You got me, 2 people quickly voting very high so others will also waste their time.
you got me i watched half of it >_<
but because i am not so mean i will vote the 1 it deserves hoping the score will lower and not trick others into watching this crap.
Hmmmm. what is it about? looks like a Kick-ass parody? or something. There's no reviews on this?
shareIt's about the nostalgia critic and the rest of tgwtg crew taking over the micronation of Molassia, and renaming it kickassia. It's one of the worst written films ever made, and the acting isn't much better. Only Cinema Snob and the president of Molassia escapes this horrible movie with some sort of credibility. Unless you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY love tgwtg, give this one a pass.
"No, I wanted orange! It gave me lemon-lime"
Now see....I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY love tgwtg...and the rest of the gang...which is why I did watch this non-film...you see this is not a serious attempt to make a major motion picture...what it is instead [as someone has already stated] is nothing more than a love-letter to the fans who support the Critic and everyone else at Channel Awesome...and for trolls and other haters alike to judge the movie on the fact that they were expecting some BIG, GRANDIOSE Experience unlike anything they have ever witnessed before is really kinda ridiculous on their part...so please...lighten up will ya!

Yeah people here are taking this movie way too seriously! I mean they talk about it as if this was an actual serious movie when it's been stated that the errors and the continuity problems were done on purpose as a joke. It's obvious that this movie does not take itself too seriously. It's all played for laughs.
shareSo they purposely made a terrible film? Yes, that makes perfect sense. Maybe you did like it, but outside of the die hard tgwtg fans it seems to nearly be universally loathed. Even people in it say it's bad, such as lordkat.
Just because a movie doesn't take itself seriously doesn't mean it's watchable.
"No, I wanted orange! It gave me lemon-lime"
Yes, why would die-hard fans enjoy a special made specifically for them? That's just hard to comprehend. As for being universally loathed, sure, some fans didn't like it, but people who don't follow tgwtg to begin with have no reason to like it. It's not for them
That's why it's a special and not a film. People who point out that they're "using the term film loosely" aren't showing off their intelligence, they're stating the obvious.
You didn't like it, that's fine. But to treat it like it should be critiqued as a film is just plain silly.
Sure it's on imdb, but so is the Step Up BET Music Special of 2006. People have even less to say about that.
As to the OP about being tricked into watching it... I suggest actually looking up what you're watching. Even if it does have a high rating, it doesn't mean you'll like it. Not everything can be everyone's cup of tea.

Ah come on! I'm following Doug's work since his time on YouTube, and I joined TGWTG since their first week online. He and a few others definitely have talent, but unfortunately it was nowhere to be seen in this 'special'. I know that everyone else has already said it, but it is still true - only Brad's performance was really enjoyable. And even that was only so obvious because of the poor acting on everyone else' part. Doug, Lindsay and Noah were mediocre at best (knowing what they are capable of), and I don't even want to discuss the rest.
From the posts above - "...the errors and the continuity problems were done on purpose as a joke..." - are you serious? Also, just because this is "nothing more than a love-letter to the fans" is it supposed to be mediocre at best? Come on.
Let me give you an example - Doug's 2010 Christmas special, A Nostalgia Critic Christmas! :
- the idea behind it has been recycled a million times
- it once again had at least a dozen of crossovers for the sake of the crossover
- the production values were muuch lower than those for Kickassia (budget of $50k, I hear? Awesome, now try again.)
But at the same time:
+ they were actually acting, most of the time anyway
+ the characters were not annoying (well, with an exception or two, but it didn't last long anyway)
+ it actually had a several clever twists
Overall, it was very enjoyable. So why would you praise a bad "episode" of the show if they can actually make great ones, as long as they think it through? Just because it's a bigger crossover and it was supposed to be "epic"?
I am rating this one 5/10 - for the effort all of them put into it. I know how tight their schedule was, how hard it is to include everyone they wanted into the final script, the climate, the injuries on the set, etc., so I really appreciate the effort. But if we start giving out 9s and 10s just for the effort how will you rate them when they actually make a great short or even a movie? With 15?
TL;DR - Don't praise a bad product just because the team behind it has the potential to make a great one.
This is a must-see of a true fan, if only for continuity's sake, but casual fans should watch it at their own discretion. And if you don't know who the heck the people in the credits are simply stay away from this.
The Budget of Kickassia was $50K...GTFO! Seriously? More like $50...I mean where the hell did the $50K go? What could have cost them that kind of cash? Flying everyone out, putting them up in a decent hotel, and feeding them all while they were there I am sure cost the company a pretty penny...but $50K...really? It was shot on a consumer quality camera and what effects there were were your basic, run-of-the-mill Video Co-Pilot and After Effects stuff.
And as far as the quality of the movie was concerned...yeah...they're all very talented and given enough time I am sure they could have done something really epic...but having listened to the commentary by Linkara, Snob, Phelous, and Benzaie...I understand they were on a very tight shooting schedule [I think I remember them saying they shot it in like four days or something] and yes there were other problems plaguing the production as well...As far as the acting was concerned...it wasn't their best...in fact it seemed very over-the-top to me...but I think it was supposed to be that way.
Now for the most part I found this little love letter thoroughly enjoyable...However...I can understand how the average viewer who has never seen anything else by them might not enjoy it...in fact they may come right out and say that it sucked...but that is because they don't get it...For me though...I hope there is much more where this came from!
And yeah...the Christmas special was pretty awesome too!

