  1. Classic Star Trek is like Pizza. Even when it's bad, you can still enjoy it.
    1900
  2. When Disney announced the Star Wars books weren't canon, I thought "Great! They've clearly got a very specific plan for the upcoming sequels." I was an idiot.
    607
  3. Patrick Stewart's performance in this film is nothing short of astonishing. You really see how a high-calibre actor can lift a movie to classic status.
    480
  4. The sarcasm, it's out of control! 😂
    355
  5. “Total Recall” was a rubbery mess, but was also hugely entertaining. I’d take rubber masks, and a good script over CGI every time.
    327
  6. I watched The Matrix before the internet ruined everything. An unexpected classic!
    249
  7. If there's one thing I like more than action, and great story-telling it's diversity and box-ticking! Well done, the MCU!
    151
  8. My theory is this all occurs on one of Q's hemorrhoids.
    138
  9. I had no idea this movie was a misanthropic hatchet job. The marketing really did do a great job.
    137
  10. I’m told it’s not the miserable, edgy, poorly-written mess that was “Picard Season 1”, but I’m not taking any chances. 👍
    135
  11. I haven't seen it... I now know not to bother. Thanks Critical Drinker. P.S. I'm currently watching Amazon's "The Boys". Good call!
    97
  12. I was so stoked when I first heard about Marvel's idea of a multiverse. Now, if I never see another superhero movie, it'll be way too soon.
    80
  13. Rian Johnson really subverted expectations with "Last Jedi". For example, I was expecting it to be watchable.
    77
  14. That's a lot of wings.
    46
  15. Falling Down was a classic... You're kinda rooting for Michael Douglas's character at first, but gradually, you realise you're backing the wrong horse. The Burger employee was in desperate need of his face shooting off, though.
    45
  16. Next one... Predator 5: Assignment Miami Beach.
    37
  17. John Wick was successful, not because of the action, but because of the action-free, tense build-up. By the time you've seen Wick make his first kill, we're on the edge of our seats.
    35
  18. Why do women in cinema think that pulling themselves up means putting men down?
    32
  19. Yep. Dad here. I cried like a bitch.😂
    30
  20. Having said all that, I'd still ride Noomi Rapace like a stolen bike, given the opportunity.
    29
  21. I don't think that's fair... Some of us find drug-addled lesbians throwing up, whilst swearing at Picard to be very much in the optimistic narrative of Star Trek.
    27
  22. I got through only two episodes of She Hulk. After the second one, I watched Lawrence of Arabia. LoA is such a great film, and if you watch it after watching She Hulk, it's even better!
    24
  23.  @novadust6195  Star Trek V is supermarket pizza, but put a little extra cheese on it, and you're all set. (Star Trek V had a lot of extra cheese)
    23
  24.  @jonathanlee5314  I'm a big Star Wars fan, and will even watch the more mediocre entries. Hell, I even watched the Holiday special. Twice. I have yet to watch all of "Rise of Skywalker". I can stand the gender politics, the racial double-standards (John Boyega sidelined), and even the lurching, incoherent plot, but it was just so. bloody. boring.
    20
  25.  @S13wilde  yeah, like I'm really gonna answer that question 🙄
    17
  26. We will never see the likes of Star Trek NG's optimism again. Sadly.
    17
  27. Agreed. I enjoy my rug. It is ornate, with an interesting pattern, and I prefer it unpulled.
    13
  28. I feel sorry for Brie Larson, at this point. She's a reasonable actress, who just got caught up in all the "girl boss" cobblers, and ran with it. I hope her project works out.
    12
  29. I've got to be honest, here... The thought of this movie featuring a young and vital Indie has to be a draw.
    10
  30. Another great video from Angus McHaggis-Kilt.
    10
  31.  @Ensign_Cthulhu  sadly, during interviews for Rise of Skywalker, it became apparent they completely changed direction after Last Jedi.
    9
  32. Conversely, has anyone seen "Boss Level" on Amazon? It must have cost about £1.50, but it's immensely entertaining.
    9
  33. @Swen discovery would be a dog turd that a purple-haired SJW fashioned into a pizza shape.
    9
  34.  @thedragon133  yeah, Picard was total dog shit. 😂
    8
  35. Wise words. If it's not LGBQXZ I'm not interested. Pointless diversity forever!
    8
  36. I'm looking forward to E.T.: The Video Game: The Movie.
    7
  37.  @Noonesbusiness  It's not like that's how it works in any other industry. It seems oddly specific to film.
    6
  38. Oh yeah, there's a second part. Jolly good.
    6
  39. I still haven't seen this film... I think its one of those films everyone else has seen and no one has
    5
  40. "I was confident it would live up to my expectations".... Were you though, really? A sequel? (entertaining review, though)
    5
  41. I'm still shocked he directed Aladdin. 😂
    5
  42.  @pst5345  Having cared for someone with dementia, I can confirm his performance was so authentic it was heartbreaking.
    4
  43. If I wasn't bald-as-a-coot, I'd dye my hair purple.
    4
  44.  @onion_wind  just a fun action flick. No gender or identity politics, just action.
    4
  45. Has anyone seen the final product? Is it actually watchable? I've always enjoyed watching Klaus Kinski. Nosferatu was a classic.😊
    4
  46. The title of this movie also answers the question "could I be arsed to watch this?"
    4
  47.  @josay3394  it's still got cheese. If there's nothing else in, a supermarket pizza will do. If there's nothing else on, Star Trek V is more than acceptible.
    4
  48. There's a lot of T2 clips in this review. It made me feel both nostalgic and slightly sad.
    4
  49.  @zlipus  To me, Prof X finally having a moment of clarity, and recalling the harm he caused was utterly stunning. Again, the acting made this scene.
    3
  50. You bloody love Brie Larson, just kiss and get it over with.
    3
  51. This looks terrible, why haven't I ever heard of it??? Oh, I answered my own question.
    3
  52. I’m guessing brothel beer is quite expensive. That comment would not make sense on any other Batman review video.
    3
  53. ...A "horrifyingly good" glimpse of a 70's hairy-growler, if I remember.
    3
  54. @Villiam Hofgaard... Anchovies.
    3
  55. Meh, never watched it. Thanks for the heads-up. I guess all shows shit-the-bead after a few series. These days it's lazy gender politics replacing ridiculous plots.
    3
  56. Seeing this tomorrow. Can't wait.
    2
  57. No, it's mainly homeless people and rats spreading typhus, these days.
    2
  58. I can't be the only person who's bored of the MC bastard U?
    2
  59. It's nice that the highlight of this year's Oscars was actually intentional. Good old, John Cena 😂
    2
  60. I didn't see any pointy tits. 😢
    2
  61. I'm getting a real heresy vibe from this. 😂
    2
  62. I'll take mediocrity over an unfocused mess, full of virtuous nonsense, pointlessly-vague character motivation and CGI that would make a 90's action flick look modern. (Mentioning no MCU's) Yes, this movie is ten years out-of-date. Ya know what else is ten years out-of-date? Fun!!!
    2
  63.  @olliefoxx7165  honestly, watch a classic film after She Hulk... It turns the great into the sublime.
    2
  64. I do care what celebrities think... How else can I easily identify the nonsense opinions of those who only have a fleeting daliance with reality?😂
    2
  65. I think I speak for everyone who watched this trailer when I say ‘what the hell is this bollocks?’
    2
  66. They took the saviour of the planet and berated him for being "male presenting"... Clearly, no one involved watched the sheeite-fest that was "Ant Man: Quantumania".
    2
  67.  @Eidolon1andOnly  bloody phone. Thanks ☺️
    2
  68. Funny strange or funny ha ha?
    2
  69.  @strategery101  Quaid! Quaaaaaid!
    2
  70. High praise,.indeed 😂
    2
  71.  @kohaiame2691  just report it.
    2
  72.  @thefriar8883  Yeah, the new shows... As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn't feel grubby, or depressed watching Star Trek. 😁
    2
  73.  @grammernotzi  I was referring to the quality of the pizza, rather than the toppings. Mind you, I don't understand how anyone can eat anchovies. 😀
    2
  74. @AbrasiousProductions  maybe there shoulda been more pineapple.
    2
  75. I have avoided The Covids until now... No jumped-up Kubrick impersonator is gonna change that.
    2
  76. I'm sure Dutch instructed his men to get somewhere, but I can't remember where, Dammit.
    2
  77. It's a superhero film... They're supposed to be fun!?
    2
  78. Peter Dinklage... He's not Happy.

