Seriously I love the grey color, please don't change it. The white hurts my eyes, and grey matches the mood of Nostalgia Critic. Isn't it also mean to make him buy new white paint over and over again, just because? He's already done it, don't be mean and make him redo it.
You're probably thinking of his 'The King and I ' review. It's one of the first reviews he did after bringing back the NC. I think it's season 6. Good episode.
The sad thing is that Max Payne had the potential to be an absolutely amazing movie. The majority of the awesome shit in the games comes from movies: the noir tone and narration, the intense John Woo style gunfights, the bullet time. But instead all we got was a boring drama with like, two or three action scenes that are too short to be cool, and don't get me started on the misuse of the bullet time and the miscasting.
I found a quote from the director about the characters and the story of the game. "They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over."
This movie was a mess a little gore here and there wouldn't have saved this pile of shit, casting Marky Mark and Jackie Burkhart was bad enough on its own
ThisAnimatedPhantom Yeah, he had me cracking up when he said some people take the color of their walls waaaaay too serious. Cuz everyone put in the comments that they didn't like the color of his wall so he changed it or would sometimes use a green screen instead.
Can't that be said about pretty much every video game movie? They just can't seem to do it right. All the had to do was literally copy the story and noir feel and it would have been so much better. Why on Earth did they change the Valkyr drug from green to blue? I don't understand such a pointless change that even moreso distances the fans from what they want.
Now some of you might be thinking: "Where's Bill? Haven't seen him in a while.", but what you need to understand is that Bill is always there, in our hearts...
dafuq guy of course. What's next, are you going to say there was a time when Bill wasn't on the show? He's been there since day 1, he just takes breaks from time to time.
As an Ohioan I can confirm the weather can change to whatever the fuck it wants within the span of a week. In fact I've seen it go from snow, sleet, rain, then refreeze within a single day more than once.
Max Payne with the directors of John Wick would be amazing and could probably do the games a lot of justice with a good actor (not that Mark isn’t good, just someone that looks more like him?) It should include voice narration that sounds accurate to Max’s voice and have the same great writing in it.
as long as hollywood doesn't acknowledge video-games as a legit form of entertainment we will always get mediocre videogame adaptations, seen the "detective pikachu" trailer? "based on the worldwide PHENOMENON" they don't even have the balls to say it was based on a video-game, as if being based on a video-game is something to be ashamed of, same thing happens with western movies based on anime, they always say "cultural phenomenon" instead of anime, how can you expect a good product if the people working on it are ashamed of it? And truth be told I'm honestly fine with this, right now video-games are in a possition that puts them on the same level as movies if not better, great scripts, awesome voice actors, motion capture, honestly most of the CGI looks way better in video-games than mutlimillion movies and music scores that can make jhon williams look like an amateur, I actually can't belive why people would be excited for videogame movie adaptations, they are huge downgrade IMO.
Part of the problem with that is Keanu spent years actually going through military training. So you also need someone who trains that hard for that long for just one movie. So at that point you might just end up with Keanu doing it.
They should make another movie and give it that same dark atmosphere as the first game. Get unknown or not well known actors to give it an authentic feel.
Thats where you dont understand. Channel awesome is a movie critic, yet they cant successfully make a C movie anyone outside their fandom bubble could like. I was embarrassed by the last movie they tried to make
@Will 2139 You do know that it wasn't problem of this adaptation, because it was exactly how it was in the game? The problem was that game was famous from clever use of Bullet Time and Matrix Effects in times when it was new, when in the movie there is almost nothing from that. Furthermore they make ridiculous ideology regard Valkyrie, when it was primarily just a hallucinogenic drug and Max for large part of the game is under its influence. Otherwise it was quite standard revenge story, but with amazing melancholic mood. As someone said John Wick is way better adaptation then this drag..
@@JakNekon I saw the movie before I read the comics, they turned a story about supervillains taking over their world and turned it into just assassins who are the supposed hands of fate. That still pisses me off
Nice transition like the game at 16:40 Brought back memories of playing the game. And I thought my browser screwed up again till i realized what it was. Lol
Keep the wall grey, it looks nice, not that the color really matters as long as the videos are still good. Hell, it could even be rainbow and I wouldn't care....but don't do that.
I want to see Doug review "Who Killed Captain Alex." Everyone is having such a blast that it makes me happy every time I see it. He's gotta go in depth on the history of Wakaliwood, though, as it's really cool!
