The short(2 and a half min) review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoCxZS-1lZU

I recorded this last night right after having watched the movie, and processed it this morning. I hope you enjoy it, and that I can help spark debate about the film.

I recommend you, if at all interested in such, watch footage from what I am reviewing in another tab, as this video does not feature any, and in general isn't all that visual. And yes, I realize I am being neurotically over-cautious of Fair Use.

This is made up of pure one-takers, so occasionally, I misspeak or begin a sentence without ending it.

In preparation for this video, I read reviews and the like of this on sites like MetaCritic, ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, Wiki, IMDb, GameFAQs, wikia and/or RottenTomatoes; if I restate(and/or comment on, as I may disagree with it) something someone else has said, I don't mean to pass it off as something I thought up, myself. I don't claim to come up with all the criticisms and points I make. The reason I paraphrase what others have said is that I want these videos to cover the whole subject(movie, game, etc.), not only things that I thought of myself.

As usual, any and all feedback is very welcome.
