coat The Crow just looks menacing in the black ensemble The Punisher's skull looks mad intimidating when he rocks the black trench coat Nyssa from Blade II did what Selene did, only looked more regal as it wore like a royal cape V from V for Vendetta made it work, especially with the Guy Fox mask and hat as well all those knives and Morpheaus made the look cool when he wore that fly ass suit in Matrix Reloaded. Hell Morpheus was more interesting than all of the Matrix Characters besides Smith
While I do agree The Matrix isn't a masterpiece, I think this review fails on the grounds that you could do the exact same to any film, nitpick it to pieces and watch it fall apart. If you ignore the right things and point out the right things, The Shining or Fight Club or The Godfather become "bad movies".
No no no. The films problems do exist and they are adressed properly in the review. Good ideas save it and make it awesome. It does however still have so many STUPID moments.
Well, it depends whether you like a movie or not. When I don't like a movie which is considered by many to be a masterpiece I can easily find things to nitpick (I can complain about Godfather 2 for hours). But when I like a movie which has some flaws I can just as easily forgive the flaws and still enjoy it. NC reviews are mostly nitpicks for fun. Little things he points out don't make the movies bad, they are bad or good for different reasons. And bad/good is very subjective. He never said The Matrix is a bad movie, he just doesn't like it. He is allowed to not like some movies, you know.
Have you thought of it as him taking a new perspective on the review? If he was praising what was already well praised, it wouldn't be that interesting of a review.
Going to watch The Matrix for the first time soon. I have seen a Wachowski film before though. What do you people think of Bound? I thought it was a great, creative thriller. Borrowed a lot from Hitchcock.
Eli Parker Thats because they wanted to make it look like night even though they shot in broad daylight, so they just made everything blue and called it a day.
I didn't agree with this review for one second but still found it funny.. But Malcolm looks kinda sad in this video, I don't know for what reason but I just think he is :/
Watch the first one then maybe Animatrix [an animation compilation] but you can skip the sequels. The only good fight scene was Neo vs the Army of Smith's
28:54
Doug: I'm going to try something I've never tried before...
Papa Walker: Something creative?
XD damn, Papa Walker is SAVAGE!
Doug you need to put your dad in more reviews he's freaking funny as hell.
oh that was his dad?
+Kevin Matta Rob favors him more than Doug. The first time I saw Barney on the show,, I'm thinking...older Rob.
That improv at 27:02 was amazing. Its always cool to see how everything comes together
It's funny, when the Nostalgia Critic ACTUALLY starts to criticize people's nostalgia, they get all pissy. "You just didn't get it!" C'mon, folks, it's not gonna work. He didn't like the movie and that's all there is to it.
Malcolm brought up Afro Samurai? His awesome points have officially increased by 10...
THOUSAND!!!
Doug really likes telling that story about Dante Basco going into a restaurant in full costume.......well it is a funny story.
I feel for the Nostalgia Critic about the makeup. We spent all semester at school making sets for a stop-motion movie, and one of the sets was made literally for one single picture.
it's official, I'm moving to Chicago to visit these guys & ask for a job
Hope it goes well
I love how they just have a wall full of guns
Malcolm's jacket reminds me of Nathan's Repo Man jacket from Repo! the Genetic Opera, lol.
that would be a brilliant video to make; just a video of morpheus tying his shoes whilst dodging and blocking attacks.
Hyper Hellgirl? She could team up with Dark Nella!
...and destroy the World, no thanks.
I was just laughing because I was imagining Enma Ai on caffeine!
What kind of camera is he using to film them with the attached mic @22:00? His episodes are good quality and was wondering.
Most likely a sony.
Thanks for uploading this. Its very cool to see behind scenes of this review : D
Watched the whole thing to drool over Tamara in leather, found out Malcolm is pretty cool and hilarious
I think Trinitys actress did a good job as Aria in Mass Effect.
Both theatric and badass.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT! I had no fucking idea she played Aria.
8:50 - I just wanna give Tamara headpaaaaaats~
I love how your dad explains the importance of the "training" scene and you just blow him off without even replying to him. lol.
What lights and camera does Doug Use the results are very good
Which scene had Tamara and Malcolm with the horns??
Loved the review and the BTS, and i was wondering if after Matrix Month, Doug can you please review the Godfather Part 3, it's a review that i have been waiting years for you to do.
That would be interesting as a short retrospective video.
SpeedyEric1 it definitely gets an unneeded amount of hate. Coppala was dreadful but overall it was very good imo
+SpeedyEric1 same here i dont get the godfather part 3 hate
Does anyone know what kinda camera they're using???
These videos really turn into a Behind The Sceneception.
30:00 we look at a camera recording of a camera screen showing the recording of that camera recording the camera itself!!!!
Doug's father needs to be in more reviews
Did they cut out the horn part i dont remember it
it kind of hit me just now that whatever the Matrix 1 is, the sequels are ABSOLUTELY like watching a live action anime: just a series of pretty imagery sewn together, over analysis on vague concepts of life we still don't understand enough to elaborate on, character concepts with no real depth serving a purpose to a later plot point or action scene, AND finally a batshit crazy ending where everyone you could have cared about dies.
SonicRyan1992 a lot of the sequels have scenes that are based on Dragon Ball Z
What camera are you guys using?
I love these videos.
Uh…so people hate his review because he said bad thing about the matrix? I mean, he already make a fun so many good and fine film, isn't it? Why the matrix is special?
Because it's symbolic and means stuff, Mr Algia Critic
I was wondering when he'd do a behind the scenes of the Care Bears Nutcracker suite.
I really liked the review. Good job, keep it up! :)
I'm a super big fan of Doug
Can Hyper Hellgirl be an actual thing, pretty please?
Is Oliver Platt your cameraman? Because he sounds a hell of a lot like him.
Take the cameras with you when y'all go out to eat
Where's Rob?
IS that... badluck Bootsey from AVGN? O_o the camera guy??
Who is the older fella in the beginning?
That's what I thought. Thanks :)