I'm always so focused on the critic that I don't even notice the background, if you painted it pink it would probably take 6 months before I even suspected something was different
If she shot him without him getting the gun it would be murder but him going for the gun would be considered self defense, it was his own fault for going so slowly.....also why am I putting actual thought into the Max Payne movie?
icecream hero yes, people can play whatever role they want. He didn’t say she couldn’t. He said that she has to be cast as the right role to be good. No where did he say she couldn’t play whatever role she wanted.

I didn't mind this movie as much as everyone else... mainly just because of some of the gunplay and the okay visual style of a few scenes... and the flashback to when Max finds his family dead wasn't that bad. Though someone like Brian Cranston would be a better choice to play an older bald Max Payne, haha.
Maybe, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to the game, finding Max’s family dead in the game is genuinely horrifying and disturbing, and the nightmare levels about it are even worse, I think many will agree with me when i say they scared the shit out of almost everyone who played it, myself included, I still mute the tv when I play those levels cause of how terrifying JUST the sounds are, Michelle begging for her life and calling for Max, the baby crying as she’s senselessly murdered before becoming this demonic sounding wail that just rapes ur ears, right before, because i’m an idiot, I end up falling off the blood trail and Max screaming his lungs out, I’m feeling queasy and uncomfortable right now just writing about it
Mel Gibson would have been a perfect Max Payne (see "Payback"). The movie unfortunately focused on the wrong aspects of the Payne story plus it was miscast in all departments. "Max Payne" is a perfect example how casting can kill a movie.
13:30 "How can you trust a person who can't even apply his own scar makeup convincingly?" Um... Doug, that's Jamie Hector. Dude played a villain on HBO's The Wire. And that is his actual scar. That's not makeup.
My screenwriting II professor actually worked on the set of this film, he said it was a constant mess and that the script was constantly being rewritten throughout filming.
So this month is going to be about movies based on video games? If so, I'm in, I want to see your interpretation of Prince of Persia, Ratchet and Clank and World of Warcraft.

Me and my sister were like obsessed with the two first Max Payne games and re-played them so many times, always having fun. The movie though.... I think the most intense thing about it was me struggling not to fall asleep. (I lost that battle.)
jimboa20 that's a pretty good idea. There are so many titles he can go after: assassins creed, resident Evil series, mk annihilation, street fighter, hitman, doom(already done), silent hill, tekken, super Mario Bros(done I think), dead or alive, tomb raider, low hanging fruit uwe boll movies, angry birds... There's so many
@@PastelGremlin00 His name is Duncan Jones, and yes, I did know that. I actually liked Warcraft, but that's mostly because I'm incredibly knowledgeable of the source material. If I didn't know anything about the Warcraft universe, ten minutes into the movie I would be hopelessly lost and confused. They should have made it a series. Warcraft wasn't anywhere near as bad as critics made it out to be, but it also wasn't anywhere near as good as it should have been.
I really wonder if Critic realized ''Mute Baldy'', to call that character, was supposed to be Jack Lupino. You know, that mobster who got addicted to Valkyr so badly his mental stability dropped to the point where he became a worshipper of devils from different mythologies and saw himself as Fenrir, and was actually one of the best parts of the game. But who am I kidding? This movie is so awful we needed to search the wiki to realize that guy was Lupino.

Think up some good casting for max payne.
James McAffrey did a stunning performance in the third game and I wish he wasn't just a cameo in the movie atleast :((
Don't you geniuses ever change.
If that was a question, it'd be a very confusing one
The movie fails because it's PG-13. The game is rated Mature. How the heck can you do the film justice? Stupid hollywood producers.

Though someone like Brian Cranston would be a better choice to play an older bald Max Payne, haha.
Maybe, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to the game, finding Max’s family dead in the game is genuinely horrifying and disturbing, and the nightmare levels about it are even worse, I think many will agree with me when i say they scared the shit out of almost everyone who played it, myself included, I still mute the tv when I play those levels cause of how terrifying JUST the sounds are, Michelle begging for her life and calling for Max, the baby crying as she’s senselessly murdered before becoming this demonic sounding wail that just rapes ur ears, right before, because i’m an idiot, I end up falling off the blood trail and Max screaming his lungs out, I’m feeling queasy and uncomfortable right now just writing about it
Review A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Edit: He finally did it
Yeah yeah a series of unfortunate events please Doug!!!!
Up
Up you go!
Review that stinker of a last episode from the new season
Baikal920 I know in the books that was the longest but it only has 1 part
Just keep the gray color.
