Lame and beyond boring
His reviews are much better, should have just stuck to those

True.
It basically felt like a waste of time, especially in comparison to what we COULD be watching instead.
How many AVGN game review episodes could we have now, if the movie hadn't been made, and if Rolfe had instead continued making them?
I think we could possibly have as many as forty episodes, but even twelve episodes would be a goldmine compared to the movie.
So much effort and so much time, money, and patience, frustration and whatnot was spent to create .. THIS.
If even HALF of all that would have gone to creating more AVGN episodes.. man. I don't even want to think about what we could have instead of this movie, because it's too sad.

He just wanted to make a feature length film
What a crime
He didn't fool anyone. He asked his fans directly for money to make a movie. I knew what he was making when he asked for funding. I gave him the money because he has given me a lot for free. Even if the movie sucked, you cannot say that he swindled us.
share"This did not feel like a long review of a game, it felt like a long skit with a review at the end. You know how he fills a lot of his episodes with wacky cgi and characters,"
Exactly.
This movie is like a stretched version of "Rob the Robot" episode, with a lot of other crap thrown in. Without the game reviews (except E.T. - oh, sorry, "EeTee" (groan), while the CREDITS ROLL ALREADY!).
Are there any individuals, who actually think those theatrick gimmicks are the best parts of his reviews?
Or did the gaming community pay for the movie, because they actually expected it to be about _G_A_M_E_S_ ?
It's like Rolfe forgot about games, and cranked all kinds of other stuff in as much as he could. It's not about whether you use rendered graphics or plastic models, it's not about whether you include giant monsters or Fuji-san, it's not about whether you use greenscreen or not.
The important thing is GAMES (and game systems)! That's why people started watching AVGN.
Without games (and game systems), no one would have watched AVGN episodes.
His horror interest I have never understood (isn't life horrible enough without artificial, human-added horror?), but I never minded it, as long as there were good videos about GAMES. They didn't even have to be AVGN-specific - anything that Rolfe wanted to make that was about video games, computer games, console games, or old game systems, I would be willing to watch.
But this movie was not about any of those things. THAT, in my opinion, was its downfall. He should have made a video-game-based movie, and THEN, when that movie is a success, he could have used the profits to make his horror-zombie-B-movie. Instead, he tried to cram everything into this one movie, except..
... games.
His name was James, but he forgot the games.
This poem was actually less lame and more poignant than the movie.