Not as much as Kickassia sucks.
share[deleted]
It's not funny, it goes on for way too long, and it fails to entertain.
Therefore, it sucks.

No, I'll just copy and paste what Encyclopedia Dramatica thinks of Kickassia:
Kickassia is the TGWTG's site attempt at celebrating its two year (jesus *beep* christ, two years?) anniversary. It is exemplary of all the fail the website has to offer. So what is it? Strangely enough, it has nothing to do with reviewing *beep* no one cares about. It is instead a 6 part video event that miserably attempts to be funny by doing a GIANT COLLABORATION VIDEO WITH. EVERY. SINGLE. *beep* WHO HAS EVER APPEARED ON THE SITE. (except Dr. Ashens, as *beep* were not invited). The entire thing is written by, directed by, and starring the god himself, Doug Walker. Ironically, when Doug later reviewed The Room, he remarked on how the same guy was writer, director, and star, saying, "Warning, people!")
Every single episode of Kickassia is a plodding, unfunny car crash of an internet "movie", based around a miserable grind of poorly written and poorly timed jokes. It succeeds only by showing everything that is wrong with Channel Awesome and how much of a talentless hack everyone is. No one in the entire video ever attempts to act but instead show what sad miserable *beep* they're all truly are. A small example of this *beep* would be the Nostalgia Chick pretending to be Sarah Palin, forgetting she is about 2 years behind on the joke. Every other gag and, uh, plot element consists of inside jokes and references that have already been used dozens of times in regular reviews.
Clearly this was an epic that could only be told in six instalments (to make them moar monies on Blip).
One thing you can be sure of, though; just as night follows day, this "special event" is followed by unbearable commentary and crossover videos. At this point, TGWTG is like some kind of hideous, buck-toothed hydra that spawns ten new, awful videos each time a new awful video is uploaded.
Take DOUG & CREW PLAY DANCE MANIAX JPARADISE!!, for example, which is described as
“
Doug, Phelous, Benzaie and Spoony make complete fools of themselves playing one of the most fun dance games ive ever allowed myself to play! *Warning* Hilarious White Guy Movements!
„
— Spoony.
As far as "White Guy Movements" are concerned, this one's a little less funny than the Ku Klux Klan. Besides, Benzaie's not white, he's French.
But, considering all the *beep* movies these talentless *beep* "review" on the site, it would be highly ironic if one of them actually covered Kickassia. But don't hold your breath though, these *beep* would rather slit their own throats than get their graven idol, Doug Walker butthurt.
The great folks at Busy Street have provided a nice review detailing this internet disaster.
Its IMDB score: 5.4/10
[deleted]
Actually, the videos at Busy Street are infinitely more funny than most of the garbage Channel Awesome has made in the past two years. Their commentary made Kickassia watchable.
share"No, I'll just copy and paste what Encyclopedia Dramatica thinks of Kickassia:"
Ahahahaha... wow. Of all the things you could do to make your opinion and yourself completely discreditable and worthless, you copy and paste text from Encyclopedia Dramatica.
Yeah. Everyone thinks you're awesome now.

Yes, they do.
I guess that article had too much truth for you to handle.
So they purposely made a terrible film? Yes, that makes perfect sense.
i watched half of it
Holy moly, the voting system is screwed up for this movie.
___________
If you love Jesus Christ and are 100%
proud of it copy this and make your signature!
It's because fanboys of this movie are voting up constantly.
shareYeah, how dare someone give a positive vote to something they like?
Maybe I'll just sit here and bleed at you.
There's a difference between actually liking something and liking something just because you're a fan of the creator's previous works.
share"There's a difference between actually liking something and liking something just because you're a fan of the creator's previous works."
And I guess you've personally asked every person who voted positively for this film why they voted positively, therefore have the authority to say that there isn't a single person on planet Earth who "actually liked" this film.

Hey, thanks for revealing that you have a hard on for me. As a result of your hard on, you've also missed my point.
shareIf it's not your thing or if you're not of a fan of the site, then this wasn't intended for you.
That'd be like a grown man going to see a Veggietales movie and complaining that it wasn't serious enough.
It was a web special created for fans of TGWTG. You're NOT the intended audience, you weren't expected to like it.
Maybe I'll just sit here and bleed at you.
A bit like how a grown man (Doug Walker) complains about movies that he isn't the intended audience for.
shareThere's a bit of a difference between ripping apart nostalgic movies for comedic value (some of which he's admitted to liking) and whining about something you don't like on a internet forum.
Maybe I'll just sit here and bleed at you.
There is no difference. He hates most of the movies he bashes.
shareExcept he's said in commentaries that he really doesn't.
Maybe I'll just sit here and bleed at you.
Sounds contradictory to me.
Are you implying that he doesn't hate any of the kids movies he reviews?
Sometimes he does, usually he doesn't mind them. It's not contradictory, although if it is, it's intended that way. The Nostalgia Critic that exaggerates a lot of his own opinion. If he has a problem with something, the character bases an entire review ranting about it.
You should probably consult Roger Ebert if you want an actual review of a film. Most people watch NC for entertainment, not because they actually want his opinion on something.
Maybe I'll just sit here and bleed at you.
If it isn't a review then it aint fair use and should be taken down.

"I SERVE NONE BUT KORROK".
I don't think so.
Roger Ebert gave Home Alone 3 a positive review.
