thats the funist unfuny coment ever

Someone kill him with the Roundest Table in the Kingdom. Please.

about as plausible as a crippled woman in world war two (glares at battlefield)

@@thedude3065 actually things like that were real and often times they would be spies.

Quite an interesting piece of information! Thanks! 😊

Aren't you confusing ancient Breton history with Feudal Japan's history, or did they both pretty much do the same thing.

Never gets old. I still watch the Nostalgia Critic. Screw the people who hate him now.

@@somerandofromoregon even if they say he sucks now of days but f-k you all,he reviews good movies that he talks about in the past.

That's the best part! 😂😂😂

"Does everybody have to sing in this movie?" XD

@@somerandofromoregon Me too. Fuck the haters.

Chris C. It won a Golden Globe.

Chris C. Great animated movies came out in the year of 1998: Quest For Camelot: Best animated movie to love. The Prince Of Egypt: a underrated masterpiece of animation. Mulan: also a great movie to watch.

Richard Zenteno Prince of Egipt is by no means underrated. It's a masterpiece and everyone who was alive in that year knew it

At least it's still on Netflix.

indeed, my mom and I liked it

Mandi Lu ... OMG.............

That’s not how the Force works! 😂

And you just ruined star wars. Asshole

No need to bring in a Star Wars reference here

woody72691 Nah, Rian Johnson already took care of that

Sorry, I’m going for two!

The funny thing is it's not even THAT BAD. The problem is more the delivery. It would be a typical kids movie line if a comic relief character said it. One that had been firing off one liners all movie. But this one basically just kinda turns good at the end and changes characer. It feels so off for so many reasons. Sure it's not in any way a good line but it's just a normal lame pun that was given some of the worst delivery I've ever seen.

The ogre’s butt!

*It looked like a good, strong script. Didn't it?*

''The ogre's BUTT.''

I thought Garrett got kicked in the face by a horse, which caused his blindness.

@@ExplorerDS6789 it did. As far as why his eyes weren't healed, I'd like to think it was because he had accepted his blindness, and he didn't feel like it was a handicap.

But what about the dragons? They were able to separate and they didn’t have any of the magic.

@@hoobadooba2000 for them, I think it was their strong desire to be separated, bit then of course they decided to stay together since they had learned to work as a team. Desire may also explain Garret's situation; there was a time when he felt his blindness was something that would cause Kayley to not truly love him, but them he realized that wasn't the case and was okay with staying blind.

Victor I mean I guess but I’m pretty sure that if he had the option, he would rather have his sight back

That's exactly what I was thinking.

ikr. I started LMFAO when I saw it.

I know right

Yeah , it talks about a better place away from the horrible violence

I was just going to say that!! 😂😂😂😂 it really does!

Shh!

Eeeeeerogenous zone!!!

Gamer Goku unless theres Dragons. I love Dragons. Drahons and gryphons.

OoeyGooeyGoodra what about drakes?

" A duck!"

That's seriously awesome that you and your dad have that experience together with this video. :)

@@loneronin6813 it’s hilarious. We have a lot of sayings / quotes we say, and “movie, EXPLAIN!” Became one of them. We watch alot of bad movies lol

@@jamesurbanic1975 I'm glad that the two of you have that activity together. I have a strong relationship with my father as well so I can appreciate it when that's the case for others as well.

@@loneronin6813 good to hear. Thanks for the conversation. God bless you

@@jamesurbanic1975 Thank you to you as well and I wish you all the best in all aspects of your life. :D

They wished for something so much the magic that exuded from the re-sealing of Excalibur split them. But then put them back together when they realized they were happier together as one unit.

@@BrokensoulRider I hate how they look, those legs bother me.

@@marianokaz1503 You get used to it.

Meant as a joke?

Not only that, but I'm also getting nostalgia from the movie itself.

no, no not ironic at all

nostalgiaception

Such nostalgia

Sadly, not a daily 4 PM release like it used to before 2016 began. For now, I'm just waiting for the Classics to surprise us.

omg why

+scary hat That, my friend, was a masturbation joke because I'm super classy like that.

You Clever Man

worst part is I'm left handed

But then everything changed when the fire nation attacked

Who is Bobby and Annette from

Was he even aware of avatar. Didn't he watch the avatar serious years later

This is in Captain Planet.

@@omarbautista541 maybe idk

There was a romance?

