My lord, I've finally found it. When I was six, I got up and went to my parents room because I had a nightmare (which was pretty common for me at the time). They let me sleep at the foot of their bed, but instead, I started watching the movie playing on TV. All I could remember was it was about a guy in a coma who went to this scary underworld. It was the source of my nightmares for months, and I still remember it to this day, but I didn't know the title. "Monkeybone". Who'd have thought?

[@EndCreditReviews]

I have to strongly disagree with you at around 9:53 because he is a good actor. If you seen Gods and Monsters, The Quiet American, With Honors, and Crash, he can do drama very well. He was also convincing as an action hero in the first two Mummy movies, but sometimes an actor is limited to the quality of the script (in this movie's case, it was piss poor).

[@ElFreakinCid]

I don't know why he thinks Looney Tunes Back in Action was so bad either. At least it can be enjoyed genuinely, unlike Space Jam where everyone just likes it ironically.

[@HyrumLarson]

He also probably had some bad direction for what to do.

This movie, for me anyway, is like "Coolworld" where it could have been really amazing and thought-provoking, but ended up falling flat after too many rewrites. I used to own this movie and remember hearing on the audio commentary that the film was originally going to focus a LOT more on S. Miley's (I see what you did there, movie) time in Downtown. It was his own personal limbo rather than a mass coma waiting room, and every resident there was somebody he'd thought up/drawn (which they briefly touch on in the movie but only for like, a minute). The rest of the movie is him dealing with the world around him and coming to terms with himself. I don't know if the story would have been any better in practise, but we'd at least get more Downtown visuals, which is the best part of the movie.

[@guyincognito8043]

To address the "alter-ego" thing, I believe they just didn't feel like it after a while, and scrapped it. Not unlike the "Marge's ears" thing. They did say that Bart's hero is Krusty, and he has no respect for his father, so they thought it would be an interesting dynamic. I'm glad they didn't do it; I think it would've gone down as a ""Principal and the Pauper".

11:58 Rammstein 😂😂😂 That would honestly be perfect.

Oh god, Monkeybone... It's a movie I forget exists quite often, but still can never truly forget it. It was such a strange movie that made no sense. I agree Brendan was a big miscast. He doesn't fit the role. He's one of my favorite actors. Not because of his looks, per say. He does make weird faces when firing a gun, which I've affectionately called "Brendan face". While I do like his acting, there's just something about him that seems... kind. His eyes seem honest and compassionate. Of course I'm not sure if he's actually a nice guy, but I've always had that feeling about him. I've heard good things about him, though. But yeah, to me, he's a lovable goofball who was amazing in The Mummy trilogy and Inkheart. He's always been one of those actors that goes under the radar. No real scandals or headlines. He just does a role, then moves on. It's only when the new Mummy movie came out that people started to have Brendan-mania. And for good reason.

12:03 That purple alien thing is in bed with a wasp woman. It’s literally the scariest thing ever because I’m not a huge fan of regular wasps so I will not sleep tonight.

[@FormulaFanboy]

YAY NOSTALGIA CRITIC IS MY INSPIRATION FOR EVERYTHING I DO!!! EATING BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER... MAKING VIDEOS... AND TYPING IN CAPS LOCK!!!

[@dvass7253]

18:29 - Anyone else expecting Spawn to bust through that skylight and drag this movie back to Hell where it belongs?

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

What The Heck Is "MonkeyBone"? Never Heard Of It In My Life!

[@blazenitro7176]

I was 14 when it was in theaters; I thought it was okay... Ranked right up there with Little Nicky :P

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Little Nicky? I Never Heard Of That Movie Either, Blaze Nitro!

[@benjamin_burke]

Little Nicky is a movie where Adam Sandler plays Satan's son. No joke.

[@TheOswards306]

Dexter The Nostalgia Toonster it is base on a book called Death Town. You get what I'm saying.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

What A Stupid Idea For A Adam Sandler Movie!

[@entr3_nou5]

Little known fact: Every time the song "Foxy Lady" is played in a sex scene, Jimi Hendrix sobs in his grave.

[@UntaintedSKS]

6:15 in fact that is actually a picture of Homer Simpson dressed as Krusty the Clown from The episode Homie The Clown season 6 episode 15 18:31

[@moongiggler]

Untainted SKS yeah, I watched the review too

[@mikeynike81]

moon_ giggler this reply makes no sense

[@Puerco-Potter]

mikeynike81 no, is not cheese.