That's a duck.
That's a DUCK, man!
Yes.
Yes, it IS a duckman.
*Jason Alexander intensifies*
*quack*
Dat's a duck!
Dat's a tie!
Dat's a desk!
Dat's a dupid, dupid movie!
Duck is lord
Whalberg gets slapped and I get an ad... COINCIDENCE???? I THINK THE FRICK NOT!!
“The frick”
>In one week it went from rain to snow four times
Clearly Critic has never lived in St. Louis
Or Indianapolis.
Or Texas.
Or Michigan
or oregon
Or North Carolina
Great review. I say the wall for once should be grey for a change.
Grey is the most overused color. Be more creative.
I just gave the 100. like to your comment.
Greyish blue is better.
Grey!!!!!!!!!!
If Nostalgia Critic’s head has a landline, does that mean he can escape the Matrix whenever he wants?
I guess so
Mel Gibson would have been a perfect Max Payne (see "Payback").
The movie unfortunately focused on the wrong aspects of the Payne story plus it was miscast in all departments. "Max Payne" is a perfect example how casting can kill a movie.
Grey is timeless and not as boring as white or the Max Payne movie. Thanks for this review. Go for grey!
TheDragon1986 no paint it green screen of nic cage gif!
@@wyattbooth9918 the grey... OFF! ;)
I like the grey, go grey.
So, any chance of that Major Payne review?
I really liked the part with Gumball in it. :)
You're a good egg Gumballfan 123.
You got that right, kid show thing
I would say something snappy... But im tired
13:30 "How can you trust a person who can't even apply his own scar makeup convincingly?"
Um... Doug, that's Jamie Hector. Dude played a villain on HBO's The Wire. And that is his actual scar. That's not makeup.
It is an akward looking scar though
Why is it snowing in here
We're inside a building
Where ever I go
The snow follows
And the snow smells like the wind
And the wind smells like rain
So by that logic, if A=B and B=C, then the snow smells like rain.
Oh Critic, you think changing from rain to snow and back again twice is weird...you must have never been to New England
Persoon56 Or Maryland where it’ll snow one day and be in the 60s the next day
Jeez. I thought Northern Indiana was nuts with the ability to get all four seasons in a week.
He's actually lived in Rhode Island for a few years when he was younger
@@shyguyry2033 I guess he must have forgotten the weather there then. Either that or Rhode Island is much better off than New Hampshire
You should keep the wall grey
My screenwriting II professor actually worked on the set of this film, he said it was a constant mess and that the script was constantly being rewritten throughout filming.
No wall color can ever replace the original wall (Angelic memory music plays)
5:20 so this is what uncle jack did in the 90s. His hands look small.
Bador I thought that was him! 😂😂😂
@@garyking1986 it is him. Same actor!
From what movie or series?
Alessandra Flora Oh ok
In an alternate universe Harvey bullocks helps max Payne instead of Jim Gordon (like if u get the reference)
Have fun tonight
@@bogdannicolas6359 I appreciate it
*Alex's widow slaps Max*
Ad: You could use some Switchmas spirit!
Another great moment for an ad every time I've watched this review
So this month is going to be about movies based on video games? If so, I'm in, I want to see your interpretation of Prince of Persia, Ratchet and Clank and World of Warcraft.
Doug does the "theme months" in march now, to give him and the team a break from the commercial special and the Christmas month--at least, that's what he said last year. :)
AAAAHM... the Guy with the Scar is JAMIE HECTOR ... this is an actual Scar ... not make up... sir...
That just shows how terrible the lighting in this movie is. An actual scar ends up looking someone did a horrible make-up job.
@@robo-nidai4236 or make up doesn't look like Real scars.
No one cares.
@@blammowammo5886 more like... No one SCAR-es! HAHA... ha.. Ha
the wall should be fifty shades of grey
Literally
Boooo! BOOoooo!
I actually thought Mark Wahlberg was Mat Damon all the way until he said it was him! 😂
....How? 😅
@@christopherlowery3797 Maybe Wahlberg leaves so little of an impression of his own, that it's so easy to put just about anyone that looks remotely like him in his place
14:00 The Simpson joke was hilarious.
It was from one of my favorite episodes growing up.
I think Civvie 11 also made a few Simpsons references in that scene, too.
I was 12 when I first saw this movie...
It was the most disappointing thing I've ever seen in my life.
