The Scrappy of Caustic Critics

I've watched several reviews of his in the past, but unlike those of the The Nostalgia Critic, The Spoony One, Red Letter Media, and S Fdebris? I can only stand him once. He's not funny, his points rarely are good or even make sense in the long view of things. He has a high Opinion Myopia and he honestly thinks that if he doesn't like a film, its a bad film. In the end he comes off as a mean-spirited bully who thinks he knows everything, and that if people disagree with him they're wrong and stupid.

Case in point, his reviews of Mel Brooks' films, as well as those of Spirited Away and The Lion King. On Spirited Away, he could have been like Doug from The Nostalgia Critic does: review something he has no experience with and try to make it funny (like his Thomas The Tank Engine The Movie review). But no, Confused Matthew goes and groups Anime into a single genre and says it sucks. Instead of even honestly analyzing the film as a whole too, he picks apart Spirited Away like he has a vendetta against it.

He also goes so far in the Mel Brooks films to insult people who like and adore them, and then goes out to say that the films he thinks are good, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstien had limited influence from Mel Brooks in their writing and production. It shows he just doesn't care about research or truthfulness, and at the end, like during his review of Men In Tights he asserts 'no one likes this movie, you think you do but you don't'.

And finally his clusterfuck known as The Lion King review. Simba acts like a child whose excited to be a king: Matthew labels him as an unlikable Royal Brat. Timon and Pumbaa are called 'greatest villains in Disney' even though they take Simba in, raise him, and treat him like a friend-Matthew thinks they are characters who only look out for themselves and were only interested in Simba for protection of them.

All in all, he's one of the worst internet critics and is genuinely and unlikable person.

Oh, I wouldn't say he's the worst...*nods ironically*.

I kid, though I think your review suffers from grammatical errors a lack of focus. Also, I'd avoid personal remarks in a review.

Book me today! I also review weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.

Have ou seen his review of Lion King 1 1/2? He says that if there was atleast one scene from that movie, where they show that they care about Simba he wouldn't have a problem.

The scene where Simba has a bad dream and Timon lets him sleep with them. There, one scene.
