(The shortened opening)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. We all know about movies that are so bad, they're good.

(Cut to a montage of posters of the following: The Happening, Birdemic: Shock and Terror, The Room, Troll 2, and Sharknado)

NC (vo): Your Happenings, your Birdemics, your Rooms. It seems everybody has a film that is so incredibly awful that they can't help but laugh at it, making it enjoyably good.

NC: But this got me thinking: if it can work so well one way, why can't it work so well another way? Can a film be so good that it's bad?

(Cut to a shot of a roll of film)

NC (vo): How would that be possible? What does it even mean?

(Cut to a shot of a fancy dish consisting of bacon-wrapped shrimp, zucchini, and sushi, garnished with a lime on top)

NC (vo): You don't have an incredible meal and say it's so delicious it tastes awful. So how could this work for film?

(Cut to a shot of a movie projector)

NC (vo): How can a movie have so many positive things that it could ultimately equal something negative?

NC: I didn't really know which examples to pick, seeing how this was kind of a different idea, so I decided to look at films that everybody seemed to love, but just never seemed to grab me.

(Cut to a montage of clips of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Cinema Paradiso)

NC (vo): Not bad, by any means, but something about them just didn't move me like I think they were meant to.
