I was okay with his Spirited Away video because he honest up front that he hates anime so at least you knew what to expect.

His Incredibles review annoyed me a bit but he had some good points amongst his missing of the point so I let it slide.

I actually completely agreed with his Lion King review. I didn't like the movie and am still uncertain what other people thought was so great about it.

What really bothered me was his review of Watchmen. He starts off by saying how he doesn't read comics, which is fair enough. At least he is being honest and not trying to pretend to be something he is not. Then he goes on about how it is nothing like a comic book (how he knows what comic books are like if he doesn't read them is not explained) because of a list of several things that were all present, some in greater intensity in the comic.

My advice. Don't watch his reviews of anything you like. Even if he likes it, you will likely be annoyed or worse.

I really like his reviews. I think sometimes he misses the emotional points of a story, but I think he provides an interesting perspective anyways. Your average audience often gets so caught up in the emotions of a story they do miss that the plot as a whole doesn't make sense, and the result is that stupid movies make more money than they should. Honestly, I enjoy the reviews where he disagrees with me the most.

Here's my take on the controversial threesome.

The Incredibles; I love it and I will always love it. He is one hundred percent right that it is a relatively cynical story, but that didn't make me like it any less. In fact I think thats why I like it. I enjoy a little bit of well-written cynicism. The Incredibles mixes everything I love about imaginative kids films with everything I love about melancholy stories like Les Mis. He apparently does not enjoy cynicism, or if he does he prefers it kept separate from his imaginative kids films, like someone who doesn't like their gravy to touch their green beans. Well, he went out of his way to say he respects my right to continue to enjoy it, and I say its fine to return the favor.

The Lion King; I loved it as a kid but when I rewatched it as an teen I didn't like it so much. Now I know why. I maintain that it was entertaining and beautifully designed, but he's right about pretty much every point he makes. I won't ever claim to hate it, but now I know why its far from my favorite Disney film. For those who say he treats it too much like an adult film, I say what's wrong with that? Trying to reach adult-level quality didn't do Avatar; the Last Airbender any harm, did it?

Spirited Away; I think his problem here is twofold. He doesn't enjoy the genre, and he was misinformed about the basic story. Its not about a spoiled child, its about a sheltered and frightened child learning to take care of herself. I disagree with him but I'm not going to waste my time taking it personally.

I give him kudos for expressing his views even at the risk of being violently disagreed with by the madhouse that is fandom. I also give him kudos for being as objective as possible and trying to avoid being insulting towards those who disagree with him. If you don't enjoy his reviews or get anything out of them, there's nothing wrong with that. I just felt like he gets enough abuse and wanted to give him some love.
