In my opinion, they don't need to really explain what keeps the Baron and his Daughter alive. Frankenstein, the original book, doesn't explain how Victor brings the creature to life, and that's still regarded as a classic.
Chris but they did, it was in the eel extractions. He said those eels could live for hundreds of years and thats why those drops are helping him, his daughter, and the faculty live for so long
Chris But didn't the lack of explanation in Frankenstein make sense, story-wise? As Frankenstein didn't explain the creation of the monster in order to prevent others from creating another one?
frankenstein have much better plot and story?And frankenstein inspire the entire science fiction jondra which mean it was the first(maybe iam not sure) of it kind.The fact that the original book didnt explain how the creature been brought back to life dont make it any less of it stand on the foundation of today literature because at the time science was a new field and honestly at the time even if she did explain it most people would have not understand it nor like it because science was not at close to normal life as today and the scientific gimmick did not exist . People cant understand when u talk about science and fill it with imagination like today and she was lacking knowledge to truly write a method that sound convincing when we are 200 years apart. In this movie, i think to have in long and boring and dont even bother explain the science behind it or at least some proper excuses after 2 hours of scene time is stupid, they literally have all the time in the world to do it. I mean this movie revolve around the idea and constantly remind u of it with the experiments and the end it give you a poor explanation and a mediocre plot.The movie dont die without it but they miss some what a opportunity with the explain.
Just Ruta meh there is something about that show after a long day of work i dunno the over the top sillyness where they live in the most boring place making an adventure out of it meh thats just me though ur taste might be different
I am *90.99%* sure I've either read or watched a Hentai with this exact plot before. Just replace the eels with Tentacle Demon monsters and the old folks with younger more sexy people. The main character even gets beat up in the end of the story if memory serves.
I think the explanation was there, about the serum stuff. So the water in the aquifer has "special" properties that allows for the eels to live for so long, but the water itself makes people sick. So what they have to do it make the people drink the water so that their bodies will process it and they sweat out the more or less impurities from it which I guess is what's in the water that allows for the eels and therefore the baron and whatnot to live forever. I think the lines from the movie were "these eels live 50 years everywhere else in the world, but here they live up to 200" and then something about the water making people sick but using the eels and the old people, they harness its properties
the life-giving drops come from the fact that the bodies of the patients sweat out "processed aquifer eel essence" supposedly. The patients were pumped full of eels by beer funnel and then placed in tube-like machines which made the people sweat aggressively hence the dehydration the patients were encountering despite drinking a shit ton of water at the mountain resort
My roommate and I just saw it and we thought it was really good. I would suggest seeing it with someone else, and continue having high hopes. If you can talk it over with a friend, the plot points make a lot of sense
It's actually a better movie than Charlie gives it credit for (IMO). I don't agree with his opinion that things didn't make sense because the movie had explanations behind the science of all of it and had some elements to the movie that were clever, but I won't get into the literary jargon. Either way, the film feels very much like a modern art meets classic romance in its aesthetic (both on set and the cinematography). It's a unique experience watching and it seems like judging from the comments that it's a very polarizing film. You should watch it for yourself to make a decision.
it's interesting he compares the movie to bioshock, because Gore Verbinski was actually supposed to direct a bioshock movie that never took off, so this was sort of his own version.
I saw a trailer that told me this movie would suprise me like no other movie has and my immediate thought was "No fucking way." Thanks for validating me, Cr1t.
If we're going with spoilers, the method in which the doctor gets the blue-vial liquid that is their "vitamins," is by filtering the water, with the eels in it, through the human body. I would assume that the people in the "iron lung" machines are peeing while that multiple-gallon jug dumps water down their throat. That excreted liquid is the filtered ground-water that is non-toxic to the human body. When its non-toxic, its regenerative properties allow for immortality. That was fairly clear in watching it, in my opinion. There could be a surprise twist nobody noticed. How did he get his teeth back? If he didn't have his teeth during the fight with the baron, how does he have them on the bike ride down the hill? He is either insane, or not.
the way he got his immortality was by the water of the place. he said that he needed to filter it correctly. human kidneys were the filter. connect the dots
OH MY GOD I LOVE FANCY SKINCARE!!! YOU MIGHT LIKE LXMI!!!!!! I'M EXCITED BECAUSE I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO NAMEDROP A BRAND I'VE BEEN DROOLING OVER FOR A WHILE
Hey Charlie, I was wondering if you have seen the movie Split? Me and my friends saw it and thought the first half was great, but the second half the movie just gave up on the moderately scientifically plausible. Anyway, I'd love to see you give a moisture rating to the movie.
I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with your sentiment on the fact that the plot makes no sense... it might be confusing and you might have to think about deeply and put some of the pieces together yourself.... but the plot at the least mostly makes sense..... to say it makes no sense is being a bit disingenuous... if anybody here wants to check out a different perspective and little more fairer review of this film. Check out the spoiler free review on my channel. The film definitely has its flaws but it's no where near as "convoluted" as you're making it out to be
I just saw this movie, and I've gotta say I loved it. No disrespect for Cr1tikal because his opinion is totally valid, but I suggest checking it out for yourself if you're interested. You may be pleasantly surprised.
The explanation as to how they've lived for 200 years is briefly given during the transfusion scene. The baron tells the main dude that the water has restorative/health properties that are allowing the eels to live up to 300 years (normal lifespan is 15). But he says that since human physiology is much different from the eels, they have to filter the water through the old people's urinary system essentially. What they drink in the blue vials is that filtered water/pee. The movie doesn't do a great job of explaining, but it IS briefly explained.
2:35 "And then all of a sudden a bunch of eels come out" WHAT. HOW. "The doctor that's supposed to be keeping an eye on him is masturbating to a nurse that has her tittles out" That can't be in the movie...that's too silly. "I'm not making that up; that's an actual scene in the movie" For real?! Pfft, Cr1tikal complains about the masturbation being fake; of course. xD
My hands crack and bleed in the winter. Get yourself some udder cream or working hands, udder cream has this nice cool feel to it while the working hands might sting every once in a while. Both are top notch in my opinion though. I highly recommend them both but if you have very sensitive skin like myself then you're better off with the udder cream.
Yeah I watched itt yesterday. I liked that it was original and looked good. Oddly enough I liked some of the weirdness of it. Like the incestual bloodline thing. It's different is all. But the baron the kid was just in plain sight. I was more involved in the other mysteries of the movie. I'd give it a Jergens.
I somehow avoided any and all spoilers for this movie and literally all I know about it is now from this video. I could not pick a better source for movie summaries
When I first saw the trailer I thought it was about a real thing that happened were the guests at a resort were very slowly getting beaten (they called it massage) and starved to death and secretly disposed of during the night and I got kinda dissapointed when I found out it wasn't
Christian Erickson Why comment? No one is going to care, *especially* since this is 3 years old and the most recent comment excluding yours was 7 months ago. Just go watch it.
I personally liked the movie. It was predictable, I don't deny that, but it was also visually great and definitely not boring. I don't think it was very difficult to follow and the plot holes weren't bad enough to disturb the viewing experience
Is anyone else astounded by his extensive knowledge of obscure moisturizers?
Not if you're European and have foreskin
Ya don't need foreskin to not need lotion to jerk off. (One of the worst sentences I've ever made)
He just said that he gets dry hands. Also hand cream shouldn't be used for jacking off, you should buy actual lube for that.
+E-S. Mantsik and friction can lead to dry hands
He did go to college. Don't insult him
I would love to see Cr1tikal direct a movie.
I would even pay to watch it
Varinder Bhandal Did you see the matrix?
JordiTK the dialogue would be quotable as fuck!
I thought he directed that movie about the snails... what was it called? Oh yeah...
_Turbo_
dray max I smell an Oscar...

