Don't get me wrong, I don't think MKA is a good movie, on the contrary, it is an epic fail, but it seemed to me this guy cared more about ripping on MK lore than on the actual movie, and there's where I draw the line. MKA was always meant to be esoteric, so trashing it, because you don't understand the story, is pointless, especially when there are like a trillion other valid dumb things to point out, like: Shao Kahn's cheap halloween mask, Rain dying without a fight scene, Sheeva dying without a fight scene, Baraka's cheap halloween mask, recycling Rain's falling-in-fire-scene, and many more things NC didn't point out. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if you're going to talk trash, talk trash that is actually valid to talk about.

We was tough on the first film, which is one of the best video game adaptations. I think he hit on most of the bad elements of this film, but didn't stress what makes them bad enough. For example the shot composition is all-time horrendous, and he didn't really touch on that. I saw this only a couple of years ago, and can't recall much selective memory is an evolutionary tool.

Yeah, like how they couldn't even spring for some face paint to make the actor who played Shinnok actually LOOK LIKE SHINNOK!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear, he was the ONLY fighter I didn't recognize when I first saw this! -

Nostalgia Critic isn't even meant to be taken seriously. His critiques are on (get this) nostalgic movies that everybody likes or used to like (including him) and then ragging on the ridiculousness of what he's seeing on the screen. And most of the time he goes polar opposite of fan opinion. In the Mortal Kombat review he rags on Johnny Cage constantly when he was probably the most likeable character in the movies.
.
I don't follow him too often, but the only movie that he gave a favorable review for was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, of which he's such a die hard fan of it he probably couldn't rag on it no matter how hard he tried.

He also gave a positive review to
HOOK
. In that video, he implies that he usually focuses on bad movies. It makes sense. His reviews are 1/3 proper analysis and 2/3 making fun of specific moments in the movie. -

Jesus you guys. I thought the review was hilarious and so was the first one (even though I like it). Even if he did made some inconsistencies, he has TWO beep ups lists he has. And like someone said, NC isn't supposed to be taken seriously. He's a comedian first, not a true critic. And believe it not, he and his bros actually enjoyed this for it's badness. Don't believe me? Here's what his bro said

If I am not mistaken, didn't he complain that there was always a fight scene in a movie that is based on a fighting game? I think the biggest problem with the "Super Mario Brothers movie" was trying to make an actual believable story based on a game of a plumber stomping on mushrooms and turtles.