  79.  @misss.o.j.  "You are my Preperation H, mon Cap-I i-tan!"
    2
  80.  @alexlemonds2838  something tells me you're more of a hardcore fan, than I.
    2
  81.  @alexlemonds2838  that's a broad geek spectrum ya got there. 😁 Star Trek NG was probably the first time I got into sci-fi, and the 90's was a blur.
    2
  82. I'm from Grimsby, a town renowned for it's quality fish industry. "The Little Mermaid" is not being shown here.
    2
  83. It was a stupid comment. Haven't we all made stupid comments, before now? Cancel cancel culture.
    2
  84. I don't know how to watch the first few episodes of WandaVision. Ironically?
    1
  85. Yeah, that pretty-much sums it up.
    1
  86. Feel free to mess with the narrative of Last Jedi during this fixing process. No one will notice... Chase. Casino. Fight scene. Wait for Rise of Skywalker to finish the job.
    1
  87. Jeremy Renner is so tired of her shit.
    1
  88. Hollywood studios are like oil tankers. They take a long time to course correct and are full of toxicity.
    1
  89. I couldn't even tell you Brenden Fraser's pronouns.
    1
  90. I liked it. I like my entertainment obvious, and it was.
    1
  91.  @wildmoose3979  The Character died in 2008. At least we get to bask in past glories, which is essentially all that's left when it comes to cinema. Well, now I'm depressed.
    1
  92.  @Unapologeticweeb  I wouldn't argue against that point.
    1
  93.  Wayne Patrick  Make it so!