Frankenstein's creation was obviously brought to life by lightning and tesla coils duuuuuh.
Chris didn't he just use lightning
who else wishes cartoon network brought back flapjack
Not me.
Personally I thought flapjack as a character was annoying as hell, and the setting is very grim and boring. Stormalong is very dull and empty setting.
Yondo flapjack was my SHIT
Just Ruta meh there is something about that show after a long day of work i dunno the over the top sillyness where they live in the most boring place making an adventure out of it meh thats just me though ur taste might be different
Yondo you got some good points. Now that I think about it, flapjack and bubby were some of the very few cheerful characters on the show.
you were really good in John Wick 2
no subscribe ?
no subscribe, what does that mean?
subscribe no?
black & white he is implying that critical resembles Keanu reeves
Voodoo king and the spooky kids oh lol, thanks
looks fucking spookie
Gay
It's less spooky and more icky pooey.
I am *90.99%* sure I've either read or watched a Hentai with this exact plot before.
Just replace the eels with Tentacle Demon monsters and the old folks with younger more sexy people.
The main character even gets beat up in the end of the story if memory serves.
BroPool41 I think i've seen it before. wish i knew what it was
If you ever find out the name, please tell us. The society of hentai scholars is always looking for more hentai.
You mean the main character even gets knocked up right?
I think La Blu Girl, but I'm not sure.
lastoflancas Anyone want to confirm this?
got a cure for wellness ad on the video...
LamaOfHellfire LIT FAM 😂🔥😂🔥😂🔥😂🔥😂
black & white yeah👏lol👏exde👏 😤😤😂😂👌👌💯💯💯
LamaOfHellfire ex Dr I don't have emojis
Furious_Penguin I dont have a soul
It's funny because the ad I had before this review was the "A Cure for Wellness" trailer.
The CGI deer looked so terrible.
VeryUnfriendlySpoon i agree. it stuck out like a sore thumb. could've definitely had the crash happen without the use of cgi deer.
you better eat your vegetables or Gore Verbinski is gonna knock on your door and direct a mediocre movie
I'd love to see cr1tikal narrate a film.
"i liked the movie, it was spoopy" ~spang rob 2017
Haven't watched your videos in years and yet you still make me laugh uncontrollably
If you watch John Wick 2 I guarantee full moisture throughout the movie. Still moist from watching it yesterday.

