Gamer reviews GAMER: The Movie - Square Eyed Jak

[@BugsyFoga]

The fact there's a freaking film called gamer from 2009 that almost no one has talked about for the last decade is something which elludes me.

[@Coreisus]

Same! Every other gaming related movie was either lambasted or hailed, either way we knew them!

[@crashfan9997]

Yeah it's a wild situation 😂

[@TurboPro9952]

Joeseppi COUGH

[@bluehawaii5066]

Still one of the most underrated channel on the platform

[@mattgillam7379]

Was gonna comment the same thing !

[@TheNathanNS]

12:20 Caddicarus put it best when he tweeted something about the word "gamer" being stupid because you don't see people who watch movies being called "moviers" or something

[@ALIEN-DUDE]

Or someone who reads books called bookers, it sounds like something lame and corny your dad would call you.

[@bretton_woods]

or a foodie: someone who eats food, which is everybody

[@NanaKyoto]

I feel as though this movie are the things I often see in my nightmares. But I am so glad we have since moved on from the whole "epic gamer" attitude that was in the late 2000's and early 2010's (for the most part), while simultaneously fearing an all digital, always connected future.

[@jinksy9816]

10:53 Glad they could resolve all their problems with a Michael Jackson Thriller dance off

[@GreatBeardofWisdom]

I was 19 when this came out. I paid money to see it at the cinema. I will never get that time back 😂

[@TaxFraudTutorials]

Man this movie really disturbed me when I was younger. My friend showed it to me when we were teenagers

[@LEYLANDGAMER]

I am so glad my KZbin name is no longer Leyland gamer haha. People still watching in 2034: Teaser for Square Eyed Jak reviewing Ratchet and Clank. He also is aware of Terry Crews, please tell me that Jak has watched White Chicks that would be literally insane!

[@lightning_round]

Sweet intro, loved seeing Spyro in it too

[@n1njahawkssecondchannel84]

Yep it is

[@jbzhummerh2gamer]

You are a gamer. I am a gamer. There are lots of gamers in this world. Let the word be.

[@SDK2K9]

Well someone's got a fancy new intro. It looks great, and I hope you've been doing well Jak.

[@trvshbxvt3146]

BUMPITY BUMP GREAT REVIEW!

[@crashfan9997]

This seems like a wild movie haha. It's baffling that Gerard Butler actually made a movie called Gamer in 2009 lol. Interestingly, it's directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor who also directed both Crank movies and Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance. Those are bonkers but fun movies. This was an interesting video! Btw, Amber Valletta damn...

[@grandyman111]

Thanks for the great FUCKING vid Jak! Hope things are going great on your end, looking forward for the next one!

[@fallenmidori]

ummmmmm how have i not heard of this movie for almost a decade and a half???

[@lmddhumour]

You should review the movie Death Race. It reminds me a lot of jak X combat racing

[@eternalsword1999]

I too watched it when I was 14, my oldest brother rented it around the time I saw Sinister for the first time and fuck was that an interesting weekend, you can guess which film was better lol, another interesting video dude keep it up.

[@the1ucidone]

2034 Planet Prison is gonna be the most lit game. Best graphics ever because it's actually real life.

[@Lady_Aleera]

What are the odds me and my girlfriend just watched this yesterday lol 😆😆 Gamer is a awesome B movie, I mostly like it because of Gerard Butler, the man is so underrated, wish we could've gotten a sequel

[@jdrahonovsky]

It's not even a good B movie. Saw it in theaters and it blew my mind with how God awful it was.

[@bruce3242]

​@@jdrahonovsky Well! It's all subjective anyway.

[@cicabeot1]

I need to remind myself to comment on this video in 11 years.

[@jackcravford8744]

I love the intro shootout. Butler using some semi-tactics, he looks like a badass with the AR and vest. The shootout is glitching with desync and random lags, like sadly most of online shooter games. Awesome sound design.

