2 | * AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Following the polarising reception of his ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' review, he was terrified that his ''Film/SevenPounds'' review would garner a similar reaction. On the contrary, it's regarded as one his best episodes and even managed to change Creator/DougWalker's opinion on the film. |
3 | * GrowingTheBeard: Film Brain's general setup hasn't changed, but there's a general change in focus from the early Bad Movie Beatdown episodes and especially following the hiatus. His voice has got more relaxed, and his ''Series/{{Screenwipe}}'' influence has become more obvious. |
4 | * HePannedItNowHeSucks: |
5 | ** Film Brain got a bit of a backlash after panning CultClassic ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}''. The hate for this is a weird one, seeing how the film was critically panned when it was first released (''Entertainment Weekly'' even called it a complete ripoff of ''Film/TheMatrix'') and it's a mild CultClassic at best. He gives nods to the reaction in later reviews, but made it clear that he stood by his opinion of the film. |
6 | ** This happened after he gave a lower rating to ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' than the aforementioned ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen''. |
7 | ** His review of ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd'', despite the film having already gotten mixed reviews. He did try to stem this by having WebVideo/{{Welshy}} do a counterpoint to the review to display some of the legitimate arguments that could be made against his, while still giving his honest opinion on the subject. |
8 | ** Film Brain got some fire from ''Film/JamesBond'' fans who felt he was extremely unfair with ''Film/DieAnotherDay'', and many argued that ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'' was a much worse movie (although, many ''other'' Bond fans would agree with him). |
9 | ** His crossover review of ''Film/BatmanReturns'' with WebVideo/BennettTheSage, to the point that [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2419444/combined the episode's IMDb page]] has received seven 1/10 ratings out of fourteen votes. |
10 | * HilariousInHindsight: Based on ''Film/BladeTrinity'', ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and ''Film/{{RIPD}}'', he claimed that Creator/RyanReynolds was kryptonite for comic book movies. Reynold's managed to turn things around with both [[Film/Deadpool2016 Deadpool]] [[Film/Deadpool2 films]] with him as the lead star proved to be critical and commercial hits. |
11 | * LGBTFanbase: Less for {{fanservice}} (though a lot think he's a cutie), more for his hatred against homophobia. He also gave a strong black fan base for his hatred of racism, too. |
12 | * TheWoobie: Borders on this in his ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' review, when he [[HeroicBSOD breaks down]] upon seeing the infamous "enemy scrotum" scene, having an especially hostile [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] call him out on his original written review of the film, [[RuleOfThree and]] realizing his mistake while Spoony sarcastically speculates on the symbolism of the aforementioned scene. |
