@IffySAM
You know, you could make a loop video of the Chester Caramelldansen and sync it up with the music.
I'd watch that over Nyan Cat.

11.07.2011 - 02:52 | LikaLaruku
& then make it a little different from everyone else's; use the Caramelldansen dance, but use Waka Laka or Dam Dadi Do instead.
-
11.07.2011 - 12:35 | FurramaBlasphemy! It MUST be Caramelldansen!
Though then I'm going to want a leek spin video.... I do hope Master Bum will facilitate this.

I might go out and see this
-
11.07.2011 - 02:23 | KMA10kIt's "Puss *in* Boots," for the record, not "Puss *and* Boots."
-
11.07.2011 - 12:40 | musiclover9293Good to know I'm not the only one who saw that.
-
11.07.2011 - 21:52 | LikaLarukuWhile we're at it, shouldn't it be Tom in Boots? Having a male cat named Puss or Pussy is like having a male dog named Bitch.
-
11.18.2011 - 23:51 | double.shelix
LikaLaruku, go to Wikipedia and run a search for "Puss in Boots" and see what comes up.

I... personally believe...
Miss South Carolina jokes aside, there is nothing wrong when a straight-up comedy is combined with serious adventure in a single story. A good example of that done right is probably webcomic Lackadaisy (go check it out!)
Also, nice Bum being a lover joke XD
-
11.07.2011 - 04:10 | Ally-Gator
Oh hey, another person who's heard of Lackadaisy. That's a great webcomic and you're right about the comedy/drama coming together nicely.
As for this movie, I have to say I'm much more enthusiastic about it than I was for the third and fourth movies (not even seen four, but I don't intend to). I won't see it in 3D, but I'll definately give it a watch.
-
11.07.2011 - 14:48 | Semudara
You should watch the fourth; it's pretty good, and will make you feel better about the time you wasted watching the third one.
-
11.07.2011 - 02:53 | LikaLarukuYou're the only other person I know besides me who liked Shrek 2 more than the first. I liked ALL of the movies, though I don't like Pixar or Dreamworks.
4 movies, 3 direct to DVD holiday specials & a spin-off. I guess they kept their initial promise of 7 Shrek movies & added one.
-
11.07.2011 - 04:11 | Ally-GatorI liked Shrek 2 more than the first, can I join the club? do we get jackets?

Actually it's 4 direct to DVD specials since they just added a Halloween one. When was this promise of 7 Shrek movies? Never heard of it.
I can't see why people wouldn't like Pixar (except for the Cars movies) and Dreamworks (except for The Madagascar movies, Over the Hedge and Shark Tale). Especially since Dreamworks is also a blanket for 4 of their underrated 2D movies and 3 excellent Aardman films (not to mention several live action movies). Istill don't see why everyone hates Shrek 4, I thought it was solid and much better than 3.
Anyway I agree with the actual review, the tonal shift was a bit jarring but not a deal breaker. I'll still enjoy watching this movie when it comes out on DVD.
-
11.07.2011 - 21:49 | LikaLarukuOkey way back in highschool, before Shrek 2 came out, I went to Dreamwork's website & the Shrek Website & read in interviews that they had planned 7 Shrek movies. I told everyone I knew in school that liked Shrek. Of course each movie, people kept wining about how each movie was worse than the last (lies!). For me they're all one really long movie broken into parts, like Lord of the Rings.
-
11.07.2011 - 21:43 | BooRat
I think there are more thn 3 direct to video releases as they seam to release a new one every Christmas and Halloween!?
-
My mother is dying to see this movie. I'm begging her that when she does go, to not shell out the extra bucks for 3D. I, myself, have been very iffy about going to see it considering how far down it is in the "Shrek Success" milking line.
Also, THIS DANCING BUM GIF MUST BE MADE!!!
-
OMG! I thought you were killed in your last review that must mean your a zombie bum!
*readies shot gun*
who would guess they would try to make a movie about a talking cat in boots is a mindf*ck.
-
11.07.2011 - 05:02 | Amaretta
I didn't really like it. And a lot of stuff bothered me. Like why if Humpty Dumpty was released for his crime, Puss in boots was supposed to rot in jail forever? same as the original Jack from the story that just exchanged someone elses cow? Life sentence for a cow? >
-
11.07.2011 - 05:39 | CarewolfSwitch the order of these double reviews. I don't mind the spoilers in the Bum reviews, they are part of the charm, but it gets weird when Doug then tries to hint around the spoilers. It would make more sense to see the Doug review first, and then the Bum review.
Help us out and change the order next time, if this pattern still apply ;)
-
11.07.2011 - 14:51 | SemudaraOr you could, you know, just watch them the other way around.
-
11.07.2011 - 05:44 | Guild Navigator
I had to take my son to watch this flick. It's not bad,but the scenes with Humpty-Hangover had me grinding my teeth. And that twist near the end had everybody in the aisles going "Uuu-oooo-whaaaa?"
-
11.07.2011 - 06:48 | catboy129
ok

11.07.2011 - 07:23 | Kossmeister
I was friends with an egg once too. I named him Egbert, because I wasn't big on subtlety at the time.
-
11.07.2011 - 09:10 | alldreamsfalldown
Puss AND boots?
-
"Puss AND Boots"? Only Sad Panda is allowed to immediately forget what the heck he just saw. This can't end well.
Okay, I'm done pretending to be offended. Entertaining reviews as always, Doug. Looking forward to your apology.

