it wasn't as bad as the "Pearl Harbor" review where the whole Michael Bay sketch took up more of the episode than the riffing of the actual movie itself. I prefer my reviews straight to the point without obnoxious story arcs. :P
That was kind of the point of the skits, though - it was basically a shameless, violent parody of what Pearl Harbor actually WAS. Just a bunch of useless filler that totally detracts from anything of meaning or worth but takes up most of the screentime.
Yeah, it's not for everyone, but you can't claim it didn't prove his point in a strange sort of way. Ironically, the part that I liked least about it was the point where he pretty clearly breaks character and is not the Nostalgia Critic, is not acting any given role, but is instead just Doug and is very, very upset about what this movie portrays. You can kind of tell because he looks about two seconds away from bursting a blood vessel. You can't really FAKE that.

That kind of hurt a bit.
