This music and narrator voice make it feel like something tragic happened 😂

it was truly bad. he should be ashamed

The best thing about R.E was the action scenes. What it needs was a screen writer or second screen writer, and a slight change in story and structure. Possibly shorten the first 10min and have Ryan Drake in the movie in the first five. Or minutes. Start of with a flashback scene of Ryan with his team watching his friend get killed, so it starts off with having more empathy with the protagonist motives for wanting vengeance. Or it might have worked of it was a full 2-3 hour movie, but many of the characters we did not care for. The short Film The Flying Man amd The Great Kineeso was great short film. T.G.K was under three min and already got people hooked, and while yes both was superhero films so a different genre, it had great storytelling. I think C.D just needs a good writer and Screen writer.

This is ticking me off now. Where does one go to get a non-leftist take of this movie? To be clear, this was a pretty damn poor movie. However it was more of a vending machine affair. You put your novel into the vending machine and a bunch of clowns that promise you that they'll make you the best movie ever tells you that now made you the best movie ever and then they deliver you this crap on a plate. Dude's name isn't even in the credits, aside from shared writing duties! On the other hand, I do a KZbin search for reviews of this and all I get is progressives that hate the guy to begin with point and laugh about how bad bad it is. Just like this review. The choreography is bad. The pacing is bad. The colors are bad. The acting is bad. The story is bad. Why!? You go into no further depths! None of you do! 20 different reviews and it's like you copy pasted each other's homework! I thought you were supposed to be a damn screenwriter?! This is garbage and it's no wonder you have so little views on all of your videos. Your Channel, along with the hyenas pointing and laughing at this abortion, are as poor as this damn movie is! Low effort Take the Money and Run trash! Do better! Don't worry, I'll send Will Jordan a Twitter message telling him the same thing when choosing the next vending machine company to feed one of his books to. When you review that next movie why don't you go into some damn depth??! Tell us what he could have done here or what he should have done there or how this could have been better or what you recommended for this or that. That way it doesn't seem so God damn obvious that you think he's some racist alt right troll. At least pretend to give a damn about this crap and maybe you'll get more views!

I do have VERY fond memories... I miss the public backlash and mockery of LESBO HEADTRAMP and THE AZHOLE-ITE 😢😢😢

Do you agree with me assessment? Which one do you think is the better movie? John Wick 1 or John Wick 4? I'd love to know why you chose one over the other... let me know!

I love how everyone before Logan wanted Old man wolverine. What we got was something special. Forget MCU saga Logan is top notch. This is why I always loved X-Men series it was more grounded. Well done Fox.

You'd expect a lot better from the likes of him.

Wow. Amateurish and formulaic. Of course, the Cons' unspoken motto is "Do as we say, not as we do."

He is my favorite character wolverine is the GOAT!

The sad reality that this movie shows is that critics and writers are two different things; but on the bright side judging by Drinker’s best and worst of 2024 video it seems like he’s taken the L there’s hope if he makes another movie it won’t be as bad.

So bad movie that Russell was wearing Hawaiian shirt with Captin rank 😂 so crazy

Why is the cinematography looks so bland and too bright? Even he can't make a decent visual style for his own movie lol

If you're in the mood for a great movie with depth and a masterful story, Logan is an easy recommend. It's just as good to watch it again or for the first time. One of my all time favorite movies.

👍 👍

I loved this movie 😂 Just goes to show you should see No Movie that’s gets good critics reviews

It stands out alright and I can't go into detail for obvious reasons 😂

😂

Great review ,cook that fraud

Northman dont deserved flop 💔😔 because is soo great movie at 2022 by Eggers

Its badly written and very cliche but we already knew that from the trailer. Plus Drinker is a terrible reviewer. Hes popular for being anti woke and shouting (((the message))).

I'll always be a HUGE Drinker fan. Love his reviews and overall point of view on the state of modern cinema, but this was a huge miss. It felt more like cut scenes from a video game than a cohesive story. I'd rather have just scene the limited $$ and effort go to tell the beginning of this story, but tell it well. This not only made me not want to see any future versions of this story, but turned me off toward the books as well. It started off as a confusing mess, and by the time we figure out who was who...I didn't care about any of them or what happened to them.

I admit I contributed to the kickstarter, hopeful it would come out better than it did. The visual style is not cinematic nor does it feel like it's made for TV. I understand this is his first effort, but he had the funding and likely good will that he could have had consultants or advice provided. I'm wondering if he lacked any kind of pushback during development, as he generally has a good eye for this stuff. Overall I was pretty disappointed with the end result. I think your review is honest and I find myself agreeing with it in general. I think it's fair to have expected more, I'm just curious why so many elements fell short.

This guy shouldn't be giving movie ratings

Star Wars, no contest. Marvel became the most popular movie franchise in history under Disney. THEN it was ruined, but not before becoming more popular than it had ever been. Star Wars, although quite ruined before Disney got it (the prequels were bad, please don’t forget), only sank it further and further. There was never a resurgence, only more ruining.

