The reviews of the Star Wars prequels made by an independent film studio named Red Letter Media are very interesting, funny, and informative all at the same time. In these reviews, a man named Mike Stoklasa plays a serial killer named Harry S. Plinkett, and in these reviews he explains how mediocre the Star Wars prequels are, and at the same putting having a sub plot about the people he is murdering in his basement.
If you want an example on how to make a good movie and write a good cohesive story without going to film school then here it is. During theses reviews Plinkett explains how to make a character that the audience can understand, and he explains that certain plot elements should be explained to the audience in order for them to understand. He even talks about things like overuse of special effects, how the audience can feel tension when watching a scene in a movie, the difference between paying homage and straight up ripping off other movies, racial diversity in Star Wars, how the Star Wars Prequels aren't kid friendly like how George Lucas wants people to believe, and how George Lucas is a shallow and emotionless business man. These reviews can really help aspiring film makers learn how to make a good movie for the masses to see, and it can help other people view movies in a different way.
There are a lot of jokes in these reviews as well. His most famous joke was the pizza roll joke. I said that very same joke about pizza rolls one time in my English class when I was in grade 10, and mostly everyone kept on saying that joke and wouldn't be quiet about it. Another one of his famous jokes included a scene where he saw an alien in the Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace review and said, "What is wrong with your face?"
These reviews are very long, but Mike Stoklasa does a fantastic job at keeping a steady pace, so that way his viewers never get bored. First, he'll get into a step by step analysis on what is wrong with the Star Wars Prequels, then he'll break it up with some comedy, and he'll also try to combine the step by step analysis with comedy. The way Mike handles his videos totally justifies the length of these videos.