Not to mention them being knighted followed by them riding off in a horse with the sign Just Knighted on the back makes like it was more their wedding. Which when I saw it in theaters was sweet and confusing. It still is but the confusion overshadows the sweet

@@gianinabadami5341 Well they WERE having a wedding though

@@somerandofromoregon I thought so. It was still interesting the sign said Just Knighted so my guess that all couples back then being knighted and being married is the same thing

Look up the plot of the book it’s based on ooooooh 😢😭

The dragons looked disappointed when they were back to being two-headed, tho; hence the part of the movie I posted I got confused over

It's simple. The magic could only heal what was damaged by magic or magic adjacent. His blindness wasfrom a fire a while ago hence his ability to navigate so flawlessly without sight.

@@TheBlackAntagonist but dragons aren't treated as magical in the movie, and the twins weren't damaged by magic but rather....incest.

@@genera1013 Magical incest? XD

He wouldn't considering he could see before he went blind and already knew what things looked like before he lost his sight.

+Slave W (Gaming) "some guy's film"

+Slave W (Gaming) "a hot chick"

But that music is somber or perhaps reflective, not light hearted.

Yes but deadpool has an entire comedic undertone, while this movie is supposed to be taken seriously. It works well in deadpool because of his character and his mindset.

+Siam Ahmed what about Asura's Wrath? If you don't know what that is, it's a video game, and most of it's ost is pretty somber.

At 0:50 he says "medieval blast from the ass" which I've always wondered was a reference to that scene.

I love the delivery of that line

Spppppiiiii duhhrrrs

The SPYIDER

@@gavindakealeon9041 Arachnus Deathicus?

oh my god

Alpha Bulblax oh god no

ew...

dear god why...

Ruber is Love, Ruber is Life...

Also, in the movie THERE WAS EXPLAINED how he got that potion, Ruber asked witch to make one potion and she did

Wile E. Coyote is gonna be PISSED that they kept giving him giant sling-shots and rocketskates when they could've hooked him up with actual flipping MAGIC.

Its funny all these years I never noticed the word "acme" on the potion bottle lol

Maybe Ruber bought that potion off Witch Hazel and she’s a suplier for ACME corp.

Marvin also uses weapons made by the company, + he's my favorite looney tune!

Actually one of my favorite parts of the film her singing the prayer

I think his name was Dr. Monty or something.

Dr. Smith

shekemov Very nice Spider Jerusalem Avatar sir. 😆

What was the original review he is from?

Janelle Adams His Lost in Space review, I think

Having said that, "It's magic, a wizard done it" probably suffices as an explanation for pretty much everything in this film.

Yeah, that pretty much explains everything, dude. Oh well!!! Back to the drawing board.

I loved this film as a kid. I don't know why, I think because we didn't have it on VHS so I only saw it a few times when I took it out from the library.

I loved this film as a kid too and have it on VHS don't know where it is now though. Which is why I was hesitant to watch this because Nostalgia Critic would rip on it and not only would I watch my childhood die I would realize how bad it was and how much my childhood sucks. This is not the first movie I watched as a kid that years later he would review either. Although I am glad I did decided to watch this one cause I am getting hooked after that squeezing the horse to get a song joke.

Everyone goes though that phase.

I can kind of see it

uh, how

It strangely does, actually. Never watched Sin City, but the song and the events playing in that scene can go hand in hand, in a bittersweet or morbid sense.

F

Oh and Pierce Brosnan too

Or the fact this dumpster fire inadvertently launched Josh Groban’s entire career.

F

F

So true!!

Too bad he only used it once again. I'd like to see it back more often. lol

Wasn't it also the birth of "Nuking the Fridge"?

Even the teacher thought that this song made no sence

Platy the Perrypus Oh there you are Perry!

Ok that's not a sentence that's a noun. That's not even a good noun

Same. I can see why he'd hate it, but I still like this movie. And the songs. I always thought that Rubert's song was supposed to be deliberately bad, to mock the "villain gets the best song" trope.

Same

Same but at the same time, this is one of those movies that I enjoyed as a kid but looking back, yeah no it was horrible....

Honestly the biggest problem with his villain song is that it's too short. It doesn't go long enough to me a memorable song in any real way

Simpler times

It was an okay movie. It definitely was not a bad movie. That’s for sure

From where you are?

Angel, The Dark Overlord not long anyway

TouhouFather Garrett had training and years of experience.