Morpheus or Blade. (Morpheus had a standard katana, Blade's sword was custom made for the films. )

Nyssa from Blade II did what Selene did, only looked more regal as it wore like a royal cape
V from V for Vendetta made it work, especially with the Guy Fox mask and hat as well all those knives
and Morpheaus made the look cool when he wore that fly ass suit in Matrix Reloaded.
Hell Morpheus was more interesting than all of the Matrix Characters besides Smith
damn thats allot of guns on the wall. Are those all airsoft or are they offical props from a prop department or prop store
Most likely props. I just wanna grab them off the wall and go "pew pew" all over the place. :P
Jesse Pinkman all the guns are props, but the swords and knives, they are 100% real
Surprised no one has brought up Tamara and the catsuit

The Marauder I agree, but I think Doug loves the movies, so...

Malcholm's horns were off so they were derpy.
Derpy Horns! Haha. Was that a MLP reference? He says unicorn pony.
I think it was just a coincidence, considering he said he didn't particularly like my little pony
ok seriously. the coat looks great on Malcolm. and Tamera...wow. like really...wow.
Tamera is always "wow" ^^
Needs to do Equilibrium.
Tamara's never seen The Matrix. Need I say more?
12:19 Hyper Hell girl, write that down write that down!
Tra là la!!!!
"I just wanted to get into your libraries"
Wait, it was Care Bears and Matrix filmed together? I thought it was Matrix and Animatrix!
Malcolm's first time dressing himself.
Cut to baby Bart Simpson. I’m a big a boy, today!!!
I love Tamaras Robocop gun!
Yes I can use the brony tag
Malcolm: I really do feel like Lawrence Fishburne.
Just don't start beating up on Tamara (aka What's Love Got to Do with it?")
I just wanted to see Tamera in that costume
I didnt really think the matrix was as good as everyone says, it had ALOT of problems!
Omg you must go to the same Juicy O's that I go to.
Big Russian Like! NC - You Are the BEST reviewer.
I admit that the Matrix isn't as good as people say it is and it's fairly dated but I still like it; like how Flash Gordon isn't good but I like.
Why are they putting on horns.
Derpy Horns?
Someone get on that. 9u6
Going to watch The Matrix for the first time soon. I have seen a Wachowski film before though. What do you people think of Bound? I thought it was a great, creative thriller. Borrowed a lot from Hitchcock.
is that his dad?
Yeah
That thumbnail tho
Oh my god... FIIIIIRRRRRRSSSSTTTT!!!!!!!
are you firsty
Solomon the Creator
Firsty bitches be like...
First drink's on me
Doug's father is fun. =]
Lumberjack Jim is best Jim.
Now I need to watch the shining review to see Malcom with white skin
Don't get too excited. He doesn't look, like, white. I actually thought he looked blueish.
Eli Parker Thats because they wanted to make it look like night even though they shot in broad daylight, so they just made everything blue and called it a day.
The Marauder Iwasn't faulting them or anything, just saying that it wasn't like Malcolm changed races.
Read the invisibles it's like the matrix but way better
I love Malcolm. =]
You're thinking of trenchcoats.
Tamara is so freakin hot
His dad just hangs around...it's weird.
Hurrah, I am not alone. Someone other than me does not like the first 'Matrix'!
He doesn't like a movie that I like AND THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!!
OMG Tamara is sooo cute! lol :P
tamara in leather
dont need to say more do I ? :D
Anything you can do I can do leather, I can do anything leather than you! ;oP
I didn't agree with this review for one second but still found it funny.. But Malcolm looks kinda sad in this video, I don't know for what reason but I just think he is :/
My mom's sense of humor is just as dirty.
omg so good.
badguyintheglasses
Hmmm, everyone likes the Matrix trilogy? Sound like Friends fans to me-- [AWAITING SPAM BEFORE FINISHING SENTENCE] ...um, I should go. lol
where the fuck are they!? wtf is this i mean theres fake guns in the background like where are they!?!!!
how the fuck have they not seen the matrix? i mean, i understand that you don't really like it but man, really?
I didn't understand it but what made me like the trilogy was the action scenes and some other aspects.
Some people didn't watch it , it's ok.
Watch the first one then maybe Animatrix [an animation compilation]
but you can skip the sequels. The only good fight scene was Neo vs the Army of Smith's
Leonardo Huizar Yes that was epic.
I'm not saying that it is good or bad, I'm just baffled that they have not seen such a huge movie.
Quite the dirty mind there, Bernard.
tamara is so fine
Malcolm is cool af.
I also don't like the matrix
Horns can also mean infidelity :)
Lots of unfaithful bulls, goats, deer, and antelopes
Shame on Dougs dad btw, screw the diffrence between a coat and a jacket. Would you finally teach him how to ware that damnd TIE!!!
Really a parody of the matrix, is this the year 2001 or something?? Nope -__-
Well yes he does that most reviews he does to get the point across and because it can be quite funny sometimes.
I hate the Matrix more because it gave presup apologists like Sye Ten Bruggencate a visualisation for his garbage routines.
Doug i am one of them the disliker of matrix
Haha I'm all for these reviews. The matrix is one of the worst movies. -_- i see no point to it at all.
4th comment
FIRSTTTT
Fun fact there actually was a real black Samurai. His name was Yasuke and he was a African slave brought to Japan.
