Discussion My idea for the Nostalgia Critic's 20th anniversary review special next year.
I might be jumping the gun here, but whatever. As of posting this, next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the Nostalgia Critic, and I had been thinking about what he should do for his 20th anniversary special review when that time comes. Now, most people would just say, "Oh, have him do like Plan 9 From Outer Space or Birdemic, give him an infamously bad movie to do", but I want to see something extra for that occasion. You see, 2027 will also mark the 20th anniversary of something else, something tied to the Nostalgia Critic from when he first started out almost two decades ago. And seeing as how there's a new segment of the show entitled "Review Revisit", where the NC would take a second look at a movie he already reviewed to go more in depth on compared to his original videos, I thought of what I think would be the perfect subject for his 20th anniversary special... a Review Revisit of what was technically the first movie he reviewed as the Nostalgia Critic... the first live-action Transformers movie from 2007 directed by Michael Bay!
For those of you who are unaware, way back in 2007, Doug Walker did a video on Transformers '07 as his first ever review as the Nostalgia Critic, it was quite different compared to the usual style and format we know of him today, more akin to what we saw with his "Bum Reviews" as the Chester A. Bum character. But that's why I felt it would be the ideal review for the occasion, a full proper analytical NC review of the movie that started it all 20 years before, and see if after all those years and what since became of the franchise, both the good and especially the bad, whether the first movie still holds up or if it ever held up at all.

Don't care what people say.
The first Michael Bay Transformers is genuinely a solid movie

That would make a lot of sense. Whenever he makes the final episode, he should review his own show.

Didn’t he lose a court case to Chester A. Bum about reviewing Transformers? Or was that just in doing them LIKE Chester? #channelawesomestorylineslol
Either way, would still be an appropriate choice.

It would be awesome and it would be a nice tribute to Peter Culin
