Well it's been a while but I'm finally finishing this review. So part six is, obviously the conclusion to the Kickassia saga, and it is a damn good one involving some great action and comedy.
We start off with one of the funniest parts of the saga, Nostalgia Critic singing "Three little maids" he is interrupted by Angry Joe shooting at him, naturally he runs away right into Paw, Marzgurl, LordKat and Sage, who charge him, naturally he runs away, this time into JewWario, Phelous and Film Brain, this time there's no running. This is a really good opener but considering the buildup of the plan it wasn't really more than, attack Nostalgia Critic from all fronts which is a bit of a let down.
Nostalgia Critic is then confronted by everyone, including Cinema Snob and Spoony, who got better after being Insano. Just before everyone attacks him Ask That Guy appears, and hilariously just wants to make his cameo, so the Critic gets beat up. At this point the Nostalgia Chick comes out and states that she is now president, but Linkara and Cinema Snob have similar ideas. They don't get to fight it out though because the Critic threatens to blow everyone up, the Snob however says he's already gotten rid of the dynamite, the critic is saved from another beating when a gigantic cop-out appears, I mean Santa Christ. Now Santa christ getting everyone, besides the Critic, to see the error of their ways isn't too bad it is still very similar to how last year ended and just feels rushed, though to be fair it was rushed and it was supposed to go for longer.
The saga ends with Kevin Baugh getting his country back and the narrator listing a bunch of movie lines before being shot.
Now this isn't a bad episode but it does have it's problems, the two main ones I've mentioned but there's also that the Nostalgia Chick's plot really never went anywhere, though it was hlarious and frankly humour makes up plot in comedies. My overall thoughts will come at a later date when I've watched them all back to back.

Kickassia part 5 review
Okay so Dr Insano Vs The Nostalgia Critic, that's basically what this part boils down to, well that and the death of Santa Christ and as cameos of everyone who couldn't participate in the takeover.
Not really much to review here, the fight was awesome and hhilarious and i really can't say enough about, serriously they went all out with the fight, Film Brain and Nostalgia Chick's litlle parts were hilarious and awesome as well but neither could detract anything from the awesome that was insano versus Critic and there is not enough praise I can put onto this fight. So I won't say anything but go watch it and enjoy the massive hamminess and incredibly narmish special effects taht somehow make it even more awesome than it should be.
As for Santa Christ, well really it was filler to get in cameos of all the other contributors so there's nothing to really comment on, though the final joke was great.
Now the ending, where Linkara finally got to take charge and lead the army, after they thought they were playing Risk and an obligatory cameo from James Rolfe, while we don't get to hear his plan, or really see much of his military persona it is obvious that part 6 is going to be EPIC. And yes that deserves the all caps.

Kickassia part 4 review
So we finally get some plot from this episode, mainly revolving around how everyone but Film Brain is sick of how NC is treating everybody, well actually it's the fact he has dynamite ready to blow at a moments notice if he's threatened, which is announced in a brilliant scene mainly due to Cinema Snob's reactions to The Critic. Also we find out there is another sane member of the army, namely Cinema Snob, he joins Linakara and Phelous as the only sane members, though Nostalgia Chick is also very intelligent.
Speaking of the chick her Sarah Palin impression is brilliant, and her trying to kill the critic despite everything is hilarious. But enough about her let's talk about the main character of this part, Cinema Snob, now I haven't seen any of this guy's videos but I'm beginning to think I need to, this guy is one of the few people not being completely over the top in his acting, the other two being LordKat who hasn't done anything and Paw who seems to take everything in stride. But Cinema Snob is different he actually seem to be completely serious throughout it all, which turns his banishment from a potential tear jerker to crowning moment of funny.
Then there's Linkara who gets about five lines and yet manages to be hilarious, his reason for believing he can lead a charge against The Critic "I've seen Patton over a hundred times" remember, he's one of the sane ones. Oh once again I must mention Jew Wario, two lines in the whole thing and both were hilarious.
I shouldn't finish the review without talking about the ending, where Spoony is finally forced to change into Dr. Insano, thanks to Angry Joe being insane, or high, and thinking it's the only way to stop the critic, though as there's two parts left I'm sure it won't work. Well Spoony was obviously being over the top but it was awesome, and even slightly scary in how it was done, you actually got the feeling that it's a bad thing for this to be happening.
I alos should say that Film Brain's talk with the Nostalgia Critic was great, "I got a little carried with the second half but the first half is all true."

