It's definitely great. I don't watch a whole lot of Youtube shows but I started watching this one about a year ago and I have to say it's freakin perfect! It's hilarious, awesome and as it's called "HONEST trailers" most of the things that Jon Bailey says are true! For example the first couple of times that I watched Fight Club's Honest Trailer I thought it was kinda funny. After watching it with my friend once more I realized that they actually have a point. A lot of the things they say make sense! I don't wanna say that they ruin the entire movie for you. They just open interesting subjects that you usually don't notice. At the end I have nothing but best wishes for Jon Bailey and Screen Junkies!!
They only had one good video, the phantom menace (and maybe Kingdom of the crystal skull) but that's it.

Honest review for honest trailers gotta tell the truth.....lol jk this is one of my favorite webseries of all time pretty well written funny brilliantly edited and of course the epic voice of Jon Bailey!! Definitely the highlight of my Tuesday every week;)
There's no shortage of parody to be found on YouTube, but I can't think of a more winning concept than "Honest Trailers". It captures the spirit of the classic voiceovers dude from the '80s while skewering all manner of mainstream garbage.
And after so many years, it still hasn't gotten old. For me, Jon Bailey is the secret weapon; he makes for an excellent Epic Voice-over Guy, channeling Don LaFontaine with plenty of room for his own humorous touches. It doesn't matter whether they're taking jabs at some low-hanging fruit like "Armageddon" or a bulletproof classic like "The Empire Strikes Back", it's always funny. And when they're really trashing a movie, it is glorious (*cough* "Suicide Squad" *cough*).
Few YouTube shows are consistently this entertaining.

As far as YouTube movie satire goes, this series lands the perfect balance between insightful satire and nitpicking. Every episode shows a true love of the movies, a true requisite for making a parody that resonates with the audience and hits the right points. The presentation of the series is very authentic to the style of old trailers, with a kinetic pace that presents everything in rapid succession for maximum impact and flow. Not to mention the graphics are always very professional looking to match the original movies!
