Review of Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (2014) by Dylan D — 01 May 2015

Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie proves that Internet success doesn't begin and end with a URL. James Rolfe has taken his web stardom and done something special: make a movie out of it. While nobody's going to roll out the red carpet for it come awards season, this is a monumental accomplishment for Rolfe and something of which he should be enormously proud.

Though the film is pretty bad by most standards, it's a charming little slice of nerd-vana that makes the most of the tools at its disposal, which aren't many and which are primarily vision and determination.

It's fun yet nonsensical, special yet ridiculous, a film that the core audience will probably love and most others will dismiss out-of-hand. And that's perfectly fine. The movie is made for its audience and plays to it, and more power to Rolfe and his crew for knowing what the film should be and who it will reach.