  95. I hope this gave Netflix all the credit with Black Rock they wanted.
    1
  96. (lubes up) Okay, let's get this over with.
    1
  97.  @danbaumann8273  It's not something I've experienced in the office... Ambitious women who'll walk over everybody else, yes, but not those that would just walk over men.
    1
  98.  @gmeeer9165  I'm not taking orders from a hedgehog... I'll set my dog on you! 😉
    1
  99.  @danbaumann8273  Ah, I getcha.👍
    1
  100. I hope they change the locks.
    1
  101. Never mind quality, is it diverse??? (only kidding, I don't give a monkey's about that)
    1
  102. And the award for "Most Worthy" goes to... Oh, who cares?
    1
  103. Common sense, well presented, you racist.
    1
  104. Well, now I'm depressed.
    1
  105. I forgot how good Ethan Hawke was. I guess we could thank Moonknight for that.
    1
  106. This was part of a renaissance for Stallone. This and Cliffhanger.
    1
  107. This was written, yes? By a person?
    1
  108. Another great video, but please stop showing Mila Jovavich. She's easy on the eyes but not on the ears.
    1
  109. I wish it was called "super rex" in the actual film.
    1
  110. I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It got a lot of hate upon release. It took some risks. Not all of them worked, but they were all watchable.
    1
  111.  @lukescrew1981  then enjoy your CGI-riddled, identity politics showcase.
    1
  112.  @lukescrew1981  can you imagine if it. Actually did end with Endgame? Talk about ending in a highnote.
    1
  113. @From the Soil I'll stick with Full Metal Jacket. Watched that again, recently, and realised the fat bloke wasn't that fat. Damn you, middle age!
    1
  114.  @acrosstundras  With salty beards?
    1
  115. I heard the Disney dwarves are now called "Lefty", "Judgy", "Pervy", "Groomy" and "Doc". (Doc has a doctorate in gender studies)
    1
  116. It can't be worse than Kenobi, and we watched that shite.
    1
  117. You know it's a dull movie when you wonder whether, or not, to watch The Drinker's critique of said film. (I still did)
    1
  118.  @jakubrejak1114  “edgy” used to be entertaining, but then for most us, life became more edgy, and we want good, old fashioned escapism. Also, “gritty” isn’t a good substitute for story telling.
    1
  119.  @athaphian  I watched the first episode. 😴
    1
  120.  @yashkaliapiano  that's when the drinker got his "Brain right".

