Nostalgia Critic - Scooby Doo

[@kristofgriffin384]

Fun fact.The actor who played Shaggy in this movie,as well as the sequel is the same actor who played Shaggy in Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. And now he serves as Shaggy's official voice actor,replacing Cassey Kasem.

[@MegaFriendlyCreeper]

+kristof gergely Did you also know that the actors who played Daphne and Fred are a real couple?

[@kristofgriffin384]

MegaFriendlyCreeper No. Btw,it's nice to see you again. :)

[@thejerk8901]

What song starts playing at 3:10?

[@douglasrau5094]

+kristof gergely Yeah, that's Freddie Prince Jr. as Fred and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and for awhile in the early 2000s, they were paired together a lot in movies--this, "She's All That", "Summer Catch". They were like Adam Sandler and his annoying friends until people realized they really weren't anything all that special. Prince has mostly moved on to voice-over work and Lillard mostly does Shaggy. It's like half of his IMDB page.

[@BrixieAnn]

The actor who plays Velma in the film's voices Hotdog water in the new Scooby Doo series.

[@kelleymoultrie8696]

at the beginning he looks like he's having a midlife crisis

[@hinasakukimi]

Kelley moultrie i think that's the point

[@kelleymoultrie8696]

+hinasakukimi well I'm a stupid dumb kid

[@hinasakukimi]

Kelley moultrie not at all :P

[@terracannon876]

+Kelley moultrie I believe this was the last review he had made before he had a hiatus, when he had originally planned to stop doing NC videos. There was a lot of fan response, so he eventually went back on that decision (see "The Review Must Go On"), but at the time, he was just tired of doing these videos.

[@EyeOfArgus]

+terracannon876 it wasn't because of the fans, he stated in the review must go on, he wanted to do it because it was something he wanted to do, not because the fans wanted it

[@chazhinkley6602]

This was originally gonna be an 18 rated film which explains some of it6. Like the weed jokes and the Fred wanting to see Daphne nude

[@goldylover1000]

It was actually gonna be PG-13 not 18 heck since you're probably in the uk it would have been a 12A or 15 movie but warner bros cut it out same fate happened to osmosis jones and rover dangerfield where rover dangerfield was gonna be R rated and osmosis jones was gonna be PG-13 warner bros chickened out and cut those movies to G and PG I wish I would see the PG-13 cut of osmosis jones cause i like the movie and I think the PG-13 version would be funnier in my opinion but since warner bros loves to cut stuff to appeal to family audiences they did that and those movies bombed at the box office because of both poor advertising and cutting stuff down it's annoying because osmosis jones is a underrated movie that nobody knows about and I highly recommend watching it just skip the live action parts because those parts sucks in my opinion the animated scenes are awesome and it's an awesome movie because the live scenes where barely in it and I'm glad it focused on the good stuff as for rover dangerfield I haven't seen it.

[@123catey]

+Charlie Hinkley Were the hell did you get that information from?!?!?

[@CrashManUltra]

Anyone else realize that this entire episode is based on the last episode of Star Trek The Next Generation? The last scene is taken word for word in fact. I just watched that episode and thought the closing dialogue was familiar and just had to come and write this.

[@InspHCallahan]

ThePandanaman "All Good Things" being the episode, I caught it too.

[@hinasakukimi]

ThePandanaman i knew it was referencing something... i just didn't know what. i should've known, the NC _is_ a big star trek fan after all.

[@DarkLordDiablos]

+ThePandanaman I picked up on hints of that through the episode and then was certain at the end.

[@darkdracofire]

+DarkLordDiablos The clue for me was the past present and future selves plus the same event and the suggestion of a temporal anomaly. TNG was and still is my favorite Star Trek.

[@DarkLordDiablos]

darkdracofire TNG is one of My favourites also, used to be on BBC2 Wednesday night at 6pm.

[@Harlequin619]

0:00 2:33 Greatest rant in the history of rants.

[@tristanhartup4936]

Fun Fact: This movie was written by James Gunn, the director of Guardians Of The Galaxy.

[@Starry_Wave]

What, are you kidding me? How did he not make this movie work good like Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@Starry_Wave]

***** OK thanks.

[@millionsknives8850]

That explains why Guardians of the Galaxy didn't have a good plot.

[@millionsknives8850]

***** A boring and mostly forgettable one. To me. Yes, I was paying attention. I'd rather watch this movie than Guardians again.

[@sydneyhamilton2575]

+Tristan Hartup I Always Love Guardians Of The Galaxy.

[@helioskitty9328]

Regarding your freakout at the beginning... I think you've made a lot of our lives better just by existing, Doug. (You know I'm being serious because I didn't call you Nost like I've been doing pretty much ever since I saw the Matrix review.) Keep doing what you do and keeping our spirits up with your hilarious reviews.