Kickassia part 3 review
Okay so I'm reviewing this after watching it a couple of hours ago, so I might forget some stuff. Now before I start the review allow me to say Nostalgia Chick was HOT! Now that I've got that, slightly disturbing, sentence out of the way lets begin the review.
SO once again we have a part where not much happens, not to worry because it's hilarious, and everyone's gets a shot at being hilarious, well except Handsome Tom but it's funny because he's being picked on. Marzgurl is an awesome drill sergeant, getting the men into action by punching them when they make mistakes, like being too tall. Angry Joe is brilliantly insane and Sage is one scary ass Doctor, though that's more because he's Sage than anything to do with being a doctor. It's really great in something like this that everyone gets a chance to shine, and everyone seems to be having such fun with everything.
The acting in this is so over the top it's awesome, Nostalgia Critic spends most of the episode being a deliberate Large Ham and he's only beaten by Spoony who is easily one of the best parts of the series "That... was in the past." There's also the non-over the top acting, it's not a lot but it's there, like Phelous' annoyance at The Critic, his facial expressions are hilarious but not because they're bad.
Oh and Jew Wario and Marzgurl are still two of my favourites for this whole thing, both have done very little so far but Jew Wario has had great comedic timing and Marzgurl has been brilliant both in her 'death scene' and as one of the worst drill sergeants ever.

Kickassia part 2 review
Okay so I just watched part 2 and I want to say it's awesome.
Most of the characters have gotten time to shine but naturally some have been scene-stealers, the most obvious being Spoony who looks to be having a great time hamming it up since he's doing even when he's just in the background. Linkara and Nostalgia Chick have also been great, Linkara's overreaction to Marzgurl's 'death' was absolutely brilliant, and Nostalgia Chick just seems to be incredibly bored by the whole thing, which is hilarious. That being said even those two have been overshadowed by the delightfully snarky Phelous, the sole voice of sanity in the group, and Angry Joe, who is completely insane.
That's not to say that the others don't have their moments, Marzgurl's reaction to Linkara's reaction is just as funny, Benzaie's goodbye to Bearie was actually pretty touching, well until he exploded and it became hilarious, and Jew Wario has done exactly four things and all of them have either been hilarious or awesome. Hell even Kevin Baugh got a CMoA during this part.
Now you might ask what I though of the plot, well there wasn't really much of one this time around, it was just the TGWTG team attacking Molassia. Some highlights include the Bum cameo, Kevin Baugh setting off his landmines with an iPod app, an almost literal insurmountable waist high fence and a completely over the top opening scene.
Now was it as good as the no, but the first had the advantage of going on for almost double the length that this one did. There ws one thing that confused me though, why was Nostalgia Chick drinking Fosters? Nobody drinks Fosters, it's like a joke beer, we give it to the tourists they spit it out then we give them the real beer.

Kickassia part 1 review
Okay so low internet be damn the awesome dragged me in and I decided to watch part one of Kickassia, I will not be able to watch the other parts until the 21st though. First let me say this is awesome, like one of the most awesome things I've ever seen, and while I say that about a lot of things this deserves it.
Okay first things first, the plot, well Nostalgia critic wants to take over a country and brings in various members of That guy with the glasses.com to help. That's really all there is right now.
The characters, now this is where it gets awesome, all characters are featured well, well most but I've read that all will get adequate screen time. Naturally some seem to steal the spotlight, Spoony and Linkara are the obvious two but Phelous is also great due to his genre savviness. One of the best parts is at the beginning when NC calls everyone and says "it's time" nobody knows what this means and most act confused, though Spoony tells him the time, then Linkara tells him the time and says that Spoony's is probably more accurate.
Now after calling everyone up they all gather in one hotel room and have a discussion about why there taking over Molassia, including a great part where Linkara's arguments are shot down by being called a nazi, seconds before NC compares them to nazis. They decide to attack the place.
Then the president of Molassia is seen talking to himself about the potential invasion. It's hilarious.
Cut to the group power walking into Molassia, followed shortly by charging at the president, who eventually pulls a gun and they all run scared, again it's hilarious. They get back dejected and almost leave, but Phelous suggests using weapons, which the Critic shoots down, they should use weapons. We then have what is easily THE single most awesome lock and load montage ever featuring all of the group, the best is probably Cinema Snob's, he takes off his glasses spins 360 degrees and then puts his glasses back on.
Oh and while this is going on there's some subplot with The Chick acting bored and Spoony possibly going back to being Insano.
If I were to sum up the first part I have but one word, awesome.

Kikcassia, AKA Awesome incarnate
On the That Guy With The Glasses website they recently released a trailer for the second year aniversary. From this trailer alone I can tell this will be the single most awesome thing to ever grace the internet. Now you may be asking why, well obviously you haven't seen it, it starts off with The Nostalgia Critic talking about a micronation, and how he wants to take it over. We then have a variety of scenes showing all of the characters, most of them being awesome and those that aren't, and even some that are, are hilarious.
Now why am I reviewing a trailer you may ask, well firstly it is that awesome and secondly to alert my reader that I will be reviewing each of the six parts after I've seen them, and a seventh one reviewing the series.
Oh and here's a link to the trailer. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/video-updates/21528-two-year-anniversary-trailer-kickassia
