Featured reviews
On a technical level, the film is well shot and paced perfectly. Hats off the the production team, you guys did an amazing Job!
But I want to review this from the viewpoint of my wife , my wife only knew what I had mentioned from early memories of many years of entertainment juxtaposed with what she saw of the abomination and or g4bortion and hate filled relaunch.
The documentary gave her a glimpse of what the show actually had to offer back in the day, just pure fun and entertainment, she loved the doc, it made her understand why the relaunch was such a disappointment and what made the old show so missed by so many.
Make movies and tv for audiences and entertainment not for ESG points
Great job Mr Gore.
Chris Gore has managed to achieve what I thought was unattainable, he's made an amazing film/documentary about G4 and their flagship show Attack of the Doc. In my opinion it's completely unbiased and shows just why we all loved the show so much.
Of course the chemistry between Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn helped sell that show, the fact they were up for anything just allowed the show to be as zany and crazy as the fans could hope for.
I'll say it again, with this film Chris Gore has managed to create something that hits all the fans of those heady G4 days right in the feels. We loved that show.
One of the most interesting things this doc shows is how TV and then the Internet changed how fans could get together and talk about the things they love...for better or for worse. I still have a lot of nostalgia for the mid 2000's when I was growing up and this doc seemed to transport me back.
Attack of the Doc! Delivered on what I expected of it an more which is why I think it deserves 10/10. For a documentary, it was well produced and edited together.
As far as I am concerned, this movie is a buy!