[@xXMoonShadow]

I agree, i love your videos and point of views on some of these movies. You have saved me from many bad movies and got me to watch some that i normally wouldn't. Again i love your videos. And you are awesome.

[@AnimatedIdiotGuide]

***** Also I'm partially certain it was a joke.

[@Zed_Said]

toontownwiz2 During a convention sometime after this review came out, he said there was some truth to the rant, in particular to the part about it was all he was doing for a while. Eventually he just burned out and decided to retire the Critic persona in order to focus on other projects (which tanked, thus giving us the revival of the Critic that he wanted).

[@bigfootcounty442]

HeliosKitty He's just playing a character dude....

[@SirBlackReeds]

HeliosKitty How many of these videos are actual reviews? He seems to just break down the plot with jokes in between.

[@shanehiggers]

whether the film was good or not, Mathew Lillard as shaggy was fucking perfect

[@cometark42]

So was Linda Cardellini as Velma

[@Psnowdog7]

"Scrappy how many times have I told you, no urinating on Daphne.....THAT'S MY JOB." oh my god Doug XDDD

[@edgarbanuelos6472]

This implies he has done it more than once.

[@TallMist]

Wow... The only other time I've seen him so much as match that outburst was in the Batman and Robin review... And that was barely shown on screen... And it was only at the bat credit card... Wow... Now I remember why this movie gave me nightmares... Those darn purple creature things... Oh god why... Also, monster Scrappy... OH GOD WHY

[@christopherpeterson199]

The one that got me checking other Nostalgia Critic videos was the review of "Signs". It was hilarious and his rage freakout was so epic he almost went anime...funniest of all the reviews I've seen. Well that one and "Alien Resurrection"...

[@TallMist]

Christopher Peterson He's pretty much the movie equivalent to AVGN. XD

[@MGamer64]

LastWill1000 hey dont you know that they where rivals they where the biggest rivalry in 2008

[@TallMist]

GamingAnimeYMas Really? I never heard of that before. Then again, I only heard of AVGN a few months ago and NC, also a few months, but less than.

[@MGamer64]

LastWill1000 their rivalry is famous even internationaly that both have a brief cameo appearance in an anime that i dont remember its name but search for it

[@EmmaBonn96]

I need to memorize that opening monologue.

[@supersungal2]

And perform it from drama class 😂

[@funnemanboy]

Done and done.

[@thezachvolt6883]

+supersungal2 Then get suspended. Expelled. Restraining Order'd...

[@ZeroStriker165]

+Bakorafanboy13 same

[@cliffdweller990]

+Bakorafanboy13 yeah, although he screeches like some grandma on shrooms

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

This movie is a serious guilty pleasure of mine.

[@billfill4807]

jesus would like this movie

[@leecoffill8425]

I actually still love this movie, and I'm not eve guilty about it. I want to say Nostalgia Critic missed the point, but then I would have to back myself up and I'm not even really sure what the point was. Either way, this and the second movie are some of my favourites.

[@smallguy2412]

bill fill Why?

[@billfill4807]

Justin Talmadge why not????????????????????????

[@popsingerstar]

Lee Coffill so do i

[@lordgaben8876]

23:24 I don't even think that Shyamalan would think that plot twist would work.

[@00sasukelovagirl00]

The movie wasn't bad enough to warrant that emotional outburst.

[@00sasukelovagirl00]

Btw, "why did they make him look like marmaduke?" Let me guess, because their both Great Danes maybe??

[@KB_Grimweaver]

Maybe, Maybe not... but Disney's "Underdog" or "Food Fight" definitely would.

[@Arkantolas]

Yeah, it was.

[@CirnouliK]

00sasukelovagirl00 Admittedly, Marmaduke was out WAAAAY AFTER this particular Scooby-Doo movie, if I remember correctly, so it's like comparing the Mona Lisa to Shrek and saying the Mona Lisa copied off of Shrek.

[@BungieStudios]

Nostalgia Critic is a huge closet fan of Scooby Dooby Doo.

[@DaiNoShoujoNoYami]

*watches the Critic breakdown* You want a hug man? ;~;

[@alexanderlehane3459]

amen, man. amen

[@oren1305]

'Hello Timon, I've come to eat your soul..!' Oh Critic, you never fail to make me laugh, especially while drawing attention to potentially scarring moments…

[@whenthemusicsover6028]

***** *Timon.

[@oren1305]

Chozo Hunter Ah thanks. Typos are frustrating.

[@whenthemusicsover6028]

***** No problem. :)

[@CaptainCJ97]

***** its still tamone

[@oren1305]

CJAdams97 Yeah, because from the Google+ pop-up notifications, I cannot edit the original comment… I needed to go to the actual video and edit it.

[@MichaelSar12IsBack]

If they ever bring back Scrappy in the next Scooby-Doo cartoon, I want there to be an episode where he watches this movie and sue the producers.

