JLeaber  - Great Review   |2008-10-28 10:59:23
avatar This is the review i have been waiting for since NC posted the list and it did
not disappoint

DOES NOT COMPUTE! XDDDD
rayvac   |2008-10-28 11:02:20
avatar God I hated this movie, actually saw it in the theater. Load of crap, even
the action was horrible. No good fighting (yea in a movie called Double
Dragon), that's right no good fighting.

Brutal to watch. Yuck. Great Review
NC

avatar And of course, this is going to lead to the NC having amnesia and doing the top
11 forgotten Nostalgia classics.
But this, was hilarious. You had me cracking up
with the Mickey Mouse and Popeye impressions. I look forward to Howard the Duck.
GamerKT   |2008-10-28 11:09:32
avatar Yes, you have been dying a lot =p I coulda swore you were gonna reference the
movie Max Payne at the end...ah well.

Awesome review and I see that you used the M. Bison again, I never get tired of
that. And I also see that you acknowledge what fans have noticed.

avatar I...I...

Just when I thought these movies couldn't get any stranger, along
strolls "Double Dragon".

No really, I spent a good chunk of the review
in a complete state of stupor on my face. I mean...why...how? How many keggers
of acid were involved in the "creation" of this movie?! Absurd doesn't
even begin to describe this thing!

But I kinda dug how you got a little
"meta" on us at the end. Let's hope you survive through the next review.
May Optimus Prime stay by your side!

Oh, and M. Bison returns, yay!
animerocksautistic  - I seem to be having video issues   |2008-10-28 11:25:13
avatar The video was slow to load then just stops at 10 minutes. Anyone else getting
that?
MoronUnited   |2008-10-28 11:28:26
NC never fails to disappoint.........great episode as always! =D
Rhomega   |2008-10-28 11:34:03
I was wondering if you were going to use the "Of course!" gag. Other
than that, what a piece of cinematic garbage.

You're the Nostalgia Critic: you
watch horrible movies very, VERY loosely based on video games so I don't have
to!
Rockula   |2008-10-28 11:50:13
avatar Every movie should have a suicidal mailman.
Rattrap007   |2008-10-28 12:01:37
avatar Love the Bison gag. Never gets old. I just wish I had an animated avatar of your
mugshot. That was hilarious!
panopticon20  - ...   |2008-10-28 12:10:43
I was actually waiting for you to do this, just so you could destroy my precious
childhoof memories of this astounding, and groundbreaking, film.

=P

But,
seriously, I know that 90% of all of the movies I loved as a kid were all pretty
bad *cough*Power Rangers Movie*cough*, but I still love them for old time's
sake.

Great review, as always.
Zenergy   |2008-10-28 12:22:23
avatar You have been dying a lot lately. Maybe you should go on a Die-et.

Mortal
Kombat was a better movie than Jurassic Park was.
OmegaWarrior   |2008-10-28 12:25:33
avatar This may be the best NC since The Wizard! Definitely worth the wait!
NegaJoe   |2008-10-28 12:27:06
avatar Hey come on man, just hit the critic with a phoenix down, he'll get better.


Is it me or are the movies NC reviews getting more and more craptacular? But
that's okay though, that only makes the review funnier. I think it's time for
the critic to review......(gulp)........Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
SimonW  - YAYS!!!   |2008-10-28 12:29:36
avatar As always with your videos, I rate 5 before watching the actual video!

I
remember this movie (barely), it was so long ago since I saw it I forgot mostly
about it! But, since it was a shitty movie I did not pay attention to it.
Anyway, onto reviewing your review! lol.

I dunno, I thought Mortal Kombat (the
movie) was mildly decent. But no, I can't recall any movie based off video games
that would be classified as "great" or even "good".

