Nostalgia Critic Reviews We're Back!

pokeplayer984 · **on:** August 13, 2009, 01:17:00 AM

One Dinosaur Movie we tend to talk about from time to time is We're Back! A Dinosaur Story. A number of us enjoyed watching this movie for several different reason. However, if there is one person who hates it, it's Doug Walker, aka The Nostalgic Critic. In fact, he hates it to the point where he decides to review it as someone completely different, because reviewing it as himself clearly doesn't do justice for him having to be put through what he sees as a horrible movie.

So, why does he hate it so? Well, to find out, you'll have to watch his video found here: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolink.../10470-wereback

Enjoy!

Kinda funny. Atleast he mentioned LBT.

I saw this when it came out in theaters. Nc refered to it as LBt on drugs, and in a way it is.. its not a very good movie, for one , how the professor mmanagesd to travel back in time, is merely one of the many things where you have to suspend belief ibn this film. Dinosaur in modern times really wouldn't work, for one, having a bad and cheesy song sung by John Goodman is another reason he dislikes it.

Not a masterpiece, but a better Bluth/Spielberg movie.

Man, I hadn't seen this movie in forever, and NC is right. This was a terrifying acid trip of prehistoric proportions, and one of Spielberg's worst films to date. I loved the review, though. (We can't stop here! This's bat country!)

Am I the only one here who actually likes this movie :blink:? I find it unsettling that he even says "LBT on drugs" <_<. I've never been too fond of film critics anyway

That is likely his feelings about the movie. Not everyone can like the same stuff. You can give him the finger and go on liking what you like.

He's not dissing LBT. LBT is the "good" standard he's rating We're Back! against. We should be glad for the call-out, since he's got hundreds of viewers.

I discovered this guy about a week ago, and I'm addicted to his reviews now. Yeah, a lot of the stuff he reviews, like Space Jam, Fern Gully, Good Burger, were movies I loved, and still do. Same reason I love Land Before Time and Star Trek parodies, you can enjoy the parody while still supporting the subject material.

We're Back was really kooky to say the least. The cool tidbit I like is Steven Speilberg was animated into the film. You can see him when the parade finishes and the people start running from the dinosaurs. Other than that, mmm...not much to write home about. Even Horner's score isn't that spectacular. Lots of filler.

I have never seen this film, but I do want to see it. This critic is doing a good job of making not want to see it though.

Still, I think I will give this film a shot when I have the time and when I am done with my Dark Shadows craze.

Man I agree with NC I didn't know what I was watching and when he says the film is LBT on drugs he is right the film's ending revealed how bad the film really is:

Screweyes is a screw meaning: screw We're Back A Dinosaur's Story as it had nothing good in store.

Land Before Time on crystal meth? Oh well. I never liked this movie anyway.

Well, you've got a point there. Looks like I took it the wrong way

. I guess what he said gives a more positive view on LBT. Still, I do happen to like this movie. Then again, that's my random and wacky sense of humor for ya

I actually didn't realize that was John Goodman, but I always thought Rex's voice sounded familiar. I actually remember liking this movie a lot when I was younger. I guess some people find this a little too goofy to be good.

Bluth wasn't involved in this picture. Only Spielberg. Ironically, Spielberg made this because he felt guilty about making a dinosaur film like Jurassic Park which he deemed to terrifying for kids. Also ironic, I found We're Back more frightening as a child than Jurassic Park. Of course, I was also more frightened by the surreal than straightfoward violence as a child.

Kor · **Reply #15 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:38:02 PM

From the clips in the review it does have some what could be frightening moments. If he wanted to do a dinosaur film that wasn't frightening, why not something like one of the Dinotopia books?

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2009, 05:24:07 PM

Did Dinotopia exist back in 1990-92 when the film was going through production?

tempestwheel · **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:10:57 PM

I liked the return of "BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!"

Kor · **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:20:57 PM

It seems the author started writing in the 1990, his first dinotopia book came out in 1992, but in 1988 he was painting what would later be parts of dinotopia, like waterfall city (1988) Dinosaur Parade (1989). No idea if he wrote anything in short stories, or describing the world or such to describe what his paintings were of. Or so the info I can find online says from doing quick research.

Though there is no reason Spielberg could not have come up with the idea of humans and dinos living together in some sort of fantasy world on his own.

I think you're giving Spielberg's creativity too much credit.
