Steve-O:
iDon't know about you, but iHaven't got the time to sift through dozens and dozens of comments pages and individual threads to find out which iRiffs are top quality.  Hence this thread, which iHope will become your one-stop shop for capsule reviews of iRiffs.  (And now iWill stop with the iStuff before iGet shot.)

Each time you take a chance on a new iRiff, do us all a favor and drop in here to let everyone know what you thought.  A couple of sentences will probably suffice, though you're welcome to write a more comprehensive review if you like.

Be honest (but not brutal -- remember, iRiffers are just geeks like you and me) and this will become a useful resource for finding new iRiffs that are worth your time and money -- not to mention directing some new traffic to the tracks that really deserve it.

Darth Geek:
Good idea for a new topic.

I just watched Blame Society: Star Wars IV. Overall, very good. In fact, I think it was a much better use of Chad Vader than in Rifftrax's Episode II.

Riff Raff Theater: Tron. Excellent. Very funny throughout, reminded me of the nice riffing groove they had on Harry Potter.

Emergency Riffcast System: Super Mario Brothers. Not very good. A few good lines (OPRAH SMASH! being my favorite), but quite a few dud riffs, and LOTS of dead air. Personally, I'm of the quantity is very important school of thought on this. Because quality is more dependent on who is writing, and the time taken. Given there are no deadlines for these iRiffs, there is no excuse.

I plan on seeing D U N E next and Street Fighter (hopefully that one is better than the sample). I will report back afterward.

RoninFox:
So far of the new iRiffs I've seen Scrivener's Wrath of Khan (that I'd seen about a year ago I think) and it was very funny, and in fact it was one of the riffs that convinced me that fan riffs could be funny and thus was partly responsible for me making my own.

Also watched Hor-Riff-Ic's Friday the 13th riff, and as I posted on their comments page it made the purchase of the movie worthwhile, and thats a big deal since I could never stand that style of horror movie.  Lots of good laughs.

Rattrap007:
I watched

Ronin's ST: TMP - Very good but the movie drags major ass. But it is a good riff and he has me sold on future riffs

Hor-riff-ic's Friday 13th - Great job. Sold on future riffs.

Tron - I only got to watch half of it because apparently my dvd copy is crap and glitched out shortly after the tank takes out the bridge. But what I heard was good. Most likely will buy more.

Later I'm going to watch the old Gamera film riff.

RoninFox:
Just finished Blame Society's Star Wars IV riff.  Had a very slow start, a lot of the jokes hit and miss (though Chad Vader's stuff was usually pretty solid.)  It saw some definite improvement by the time Obi Wan showed up in the movie.  (BTW, awesome Alec Guinness impression.)

It was good, and I get the feeling they could get better.  I'll take a look at their next release for sure.
