Incidentally, they posted one of those subtitled Hitler videos today, where they had Hitler shouting out criticisms that have been lobbied at Walker's series. Yep, he just compared anybody who dares to criticize his videos to the Leader of the Third Reich. Though, I will admit it was somewhat amusing.
Finished watching his Hitler subtitle video, and I thought it wasn't bad. I noticed he knocks his own work a bit (Bum Review) but I didn't really notice his comparing his critics to Hitler... until Estefan pointed it out. Now I'm offended... If I could actually see the video in that particular line of thinking. I'm not sure if he was bashing his critics and calling them Nazis, but I'm not sure he wasn't. No judgment on that level from me, I just thought it was amusing as well.

Speaking of which, I felt the Battlefield Earth Nostalgia Critic actually felt like the earlier episodes (bar Spoony cameo and an "Alvin and the Chipmunks"-type rant that ran too long).
"You have to be ReeeEEEEEEEeeealy Angry"
"ReeeeeeEEEEEEEEly Angry?"
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeely Angry!!"
"REEEEEEEEEEE-"
"REEEEEEEEEEEEE-"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-"

Oh wait, no. Don't forget the usual "WTFMOVIEREVIEWBREAKTODOSOMERANDOMBITOFFORCEDHUMOR" moment. This time it's in the form of the Critic pelting himself repeatedly with a hammer until he "likes space ships. duh huh huh huh...

Mainly, I appreciated he actually explained throughout the course of the video why he disliked the film rather than just dubbing over John Travolta and then doing a short, profane-laced rant at the end.
I agree that he was (slightly) more grounded this time around and focused on the faults of the movie more than usual, which made it a wittier review than his more recent reviews.
Overall, a step in the right direction.
Mixed feelings about Spoony's cameo (so damned many cameos....). I can like a 'guest star' character parody, and for the most part Spoony nailed Travolta's character on the head, which does accentuate the fault of the performance. The cigarette bit was foreseeable, but still pretty funny. My only problem was that one bit with "ReeeEEEEEEEeeeeeeally angry!" that grew to the annoyance level of a "Whassaaaaaaaap!" Budweiser commercial very very quickly.