[@SrGurkman]

I think he's actually less annoying in this than he is in the 80s cartoons.

[@Pokesquirtle7]

SrGurkman It's cause he's only in it for like 10 seconds minus the conclusion.

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

what really bugs me is that he was shown in Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporarted....well a statue of him at least

[@Musiclover19]

That sounds like a neat idea for an episode of Harvey Birdman or something.

[@princessgogo1996]

Rumplestiltskin G Yeah, and they're like "Never speak of him again"

[@iworshipTreCool12]

The Mary Jane part... I never noticed that part

[@louche2388]

And then Demo Reel flopped like a fish on dry land, so he had to suck it up and go back to being the Nostalgia Critic. Good times.

[@Eudaimonia7564]

What?that makes so much sense now actually... U didn't have to be an ass about it though.

[@louche2388]

Omar Dajani No, but I enjoyed being an ass about it.

[@fjalartandri00]

lester jones i have no idea what you guys are talking about

[@louche2388]

Fjalar Tandri Demo Reel. Doug's next big thing. He wanted to retire the Nostalgia Critic character.

[@fjalartandri00]

lester jones ok thanks

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

skip to 5:40 that's when the review actually starts.

[@katelynsinc]

The only GOOD THINGS about this movie is Shaggy's actor and the FREAKIN MUSIC score!

[@ZackExplorer28]

your kidding about Shaggy's actor right?

[@katelynsinc]

No why? He plays him in all the new stuff

[@ZackExplorer28]

XD LOL you serious?

[@katelynsinc]

yes XD

[@ZackExplorer28]

O_O...AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!*runs for my life*

[@BawsFox]

NC: The first thing that pops into your mind is probably correct. Me: Banana? ._. NC: Her name is ACTUALLY Mary Jane. >.> Me: Close enough :'D

[@spikeharusame]

TvTropes' name for the character that NO VIEWER likes is "the Scrappy"

[@ChickenPika]

Red Dwarf was such a great show.

[@Marshtial]

You could say it's pretty..... *click* nice...

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

ChickenPika Still is. New season comes out next year,

[@musicgal365]

Was there a Red Dwarf reference in this?

[@potatobombkyle]

+musicgal365 Yeah, Doug narrates over Shaggy saying "My middle name is Judas!" when he suggests leaving Fred and Daphne to get eaten.

[@ricardobitterman1404]

+Monkeybox Gaming WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT

[@BlackWatersElseWhere]

1:19 Dougs face is like, really red.

[@Deflocktion]

"I'm serious, just say the first name that pops in your head." Me: Mary? "Her name is Mary f***ing Jane!" :O

[@QuantumParticle]

"You know we already have cards..." "Don't ruin the moment."

[@RealClassixX]

Huh. Turns out, the movie is fanfiction. Bad fanfiction at that.

[@TheGawd100]

The beginning made me feel bad about myself....

[@RandomCryptid412]

(Watching NC's breakdown) Jesus man, calm down!

[@ananthusarat]

Yep!

[@rude-buster]

ananthusarat put the speed on 2 and remove audio. have fun watching his blood get so hot it becomes a leading cause for global warming

[@ananthusarat]

[@lukafakehero6453]

Wonder if Doug will ever DOO Monster's Unleashed.

[@christines8585]

Daphnetly not.

[@Pkcosplayer]

He'd be too a-Fred he's have a brain malfunction from it.

[@christines8585]

[@LegoDude2465]

Christy Bubbles aahahahaahahaha!! My sides are splitting up and looking for clues! ahhaa!!

[@JD1010101110]

lol they made Velma hotter than Daphne

[@IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

+JD1010101110 And the actress who played Velma also voiced Wendy in Gravity Falls & C.J. in Regular Show.

[@inuyashasmells]

+Ivan Simpson awsome

[@roaming_holden]

+Ivan Simpson she also plays Hawkeye's wife in Avengers age of Ultron

[@MagusMirificus]

+JD1010101110 Velma has always been hotter than Daphne. She's curvier, and smarter.

[@AshXXMayftw]

Wait he said that in the Scooby Doo universe there was no magic yet Zombie Island had magic that turned women into cat people and allowed them to raise the dead and in the Alien movie they also state aliens are real as well and they even show them at the end. All this took place before this movie mind you, not sure if Witch's Ghost did though.

[@JYJnKumi]

I want to get my hands on the original script for the film. Originally, this movie was just supposed to be a parody with a lot of stoner jokes and a side relationship with Velma and Daphne, but the executives wouldn't allow it.

[@FaceUnreality]

JYJnKumi That would have been a great film.

[@47Cartoonguy]

I actually bought the original script from ebay last year when James Gunn or someone at WB was selling and it had all those elements you listed except the Velma and daphne lesbianism I think it was a rewrite the year on the script was 2000. And it was much darker than the final project.

[@dickslap37]

i haven't seen zombie island in years, but i remember it being fantastic.