[@grimesey8327]

mikeynike81 it does, because NC literally states in the review that the scene is from homie the clown

[@Spikey1227]

Oh good you have ears!

[@Jason_Altea]

10:50 And then Animaniacs came along... And they pushed that envelope so much that it could no longer be seen from its original starting point. Or from its halfway point.... Or the three-quarters point.... Or the nine-tenths point.... Or the 19/20 point.... Or the 99/100 point.... Or the- You know, they really pushed that envelope hard, (if ya know what I'm getting at), let's leave it at that, otherwise we (or at least I) will be here all day.

[@JohnyMCness]

they pushed the envelope so much it flew out of the window and was carried by the wind to every Corner of the round world, i don't know how but they sure as hell managed that

[@kayhaven4710]

Finger prince! 🤣

[@johnreilly316]

Ok. So here is a short story. I was 8 years old when this movie came out, my Dad was flipping through channels and he came across this movie and I watched the scene where Brenden Fraser's character gets possessed by Monkeybone. I remember being completely weirded out by just watching parts of this movie and years later that creepy orange creature (I forgot it was even a monkey until today) had weirdly slipped into my subconscious. Sometimes it would haunt my childhood dreams (similar to the IT creature, except I have never been to Derry so I was safe) and I had legit NEVER seen a rerun of the film, despite my best attempts of looking and scanning the channels over the years. Now today, after 16 years, I have finally found out that this movie is just purely weird for the sake of being weird BULLSHIT. Childhood version of me has finally solved the mystery of the creepy orange monster movie. Thank you Nostalgia Critic. And I swear to god this is a true story!

[@sirMAXX77]

Aroused be arm flaps? Um... No. I can say never. Actually the opposite.

[@dillon1790]

Please review the original Resident Evil (2002) film or the Death Race remake (2008)!!!

Ernst Stavro Blofeld oh look its DR. Loomis

[@douglasammirati8450]

ParaNorman still holds up? Dude, film is like, only five years old

[@napalmblaziken]

Douglas Ammirati And it's held up for all five years.

[@gretchen8100]

Rewatching this after forever.. And I don't know who does the captions but give that person more work! Dude, you are super fun! :)

[@tenjenk]

Cool world would have been good without the constant interference that ruined its original intentions.

[@CJ-ln5ov]

5:50 Wait, how did the Critic immediately NOT Recognize Ash's Hat and Burn it at a Stake?!

[@amandaholland7446]

...pulling the plug on a coma patient isn't going to kill them.

[@RikoZerame]

It will if you're pulling the plug on the IV. Just very, veeeeeerrrrry slowly.

[@CazRaX]

Depends on damage and the kind of coma, pulling the plug very much can kill many coma patients.

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

Amanda Holland well that certainly takes the fun out of doing it!

[@SableLeaf]

To whoever typed the KZbin subtitles for this: 10/10. You made this viewing experience much more immersive for me. X'D

[@CriticalNobody]

Brendan Fraser might not have the best movie career, but his few appearances on Scrubs makes up for all of that.

[@Liowen]

I thought they were saying "I will not breed." but I guess not breathing is just as good.

[@johnkirby8939]

Liowen well, if you stop breathing your odds of breeding go way down.

[@Liowen]

True...but why risk it? I mean cockroaches can live without their heads for, up to, 30 days, imagine what an idiot can do without breathing.

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

Liowen well technically if someone holds their breath until they lose consciousness, they pass out and the body involuntarily gasps and begins breathing again.

[@Theinen84]

The Brendan Fraiser's only short comings are that he's not a goofy looking doofus like others, and he likes to take artistic attempts and risks instead of just going for cookie cutter roles. He has a nice natural charisma, and yeah, the guy is good looking and likes to stay in shape. Then, just like how the critic did here, he's judged for being too good looking for his roles and stuff. The Mummy is a good example of roles he should take. Serious but always with a hint of comedy. That's his niche.

[@BlackLadyRaven]

who ever did the suptitles on this one THANK YOU!! the 'in between lines' make this even better! I am going to have to rewatch every video with the ENG sups on now!

[@SNSimone15]

The last time I was this early England was a country.