FlynnRider4 but still it doesn't change the fact that she didn't necessarily grow as a charaxter

REVIEWCEPTION That is not the argument regarding this point.

he explained it in his top 11 DUMBASSES in distress

Juanes Martinos 😂😂😂😂

Also, throughout his scenes you could see a hen that I assumed was either his mother or his girlfriend, and they looked at each other with a twinge of sadness constantly up until he turned on Ruber, where they were seemingly chatting. I haven't seen the film in like 17 years at least, but I did notice and remember them

There are a lot of things this film doesn't explain, but it's annoying when they actually DO explain something and it's his most OTT reaction. Although granted not well explained.

Okay, problems with this: 1. How can he see that the leaves heal when he CAN'T see? 2. If the leaves heal, why didn't he just use them to cure his blindness?

ReasyRandom 1. Maybe the leaves not only look different but also smell or feel different than others 2. Maybe there aren't any plants that can hear blindness or maybe they smell/feel almost the exact same as a very poisonous plant and he doesnt want to risk it.

Then how do you explain the clothes healing? 😉

Marcus Alm Two Words: CLOTHES BEAM!!

Camelot ties into about Avalon and Merlin. Magic, magical creatures ect, are all very real in that story. Absolutely agree a lot of things went over his head. The chicken, for example, is seen in the background seeing how awful his chicken wife has been treated, "promising" her to make it better. It was not out of nowhere, and yeah there might not have been any dialogue, but it was right there.

woe is me and all others under the oger's butt-ss-s

Yeah, ogre's butt isn't plural.

+Bryant Langmuir "duly noted.

Get to work, puppet.

Mulan came out 1998 and this film came out in 94.

Damn . At least The Iron Giant is remembered more than this .

Joshua Gonzalez I 10000% Agree

Even today, people are still calling The Iron Giant underrated, but I don’t think that’s the case now. It’s very popular today

What did she think about working on this movie? Any experiences?

U are so so so so lucky I wish I could meet who ur meeting

This movie is one of my untimate favorite movies ever

Did you graduate yet? Any projects that you took lately?

@@Wubsy96 Well I graduated from my degree last year, but I am currently doing a part time Masters degree, also in animation. Plus I am working as a designer and animator on a Welsh web series called The Vale and I have a part time job as a children’s book illustrator.

Me, after hearing her say that: BOIOIOIOIOIOIOING

It'll be better if she says "rescuing boys in distress" since she's married to Garrett

@@pinkiepiecupcake7779 True but you should keep in mind that she didn't know what a damsel in distress was. I know this is probably a joke but I thought that I should probably point this out.

@@yogalover2753 True. My bad for my mis communication then

@@pinkiepiecupcake7779 It's ok.

yeah... I should most definitely not go to camelot

@@marakarthegreat well Camelot is Linkara's favourite film

The adventures of Merlin is pretty good

After watching more of the review, I will add that the version I watched was the french dub who sound a lot better.

i have a feeling that most dubbed movies (especially the bad ones) sound way better than the original

Yep, same here. Just replace French dub with Bulgarian dub.

It may be. Italian version is pretty cool.

But what do you really think about this movie, now that you're no longer a little kid anymore?!

Pretty much every time he yells this it's about a Celtic or Arthurian reference, and it makes me feel like I'm in on a joke that he's not lol

This has no business being as funny as it is

It's magic. We don't have to explain it.

*Warner Bros: Not gonna happen.*

Jesse Watson 90's Magic my friend It Can get away with anything For Example Back in the original cartoon of He-Man he could magic Put a broken Chain Back Together

@come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge! Yeah, my line still would've worked than what Ruber said

here here

Tbh, that scares me!

I do

YES. BRING BACK THE MEMES.

This movie came out a year before Mulan.

+EVOLUTIONARY LAKEMAN. Actually, it came out the same year Mulan came out - 1998.

It did come out before it albeit 1 month before it.

He still has the same character model.

Because she was a useless character from the get go and couldn't save herself from a paper bag without help?

That wasn't her fault, they decided to write her that way.

Yeah, I've never had a problem with the Damsel in Distress trope as I believe that using a loved one of any gender as motivation is just an old harmless trope that makes for easy heroic motivation. However, I do have a problem when the trope takes an otherwise capable female character - or someone who is being built-up to be a capable female character - and nerfs them or ruins their potential just to put them into a "damsel in distress" situation. Kayley spends the entire movie driving home her point about becoming a knight in spite of her gender - and then winds up needing to be rescued by blind guy.

