He spends the first 2 1/4 minutes of the review praising Wing Commander 3 and 4, but then it gets silly very fast.
Aside from the Battlefield Earth jokes, why did you think it was silly?
As for me, I didn't really like the movie, and I'm a Spoony fan in general, so I guess I did like this review. You have to admit, those spelling mistakes in the movie were kind of lame right?
I will criticize him on one thing, if you're going to make a movie about Blair's beginnings, you can't have Hamill since he's too old obviously. I do wish they could have got Tolwyn to be played by McDowell again.
And to answer one of your points CR, he doesn't really knock Pilgrims as being out of place (surprising considering that's arguably the biggest criticism people make of the movie).
And yes, I didn't like the Wing Commander movie and still consider myself a Wing Commander fan in general. I have 3/4/Prophecy Gold/Standoff and loved those games.
Personally, if they were going to make a WC movie, they should have done "Action Stations" or "End Run" or "Fleet Action". Or #3. At least that's what I would have liked.