[@Geferulf_TAS]

Red flag to ask to go shooting? Maybe in the Commonwealth. I had my first rifle at 12 and pistol at 16 lol

[@decadentgamer3108]

I vaguely remember this movie lol. I never watched it but I remember seeing TV trailer commercials for it and after seeing this review of it, I can definitely say that I don't really find it all that appealing. I was about 18 when the movie came out and I was never into online co-opt shooters like Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, and other games of that nature so the premise didn't interest me off the bat when hearing what it was about in those old tv commercials and after seeing footage from the movie here, I can tell I would be annoyed of how the women are treated like eye-candy decor props in it (sorry, just being honest here). In saying that, I can see why this movie would have a cult following for those who grew up with it, it's pretty much the late 2000s/early 2010s Hackers (1995) movie and I suppose in that way, that's kinda cool lol. Also what you said about the term "gamer", I never thought of it like that because while it's true that there are some cringe stuff some gamers do, I always just looked at the term as a descriptor to describe someone who likes to play videos. How they behave is a whole other thing but the word alone is pretty obvious what it means. It's like people who call themselves "Artists", we just call ourselves this to express that we like to draw. But that's just my thoughts on the topic of course. Anyway good review, this definitely felt like a time capsule back to the early 2010s LOL

[@f.prince6642]

You are a true legend my friend.

[@n1njahawkssecondchannel84]

I never knew there was a movie called gamer looking at this video I’m glad I never heard of it out of all the names why this Makes me happy I’m not the movie games but a gaming gamer 😂Oh boy I gotta stop before I start laughing 😆

[@lmddhumour]

Love the new intro! Feels really cyberpunk

[@samwill7259]

Are ya ready GAMERZZZ

[@CaitiffPrimogen]

I don't believe that anyone in a creative role on this production had ever played a game, or even seen a game outside an of advert. Having played online games, nothing about Slayers rings true or makes sense. The only good part of the film is the dance number.

[@brodiemorgan4852]

Was a great night back at 14 it was always a laugh at your birthday haha and great review jak :)!!!

[@jdh21403]

I love Gamer, it’s pretty goofy but I think it’s super underrated, especially as a huge fan of the Crank movies. That being said I also enjoy the Death Race remake starring Jason Statham, which has similar commentary on the prison system and a tournament similar to that of Slayers

[@J_Skeezy]

DAMN Jak called in a Nostalgia Nuke with Grandma's Boy and now this ❤️ genuinely disgusted with myself for not seeing this since the theater, but still to this day will never forget how fucking amazing the trailer for it was. Manson's Sweet Dreams over Gerard Butler whooping Terry Crews. Oh shit...I'm back anyways Jak damn what a much needed trip. Excellent work mate 👍

[@dragonclaud2386]

Nice Change of Pace with a Videogame Movie :) hope for some more in the Future

[@StronkiTube]

Oh yeah, I remember a friend of mine, his mother took us to the cinema to go watch it. Dropped us off at the cinema and just later picked us up after the movie was over. Was like 15-16 years old, and it was pretty enjoyable back then. But hey, I was just a teenager. Looking at it back now, I will say the the concept is indeed very interesting, but definitely cringe a bit with some of the stereotypes.

[@jadedbreadncircus9159]

"So fucked for our entire generation" ... I'm 40. It's been fucked for a while.

[@silversoulken]

Jak never ever fails to make me laugh 😂😂

[@n1njahawkssecondchannel84]

Me too

[@demontorch]

Ya gotta review Pitfall the Lost expedition (one of the games you played for one of your game testing videos)

[@sling-b]

epic GAMER moment

[@BlueBladerBot]

Why would people put themselves as an avatar? And whats stopping anyone from puppeting the teenagers?

[@gracekim1998]

Well this is news to me. Let’s get our game wizard hats on 😊

[@e93sports80]

Love the intro

[@crashtefano]

It's going to be one of those movies, isn't it?

[@XpertGreekGamer]

Is this a new intro you cooked there or i missed it earlier, either way this movie has already been discussed to death so i have no interest in watching another take Was my initial thoughts but you always have something new worth discussing or some new insight where i haven't heard of before. Like always tbh, same with the prototype vid, you always have something note worthy to say, humorous or not and that's why you're awesome. Keep it up lad

[@djtoxicdhg]

Crank was soo good

[@franzpattison]

Cool intro 👍

[@UnwantedSelf]

I thought this movie was so shit when it came out.

