Sad thing is seeing comments of people after seeing the videos such as: "I didn't realise before how flawed the prequels are" etc.

He didn't change my opinion, but he did inform it.

Not to mention, particularly if the movie is dull, you tend to forget details about movies you don't like. The Phantom Menace came out the same year as The Thirteenth Floor. I saw both, thought both were incredibly tedious, promptly forgot most of them, and never saw them again. So both were crap movies seen once over a decade ago. Why should I be able to deconstruct them myself to demonstrate their flaws so many years later?

I can barely remember who was even in The Thirteenth Floor or what the plot was. The only reason I remember more about The Phantom Menace is because of the neverending merchandising blitz, and hanging around Star Wars forums. If it wasn't for OT.com, I wouldn't have even remembered that Yoda was in The Phantom Menace, let alone a creepy puppet.

But if some guy made a funny video explaining exactly what was horrible about The Thirteenth Floor, I might see it, because I know it was bad but no longer remember precisely how bad. Worked for Showgirls. And Showgirls was better than The Phantom Menace.

And FWIW, I thought the RLM review was pretty hit-and-miss. I didn't watch it again either.