  121. I wish to extend your turd metaphor... How ever awful it is, you'll force yourself to watch it, anyway,
    1
  122. There are few modern movies with a positive father figure. So few, that upon watching Avatar 2, it was both jarring and a breath of fresh air.
    1
  123. Bratwurst. I mean first!
    1
  124. @BatCatDickBabsJayTimBabyYoda StephCassDukeDamiKate I'm not a sausage, either.

  125. I don't care what he says, Gal Gadot is hot AF. 🔥👍
    1
  126. The Darcy character was shockingly unfunny.
    1
  127. I saw it at the cinema. It was very entertaining, however, I didn't think the dialog was as strong as the rest of the film. Still, Urban IS Dredd.
    1
  128.  @skyserf  I know she's not blameless on any of this, but things really did get a little over the top.
    1
  129. The quest for diminishing returns is a long one. We'll still keep watching, despite the gradual tweaking of social justice over quality.
    1
  130. I did enjoy Sean Penn telling us not to celebrate our Falkland’s victory cos it upsets Argentinians. Clearly a subject of which he has great knowledge, and close to his heart.

  131.  @IncredibleMet  I guess it's a natural contraceptive.

  132.    you have extended my metaphor.

  133.  @fulldisclosureiamamonster2786  not sure as you'd be able to verify consent, though.
    1
  134. I think using Barber's Adagio for Strings was a bit much. That should be reserved for slow-motion Vietnam war deaths, only.
    1
  135. However bad Discovery gets... It's never gonna be the miserable, edgy, and poorly-written shitefest that is "Star Trek" Picard.
    1
  136. I also have bloated nostalgia teats.
    1
  137. I quite liked it.
    1
  138. California and Texas. Was there ever a more well-suited pair? I sometimes forget they're two different states. 😂
    1
  139. So many TV shows I was told to watch but then went down the sh*tter... Westworld, GoT etc... This is saving me a lot of catching up. 👍🏻
    1
  140. Where are the capes? Where is the out-of-place humour? Where are the PS3-era graphics? I bet there isn't even a casual smattering of strategically-placed alphabet people. It hardly sounds worth watching 😅
    1
  141. This look so bad, I can't even be arsed to watch the Drinker's teardown.
    1
  142. Genesys was complete dog shyt
    1
  143. At this stage, I'd be disappointed if this was classic viewing. The "hate" is way more entertaining than any content could possibly be.
    1
  144. I don't believe Chris Rock realised Smith's wife suffered from alopecia. He probably does, now. 😁

  145. "Deserve's got nothing to do with it".
    1
  146. Surely, we've had enough of capes and CGI, now?
    1
  147. Modern movies suck because there's not enough CGI, and too much character development. We should all be thinking "nice graphics" rather than being invested in a plot. Now, where's my sarcastic emoji?
    1
  148. I thought Dougie Howser's SS uniform was a bit "on the nose".
    1
  149. If you watch the Charlize Theron movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" carefully, you'll see a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo from Tom Hardy. 😉
    1
  150. What on Galifrey would anyone do with an 18" rubber dildo? 😳
    1
  151. If only Marvel quit whilst they were winning. "Endgame" would make any multi-billion conglomerate proud.
    1
  152.  @spacedinosaur8733  it practically writes itself.