Hey Charlie! See if you can get Robbaz on your podcast!
Robbaz would love it I bet. He's been a fan of Charlie since forever
I. Would. Die.
Super Glue Enema That would be beautiful
YESSSSSSSSS
Robbaz is one of my favourite TH-camrs

The patients were pumped full of eels by beer funnel and then placed in tube-like machines which made the people sweat aggressively hence the dehydration the patients were encountering despite drinking a shit ton of water at the mountain resort
It's less horror and more disturbing
Owh man, I had high hopes for this movie.
Ayie Al-Hameed me2

If Cr1tiKal directs a movie, he better voice EVERY CHARACTER
This man is truly the rarest of rare. Always delivering comedy effortlessly and originally
I think all movie reviewers should review movies on how cool the directors name is
it's interesting he compares the movie to bioshock, because Gore Verbinski was actually supposed to direct a bioshock movie that never took off, so this was sort of his own version.
When I saw the ads for this I thought it was an X-Men spinoff.
I won't lie, I've got a soft spot for movies that take place in asylums/sanitariums. Especially horror/thrillers. I might see if I dunno
It's interesting to watch but it's predictable.
Acceptable moisture levels. Approved.
Your moisture reviews make me moist
I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the theme of this channel
"like Bioshock but the plot was so convoluted"
Isn't that a bit redundant?
Marcus Feria uh go replay bioshock.
always fun getting a trailer for the movie when clicking on the review
I saw a trailer that told me this movie would suprise me like no other movie has and my immediate thought was "No fucking way."
Thanks for validating me, Cr1t.

I just paused replaying bioshock to watch this then I read the description...

hahahaha "He gave his fingers a big old sniff'
but it isn't original. it's based on a 19th century book.
Moisture ratings are a reason to live
if I owned a magazine company, I'd hire Charlie to be my movie reviewer however he wants to make it.
Under a minute crew representing.

every time you say Baron I keep thinking of the Baron of hell from Doom . _.
fucking nerds
ME TOO!!!

