Madisun's Arc - Reviews By Darth Marsden

[der_ketzer]

Your #...

...8: I have seen it, I own the DVD, I love it, I am not ashamed


...7: I saw it in the cinema after the "first episode" was my first movie in the series. I have it on DVD, I own the score and I love it. I would have agreed on Episode 3 though. I own it on DVD but never managed to sit through it outside the cinema. I saw the third one twice in the cinema though. Yes twice. And I enjoyed it on the big screen. I hate sand btw.


...6: I saw that one once in the cinema (yet again) and I liked it a lot. Well I was a bit younger than and I feel the German version of the movie removes a lot that went wrong with the movie. I saw it a second time with the rifftrax audio commentary a few years ago and I actually saw why it is so hated. The English version is horrible. (Batman & Robin that is)

The rest I haven't seen. Thank god!

You'd be surprised how often I hear that. Or would you? No, actually, you probably wouldn't.

Would you guys be interested in a follow-up video where I talk about the honourable mentions?

No. Because Matrix Reloaded is a great action-movie
You can bitch about PotC 4 all day though.

What I really want to see is you explaining to the world why Alies is a crappy sequel to Alien but may still be a good movie. Cameron's Vietnam epos has no place in the Alien series.

[Darth Marsden]

So you wouldn't be interested in hearing why I felt it worthy of being called a bad sequel but not being bad enough to be considered one of the worst ever made? Huh. OK then!

Not at all. I saw it in the cinema. Twice, in a row. And knowing the magnificent soundtrack before that made it even better.
What I really didn't like was them putting story bits into the flop videogame exclusively.

[Darth Marsden]

OK, so I don't know if you guys were aware of this (I can't really remember if I talked about here it or not), but I went through a massive depressive period during August, which completely ruined my birthday. Actually, in hindsight that's probably one of the things that contributed to it. I dunno. Whatever, I'm just rambling now.

Anyway, the point is that I was working on a video at the time, and since I was so miserable I kind of stopped working on it halfway through and haven't gotten back into editing since.

Well, as a way of working my way back into the gig, I've gone back and done something I've been meaning to do for quite some time now - fix up my Daikatana review a bit. It's nothing drastic, I've just trimmed a few live-action scenes that went on a second too long, added some on-screen text explaining things I didn't talk about and - and this is the big one - altered the intro cutscene section.

I won't mention HOW I've altered it - you'll probably be able to tell for the most part - but that section now flows much better. I've even managed to work in a My Little Pony reference for some utterly shameful reason. So yeah, there ya go.

This is the first time the review will be up on youTube, since I never got round to uploading the original version due to its length (I couldn't upload videos longer than 15 minutes when I first started doing this, and since Daikatana is just over half an hour...), and I'll be uploading this to my Blip account as well, so if you never caught if the first time round, well, here you go. It's mostly the same, just a wee bit better. Which makes it somewhat tolerable now, I guess.

Check it out here and give my life some sort of meaning and/or validation. Please?

I'll get back to my other videos next week, and should hopefully have the next one done by week's end. It's already been shot, I just have to put it together and stuff. And the one after that's been shot as well, so... yeah, if I can get my act together, expect a good couple of videos in the next few of weeks.

Gives +1 validation point.
*stops TGS Podcast to re-watch your review*

[Darth Marsden]

Aw, thanks. I feel better now.

EDIT: Blip version is up now, if anyone wants to watch it there.

[Darth Marsden]

If you guys are at all interested, I've finally gotten round to uploading my Top 8 Worst Movie Sequels to YouTube. You can watch it here, if YouTube's stopped pissing about with it.

(Thinks Doctor Who game )

[Darth Marsden]

As I have said before, I can't capture footage from my TV, so if I'm reviewing a game, it has to be a PC game or emulatable on the PC. So no, it's not The Eternity Clock.

The video's compiling now, so I'll upload it overnight and it should be watchable tomorrow morning.

[Darth Marsden]

And hey, I finally finished putting together a new video! It's a look at the honourable mentions from the Top 8 Worst Sequels, because I felt the need to explain stuff. Here it is!

[der_ketzer]

Good as a V-Log. Not really good as a part of the Arc series.

[Darth Marsden]

Yeah, that's why it's a ½ and not a full video.

A Christmas Story 2

Is it the 1st of April again?

[Darth Marsden]

No.

...

Oh, you want a reason why? Well, how about "I've never seen the first A Christmas Story"? Or how about "It's a straight-to-DVD sequel, what do you expect"? Or how about "I don't do requests"? Take your pick.

[hangingwithmonkeys]

I thought it was a appropriate place to post it. If you don't want to review it I'm not going to kidnap you and force you to review it at gun point guy...

Geeze. Straight to DVD makes it even worse.

[Icedhope]

There was already a sequel to a Christmas Story and it was written by Jean Shepard called
Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss.

[HelloCthulhu]

And how about the sequel noone ever heard of... My Summer Story. Yea...that is a thing.