"It's
the most shit-smacking-whore-eating-digusting piece of retro-ass I have ever
seen in my entire life!" Did I sense a slight Cheaster A Bum-esque in that
comment (though for a negative rather then positive effect)?
"No, this is
the plot to Surf Ninjas." Aside from the whole medallion-thing, YEAH!
OH MY
GOD!!! I don't believe it! It is the bad-guy from Terminator 2: Judgement Day!
Except, with differant coloured hair and a goatee and dodgy moustache! But it is
the same guy!
Yeah, "New Angeles"...since when did they change the name
in 2007?
Well, at least the main "heroes" are not called Bimmy and
Jimmy.
OH MY GOD (again?)! The Power Core gang leader lady is that lady who
plays Phoebe in Charmed!
Geez, they DO just get random people to play in this
movie! ;D

Anyway, a great review (as ever) and look forward to your next video,
NC! ;D

Erinaceus  - Robert Patrick: T-1000 Ice   |2008-10-28 12:30:50
avatar I didn't even know there was a movie for Double Dragon until now...

I couldn't
be bothered to identify any of the other performers in this film...I was too
busy gawking at Robert Patrick's hair! Something has finally supplanted Kurt
Russel's flattop in Stargate as the standard-bearer for ill-conceived hair cuts
in major motion pictures.

But on the subject of game-movies, I liken their
sucking to expecting a mechanic to pull off successful open heart surgery.
Though you've given him the right tools, he's the wrong guy for the job. So if
the game-movie stigma is ever to be lifted, it must be headed up by the right
director. As opposed to cynically handing it off to professional hacks like
Brett Ratner, or worse, people who shouldn't be legally allowed to use a camera
to even film home movies. I speak, of course of a certain German fellow whose
name shall not be mentioned as I believe the utterance of that name conjures a
profanity far far worse than any swear word in any language.

avatar "I just found out I have cancer.
HAR HAR HAR HAR!"

That made me laugh
so hard. Amd Bison... classic

avatar ^whoops... typo "and"
A Knothole Resident  - suggesiton for another video game movie   |2008-10-28 12:35:56
avatar The next shitty video game movie review should be Sonic the Movie from the 1999.
It was basically an anime split into 2 episodes but packaged in the US as a
Sonic movie but it was just full of fail. You thought Pokeman the First Movie
was bad, check out Sonic the Movie. LOL @ Ice 1000
Cloba   |2009-03-13 16:09:38
Hey, that movie wass pretty decent! It's certainly better than all the other
movies based off video games.
Wermin   |2009-04-10 05:26:28
Ehhh... no
Cloba   |2009-03-13 16:10:13
I WANT A HONKING MUGSHOT!!
Fairmonkey   |2008-10-28 12:39:02
avatar Great Vid NC. It's one of your funniest in a long time.
Erinaceus  - I just IMDB'd This Sucker...   |2008-10-28 12:45:15
avatar It claims one of the film's writers is Paul Dini! Paul Dini! Of Batman: TAS
fame! I guess nobody bats 1.000.

Oh and to reiterate: Robert Patrick's hair
is the worst thing in this film. Even worse than all the mohawks (even Bo-Abobo
or Bo-Boboboboo(?) whatever) worse than Alyssa Milano's stint as a butch
blonde, worse than its shameless plug of its own game.
Punky  - OF COURSE!!!   |2008-10-28 12:47:39
avatar Every time you die Doug, I become a Widow again so STOP DYING OR I'M CALLING MY
LAWYER!!
This review kick Double dragon in the nuts and Make Bison come to life
again
KICKASS!!
HOTsuma91   |2008-10-28 12:47:48
avatar The first half was funnier than the 2nd half, lol. Very good point and example
about having the subject matter WITHIN the realm of the movie, the LotR example
was brilliant!

I didn't really like how the Bison joke had a prep for it, it
should have just happened. More natural, but it's your video! Haha, and the same
goes with coming back after being shot to say something. But again, just noting
here. I really look forward to the next one!
-C

PS: I have to agree with the
other members, Mortal Kombat wasn't THAT bad, not nearly as bad as Street
Fighter or this. After all, they're making another MK movie, what's the status
of SF and DD? Zip. Thank God. If you thought MK had pointless action sequences,
MK:A is even worse. If you don't review it, I will after I finish my current
one.
FREAKFANATIC  - So many bad videogame movies!   |2008-10-28 12:48:38
Its almost like if Hollywood like to piss us off,'cause if that's the case, then
way to go Hollywood, 'cause you are doing a fantastic job, you bastards! >
