YMMV / ralphthemoviemaker

• Awesome Music: The songs he uses in certain reviews are pretty entertaining, especially the outro music in his review on Lifetime Movies.
• Broken Base:
  • The "X SUCKS" series is either Ralph's best videos where he rips apart genuinely terrible films...or it's heavy on Accentuate the Negative and comes off as a slog to watch. The later reviews (both in and out of the "X SUCKS") would slowly drop this, but would retain the same snark that Ralph is known for.
  • The "GHOST SHOWS SUCKS" review, except it's less the review itself and more the beginning of the review where Ralph furiously slams how "ghosts aren't real" and anything about the paranormal is a lie which some see as a Bias Steamroller. Actually lampshaded a few times in the tirade too.
• Crosses the Line Twice: From his video on Minions (2015): When going over movies corresponding to holidays, he mentions a movie for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That movie is The Birth of a Nation (1915). Wrong? Yes. Funny? Yep.
  • In Ralph's review of The Mummy (2017), Ralph highlights Tom Cruise's dedication as an actor by showing his reaction to the trailer for Tom Cruise Kills Himself 6.
  • Ralph basically sees the "Weird News" segment of Scorch's PFG TV as this.
  • During his Aladdin (2019) review, he starts eating a large container of Nutella, and says "I should've brought this out during Salò."
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Macon, the Loony Fan and celebrity wannabe was a hit with fans. Ralph's impressive performance certainly helps, too. So much so that the April Fools special starred him.
• Fandom Rivalry: His fandom doesn't mix too well with fellow movie reviewer Nyx Fears, now after Nyx voiced on Twitter how she hates Ralph's content, especially when she commented to a fan's question and showed disdain at a review where Ralph went into a rant about female characters.^note Nyx Fears a while back came out as transgender, and prefers female pronouns
  • Ralph's fans also don't get along well with horror movie reviewer Ryan Hollinger due to Hollinger criticizing Sepi for his immense Caustic Critic attitude.
  • Linkara fans also don't get along with Ralph's fans mainly because Ralph decided to do a negative review on ''Atop The Fourth Wall: The Movie", which at some felt was just Ralph's way of joining in the drama surrounding Lewis and OneyPlays over a joke Lewis found unfunny.
• Friendly Fandoms: With Adam Johnson's fanbase. Both creators have a tonal similarity even if their review styles are different and their fanbases overlap. Ralph and Adam now host a podcast with Alex from IHE.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: His Joker (2019) review garnered immense dislike from his own audience, primarily due to his overly aggressive digs at fans of the film, and his overly sarcastic comments about the film without giving an explanation of why. Many of his arguments boiled to "the film is worse than other films" or "its just an edgy comic book film", ignoring many elements of the film or outright lying by cutting certain scenes in the video. His hypocritical comment about getting hate for it, while insulting fans didn't help either, and it remains his most disliked video period.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In his 2015 review of The Dark Knight Trilogy, he jokingly states that every scene with the Joker seemed like it was directed by Martin Scorsese. Three years later, a Joker movie produced by Scorsese was announced.
  • Speaking of that review, Ralph's constant snark and mockery of Hildur Guðnadóttir's score for Joker (2019) becomes this when the film ended up winning two Oscars, one of them being Best Score.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "THIS IS OUR LIIIIFE!!!!"
  • Jokes about him being "gay" due to the fact he makes jokes about it himself, such as in the beginning of his Mystery Diners review where he proclaims himself to be a "closet homosexual".
  • He pretty much is the reason Mystery Diners is a meme, similar to the aforementioned Adam Johnson with Cool Cat.
  • They got T!
  • Love on a Leash.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Say it with us now! Growing up is great, growing up is lots of fun...
  • During his review of the Star Wars Cinematic Universe (Episodes 4-6), there are TWO sudden cuts to Ralph being beaten up by something off-screen and being suffocated by a plastic wrapper as he's gasping for help. It doesn't help that it becomes a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment either.
  • The ending of the Gotti review. Two mafia members, played by Ralph, goofily go to Ralphthemoviemaker to assassinate them, telling them that John Travolta sends his regards. Then Macon comes in and that's when things take a turn for the worst, namely, Macon shooting one of the mafia members in the face and then stabbing the other one while violently ranting to him about how "there's no life after death." Damn...
  • Macon's return in the Aquaman (2018) review, not to mention his Evil Sounds Deep voice.
  Lookie lookie what miss cookie brought in.
  • The ending to the Halloween review. It needs to be seen to be believed.
• Special Effects Failure: At the beginning of his Transformers: The Last Knight review, he has a scene where he sits on his couch talking to another character played by himself and you can tell he did a split screen for it, since his left elbow visibly vanishes when it shouldn't and reappears soon after. Ironic for someone who makes films.
• Tear Jerker: The Justice League (2017) review. Just the Justice League review.
  • Let's start off with Ralph, who has decided to take drugs and other harmful substances, eventually snapping at Macon when he asks him to do something. He clearly sounds (and looks) like he's at the end of his tether with it all.
  Ralph: Can't I relax for two seconds?! Without you guys fucking recommending a movie?!
  • Then there's the ending, where Macon knocks Ralph out and rants at him for ending his series. What really sells it is Ralph's performance and how pained he sounds as both Ralph and Macon.
  Ralph: Macon, I...I thought we were friends...
  Macon: Oh, friends...! Oh, now we're friends! Before you called me a retard and whatever the hell, but now that I got you tied up, and it's revealed that I'm actually a badass motherfucker, NOW you're coming at me..."Oh Macon! Oh, you're such a good guy!" How about, you suck my balls?!!
  • And the final seconds of the video, when Ralph announces that he isn't ending his series and that he and the viewer are going to have a good time. The look on his face and the music makes the ending on par with the ending of a movie like Oldboy (2003). He puts on a smile but it just about lowers the second the screen cuts to black. Oh, Ralph...
  • How about the ending of the Aquaman review? While it is mostly Awesome, Nightmare Fuel and Funny, there's something about the way Ralph asks Bruce Willis "can you help me?" that sounds so tragic. He sounds like a poor little kid who can't find his parents.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Macon blowing up Ralph's apartment building after ascending at the end of the The Covenant review.
