Suburban Knights

There's a far more prominent narrative structure to this follow-up that surpasses its predecessor in almost every way, ranging from absurdist comic gold to brief moments of bogged down exposition. The film is at its best when it explores and brutally parodies the classic tropes of the adventure fantasy genre, from frustrating plots to ridiculous costume, and in doing so it stands not only as a harsh critic of those stories but as a charming love letter to parody as a film genre.

Suburban Knights is the second movie Channel Awesome made, and it is a definite improvement on the first one. There is a bit more of a plot, and some of the characters have greater depth than they had in the first one. Most of the humor involved is very reliant on pop culture references, but I like that humor, so I enjoyed it.

I do think you need to at least have some familiarity with the internet personalities involved in order to really be invested in this, especially Nostalgia Critic, or I can see how it would be harder to get into it.

For all of that, there is a charm to this low-budget production. It's fun to watch, and I like the humor.

Well, I'm not even entirely sure what I expected, but this was not it. Considering the fact that all these reviewers pretty much had a huge 'elements of a bad movie' list in the back of their minds and they totally blew it (by cinema standards), I was a little disappointed. I do like the references they make, though they do kinda over do it at times. This is definitely more of a cult following movie, and realistically, I wanted to like it. But somehow, it dragged on. I was disappointed, and that sums it up well. I guess if you like internet reviewers/gamers (and I certainly do) you can get into this, and there's no problem with it either. But for me, this is kinda a letdown.

What is more ironic then a an Internet movie reviewer that fails at acting, directing, comic timing, editing, special effects, regular timing, scenery, comedic events and putting two movies together for hundreds of thousands of Internet money?

Nothing.

Why these people would show off how untalented they are is beyond my imagination. I can't even grasp why any of these individuals thought it was a good idea to use their real names and be forever connected to this crap.

Maybe they are going to be Internet reviewers forever? Maybe they think this is some way to jump start their "careers" or maybe their ego is so inflated that they actually can't see how abysmal this is....

This isn't for everyone. You won't find it funny if you don't usually watch content from TGWTG. In fact, unless you know a lot of the in jokes from all of the reviewers, it won't be nearly as enjoyable. Basically, if you don't watch tgwtg.com material really often, it won't be enjoyable. It got silly gags. Obviously. Were people expecting anything else? I wasn't expecting a rom-com. I was expecting a funny silly comedy. The people behind this were catering to their audience, which for the most part is 18 or younger movie fanatics. And people claiming that they don't know how to make a movie considering they bash on movies for a living is ridiculous. For one thing, they've never claimed they CAN make a movie. I pretty sure only a few of the reviewers on this site went into any sort of film study in school. And I couldn't tell you who that is, or how long they were studying. Plus, I have a feeling the script was somewhat of a group effort. I bet everyone put their two cents in, not just the credited script writers. Another thing, it doesn't have a big budget. So no, there aren't top of the line effects and award winning acting. IT's cheesy. Yes. It's basically just friends goofing off. And if you're a big fan of these reviewers like me, you'll enjoy it.