I'd say there's a big difference between Disney making a stinker and a dude making his FIRST movie debut and having it be a stinker. Saw your video when I had gone to watch Rogue Elements. It aint great lol. Nah it aint great and any of us CD fans who say it is, are lying. But when taking into acount that it is truly his FIRST ever film project, it aint that bad. If he'd BEEN making little film projects since college, I'd have a different opinion. Seems like everyones being hard on it purely because its him for personal reasons. CD only goes hard on Disney/Marvel products because they spend mass amounts of money and still produce duds while acting as if they're high and mighty. CD didnt make that good of a project, obviously, but give him time. Disney has HAD nothing but time and still flops

A note on Disney and CD: this short film was never meant to be a masterpiece. This is the first time he is doing it, on a limited budget (considering what such an action film demands) and limited talent. The same script with a different director, editor and background score would have made a huge difference. Throw in an experienced screen writer to help Will improve his script (he is experienced at writing novels not scripts) and we are talking about a better product. Increase the length of the film, and we have avenue for engaging set ups, progression and payoff. For example, Precinct 13 was a very simple film and yet much of its screen time is actually needed - meaning although it's unremarkable in the first 30 mins --- that set up helps. Point is - if Will had access to more money (and thereby talent) we would have seen something different. I just hope that they do more of these and improve from their mistakes. Comparing this project to what Disney does given all the things at Disney's disposable is intellectually dishonest. This doesn't mean that Will film isn't poor but it provides context as to why. Disney HAS NO EXCUSE. Sorry. No major experienced, loaded production house has any excuse.

Like its said in Matrix, everyone falls the first time. And it'll be fine.

You are correct that the short film is underwhelming. The writing needs improvement, but the direction, editing and background score was the major problem. Also, Will Jordan is not a script writer. Writing tight scripts and writing novels are two very different skills. But i still welcome it. I hope Will and the team do more of this and improve as they go. They dont have the experience of a major production to pull off a movie of this kind and it shows. This is why indi films are a hit and a miss many times.

I agree almost 100%; he shot himself in the foot with this one. Although I'm surprised by the lack of buzz from friends or foes. I'm especially put off by the fact that no effort whatsoever is made to give the film anything unique.

It’s obviously Star Wars , Marvel was bought in 2009 and has had almost every movie up to endgame and some afterwards were good to amazing

Someone should remake this but make the main character gay (and a woman) Now, that would save the project, or at least get more attention to it.

Is that your real voice or AI generated narrator? Your profile picture forces me to lean towards the latter, but I could be mistaken.

i expected it to be shit. he's an amateur writer and wrote this years ago as a first attempt. it wouldn't have got made if it weren't for his youtube presence. being a good critic does not mean you must be a good writer.

Dont really see how this is a review you didnt break down the story or characters you just said its bad. As a reviewer you re meant to, you know review the plot.

Could some of the CD fans out there recommend which of his novels they would recommend for a first-time reader of his work? I would ask that responders be sincere and recommend books they have actually read themselves. If your arguments are that this channel is making a personal attack on CD then I'd like the chance to see for myself and, if he is a more prolific fiction writer then that, I feel, is the place for me to start. For the sake of comparison I would like responders to give me their personal favourite and their least favourite novels of CD, as all writers have a best and worst novel in their body of work. Along with the titles, please include the years of publication, name of the publishing house(s) and a brief personal review so I have a sense of why you liked it/disliked it. I know this may seem like I'm asking a lot but I want responses from genuine readers of his and not trolls who might copy/paste a title and marketing blurb. I want to know that you're invested in the literature and why. Thank you in advance.

I was a comic book fan before STAR WARS. The truth is that I am a Star Trek more. To answer your question I think it's Marvel. Why because of the recent success that marvel has chang see sorry I missed spells it the ten rings guy. And the eternals why after endgame would you go that route. And instead of hiring another actor to play black panther that franchise is over and done

Most people would agree that Disney has done a great job creating content that destroyed both Marvel and Star Wars one movie and one TV show at a time. But which one have they done a better job at destroying? At the end of the video, I give my answer and the reasons for it. What do you think? Is it Marvel or Star Wars?

star wars. marvel themselves destroyed their own franchise.

Do you think its reasonable to compare a first time film maker to billion dollar companies?

lol cry harder you virgin cuck drinkers is the GOAT

Im sick of CD's shtick and the concept for rogue elements sucked, but this just sounds petty 💀

because cd is same as other yt parasites, driven by views money, soul-less trash;

WOW! They do move in herds... CD Fanboys do move in herds. Nothing like a good ole review bombing from the friendly folks of Critical Drinker's fan base. You see, it's okay if you like poorly written TV shows and movies... it just has to be done by the right person, and then it's amazing! Critical Drinker needs to stick to criticizing because he ain't a screenwriter. That's all I got for today... go away now.

Chat gpt write me an early 2000s jason bourne style thriller with call of duty dialogue! Honestly i like drinker's open bar but this was disappointing

Would like to point out this is proof of concept, so in other words a 'pilot' to see if it will be picked up also they are adapting his books not him writing the script, personally I thought it was decent and I hope it's picked up to see it polished and made for network television

This entire video is just “I don’t like him, therefore he is wrong and sucks”

He must have hurt you in your nether regions somehow and you couldn't wait to drag anything by critical drinker

Ironic, he just put out a positive review of Wicked the other day.

I find it amusing how poorly CD fanboys react here today! He writes bad Tom Clancy copies that are so generic. Just the name Ryan Drake. He's just another scammer who praises Japanese films but can't name a single one. Continue worshiping your false god, but he will not be your salvation! But what do you expect from someone who thinks Riggs from Lethal Weapon is a stoic character...
