Eh, I used to like him. Now I think he's far too nitpicky, bashing every single little thing. Perhaps he's run out of truly bad movies, so he just has to find a way to bash good movies?

I guess it's just for comedy. I mean, did batman having a bat credit card make Batman and Robin THAT much worse? It was on the screen for one second, and he made fun of it for two minutes. Why? Because he made it funny

But there is a such thing as making such a big deal about a joke that it kills the funniness.

Yea, I had the occasional 'get on with it!' moments, such as the 'no,no, nono, no' moment that lasted an an entire minute during a review that I can't remember

And I've never been a fan of recurring jokes, since people who use them tend to kill them with overuse.

It's how ALL popular jokes die

And unfortunately, if a joke is funny enough, it will get repeated until it's not funny any more.

All too true. I can't deny he can be nitpicky and some of the movies he has reviewed are ones I've watched as a kid and didn't think they were that bad. But I guess I am so used to many Internet reviewers like Yahtzee with his Zero Punctuation series or the Irate Gamer being nitpicky so I hardly pay to much attention to it especially since they are giving their opinions and I don't have to truly agree with them if I don't want to. But still, that is indeed a good point.