[@ScorpioCesarcade]

Wasn’t even aware this movie even existed till now. Despite the cringe on display and the nausea inducing glitch effects strewn throughout, the use of vibrant colors in some scenes is eye catching. Could definitely do without that sweaty greaseball though but any scene with Amber Valleta in it makes me feel like she’d be perfect for a Cyberpunk 2077 movie. Fantastic movie review Jak, I love this type of content. You’re damn good at it!

[@Robinson513]

Neo Green hill zone vs People

[@warai309]

Man please make reviews on more known movies... or shit on wwe thanks. Btw maybe south park games reviews?

[@shadowleon659]

I actually enjoyed this movie.

[@playerunkown8699]

Lol michael c hall had bad performances too He is very good actor in that show dexter

[@unknownman2935]

You should play need for speed most wanted 2005 🎮

[@melvinsantos9756]

😎👍🏿

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

Maybe we were the game and we were all played like a bunch of fools...

[@JoshuaJacobs83]

Nothing wrong with wanting to to shoot. It's what or who your target is thats the problem

[@bretton_woods]

Never heard of this despite being a 35 yo "game-adjacent" dude...

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Never wanted to stomach this movie b/c it looked so bad and cringe. Looking at this now, maybe I'll give it a chance. Who knows? I might like it ironically, but I doubt it.

[@neondreams0514]

The Crank movies are way better and more fun imo but this one is decent with some friends and beers, you're not missing anything by not watching it though lol

[@TheGoku741]

Hey Jak, I hope you read and reply to this, but I've always wondered how you do these custom logos for your videos, where you adapt a game's title/logo with your channel's name. I'd really appreciate it if you could share how you do it; I've always found it cool. Great video by the way! Cheers from Brazil amigo, keep up the good work.

[@Acidonia150reborn]

This movies just a copy of The Running Man just by out of touch boomers who think only lame people like games. Just watch The Running Man or play Smash TV instead.

[@shaggytewsak]

I absolutely love this movie. I just watched it with my girlfriend un ironically a week or two ago.

[@WH250398]

I consider it pretty shit to be honest. The camerawork and editing in particular are nasty. Ready Player One is a much better film to watch if you like games.

[@suntannedduck2388]

This was hard to watch all the trash/overdone stuff of action, teen whatever and look at the west cover gaming in the most yawn worthy way possible. The sense of cool is just so who cares. A fair look at it but eh I can't stand these movies even in 2009 let alone today. Glad I'd never heard of it gets dusted under the rug even if it has relevance which is fair it's a bit eh regardless of covering the topic in a fair enough way. Ah someone that codes, yeah hacking scenes are always laughable. But still the budget is impressive for what this is. That and the cake and eat it too approach of messaging to viewers and having a gaming but action movie rescue someone. Also I hate nightclub scenes and other nonsense it puts me off all the time. Gamebox 1.0, Mythic Quest (the least terrible of western one), Grandma's Boy and now Gamer The Movie. Then again Real Guy was pretty good for a game world movie. That or Scott Pilgrim with game references. Ready Player One I found the movie better than the book. So hopefully this is good..... Which it seems pretty eh, ok sure that's it, eh pass. Scott Pilgrim sounds more interesting and it's just a comic with game references with a No More Heroes style plot and I never even saw that just a review/analysis and it sounded more interesting. I mean they are what they are. New Game is still my favourite game development anime/show in general and nothing has topped it (it isn't perfect but it at least shows the development stuff I want to see then it being in the background and otherwise games in a terrible way like most TV shows do in the west). For gaming as in playing a game not sure don't think much into those as most of the time games are better than the media portraying them anyway. Unless it literally has people familiar with what they are then overdramatic representation of gaming.

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

Jak saying he hates the word gamer even though that’s exactly what we are. Nothing you can do to change that man!

[@bretton_woods]

you're a gamer if it's your occupation, otherwise you are "someone who plays games". I got 100s of games i have no time to play (maybe play 1 game a YEAR these days)... so im not exactly a gamer haha

[@skeetsofrage9517]

What's wrong with shooting guns?

[@ShoXwavee]

selling your body on the internet isn't a job lol

[@godzillaprime]

The guy playing the guy playing the wife would be a perfect boomer

[@DavidWilliams-yq6ix]

Damn, this guy when woke