Cute profile pic. What is it?
i'm sure you had worse disappointments after that
Then or until now?
what about doom?
Until the Resident Evil movies, right?
This is one of the funniest episodes I've seen!! Everything had do so much energy behind it and every joke landed for me! Malcolm's message at the end was HILARIOUS!!!! Here's to a 2019 full of reviews you guys are proud of and enjoy making in your new space!!
It sucked because Tamara was barely in it
7:09 song?
Me and my sister were like obsessed with the two first Max Payne games and re-played them so many times, always having fun. The movie though.... I think the most intense thing about it was me struggling not to fall asleep. (I lost that battle.)
Doug, you should do Warcraft next. Make it a videogame adaptation month or something.
jimboa20 that's a pretty good idea.
There are so many titles he can go after: assassins creed, resident Evil series, mk annihilation, street fighter, hitman, doom(already done), silent hill, tekken, super Mario Bros(done I think), dead or alive, tomb raider, low hanging fruit uwe boll movies, angry birds...
There's so many
I only hope he has balls to review Postal.
He did Street Fighter.
Y'all know David Bowie's son directed Warcraft? Just a fun little tid-bit xP
@@PastelGremlin00 His name is Duncan Jones, and yes, I did know that. I actually liked Warcraft, but that's mostly because I'm incredibly knowledgeable of the source material. If I didn't know anything about the Warcraft universe, ten minutes into the movie I would be hopelessly lost and confused. They should have made it a series. Warcraft wasn't anywhere near as bad as critics made it out to be, but it also wasn't anywhere near as good as it should have been.
9:53
Hits him so hard that it cuts to a add
I really wonder if Critic realized ''Mute Baldy'', to call that character, was supposed to be Jack Lupino. You know, that mobster who got addicted to Valkyr so badly his mental stability dropped to the point where he became a worshipper of devils from different mythologies and saw himself as Fenrir, and was actually one of the best parts of the game.
But who am I kidding? This movie is so awful we needed to search the wiki to realize that guy was Lupino.
@RehlDregur the shielded Niup. Main villain ain't even Nicole Horne. It's B.B.
Their guns aren't set to "hit behind him", it's just that special bullet attracting glass they use in movie office buildings
Omfg the loading screens. Yes!! I'm cheesing like an idiot!
Guys, don't worry about Malcolm. The guy can live without his nostrils, he wasn't even using them that much! It's fiiiiiine
yeah. I'd definitely be more concerned over the adding of a third testicle just so they could take out more than two. . .
wally man is incorrect, no testicle is better than two testicles. I learned that the hard way
Eh, him and the others have died in so many ways, he knows he fine. Why hes so casual
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video so fast
I'm gonna say faster than this movie's bullet time! XD
the Flash cant tap as fast as I can
Its annoying seeing this same comment over and over on so many videos.
Same
So... You'll do an episode for Major Payne, right?
I've been enjoying NC even more as of late. the jokes, references and editing style has been really good.
+Carlos Hurtado Thanks for the kind words!
Channel Awesome I especially like it when Critic gets cut off mid-sentence/question before immediately moving on to the next part of the review
There’s barely any sketches in some of them now though
Wayne Connor and? The sketches are horrible and have always been the worst thing about new Nostalgia Critic
@@ChannelAwesome next Nostalgia Critic rewiews suggestions for Christmas:
A Loud House Christmas
Looney Tunes Christmas Carol
Arctic Dogs
Shelby the dog who saved Christmas
House of Mouse Merry Christmas
Home Alone 5
Jingle Jangle
Elf
Daddy's home 2
I love getting commercial breaks right as someone is getting slapped.
😂 I honestly forget that there's ads on UA-cam lol
*Loud ass slap*
**HERE AT ALDI’S-**
Thank god for AdBlock
Here in Cincinnati Ohio, we go from rain to snow to rain to ice to sleet to more rain to more snow then melted snow in one week of winter.
That's why we have a saying, "If you don't like the weather in Cincinnati, just wait five minutes."
You're from Cincinnati? I'M from Cincinnati! Skyline or Gold Star?
Sounds like Moscow if you combine all that at once and add lots of dirt
In Cleveland, one day it's snowing and 40° Fahrenheit and the next it's 80° Fahrenheit and sunny, it's very weird
Wow we have that same saying in Texas
I think everyone says that about there own hometowns lol
8:06 hey it's Harvey Bullock, looks like his old partner was Jim Gordon.
He cured himself of being a vampire.