[@FaceUnreality]

dickslap37 It's my fave Scooby Doo movie.

[@KittyPieKawaii]

did anyone else notice in the beginning of the film where they go their seperate ways.... they're all walking to diff cars dat kinda make fun of their personalities but... THEY ALL GOT THERE IN DA MYSTERY MACHINE! y r their personal cars there?

[@TheRubberWolf]

Don't question it, you might die.

[@KittyPieKawaii]

True

[@schwarzerritter5724]

They stole the cars from the reporters.

[@KittyPieKawaii]

and they just happened to hav cars to match their personalities

[@schwarzerritter5724]

KittyPie Kawaii Unlikely coincidence. It's not like it's the only one.

[@cyrussnow6060]

His rant about being alone in the beginning hits very close to me. :(

[@GBart]

1:30 - this is why it offends me so when people who _did_ have an ok time getting along with their peers growing up and went to parties and dated and all that shit call themselves nerds.

[@finnk7684]

22:05 i remember those souls scaring the fuck out of me as a kid.

[@InhumanPotato]

lol, me too. I always seemed to see them out of the corner of my eye when i was trying to go to sleep. Thanks, brain!

[@mkt568]

I'd like to see the Critic has yet to review the sequel (Monsters Unleashed).

[@CalebCraft10]

Sadly, they created 3 sequels, and a series that ended in everyone dying and being warped to another demension.

[@CalebCraft10]

***** Scooby Doo duh! -Scooby Doo -Scooby Doo 2 -Scooby Doo Origins (or whatever its called) -Scooby Doo Curse of the Lake Monster -Scooby Doo Mystery Inc (Series)

[@mamaluigi0993]

Mystery inc. was awesome it had me thinking what was going to happen next!

[@CalebCraft10]

Mama Luigi I know. It was pretty good, it's just the ending sucked. Shame really. :P

[@mamaluigi0993]

yeah, I was kinds disappointed about the ending too

[@marktheaustin]

***** Scooby Doo: mystery Begins and scooby doo: Curse of the lake monster were part of a different series. And I agree, they both are horrible. Horrible enough to write a five page essay about how horrible they are. I'm dead serious.

[@RetroRupp]

"No urinating on Daphne!" "THAT'S MY JOB!!" LMAO XD

[@lazyweapons]

To be honest, in the scene with smoke coming out of the mystery machine, grilling burgers wasnt on my mind....

[@cryptidrecording]

Well Nostalgia is having a breakdown

[@SoulRipper66]

Everyone needs to blow off some steam every now and then

[@cryptidrecording]

Yep, thank god he did. But man was he going down

[@SoulRipper66]

Ya, he must have bottled it for so long. These things eat your soul if you don't let them out you know

[@cryptidrecording]

Yeah, I've done that before. I started ripping drawings out of my sketchbook screaming "Horrid! Ugly! You Can't Draw!!!" I still have the pictures but god I never want to see myself do it again.

[@SoulRipper66]

A fellow artist! holy shit! I have never reached a part where I ripped any of my drawings, they are too precious to me although I did kinda open up my knuckles in frustration

[@sandrols7]

The ending with Roger was actually quite beautiful

[@TheSaberWolfDuchess]

"Well what the hell do you know, you stupid, close-minded nark?" "I'm you, ya DUMBASS." Best line. XD

[@ColonelMcboot]

There was a sequel to this. The second one was worse if I recall.

[@5000cz]

I liked it, especially when scooby punched Fred. I was laughing out loud from that scene. Sure it doesn't really homage to the original, but it was just a fun film. The second was also pretty funny too with the line. "See you later suckers.... Help me suckers" LOL

[@ColonelMcboot]

5000cz Meh, I'm not mad on it but sure, I can see the appeal!

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

meh the second was ok, velma meets another dude, she must be a playa, daphne and fred kiss...again, and theres another important life lesson in that movie

[@ColonelMcboot]

Rumplestiltskin G What is it? :-O

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Well for one "friends don't quir" from the first and in the second shaggy and scooby feel embaressed and ashamed and they learned they weren't so useless after all

[@praxis5788]

24:06 I actually thought the video had cut to a scene from a different movie for a second

[@Emeraldpickaxegaming]

2:40 The review begins.

[@ZMowlcher]

Scooby Doo: Zombie Island. By far the best Scooby Doo movie ever.

[@lordlego2568]

you know I'm surprised this breakdown didn't happen when he did son of the mask.

[@wc-8336]

I love how he made a parody of TNG "All Good Things..."

[@wc-8336]

Also 30:45-33:23 Full House Poker in a nutshell.

[@GirlyDragons]

Why does the 50-60 year old Critic have long hair if the 30 year old one doesn't have any?

[@bostontowny4life744]

When he was freaking out in the beginning all I could hear in my head was "hello darkness my old friend..."

