Mega 64 regularly does some great work but this video is absolutely a game of the year candidate. Skewering the review system and the crap dissenting voices often receive, I give this parody movie trailer a solid 10 out of 10.

WTF?!?!
THE PRODUCTION VALUES ARE CLEARLY SHIT!!!
THE ACTING IS WOEFUL!!
THE PROTAGONIST IS UNINTERESTING AND FAILS TO DRAW YOU IN!!
THE STORY IS LACKING ALMOST ENTIRELY!!
THAT SCENE WITH THE EWOK MADE NO SENSE!!!
MARK GOT PAID OFF!!!
IT SHOULD BE AT THE VERY BEST A 9/10!!!

Monday, November 14, 2011 at 9:50 AMBit harsh to deduct an entire point. I’d give it a 9.2
ps. This trailer was funny, even though my computer always seems to have trouble with video that isn’t from Youtube. :P

Thank you so much for posting this, Mark. My day is made from this alone – and I just did a relatively easy VCE exam. :P

Monday, November 14, 2011 at 1:13 PMWas absolutely terrible. Do not watch this. 7/10.
Otherwise, this was both hilarious and true at the same time. :D

Monday, November 14, 2011 at 1:30 PMARGH – My review copy is late (can’t watch this at work) must be a conspiracy to stop real journalists from seeing the finished product in time for deadlines.