  153. If you're one person, you can't be diverse.
    1
  154. I love everything Ezra Miller has been in... Apart from other people's kids.
    1
  155. I notice you have beef with Rian Johnson... Name me one thing he's done that's bad!!!! 🤣
    1
  156. I couldn't watch this movie. It's just too dark for me. I'm sure it's excellent, but I am sometimes involved with children at risk, so it's just too close to home.
    1
  157.  @tadpolegaming4510  yeah, it's a right-of-passage. A hairy passage.
    1
  158. I'm new to this guy's channel. Is he genuinely shit-faced? I wish I was that articulate when inebriated.
    1
  159. I really wanted this to be a good movie. 😢
    1
  160. She was completely worthy and unengaging... The bran muffin of Star Wars.
    1
  161. Fun fact... "Not Hobbits" are actually called "Nobbits".
    1
  162. A gang of boys, headed by a leader who refuses to grow up. There's nothing suspicious about that. Oh well, perhaps Disney's tinkering might actually make things better for once.
    1
  163. Next task... The Drinker fixes Chernobyl. Not entertaining, but at least easier.
    1
  164. Is it weird for the sake of weird,like lost?

  165.  @chasehedges6775  He must be Caaa-hay-gen!

  166.  @lacolem1  rubber boobs, too. That wouldn’t be the same crapped out of a laptop.

  167.  @chatteyj  rubber is also easy-to-clean.

  168. Blimey, this guy fucking hates into darkness. At least Benedict CabbageWank is in it.

  170. Are we allowed to watch Zulu, now? 😳

  171. Great film. Poor ending.

  172. There's only one thing I can say about this... I don't fancy yours, much 😉
    1
  173. Pierce Brosnan was just treading water in Bond until he found he true calling… ‘Man who can’t sing’ in Mama Mia.

  174. Which one is Boba Hutt and which one is Jabba the Fett? I’m not much good with the Star Wars.

  175.  @thedeadd.c.207  OK, you've got me there.
    1
  176.  @Macleod1545  you are right. Is it deep fried?
    1
  177.  @RJIS  If its as bad as Picard, you'd all be put in care.
    1
  178.  @digitaldruglord1815  Agreed. We have been debating it. 👍
    1
  179.  @calicotraynor2439  only Cpt. Kirk could deliver that line. 👍
    1
  180. Watched episode 2. I'd say don't use Tim Roth if he's working with second tier actors. His talent did not help their poor performances.
    1
  181. Is there a Trans Batgirl called "Gordon Barbera"?😊
    1
  182. Will I be seeing Oppenheimer? I have kids, so probably just Barbie. Twice.
    1
  183. I can't wait for a CGI remake of Song of the South. My, oh my what a wonderful day that will be.
    1
  184. If streaming has taught us anything, it's that there's a desperate shortage of talented screen writers.
    1
  185. I was surprised 2010 didn't perform better than it did. I guess it couldn't have lived up to expectations. (Helen Mirren has NEVER been hotter, and that's saying something) 👍
    1
  186. I've never seen such a smug, sneering and bored-looking protagonist.
    1
  187. So, lots to look forward to, then 😅
    1
  188. This is a shit "Moon", isn't it? Or "Shoon".
    1
  189. The internet makes dwells on certain scene... The rubber snake, the monkeys, etc... The film itself was a fairly solid, knockabout romp, which missed the mark on occasion, but you got your money's worth.
    1
  190. Davros was a force to be reckoned with. RTD played himself. Patronising idiot.
    1
  191. I feel The Flash is a DC greatest hits, but played by a covers band.
    1
  192. This film was as good as we could have hoped for. Great action and characters, with no hectoring feminism.
    1
  193. This is a fish-eating John Wick, yes?
    1
  194. I’ll wait for Q*Bert: The Movie.
    1
  195. Yes, it got small details like the plot, the characters, and the script right, but what about the bigger picture? Telling people that they should be ashamed of being white, or male, or straight? Seems like a missed opportunity, and for what? Just to entertain? It's missing the point 😅
