I am under the impression that the movie doesn't really need a big review since it has a very specific audience anyway without it's bad execution limiting itself more.
To begin with the movie is made for fans with the money from fans. The fans feature as a major part of the movie subsequently.
This is the first major flaw of the movie. You take a character who is an angry slob who can't stop playing sh#tty old games nobody cares about and you give this person "fans".
The AVGN character is not the sort of person to have friends. It's confusing in what world the Nerd exists. I can buy that the Nerd could gain fans from releasing his videos but would he care about them? Perhaps it would be better if he didn't. I can not dictate what the character should or should not do but it seems terribly inconsistent that this basement dwelling misanthrope would care about the people forcing him to play sh#tty games.
The way this was handled was a missed opportunity and that should be the tagline of the entire film. There was no Angry Video Game Nerd in the entire film as far as I am concerned. I just saw James being nice to people and being slightly confused here and there.
The second major flaw is WHO THE F##K IS COOPER!? WHO THE F##K IS COOPER!?? The final major flaw is... the script.
I can buy over-the-top and I actually really enjoy it. However, as I have said before the movie ALMOST dares to not care what anybody else thinks and does it's own thing but we are constantly pushed back into the same old cliché scenes which try to squeeze drama and emotion out of a movie too odd to be capable of it. The whole idea of an AVGN movie is strange and it should have gone for comedy and parody much more then it did.
Other flaws include the lack of any real reaction from the cast to the strange things that are happening around them, cause and effect is almost non-existent here.
This is a terrible movie. A flawed concept and a flawed execution.
The reason the series got popular does not even appear in the movie MADE BY IT'S FANS.
