No major plot details are revealed, but some details may be too much information for fans who have not seen it yet.
I have heard some crazy film ideas in the past, and aside from the Sims movie they thankfully never made there was no doubt this topped the list. How do you make a 2 hour movie based on a character like the angry video game nerd? Well now the movie is out online for the world to see and despite my last comments I was seriously hyped to see this. And there is no doubt that they succeeded.
I discovered the original web series I think it was back in 2008, some guys I knew back at University were goofing off in the classroom and showed me several reviews in the process. I don't remember which ones they were but I was hooked immediately.
And so years of waiting with the only kind of release date being "in this life time" the AVGN movie is here. And while it has it's no doubt intentional flaws, it is so freaking awesome that I don't even care. The movie expands further on the character and shows a whole other side to him that you could have never got in the online series. James Rolfe had compared his vision for this to the Wayne's World movies and here it works.
Here truly is a 2 hour movie about the Nerd we know and love on his own adventure and not just entirely a game review. There is a proper review as we would expect (and plenty reviews of fictional games) but for the most part I never really gave it much thought until towards the end of the film when you start to think it's coming. (The review itself was actually refreshing new way of looking at the "worst game of all time.) But a lot of the humour that you associate with the series was still there, its not as gross out as you come to expect but there is more heart to it and I felt that was something that kept the movie engaging.
So if you are a fan of the web series and you could not make it to the screenings, then what are you waiting for?