You should do a review with Chris Stuckmann
Don't know if it'll work. Stuckmann actually liked the movie.
Виктор Перфилов I know, but for further reviews
I love your reviews
omg i was thinking of going to the cinema to see this movie today and critikal makes a video :O
I just saw this movie, and I've gotta say I loved it. No disrespect for Cr1tikal because his opinion is totally valid, but I suggest checking it out for yourself if you're interested. You may be pleasantly surprised.
First time I saw the trailer I couldn't help but think of shutter island. Thanks for the review. Glad I chose to see Logan instead.

That can't be in the movie...that's too silly.
"I'm not making that up; that's an actual scene in the movie"
For real?!
Pfft, Cr1tikal complains about the masturbation being fake; of course. xD
I love it how he explains the plot with zero fucks given "he goes to some Castile" XD
My hands crack and bleed in the winter. Get yourself some udder cream or working hands, udder cream has this nice cool feel to it while the working hands might sting every once in a while.

haa an ad for the movie played at the beginning of this
Please review the bye bye man
Wearing a tin foil hat can increase reception on your phone by 75%
I somehow avoided any and all spoilers for this movie and literally all I know about it is now from this video. I could not pick a better source for movie summaries
Can you review the cinema classic "MacGruber"
the moisture is strong with this one
It's time for CRITICAL's CRITICAL CRITQUE!!!!!
I LOVED this movie! Great review man
I was extremely confused for a second because I thought I had clicked on one of Ralph's videos.
Cr1tikal doing a movie review? Interesting.
Original? Have you seen Shutter Island?
I watched this movie last night and I can just say it is a TRIP
30 comments... video posted 4 minutes ago, 8 minute video...
Yeah, people are dumb.
Damn ur early af !
"In bechtween." -CR1TKAL
". . . just for the love of the sport" lmao
Saw an ad for this movie before this video
I just looked up the movie, and Charlie's not kidding. Its run time is 2 hours and 26 minutes!
the last 20 minutes were over the top lmao
I want all my future DVD commentary done by Cr1tikal
Baroness is a hell of a band
I love the way he pronounces "Crème de la Mer"
I got the ad for this movie before this video
I cant say the acting was all that great, at least for some of the characters.
nice video to wake up to.
Your the boss Charlie, I was excited for this movie but I dunno Ill wait i guess
Theevan commentary when, Cr1tikal?
10/10 would watch again.
We are a dedicated group of people, stay moist.
When I first saw the trailer I thought it was about a real thing that happened were the guests at a resort were very slowly getting beaten (they called it massage) and starved to death and secretly disposed of during the night and I got kinda dissapointed when I found out it wasn't
Make a review of Circle (2015)
This movies preview looked like shit thanks for reviewing it
moist
im early. Does cr1t1kal reply?
I really want to see this movie
I haven’t seen it but it looks amazing. Even though the reviews are terrible, I’m still very intrigued.
...this is from literally 3 years ago
BrandonJustPlays Δ and. I still wanna see it
Christian Erickson
Why comment? No one is going to care, *especially* since this is 3 years old and the most recent comment excluding yours was 7 months ago. Just go watch it.
BrandonJustPlays Δ can you let me live my fucking life?
BrandonJustPlays Δ I don’t care that no one is going to care dickhead.
not 100% original, almost like shutter island
Andrew Martinez honestly i saw it out of hopes that it would be similar to, and possibly better than shutter island and i was severely disappointed
Disco Kitten McFirepenguin seriously? that's kinda the only reason why I plan to watch it
It's more like a shitty reskin of Shutter Island
I dont know. I thought it would be a Shutter Island reskin before I saw it. It isnt. They can't really be compared.
Got any podcasts cooking up??
More moisture reviews pls
cr1tikal blessed us with videos like this and tana mongooses still has 1 million more subscribers.
what the heck.
Woulda done it for the love of the sport
I love moisture reviews
Those punk girls left a Mac lipstick in the bathroom. So rich
I love moisture ratings by Cr1tikal, they are perfectly apt
I personally liked the movie. It was predictable, I don't deny that, but it was also visually great and definitely not boring. I don't think it was very difficult to follow and the plot holes weren't bad enough to disturb the viewing experience
Honestly I thought the story grew more and more interesting as it went on. But I felt the length of it after awhile.