[@jazzalex22]

Ever since Nostalgia Critic came back, his best reviews were A.I., The Master of Disguise, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Sailor Moon, The Last Airbender, Eight Crazy Nights, The Christmas Tree, and Ghost Dad. Jurassic Park, Face-Off, Catwoman, Cat in the Hat, Les Miserables, The King and I(1999), Wicker Man, Ghost Rider, and Sharknado are his worst reviews of all along with his Space Jam, Ponyo, and Good Burger reviews. Doug, please lay off the good movies and stick to what makes you the best in bad movies. Review: Blues Brothers 2000, Big Top Pee-Wee, Barney's Great Adventure, Rugrats Go Wild, Clifford, House Arrest, 40 Days and 40 Nights, Muppets Wizard of Oz, and Problem Child 1 and 2.

[@drwhygiveacrap9682]

How DARE you say Jurassic park and sharknado are his worst reviews! Go sit in the corner, and think about your life!

[@atrane365]

Drwhygiveacrap IMO, I love his Sharknado review, bc they just make soooo much fun of it, and Cinema Snob adds a bit more fun to it

[@jazzalex22]

I hated em since there were too much skits in them.

[@TheOneMillionthNerd]

meh i don't think Barney's great adventure is fair (and done to death. there's only so many times you can say something sucks before it turns into a dead horse) also it's not as bad as the ooggieloves *shivers*

[@SgtTwilight]

I love the Sharknado review, but that's probably because I love Cinema Snob videos.

[@DeadEyeMaverick]

The beginning part of this episode was just hilarious, fucking hilarious! xD

[@tobinprowant10]

I think that the fascinating part is that the younger him is still wearing a wedding ring so he's obviously still married the older him is not wearing a wedding ring so he is not married.

[@ricksinjr5543]

umm i loved this movie....why did you have to open my eyes!!!

[@ArthurGaming146]

Matrix moment.

[@ArthurGaming146]

You obviously haven't seen the Matrix then.

[@ArthurGaming146]

Shall I explain it? So you can get the joke?

[@ArthurGaming146]

I don't know what that means. Is it from a movie that I obviously haven't seen judging by this comments?

[@ArthurGaming146]

............ I don't know what to say........

[@presleyb5408]

Okay so the original Scooby Doo did rule out magic and actual ghosts, but I'm pretty sure there was an old spin off with Scooby and Shaggy trying to put a bunch of demons and ghost back in some book. And some of the movies had actual ghosts and real monsters - and who can forget Shaggy and Scooby being the unwilling teachers to an all ghouls academy for all the daughters of famous monsters? You can't exactly fault a movie for a gimmick that has actually been used and been successful in past installments. Just fault them for failing at it entirely.

[@Jarnsaxxxa]

Yeah, a lot of the old Scooby Doo movies and couple of variations of it have real monsters, Scooby Doo On Zombie Island is a really good example of it.

[@robertolanderos5308]

James gunn look him up he is the writer and you will be surprised

[@randomsmurf2294]

I hated this because it had monsters and ghosts, but I always loved the Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo and Scooby Doo and the Boo Brothers. Wow, I'm a hypocrite. But they had charm, this has...arse.

[@SonicChaocc]

The thing is, this movie is based on the original Scooby Doo cartoon, not the spinoff cartoons. Aaannddd, its not written as well. If it was, it could have been ignored easily.

[@PhoenixHealing]

Agggg my little girl loves that Ghoul School movie, though it is still not as bad as another love of her's Monster High shudder....

[@GG-oi6ue]

Critic... Are you okay?

[@sonicjrjr14]

what do ya mean?

[@fahdchoudry7763]

Was the first part his honest thoughts about Doug's life or was it just acting? He sounded like he had a bit of a breakdown. I hope he is happy now if he wasn't before

[@ProfessorCagan]

fahd s It was the Critic mostly, Doug did want to do something else (Demo Reel), but eventually came back to do more Critic. That was just a plot point to make the Critic upset.

[@Enkabard]

Cagan Riiight, just a plot point.

[@ProfessorCagan]

Was it?

[@Lucky-qy5vf]

+fahd s Reference to the last episode of Star Trek

[@kevinthepilgrim]

I think it was a look at Doug's psyche at the time. It was awkward.

[@Gary-5642]

that opening rant was LEGENDARY

[@EvanFAF]

Holy crap that rant at the beginning was amazing. NC really works hard on these things.

[@veronicabennie9521]

About the Daphne and Fred thing- there was the point when Fred was interested in looking at Daphne's body naked, but that's probably more teen hormones and sexual attraction than a real love interest. There was, however, that scene in the van introducing Scrappy. Fred's arm is around Daphne's shoulder. But, that could also be taken as a friend-friend kind of thing. Otherwise, I know a lot of gay people who like their best friends.

[@meowmasterL346]

Their friends being of the same or opposite sex?

