Warning: The narrator's voice is annoying. Like, really REALLY annoying. He's doing like a half-assed Steven Wright impression or something. But he makes a lot of excellent points and the review ends up being very entertaining. But um, also, it's 70 minutes. Here's Part 1:
70 minutes is long as fuck especially for a review.

I sat through Spoony's rants that were 2 hours and sometimes his playthrough of Final Fantasy VIII was like 8 hours long, so I can deal with 70 mins

I actually watched the entire thing and yes...quite entertaining. I especially like his points on the light saber battles, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Yeah, pretty much every point he makes is great. I know it was an early one, but I especially enjoyed "Can you name the main character?"
Well then Syd I think he should write an article instead, that voice is too much.

That was truly unbearable. Can he type? He should try that.

The guy's voice kinda sound like it was modified somehow, like he was going out of his way to not sound normal or ran it through one of those voice-changing programs.

He claims to be an old man with grandkids, which I find dubious. I agree the voice is probably altered.
The voice actually doesn't bother me. If anything, I think it fits the theme of his review.
At first, I thought 70 minutes was going to be too long because a lot good 80's action flicks are only 80-90 minutes. But considering I can sit through the commentaries of most movies that are much longer, maybe it's not that bad.
Anyways, I'm through the first couple of parts, and I have been laughing my ass off. Then again, I am easily amused.

Plus he mentions that he's a serial killer who murdered his wife. Who knew Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs was such a Star Wars nerd?
And it's interesting that someone mentioned commentaries, but as of the last few years, I'm more entertained by a lot of commentaries over the actual movies.
Every point made regarding Qui-Gon is spot on. He's immoral, illogical, hypocritical and essentially pointless to the story. And his presence really takes away from Obi-Wan.

Aside from how concise his breakdown of the boring is, "Whats this! They left shit in my bin! My plastic bin!"
It's not rape if you rape everyone who accuses you.

Wow, what are the odds? I randomly remembered him earlier tonight and re-watched his Phantom Menace review, saw all the folks chatting about how tonight was the night for his Attack of the Clones review. Timing!
This guy's reviews are great, and I've even grown to like his murderous-old-man shtick.

Believe me, I really want him to finish this off with Episode III and then do Indiana Jones 4. I mean I've honestly thought about sitting down and doing a review of it, but I don't think I would ever be able to sit through that steaming pile of shit again.
