Here is a link to a very funny review of Avatar 20 minutes long, in case Blue didn't want to link it.

The guy acts and talks like he is a mentally challenged psychopath who kidnaps women, ties them up in his basement (and he does this if you click on the 70 minute review of Phantom Menace, where he eviscerates Lucas at every level).

Yet the guy is clearly very talented director or film student, becasue his critiques are precisely and professionally focused, pretty damn funny too.
