According to Doug Walker when he was interviewed on Double Toasted Interviews it was that he wanted his review to be experimental just like the movie itself was.
Misaimed Fandom: The most common accusations towards this review was that people felt like Doug Walker was missing the point entirely with the movie depicting Roger Waters's life, he was intentionally insulting Waters, and he made a mockery of the movie itself and didn't like it. This backlash was so immense that some of his most vocal critics have and continue to use it as their main argument against the entire Nostalgia Critic series, if not the "angry reviewer" format as a whole. The outrage from fans of the movie/album, combined with confusion from non-fans, resulted in a staggering amount of dislikes on the video, negative for even his most divisive reviews note disregarding those that came out during the height of the Channel Awesome PR nightmare. Not made better by the fact that many don't feel that it's actually being reviewed until a few seconds towards the very end. On the video as well as the subreddits, many find the review cringey and totally missing the point of the album as well as insulting to Roger Waters's autobiographical aspects. He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: While some defend the review, many (especially fans of the original album) do not. Ensemble Dark Horse: While the review has become notorious in all the wrong ways, the Satellite City cast's appearance and song generally stole the show and were found to be much better than the rest, if generally weird and perhaps out of place. Its more fun to watch Lucy Lacemaker grope Critic while he looks grossed out when you know shes a Psycho Lesbian who likes to behead then snuggle. Continuity Lockout: In a crossover-related sense, the appearance of the Satellite City cast at the climax drew a lot of confused "wut" reactions from people wondering why Doug was suddenly plunged into a surreal landscape with bizarre CGI creatures. Broken Base: Is "The Trial" segment, which features a crossover with Satellite City, a beautifully animated addition and the best part (or, according to some, the only good part) of the review, or is it a complete mess that comes out of nowhere and only makes things more confusing? To most, this will come down to their familiarity with Fennah's work and whether they find the character designs appealing or not. But this being made into a musical, with a companion album that Doug sold on the side for real money, with Corey Taylor, and Fennah's animation makes the project utterly bizarre as it highlights how much importance the project had for Doug which only further contrasts how weak his criticism of the film is. Were it just Doug having a bunch of bad takes and missing the point of The Wall it probably wouldn't have drawn as much attention. A repeated mention is because of how much effort Doug Walker put into such an ill designed review. Bile Fascination: Some people have sought this out specifically because word of mouth got out about just how bad it was.