[@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

I thought the whole point was that fred an daphne bang each other while lesbian thelma watches helps or stays out. Notice how nothing actually gets done while Scooby and Shaggy are having a chase scene with a song yet rendezvouz with them again once the scene is over.

[@LinkMarioSamus]

Okay, fun fact for all you guys: the guy who wrote the script for this disaster went on to direct, wait for it... ...dramatic buildup in 3, 2, 1... ...GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!!! And you know, I can actually see a bit of GOTG in this mess.

[@nicholasmaslennikov2128]

just curious, where do you see GOTG in Scooby Doo?

[@LinkMarioSamus]

I just feel like the humor is similar. Yet it works in GOTG while it spectacularly fails here. Who knows?

[@arbyw.1889]

LinkMarioSamus Maybe because GOTG is a comic book movie?

[@LinkMarioSamus]

That's true. Not to mention GOTG actually has a good plot. It feels like the Star Wars of our time (and I'd actually say it's better than any Star Wars movie aside from The Empire Strikes Back).

[@chaoflaka8132]

I love Guardians of the Galaxy....

[@The8BitGamer22]

That Judas line gets me every single time.

[@crempt]

He's good at raging

[@neuerehrgeiz7816]

This movie gave me one of my favorite habits though, from the scene where the two "guards" (I don't know what to call them) are up in the watchtower after the gang calls for help. If you tell a joke or say something funny, abruptly quit laughing before the other person does and just stare at them. Mmm. I don't know why, but it's just so funny to me.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Was Daphne really the damsel in distress that much? I remember it was usually Shaggy and Scooby getting into trouble.

[@lightishred8939]

Shaggy and Scooby got in trouble but usually just had to run away. Daphne on the other hand was usually kidnapped/ trapped and needed saving.

[@matthewford8977]

***** yeah but she wasn't in danger that much like Shaggy and Scooby did

[@Ncholasbloom]

***** despite being danger pron fans to this day still really like her i don't really see what makes her dislikable to some other fans though

[@Ward1706]

This was *supposed* to be the end of the Nostalgia Critic, because Doug wanted to focus on the (short-lived) Demo Reel. The main reason the Critic came back, is *NOT* because we, the fans, wanted him to come back, but because *HE* wanted the Critic to come back (OK, that may have been the plot to the review goes on, but if you haven't watched by now, clearly you're not interested in watching it). Goes to show: you shouldn't have to do something just because people want you to do it, you should do something because *you* want to do it.

[@allidoiscomment7141]

One thing that bugs me about this review is that Nostalgia Critic acts like this was the first movie to make the monsters in it real rather than guys in costumes, when there was a series of Scooby Doo movies that made the monsters real. These included an island full of zombies that was controlled by werecats, a sentient humanoid computer virus and the gang being transported into a video game.

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

All I do is comment what he really should review is Monsters Unleashed

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

"a sentient humanoid computer virus" whom I had a crush on as a kid.

[@5squiddles]

Oscar winning freak out at the beginning.... EPIC :)

[@maximumrisk2004]

I would love it if the Critic reviewed the newest Scooby movies, especially Scooby meets Kiss. You cant get more corporate sellout than that.

***** Nope, they are cartoon movies, but the Kiss one is insane. The Ghost is after the Stone of Kissteria, which is its own Dimension where the Kiss Army lives. Kiss even does Sailor Moon transformations.

[@maximumrisk2004]

***** You should watch it, its a mindfuck. I cant even count how often I went WTF?

[@maximumrisk2004]

***** I agree Scooby has done Crossovers so far and I am cool with Guest Stars. Scooby and KISS however throws the formula out the Window. The Scooby gang are "drugged" bystanders, while KISS transforms Sailor Moon style, they fly with a Ship hidden under their Themepark through a Ferriswheel into their own Dimension of Kissteria to hunt the Witch. Did I mention KISS has superpowers in the form of Rock and Roll? I wish I was making this shit up.

[@lulucool45]

+maximumrisk2004 But the animation is awesome.

[@maximumrisk2004]

digitivortex I agree, they went all out on that movie and I appreciate the effort. Still, it feels more like a weird acid trip instead of a Scooby Movie.

[@Kittymouth]

They had Velma on the ground looking for her glasses when the monsters burst in. I only noticed it though because I had to pause to go get a cough drop. There's just so much stuff going on that you can honestly lose track of the characters!

[@bfarrellmcbeth]

So… Velma is supposed to be adam west? And since when was she hotter than daphne?!?

[@jakeschill5457]

Scooby-Doo the Movie written by Guardians of the Galaxy's James Gunn. Just goes to show: you gotta go through some awkward growing pains before finding balance between witty pop culture and awful.

[@Keyfur91]

2:35 So, are we calm now, NC?

[@RealClassixX]

The "pretty sad existence"-bit... that hit home...