+Biff the BearKiller ikr how is a blind guy literally more capable of defending himself then her?

Definitely, I've always rejected this notion of "damsels in distress" always being sexist objects that need saving and therefore anyone that uses the trope is a misogynist asshole, one not every character (female included) needs to be a bow/gun toting warrior, aside from that everyone needs help sometimes, even amazing warriors, however it does become a problem when a badass female character suddenly loses all of her badassery for the sake of a plot point

FrogiMen13 I have to say that is one of the worst film lines referencing to a popular film ever.

This was Sinbad levels of bad.

What's worse is they couldn't even get the reference right! No one on the writing team for that movie knew what a fucking pronoun was!

"helloooo, double chili CAT burger with onions and pickles"

I know it sounded so fitting for

It fits....strangely.

Polygon Man Kind of like the opening fight scene in Watchmen with the Comedian and Ozymandias.

It's ironically fitting.... I think.

Yes

The chicken' betrayal is also explained by that 2-sec animation with the hen. He overreacted on many levels

Love the Celestia pic!

*****​ so does your profile picture

Why, thank you very much!

I need the ogres butt.

Yes

I second that

Suprisingly yes

It surprisingly fits

Yeah, same, I was like: “it’d be pretty awesome actually”

It's a way of underscoring the humble origins of the hero or heroine too.

Tsu Lee when the movie decided not to explain

I agree

I felt the song worked perfectly for that scene as well.

Joseph Johnson The words made sense. The music doesn't. In fact, if it was just the mother praying over the chase, it probably would have been better.

Nick K Much, much better.

Here's the thing - if they'd FOCUSED on the mother it would have been fine; but they DIDN'T. She was there for - what? A minute? At best? Then they had all this action shit and screaming running away shit stolen RIGHT THE FUCK OUT OF SNOW WHITE... god... this movie...

I think the song would have worked well enough if they used more frightening bad guys chasing her and cut out all the noise, leaving us with a more dramatic moment

I love how Monty Python and the Holy Grail took the story a bit more seriously. An extra reason to love it

His voice was AWESOME

He had a monocle!!!!!

Yeah he/she was pretty badass. I also liked the idea of a spell that combines living things with weapons, that could lead to some Cronenberg-like body horror if used effectively.

Precisely.

@@rogue7723 It's a he because he's voiced by Bronson Pinchot.

Yup Garret was the best thing about this movie

Agreed

Sam Dotson yay a fellow Quest for Camelot lover. very few in numbers.

Ah I feel the same! He brings up valid points why it's not that great of a movie but I always liked it lol

Unihuahua i guess i just always looked deeper into it and applied my own head-cannons to it. so for me everything makes sense cuz MAGIC. lol

woooudo I know right! :D I'm so happy so many people like this movie like i do.

same

Quest for Camelot isn't nearly as bad as he tries to persuade you it is. First of all, most of his "EXPLAAAAIN" hysteria is answered in the movie. Most of the movie takes action in a "magic forest" as they clearly call it. Yes, that's more than enough for an explanation "why the fuck those leaves are flying? Why are those trees moving?!". I don't remember him shouting "EXPLAIN THE FLYING CARS!" in the Star Wars review. How the hell is "future" more self-explanatory than "magic"? I mean, really, he pretty much missed a line while making stupid jokes about the villain and built the whole episode around his own mistake. Second, yes, the magic forest wasn't in the original Camelot lore - as well as the whole story of Excalibur being stolen by a griffin, lost, found by a wannabe-knight girl and a blind hermit and all that stuff. The story has to take place somewhere. It could be a story of any magical sword and any kingdom, but choosing the Camelot setting actually saves so much screen time from explanations about what kingdom this all takes place in and why the fuck the sword is so important. The movie isn't hi-jacking the Camelot name for advertisement sake, it actually uses it to explain important story stuff without wasting screen time on it. Third, the "acme" label is a self-ironical joke about how they couldn't slip a set of scenes and characters into the movie for an explanation where this magical potion came from. You can assume he picked it up from a wizard, or a witch, or whatever - it has nothing to add in to the story - why would you need another useless character eat the screen time just to pass a bottle to the main villain and never appear again? All the shitty devices Willy E Coyote is using have an ACME label - do you really give a fuck where they come from? Would that add up to the story? This isn't criticism what NC did with this poor cartoon, it's fault-finding. Should we call him Nostalgia Fault-Finder? The axe cock(I had to say it) didn't "turn good", he never really was a bad guy to start with. He is supposed to be a lovable cute little socially weird guy, who simply tries to help the first person who asks him to do something, even if that's bad(as he is too silly to realize it). You know, like Butters from South Park. He might do stupid things, but in the end even he finds out who are the baddies and does the right thing. The song during the chase is a debatable aspect. IMO it actually gives the whole thing a unique feel. Instead of a boring "chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga-doon-doon-doon-doon" chase melody you expect to hear, you actually hear a slow passionate song. What I'm trying to say is, when you put a fast-paced song into a slow-paced scene it becomes comical, but what happens when you put a slow-paced song into a fast-paced scene? It becomes a highly debatable conceptual aspect. Reminds me of Celene Dion's "My heart will go on" music video - it has several scenes from the ship-crashing part even though it's a slow-paced song. Guess the "Quest for Camelot" makers were trying to give this chase scene the same feel as the above mentioned music video. The twin-dragon goes all Genie for his song because that's a way to show how he is all living in his dream world. The girl's song showed us she wants more from this life than being a farmer, the blind hermit's song showed us how he is all one with the fucked up magical nature, and the twin-dragon is simply a dreamer. I agree there could be better ways to show it without bringing up weird anachronistic shit, but taking it as painfully as the Critic did is just wrong. The movie has its' flaws and many of them are addressed in the video, but talking about them isn't nearly as amusing as shouting at flying leaves, is it?

