Good review, Moviebob, and just as I was looking for a movie this evening. I probably will see this because of your review.

Hmm a short review for once, maybe if all movies were as entertaining as this or better, then Movie Bob would have less work to do. Zombie Land came out recently didn't it? Was hoping for a review of it over Surrogate. O well it's free so I still enjoy it enough to watch it and read all the posts about it.
OK. I'll think about it.
I don't think zombieland comes out until sometime in October...but I could be wrong.scarab7 said:
A'ight, I'm pausing the video here for a bit. It's good, all of your videos are good, but something I've noticed that keeps coming back is that when you have a static image, it very quickly becomes blurry. Sometimes blurry as fuck, so much so that you can only read the text because it's in size 60-odd font, or recognise the people in the image because you saw a clear half-second glimpse of them before the Attack of the Artifacts.
It's especially bad here, which is why I felt the need to comment on it. At 1:40, the text that appears becomes completely unreadable in under a second, it's too small to make out clearly through the fuzzy blocks of black and red, and there's too much to read in the half-second you have before Attack of the Artifacts 2: Electric Boogafuzzypants. Scrolling back a second didn't clear it up, so it's not on my end - I had to rewind to about 1:38 several times before I read the text completely (I'm not fast enough to pause the vid in time).
I don't know what's causing this, but it's always been a very big visual annoyance to me, and like I said, in this video, it's actually making it near-impossible to make out what's happening. It only happens with static images, moving pictures - even just pics sliding slowly across the screen - aren't affected. It could be the compression or something, I don't know. I'm not going to ask or tell you to "fix it", but I just wanted to bring it to your attention. (Even though by the time I post this it'll probably end up buried somewhere halfway down page 3.)

Well this is great. I was kinda expecting this movie to suck but I was going to go see it despite my inner thoughts. Why? Because Bruce Willis is Awsome!
But seriously though I'm glad that it actually turned out good and will proably end up seeing it tomorrow.

Loved the nod for Ponyo at the end. Now if I ever go see it I can say with a straight face "Well it got a good review."
I mean I love all kinds of story telling and being a teenager makes most people you meet your age not so understanding.

Lol, Ginger Snaps, I remember that move. It is pretty good, but I still want to watch Megan Fox eat people.
Seriously Escapist, are you not paying Movie Bob? If not, please send him a decent microphone or maybe better editing software.
Maybe the low-budget style is intentional. I quite like it, kind of original in a way.sirdanrhodes said:
Also, I guess I'll have to give Surrogates a look now, was planning on just ignoring it completely!
Im still pissed at that otaku rant you gave in the 9 movie review, what the hell man we aren't all like that, i thought someone like you would actually understand us but what was that attack for, we really did PRAY BADLY that 9 would give the cartoon industry a much needed facelift in order for their to be an awesome competition between america and the rest of the worlds awesome animators like miyazaki and that dude that made the persopolis movie ( i think it was a french flick o.o)MovieBob said:
Go see ponyo man, they say that movie was a kid flick but i actually liked it, it brought me back to that awesome moment i had while watching Totoro and it also gave me a bit of nostalgia on how weird it was to talk to a girl when i was a little dude >.<randommaster said:
Bob... Oh dearest movieBob, game overthinker, or whatever your handle is nowadays; it's been far past due to get better quality for your videos. Seriously, you've made so many videos and STILL this happens? What software are you using? Compressing it to all hell? Come on, this is nearly unreadable. In some parts is IS unreadable.
Ponyo was really cute! Hurray!
I was curious about Surrogates so I'm glad Movie Bob reviewed it.