[@MackleNGAnimations]

if the world is doomed, then why isn't the future Doug, not dead..........but if they manage to save the world...he should come back...anyone feel the same

[@kagley]

Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuff...

[@7833ana]

I guess it's Dr. Who stuff.

[@evilfangs]

Peter Kent Doctor*. Sorry.

[@GarboTheGreat]

That's because it was a fixed point in time!

[@allanmason121]

The whole episode is a riff on the final episode of Star Trek The Next Generation right down to the poker game at the end. In the episode Q has created alternate timelines for the past and future Picards which do not necessarily follow the rules of the original timeline.

[@cornbornmike1006]

Doug, I love your content, love your points, but for god sake... stop. screaming. please.

[@BurakkuInferuno]

It's what he does especially on a movie he doesn't like at all

[@Kimwers]

Turn down your volume.

[@stwbmc98]

It wouldn't be Nostalgia Critic without the screaming.

[@vpuploads2701]

Nostalgia critic is to screaming as Angry Video Game Nerd is to profanity.

[@BlumenCT]

stwbmc98 No, it wouldn't be NC without his screaming reactions. When he rants like that and gets red-faced it's fucking embarrassing.

[@chase1146]

5 minutes in and he hasn't started the fucking review

[@deepwebted]

You should watch his new reviews....

[@LadyBatCat]

The review seems to be taking a lot of breaks for skits that would probably make sense if you watch all of his videos. And for someone who has only seen one of his videos before, this is very, very, annoying.

[@chase1146]

Lady BatCat im simply looking for a reveiw of a movie, so im guessing i should stay away from this dude then?

[@LadyBatCat]

He can be a bit of a hit and miss. If you want a serious review I probably wouldn't watch him, but I've seen a few more of his videos and some don't have so much time-wasting and can be amusing. I'd suggest watching a few of his shorter videos to test the waters. Sorry this is not very helpful!

[@joTheBonas]

chase1146 If you dont like the nostlagia critic you can still watch his Vlogs, where he is just normal :) its just a role he plays but i can understand if people dont like this outbursts of emtions :D

[@BigRabbitTooSmall]

That "sober well behaved college kids" line actually killed me

[@samurai0jordan]

Nice touch with the wedding band on the future Critic. XD

[@MrIveyIsBonkers]

"Is this it? Is this really life? No! This isn't life! This isn't even anything representing life! But it's life for me. It's pretty pathetic, but, it's all I got. I know what you're saying: 'Wow, that's pretty sad', well you know, yeah it is fucking sad. I don't get to go out and hang with friends, I don't even have any friends. I have nobody to, contribute anything to. I have nobody to, talk to and fire things off of, you know, say 'Hey, what'd you think of that? Well, I'll tell you what I think of that', no, it's just me. Bitching and moaning like I always do, and someone say 'Well, that's a pretty sad existence', well yeah it is a pretty sad existence JUST SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT SCOOBY FUCKING DOO! I MEAN FOR GOD'S SAKE, I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING! I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO MAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE BETTER, OR, OR, GO OUT AND PLAY A GAME WITH SOMEBODY! I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY A GAME WITH SOMEBODY! Wouldn't that be great? I mean, somebody's just like: 'Oh, hey, why don't you come over and play this game with us?' 'What game?' 'Parcheesi!' I don't know what the fuck people are playing, but you know what? It'd be nice! It'd be nice to be invited! I've never even gone out to a bar with somebody, hang with some friends! I've never gone to a-a strip club! Okay, I've gone to a couple strip clubs, but I've never gone with anybody! I've never been there and actually been like... Okay, not with people, but, still, You know what? It'd be nice! It'd be nice just one day to go somewhere, where somebody is just having a good time, and somebody just says out of nowhere: 'Hey, you know what? That guy was OK! Not great, but he was OK', instead of: 'Hey! Who's that little fuckshit?' WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHO THAT FUCKSHIT IS! HE'S THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC! HE REMEMBERS IT SO YOU DON'T FUCKING HAVE TO! EVEN THOUGH EVERY FUCKING DAY HE EXISTS, HE WISHES HE DIDN'T HAVE TO! HE WISHES, HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS BULLSHIT, TO MAKE YOU WATCH, AND GET YOU RATINGS! AND WHY DOES IT HAPPEN? WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK? BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING SICK AND I'M FUCKING STUPID! THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE! THERE IS NO CHANGE! THERE IS NO FUTURE! THERE IS NO PAST! THE PRESENT IS A JOKE, EVERYTHING IS HELL! MY LIFE IS HELL! THIS! IS THE WORST THING! A HUMAN BEING! COULD EVER! GO THROUGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!... So, let's start."

[@kyletitterton]

Robert Ivey Cool. I genuinely really love it when people stenographise the best bits in KZbin videos. My other favourite transcript is of Ethan of H3H3 talking about that square white chick who speaks slang, Zelda - "y'know, the heezy?"