DOUG DID THE CARAMEL DANCE!!!
THE WORLD IS FINALLY COMPLETE xD
-
11.07.2011 - 10:56 | thatchickwithlonghair
I just saw the movie last night and thought it was cute. X3 You just want to cuddle Puss every time you see him! Liked the twist because I hadn't actually predicted it. I like when kids' movies can surprise you. But Humpty is one of the most unlikable assholes you'll ever see from a Dreamworks film. It's almost shocking.
-
11.07.2011 - 11:26 | Wolfram-And-HartI hope Doug finds that Puss in Boots movie in the 80's with Christopher Walken as Puss. That would be a decent Nostalgia Critic.
-
11.18.2011 - 23:57 | double.shelixHoly cow I totally forgot about that movie! Maybe because I watched it when I was four and had the flu... Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease review this movie!!!!!
-
11.07.2011 - 11:27 | EbalanceSTOP SUPPORTING SHITTY DREAMWORKS MOVIES!!!!!
And BTW the ONLY Shrek film that isn't horribly mean and a really bad example for children is the second one.
Dreamworks films are notorious for painting TERRIBLE lessons for children. So this film is no exception... sucky...
There are a select few that don't do that, recently, the second Kung Fu Panda movie had better morality, but SHREK IS MEAN... as a series it has awful morals, and is just really full of hate.
-
11.07.2011 - 13:17 | HanSK
someone is grouchy today
-
11.08.2011 - 04:27 | AlucardsQuestLet parents teach their children morality, not movies, music, games or whatever else. Movies can affect people, but it's up to parents to raise them. Don't go passing the buck. Also Dreamworks moral have been steadily improving since Kung Fu Panda. Check out Monsters vs. Aliens, How to Train your Dragon and MegaMind for proof.
-
11.18.2011 - 23:59 | double.shelixDon't you think that kids can learn how to behave by showing them examples of how NOT to behave? Especially considering that Shrek learns his lesson several times in each film.

11.07.2011 - 11:28 | derictorres
You really are a master editor Doug, this episode looks awesome.
-
11.07.2011 - 13:11 | DragonDandelion
Aw, yes, someone needs to animate the core TGWTG crew doing the Carmelldansen. ^^ I'd watch it fifty times.
Anyway, great review on both the Bum & Doug's parts... not sure if I'll watch it or not. On one hand, enough with the Shrek sequels- the first two were good but after that, oi. On the other hand though: KITTIES!
-
11.07.2011 - 13:16 | HanSKso, is is better than Shrek 3?
-
11.07.2011 - 14:17 | nostalgic90skid
Dumdumduuuum*OUH!* XD
find it and open some crack, LMFAO.
Heh. glad you liked the POTC movies. I'm a huge, huge fan on the other hand.

I personally like the twists of the last third of the film (Of course what follows will be spoilers, be warned). It shows Puss was right to be so suspicious in the begging of the film, and shows how painful the schism in their friendship was when puss was elevated to town hero. But What I liked the most was that Humpty wasn't just another villain, not just "I'm bad" "Ok, -vanquish-" I love how Puss Echoes his mother with "You're better than this!" and also talks about the values of home. But hey, to each their own.
-
01.24.2012 - 00:11 | KarriI didn't care much for the end of the film.
The betrayal and monster didn't come as much of a surprise from me. It just seemed obvious.
For that matter, I liked Humpty as a villain. Ruthless, feeling wronged by everyone, great manipulator.
What I didn't like was the heel face turn. He never seemed like he had the introspection for a stunt like that.

I gotta say, I love ya Doug but watching your reviews right under the bum reviews sucks the life right out of them both. I liked it better when you just had a title card at the end of the bum review, that was enough. And for some reason your performance of chester has been, a little off the last couple times. Not sure why. Still love these, keep up the good work.
-
11.08.2011 - 04:29 | AlucardsQuestIt's funny that he based the Bum on the voice he did for his review of Cloverfield simply because he liked the voice and wanted to keep doing it... and now the Bum sounds nothing like that.

WoW, Doug! You end your reviews the same way I end phone calls.... Anyway great review. I loved the movie, and i am taking my aunt to see it for a birthday present (she's a cat lady so it works.) Personally, I found the egg as an unneeded character through half of the movie. I mean he was a good character, but once he wore the sweat suit I was little out off....
And i loved the bum the whole 'when did I get an audience' joke was killer! Hope you go and see "In Time" and "Anonymous" I'd like to hear your views on them.

11.07.2011 - 21:36 | Something2say
Here's what I think of the Shrek series.
Shrek 1- I loved it
Shrek 2- I REALLY loved it. Best of the series
Shrek 3- It's just ok. Nowhere near as good as the last two, but still ok.
Shrek 4- Same as 3, but a little better.
Puss In Boots is my favorite character and I love that he has a spin off film. Haven't seen it yet, but can't wait to!
-
11.07.2011 - 21:41 | BooRatSounds like they used this movie to ripoff another big budget CGI animated movie another studeo is releasing called Jack the Giant Killer in away!
I liked the 1st 2 Shrek movies but 3 didn't do anytihng for me and I haven't seen the 4th!
I did like Puss in Boots's character in those movies ad i'll probally see this one some day when it's on DVD but I ain't planning on seeing it in theaters!
I hate when the twist ending is that one of the lovable new characters turns out to be a trator or something and it ruins the rewatchablity of the film because you now know all those scenes of them being friends with the good guys is basically all a lie!
I'd like to see you do a Bum Review on Immortals when it comes out this upcoming weekend, Mr. Walker!

The meme's probably almost old enough to be nostalgic, isn't it?
