We've done something similar at a start-up I was at. Well, it was between start-up and whatever is next with around 30 devs by this time. The idea was to encourage people to not just rubber stamp reviews.

One missing thing is to check out the branch when you are reviewing (if the code bases isn't tattooed in your brain).

Yes. You must checkout the branch and examine it in your IDE. Otherwise you can't do several of the checklist items like check for inspection errors, run the tests, etc..
