An entertaining review

Hooray for more Gundam 00!  Here's an excerpt from a review that was really fun to read.  (Thanks, Carl!)

"Gundam 00 doesn't rectify its shortcomings in this, the final leg of its first season, so much as it steamrolls them with brute narrative force. It's still populated by a platoon of unlikeable ciphers, its emotional engagement still never engages, and its dialogue continues to stink like a wet skunk ("I am Gundam!"). And yet, by the time this set comes crashing to a close, all of that is about as relevant as cavalry in a nuclear war."
The next sentence is even funnier.  I love reading hilarious, passionate reviews.  Be sure to check it out, especially if you don't like Gundam

Do you think part of a reviewer's job is to make the review itself entertaining?
