I love James Rolfe, but not the AVGN movie.
Here it is my sincere opinion on what went wrong with the AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd - James Rolfe) 2014 movie.
Also, how it could have being great.

My thoughts on what it was (from my review on IMDB):
I like the Angry Video Game Nerd a lot, his reviews are very funny. So, it pains me to say: this is one of the worst movies I ever saw in my life, and certainly one of the worst comedies. It is almost embarrassing and ridiculous. It could be so much more if it was a little less: less effects, less over the top crazy action and less cheese scenes. It could be a sincere, down to earth comedy about a nerdy gamer that becomes a celebrity, but, instead, it is a crazy mess about aliens and some esoteric side plot about a ancient robot god or something.
I really do not think it is a matter of budget, the story is really really bad and unfunny, embarrassing really. It could be like CLERKS, with no budget whatsoever and be great, it is a really bad movie, for any budget. And 350k is a big budget for him, it is really not a matter of money. They should had someone honest to read the script, I guess all his friends were afraid of saying how bad the whole thing really was. Such a shame. What a sad movie.
My thoughts on what it should have being:
- Use Mike Matei, Kyle Justin, Bootsy, Ryan, the AVGN staff.
- Do it like Ed Wood or Clerks, or even Wayne´s World, a down to earth zero to hero history about being a nerd and getting unexpected fame and fortune.
Here is my script for a AVGN movie reboot:
