  • Stammer  - lol
    We love you, "Chester".
  • Reaprar  - Oh my god
    This is the greatest review I've ever seen in my LIFE!
  • windyshrimp
    "Eat Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh so people can think for themselves
    again." That may have well been one of the greatest qoutes ever.
  • freemonty
    "Its not like that boring black and white movie with social commentary and
    religious symbolism-- this movie has Theador Logan in it!" ;D

    And LOL at parenting skills, too.
  • BlueWaffle1929
    "I guess this advanced alien race doesn't believe in off buttons, especially
    when destroying planets, cause *pff* that's not important." Best. Line.
    Ever.
  • Sloth
    MOSQUITOS
  • Linkara
    Does the earth, in fact, even stand still?
  • triviageek57
    sorry for sounding like a "trivia geek" (:P) but if the earth stood
    still, inertia would cause everything on the planet to shoot towards one
    direction at like 50km an hour...and therefore we would all die. so in short:
    no, it cannot. lol
  • PulseOfTheMaggots515
    ya that's true, but i guess that was their original idea for killing off
    everything on the planet.
  • p0p0
    I hope there's a /sarcasm tag in there somewhere cuze it wasn't a literal title.
  • Erinaceus  - Nice Ted Logan Impression There...
    At least, I thought of it as Ted Logan (Keanu Reeves characters are just so
    bland and hard to distinguish, aren't they?) and then you confirmed it was Ted
    in the end.

    Most excellent, dude!

    I was hoping this new movie would be as politically relevant as its predecessor
    was in the 1950s, but lets face it, it was doomed from the moment they cast
    Keanu. As for its political message, they would've been better off turning
    Robot Chicken's famous Ted Turner "Captain Planet" sketch into a 90
    minute feature...because their message is essentially the same: "Prooootect the environment...or I'll fuckin' kill you! Captaaaaiiiiiiiinnn
    Pllllllllanet!
    "
  • NeonLights
    Other than Bill and Ted, this was probably Keanu's best role. An empty social
    outcast with absolutely no feeling, emotion, or connection with those around
    him? Great style for Klaatu!

    Not the best, but not the worst movie. Though like most of these videos, the Bum
    reviews were more entertaining than the moive =P
  • Mr. Vorhias
    "I WISH I COULD TURN INTO MOSQUITOS! ....Wait, no I don't! That'd be stupid..."

    Love that line. XD
  • Kimarous  - Gort; what kind of a name is that?
    "It sounds like a Swedish dessert made out of pig testicles..."

    Epic! And so true!
  • ZUI_QUAN_MASTER
    Finally some obscure Bill& Ted references
  • Erinaceus  - Oh,...
    And I'm just a littledisappointed you couldn't work in some sort of reference to
    "Staaaation"!

    Aw well. No biggie.
  • Destron D-69  - he ate his mom?
    bum backstory at last!:o
  • DanManX
    While I agree with everyone saying that the "Mosquitoes", the
    "social commentary" and "Rush/Moore" quotes (hey, that last one
    works so well...I COPYRIGHT THAT YOU HEATHENS!) are great, I think one stands
    above the rest:

    The one at the end that describes the whole thing so succinctly it screams of
    journalistic award-winning. "Seriously, The Day The Earth Stood Still with
    Keanu Reeves. How do YOU think it was?" I do believe that will become the
    movie's new tagline. :P
  • lahdeedah87  - The Bum Reviews are the best. ;D
    Hilarious! I have to agree with DanManX, the line at the end of the movie is
    perfect. Keanu Reeves. Does more really need to be said? :P

    I never realized that there was a 1950's movie The Day the Earth Stood Still
    (shows how educated I am). But I'm intrigued. Definitely have to look into
    seeing that. Especially since Multiplex also made reference to it.
  • batdude  - Keanu Brada Necktie...
    Erm Klaatu Brada Mosquito? I guess they left that line out of the movie for the
    same reason ash had trouble getting the Necronomicon.
  • Dectilon
    "It sounds like a Swedish dessert made out of pig testicles..."

    Hey, I resent that!

    I'd rather watch Bill&Ted again than watch this movie. I simply don't get it;
    why is Hollywood remake city now? If this is all they can do I can sympathize
    with the people who didn't want to give in to the Writer's Guild's demands. If
    they all suck, why should they get more money?

    Is it just me or is 'bad parenting' a recurring theme around here? :)
  • plan9  - Meh.
    I still thought it was an excellent movie with a really good message.
  • -Jerry-
    you should show some pics or video about the movie and then you are a bum so i
    you cant afford it.
  • DeSandman  - OMG! This is the bestest movie ever!
    Sike, this shit was horrible. But Bum's review was awesome. STATION!
  • TrangleC  - yes, but...
    Not that i'm keen on defending Keanu Reeves, but i think James Rolfe (AVGN) has
    a point in his review of the movie, saying that Reeve's lack of emotions and
    monotone voice are well suited for the character he's playing in this movie, for
    once. Saying the movie sucks because Reeves plays the main role is a bit like
    saying "Terminator" sucks because Arnold Schwarzenegger, who can't act
    either, plays the title role. Sometimes even a bad actor can be the right one
    for a certain role.
  • samanark
    When I saw the commercial for the movie, as soon as I saw Keanu's face, I just
    thought "Oh for fuck's sake." Great review; also, your Keanu impression
    was hilarious...and accurate.
  • Weilyn  - Hey!
    We swedes do not make gort out of pig testicles!
    Gort is made from sheep brains and moose feet, pig testicles would destroy the
    bouqette!
  • TKWolfman
    There is so much I could say about this movie, but it can be summed up like
    this: "Keanu Reeves in: SCI-FI JESUS 12!"

    To be fair, Keanu is not the only problem this movie has. A lot of it was just
    ridiculous. What really hurts, though...John Cleese was in it...and he wasn't
    even funny! WTFFFFFFFFFF?! DX
  • SsnakeBite
    How comes I love the Bum Reviews so much whereas I don't understand half of the
    things he says? :P
  • Nephilim  - Wonderful :D
    Great references to Bill & Ted(I mean will Keanu ever play a more suitable
    role?) and I loved the remark at the end about the original movie(which I love).
    Wonderful sarcasm.

    Keep up the good work :D
  • TheDudette  - No religious symbolism?
    Did you miss the walking on water? And the stigmata? And the raising people
    from the dead? And the dying for our sins?

    Honestly it feels like the two movies are duking it out for most Christly
    imagery. At least Keanu didn't adopt the pseudonym "Carpenter".
  • girlwiththeglasses
    I saw this movie...I really really was not pleased with it at all..The ending
    was very pointless and it lacked plot entirely..

    But ya did a great review! I kind of thought it to be stupid and pointless when
    GORT turned into mosquitoes as well...lol