[@DinosaurSatan]

Malcom and Tamara's fake kid smiles are infectious. They just seem so *pleased* with themselves and can clearly spare no fucks until such time as their breathing privileges were revoked.

[@LittleMadAlice]

Well now at least I FINALLY know what it's like to be teabagged by Brandon Frasier

[@rodolforodriguez4447]

It`s amazing how both the director and main lead both got back a comeback with Wendel and Wild / the Whale

[@guitarwally1]

I have played the NC's spittake at 0.25 speed 10 times, but I still don't know how he pulled that off..

[@madhatter_vv576]

guitarwally1 At the end of the line. You can see a small jump cut before he does the spit take

[@itsmeherzegovina7703]

that's weird because I can clearly see the cut

[@madhatter_vv576]

ItsMeHerzegovina Yeah it's very noticeable around the head position...If that doesn't sound gay

[@IronAlchemist6]

guitarwally1 what time stamp is the spittake

[@ASHERUISE]

Yep, still as nightmarishly terrifying as it was when I was 10!

[@umachan9286]

Monkeybone is a fun movie. It's a shame that Brendan Fraser didn't do more comedy because I always thought he had great comic timing.

[@nixiscartwright5521]

I hope people understand that the "Old" fans of the Nostalgia Critic are beating a dead horse here with the skits. They complained when the Nostalgia Critic did the same thing over and over, and now they're complaining when he's making adjustments and not doing the thing they were complaining about. In the end, it's simple: People will never be satisfied.

[@smilingpsycho5550]

Yeah haven’t you heard of feminists

[@flamingpi2245]

You can never please anybody in this world

[@VideoGuy232]

Or maybe it’s just that he was never good or funny to begin with, but since he’s the only KZbinr who regularly reviews 90s movies, people come to watch him even though they know they’ll be disappointed

[@VideoGuy232]

GOODFILMS Not really. I like that he basically shows the stories of movies that I watched when I was younger. So it’s really the movies I come to watch for. I can never make it through his commentary though. His critical insights are superficial and poorly communicated. He says that things “just don’t feel right” a lot. Like he doesn’t even understand his own opinions. And his humor and comic timing are terrible and mostly involve exaggerated faces, poses and tones followed by a mistimed pregnant pause and then a jump cut. And he always includes some poorly thought out backstory that adds nothing to the video nor the movie he’s reviewing. I wind up watching one of his videos after looking up the trailer for an old movie thanks to KZbin’s algorithm. I watch him so infrequently that when I see him in my recommended I think this time it might be better, but I always wind up disappointed. Kind of like most of the nostalgic movies he “reviews”

[@eddietruett]

Stopped watching Simpsons at Season 7? Season 8 is arguably the best season dude

[@guyincognito8043]

I'm a season 6 man, but 8 is an all-around great one.

[@someguy9284]

I think he was referring to season 9. Well I hope so because 7 and 8 are fantastic.

[@Hadarouken]

Eddie Truett Top 5 Simpson seasons: 1. Season 4 2.Season 6 3.Season 3 4.Season 2 5.Season 8

[@pointlessshithead3272]

Season 6 is so good you put it twice

[@Hadarouken]

POINTLESS SHITHEAD You're right lol I'll change it

[@davisphillips993]

At least Fraser will be getting a comeback soon with The Whale and Killers of the Flower Moon

[@ZoraCatone]

Is it bad that I loved this movie for years and it actually helped a great deal during a really hard time? Contrary to the critic's tirade, I actually related to Stu a lot. Not to mention it isn't done half as horribly as he describes. This is the kind of movie where if something is unexplained, it only gives further grounds as to why everything is so messed up. If you look into the production history, a lot of things will make much more sense. Admittedly though, a lot of things do get lost im translation.

[@mentaya11]

I have to recommend watching this with subtitles on. Whoever did this made the review even just a bit better. They still put in what was said faithfully, even admitting when they weren't sure, but the occasional commentary was hilarious as well. Whoever did that, good job. I enjoyed it.

[@jonathansefcik473]

Doug seems like a great parent.

[@oneandonlyangie9422]

Jonathan Sefcik I think He's mentioned that he has a son

[@reddragon0624]

OneandonlyAngie I think he's at least implied that him and his wife don't have kids. Or maybe that was Rob

[@Fire_Summoner]

Basically the monkey bone cartoon is a big mouth prequel?
