->''"This movie is nothing but stuff! It's meaningless, empty stuff that has no purpose! But it's... it's... [[SoBadItsGood It's the BEST stuff!]]''

-->--'''Rich Evans''' on ''Double Down'', ''[[WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst]]''

-->''Of simple plots and actions the episodic are the worst. I call a plot episodic when there is neither probability nor necessity in the sequence of episodes.''
--->--'''Creator/{{Aristotle}}''', ''Literature/{{Poetics}}''

-->--'''''WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic''''' on ''Film/TheRoom''

->''"...Whithouse’s stories have an unfortunate tendency to collapse into “[[XMeetsY x in a y]]” formulations, but never before has he managed anything quite so spectacularly pointless as the inexplicably empty fake Russian village. I can only assume it was selected because someone realized that an abandoned generic village and an underwater base almost completely lacking in interesting visual design was going to add up to the least visually engaging episode ever and so decided to throw some [[DirtyCommunists Soviet propaganda]] posters around. Because why not."''

->''"There are so many holes in it, I think of the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Battle of the Bulge]], comparably, as flatter than a Kansas plain. Not the ''Smallville'' Kansas ones, of course, which [[CaliforniaDoubling teem with mountains and have a waterfront.]]"''

->''"In order to 'rehabilitate' him, Novicorp transplants his mind into a baboon (don't ask), but things go haywire and Fingal ends up in the central computer, where he creates his own virtual reality simulation of ''Casablanca'' to pass the time while he destroys much of the world. Yes, he's '[[DesignatedHero the hero]]'...And if you ever wondered what Humphrey Bogart would have been like if he were Puerto Rican, [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative your dreams are about to come true]]."''

'''Matt''': It’s weird how some arbitrary things work and others don’t. “Jet Girl has a lie detector just [[RuleOfFunny because she’s smart and she does]]” is fine, but “the girls go to this junk store in a WP-branded tank [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment because they feel like it]]” is a head-scratcher.\\

->The plot is so flimsy it's painful, like a man with no bones in his arms [[ServiceSectorStereotypes trying to serve you coffee]]... the plot is like a recent car accident victim: staggering back and forth with bits of windscreen in its face for a while before finally collapsing and bleeding out into a roadside ditch.

->'''Chris''': Jet’s lie detector is one of [[ActuallyPrettyFunny my favorite little bits]] about this movie, if only because it shouts “LIAR!” in a very accusatory robot voice.

->'''Chris''': On one level, you have to respect how much they’re throwing at the wall, but there’s a huge gap between what sticks and what doesn’t.

->Why does this matter? It doesn't! You could make trading cards out of the number of pointless scenes from this movie!

->This movie just feels like a bunch of random scenes stringed together between the beginning and the end!