True but even as a five year old I realized some of the flaws this movie had

+RaptorAnton you can't deny the stupidity of the movie tho lie srly dude it's kinda weird and just saying a magical forest doesn't mean anything

David dz According to your logic, saying "future" means nothing either. Now go on, explain the flying cars in Star Wars. EXPLAAAAAIN!

Richard Dale Nickell That Fuckup was addressed a long time ago.

well, for one, the sketch had an important mission, even if it was too much: The movie asks you to take for granted many things, too much (the last twist, for example, doesn't make the least bit of sense. If Excalibur destroyed its wielder if they were of less-than-pure heart, you'd think a round table knight would be knowledgeable of that...) And another thing: He is perfectly conscious that a movie can not be 100% transparent on his universe and still be good, as represented by the last sketch, with Mary Poppins: A movie that never, ever explains anything, but he really likes it.

The people who made it are

*You should be*

+Faxerton30 You called?

you're entitled to your opinion

I love it too, and I'm not ashamed.

*Gunshot sound intensifies*

I think the first was a warning shot second he missed lmao

Are you ok now?

Wa wa waaaa

So that's where Bobsheaux got that from.

I ship Kayley with a girl. ; )

Over the course of the movie, the dragons learned the lesson that being together has its advantages over being on their own (what they're hoping for in the beginning). When Excalibur works it's magic, it lasts long enough to grant them their initial wish but then also to change their minds and put themselves together again.

This movie never explains anything, why the hell should it start now?!

+Senjuina Müller wow that was overly complicated

Explained simply; during the scenes of the transformations; they split. They then jumped towards each other and merged again, because they like being together. *shrug*

It's explained pretty quickly in the movie actually.

the only reason it was was a mess because that the movie was about to be a pg - 13 movie but then warner bros made it a disneyfy film.

Thomas Nethery He knows. He manages to make a joke about Acme supporting black arts.

Ya think!?

yeah i mean how would u like it if in the 2k7 TMNT movie they played that song when the turtles start fighting the stone generals?

I was just thinking the same thing. I was like, "HE'S DEAD ALREADY JESUS CHRIST STOP PUNCHING HIS FACE DEEPER INTO THE CONCRETE"

that song actually works during that scene in a weird way

+Meta Melcan I was thinking the same thing. In some really strange and fucked up way, it works

That whole scene is just f'ed up, actually.

Steven Dolce and Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story :(

And unlike many adaptations of Robin Hood AKA Robin of Loxley he actually speaks with a English accent.

Psion what is the name of the sword in the stone

KumaoftheForest It depends on the account. In some later accounts, the Sword in the Stone is called Excaliber. But after killing one of his knights with it, Arthur discarded it and sought out the legendary blade that he would name Excaliber after his old sword. But the elements this movie uses point to Arthur being well past the point in his story where he got the sword from the Lady of the Lake. So even if they were going off that account, there are glaring problems. Older accounts don't directly give the Sword in the Stone any particular name than Sword in the Stone.

LOL