[@TheChrisManChan]

What a nice Omage to Star Trek TNG final episode...

[@TheChrisManChan]

***** Feel like a man now? Don't be that guy...no one likes "that" guy.

[@xrisingx]

Chris Manning it was more informative than it was douchebaggery. Had he have added some insults then you could respond like that. It's more along the lines of educating the less fortunate.

[@rauth666]

Chris Manning It sticks out like a sore thumb. I saw Omage then laughed my ass off for like an hour straight. I was like, "KZbin has spell check, man. WTF?".

[@TheChrisManChan]

rauth666 Can't tell if you are joking or not...

[@VisualGourmet]

9:18 I don't know exactly about... wherever this movies takes place in, but in my country you're not allowed to graduate through more than 1-2 belt colors per year. And I think that's rather common everywhere. Presuming she didn't have at least a blue belt before... (color depends on the martial art, I'm talking about the 2nd-3rd kyu here) ... it's absolutely impossible to become a black belt in only 2 years. And even if she's allowed to become a fucking black belt in only 2 years, it's impossible to learn all the techniques of a specific martial art *properly* in that short amount of time! She may have seen them all done by her sensei and may have trained a few of them to black belt level, but in no way can she be a properly skilled black belt.

[@jigsaw117able]

anyone here who thinks the second one was better?

[@faehyacinth4827]

You're not alone there.

[@ZackExplorer28]

***** i liked it because the gang didn't want to help the citizen after they're being attacked by the monsters...even when they say they need they're help. because really...why the fuck should they?

[@jigsaw117able]

I think some of what NC talked about in this was bettered in he second one. The gang felt more like the gang.

[@VoodooRaisins]

***** It sucked, but it was better.

[@niall0208]

first one was the best

[@lulumolloy]

13:10 Zombie island also put in supernatural elements, but that was a good movie so I, for one, can overlook it.

[@lulumolloy]

***** Yeah.

[@lulumolloy]

One of the first animated ones I think.

[@disneyerapowerrangers2923]

+Lulu Molloy also what makes zombie island better then this is that zombie island managed to be darker and edgier then the show like this movie tried to do but maintained the likebility of the main characters witch this film failed at.

[@lanfloyd7131]

+Lulu Molloy That Zombie Island movie scared the sh*t out of me as a kid

[@lulumolloy]

The Critically Acclaimed Bounty Hunter Me too

[@WinterSteele]

I know that opening rant was meant as a joke, but I found parts of it sadly relatable.

[@Sonic546416]

I kind of wish the critic reviewed the sequel to this movie rather than this one itself. Don't get me wrong, I wanted this movie to be ripped a new one...oh god, it was hilarious (still is). But the sequel did a slightly better job at keeping true to the Scooby Doo Lore. It wasn't relating to a "magical" caper, it never involved scenes that went on 3 seconds long that actually HEAVILY related to the plot...but most importantly, it actually made more sense. Oh god, it made more sense...that alone made it worth watching in comparison to this. (Plus, every criticism the critic actually made was applied to the sequel, even mocking the pointless celebrity cameos...that alone was pretty fricking funny.)

[@richieford7393]

Eh, I still like it. It is flawed, very flawed, but I still get a laugh when I watch it. The same with Monsters Unleashed. The other two live action films I hate, though.

[@SwiftyStardust]

You mean the reboot? That was horrible

[@SwiftyStardust]

Yes. A straight to TV movie that rebooted the live action film series. I think it was called "Scooby Doo: The Mystery Begins".

[@nightbane2]

Scootaboom Studios Didn't they make a Scooby Doo 3? And by 3 I mean for the original series. The original live action one had a cool dvd menu.

[@DragonTroopBeta1]

You did that rant all in one take, NC? Impressive.

[@jackmehoff2217]

NC's life actually seems pretty cool to me

[@sherie2793]

Calm down, sir. Scooby Doo was my childhood treasure.

[@tanith117]

I'm a Dinosaur.

Kenneth Murphy DO NOT FORGET MY NAME

[@blankusername871]

This review had better characters (development), dialouge, and was overall more hilarous than this crap movie.

[@computerboy56]

It's even better if you know that this was supposed to be the last episode of the nostalgia critic

[@ShadeShaadent]

Give this man an Oscar, he puts more emotion into 2 minuets then most actors in there whole careers

[@Kirklord2]

19:55 can't wait to see an unedited version of this part

[@kbdemonbain]

i find it funny that in this movie velma was waaaaaaaaaaaay hotter than Daphney lol

[@monononny3974]

wow, that ending was really good. Quite some feels

[@Fletch55]

Youngest grenade fuse ever. -_-

[@robertolanderos5308]

I am so blown out of my ass that the director of guardians of the galaxy James Gunn wrote both of the films for scooby doo. Luckily he became good after slither and guardians.
