Top 5 Reviews That I Would Like To Rethink

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

I was looking through all of my posts and found that I have written more than 30 reviews (excluding video game reviews and book reviews). Am I happy with them? Or have I changed my opinion some?
I feel that in my reviews, I want to have enough to say, as far as how great or sucky a movie/show was. So, since this is my blog... and no other critic has done this before... I'm thinking of re-reviewing some of these Top 5 that I'm going to give to you today. Why? Because...
1. No other critic has done this before.
2. That would a great opportunity to finalize my opinions.
3. I feel that I'm older and wiser than before.

So, welcome to the Top 5 Reviews that I might re-review. So let's get started!

5. The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole

For those of you that have followed my blog series, this review was my second review ever. But with that said, I didn't tackle it enough. For the most part, it was too wordy. Maybe if I went straight to the point on things, then it would've been a stronger review.

4. LarryBoy and the Fib from Outer Space

For this review, I felt like I had two problems: the visuals and the jokes. I need more relevant pics from this movie to illustrate some of my biggest opinions on this movie. Plus, I have to satirize some of the content more, if I want to playful make fun of a video that I like.

3. Dr. Blowhole's Revenge

My first review ever... it was a hit, but then again, a miss. I guess it was too wordy on the first try. Plus, I need to have audiences come back for more with priceless humor and satire.

2. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A Veggietales Movie

Now, this was the first review in Whatsoever Critic history that I had ever gotten a complaint about, saying that I was too harsh on the movie. Plus, I felt like I didn't put enough effort into the review. So, to right my wrongs, I will look at this movie again.

1. LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed

This review is, by far, one of the most forgettable reviews that I have done for LarryBoy.
-I know, shame on me. Sorry.
But not to worry! I'll make sure that this mistake never happens again, by re-reviewing this movie first... as soon as I'm done with The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole. Why? It's been 3 years since the Nickelodeon premiere of The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole.

"The Quest"- Catching Up on Four Episodes

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Ever since school started for me this past August, there was a lot of homework involved. That meant that I had to wait until this past Thursday to catch up on The Quest.

-Thank God for ABC.com for catching me up to speed on the show.
Now, the show only has two episodes left until season one is over. So, how am I with what happened so far on the show? Well...

Pros:
1. Christian was finally booted off the competition at some point. (I didn't think he was one of the best players, anyways.)
2. The woman (I don't know her name) that was secretly praying for Bonnie to leave the competition... gets booted off herself.
3. There's more suspense and action. (There's also a dragon involved. SPOILERS, if you haven't seen the show yet!)

Cons:
1. Bonnie, one of my favorite players on the show, is eliminated in last week's episode!!! WTF! That wasn't right! The show should've kept her longer! That was so unfair!
2. There's only two episodes left for season one of this show... which means after this show is over, I won't have anything to watch on Thursdays (or would I, IDK).

So that was my consensus of four episodes combined into one for this week. I know this was brief, but you can't blame school.

Nitpicking... DR. BLOWHOLE'S BRAND NEW PLAN

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

And welcome to my first segment of "Nitpicking..."

Today, we're going to be looking at the song "Brand New Plan" from the Penguins of Madagascar TV movie, The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole.

There's no doubt that this was one of the best performances done by Neil Patrick Harris (which most people take for granted by not acknowledging enough that it exists!). Plus, you can tell that this musical number was done really well.
HOWEVER...
Some people may still have questions about the "plan" that was showcased in that song.
-Well, sure, because this movie is what, 45 minutes to an hour(?) I know, the movie should've been longer, I think...
So, sit back and enjoy what's going to be 100% questioning. This is Nitpicking... Dr. Blowhole's "Brand New Plan."

1. Dr. Blowhole says that the birth of the mutant iPod from the Diaboligizer incident was an "...unforeseen complication." 

Didn't he kinda know what to expect when he accidentally blasted Julien's iPod with the Diaboligizer?

-Dr. Blowhole knew what the Diaboligizer was capable of. In fact, there was a scene where Dr. Blowhole tests the Diaboligizer on a rabbit.

2. Dr. Blowhole plans to control the mutant iPod by singing.

Won't that lead to a sore throat?

3. How would Blowhole turn off this monster when you're not using it?

4. Blowhole's initial plan (at the beginning of the movie... well, in the first half of the movie) was to turn the penguins into monsters... 

Is that idea out the window?

5. If he's in control of the mutant iPod, what's to stop the Penguins from still coming after Dr. Blowhole and fighting him?


6. While we're on the subject, what's to stop any of the humans from calling for reinforcements when they're not in range of the mutant iPod's power?

-What about surveillance cameras in the city?
-What if this catches the attention of the media?

7. We've waited until the 2nd half to get to the musical part of the movie. Why not come up with this "plan" sooner?

-The movie could've been a musical!!!
-Was everything else just counterproductive to waiting to take over the world?

8. If the monster can make people sing...

why doesn't Dr. Blowhole make the monster make people sing to his will?

-His "plan" is like a revolving door!!!

And that was "Nitpicking..."

New Segment on Whatsoever Critic: "Nitpicking..."

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

In continuation with what to do, now that I'm no longer following a show until next season... I decided to do some nitpicking on whatever I've reviewed in the past or haven't touched yet. Because seriously, you can't help but look at the little things. And plus, you can have big conversations with your friends when you nitpick something.
My first "Nitpicking..." post will be posted soon. I'll be sure to keep y'all posted.
