Escape to the Movies: 2012

[Sonicron]

Tee hee hee. The public service announcement and the Michael Bay bit were genius, and I very much enjoyed the analysis of that one shot - just goes to show that you're one of those rare movie critics who actually know their subject matter. Well done!

 

[Enzeru92]

well actually made me want to go out and see the movie and funny joke about Micheal Bay

 

[weirdaljedifan2]

Of all of your reviews, THIS one is the funniest. Especially the PSA and the "that shot done by Michael Bay.

(can't breath, too funny)

 

[S-Unleashed]

This movie is not worth my time.

 

[Sexy Street]

I was shocked the low score 2012 got at ign, I was looking forward to it for awhile and I was planning on avoiding it, or was until I saw moviebob's review. Also 2012, it's the whole Y2K in a snappy new package.

You can't spell ignorance without IGN

...
>:C
No Shylock refrence this time, even if wouldn't have fit anywhere. Grr... -1 point!
But I may see this movie so +1

Well I don't like the 2012 idea and I'm not a fan of Disaster Movies as a whole. Your review has peaked my interest, but I'll still wait for it to come out on Demand rather then see it in theaters.

Off-Topic: I love the PSA part of the video.

 

[Sethzard]

Particularly good episode.

 

[shadow_hazuki]

The movie looks awesome, but calling people idiots for wanting to cling to the next big fear, as humanity is wont to do, is idiocy in itself. How many times have we not seen this happen, West Nile, Y2K, Bird Flu, Swine Flu... so what if people cling to a theory or minor outbreak claiming it to be the end-all. Its the nature of humanity to fear. So then I suppose we are, by nature, all idiots. :\

Loved the analysis of the shot. Good stuff.

Dude... you look exactly like one of my friends, weird.

But yeah, the whole Mayan calender thing is all just a bunch of misinformation and scare tactice so people go out buying survival equipment.

I am going to see this, I have a thing for end of the world themed movies.

 

[RTR]

Thanks Bob. Now I'm ashamed for not watching 10,000 B.C.

 

[Reneux]

yes, and for some reason when exploiting fears comes to mind i think of duct tape, and poor colin powell pointing at enlarged sattelite photos at the UN with words like umd transport labled on them!
Lovely bit thanks for mixing up the pattern a bit, and the film analysis was very fun!
fondly,

 

[historybuff]

I was expecting this movie to be awful! Wow.

 

[General_Qwetch]

Thank you for the public service announcement for idiots. =D

the michael bay version of the movie was the best!

 

[oathblade]

An excellent review as usual the rest...well it was lacking. Clearly you have preconceived notions of what the Myan thing means and decided to use your movie reviewer platform to bash people who don't believe the same way as you.

 

[MowDownJoe]

Can I get an enlarged screencap of the Michael Bay remastering of that scene? That was just awesome...

 

[CompanionCube]

I always thought Bob was skinny, great video!

 

[UtopiaV1]

While I agree with everything, EVERYTHING, you just said, I have to tell you... I don't like you Bob. You're becoming a cynical and bitter version of Yahtzee, except not as funny. You used to have your own style and jokes, and some of that still exists (case in point - the analysis of the California destruction shot, excellent points (plural) and funny comments on Micheal Bay's "directing") but bleeping out swearwords and constantly calling stupid people idiots is both childish and unnecessary.

Still, overall great review, i look forward to your next one!
