Except that in a lot of cases the stuff he points out is either completely wrong or contextually false, in that case what exactly is the point as the "humor" is just based on stuff you've embellished or made up.
keep your RLM hate out of this. They're nowhere near the drivel level that CinemaSins are
CinemaSins is, literally, just pointing out flaws in films... if you don't want your film on it, don't have flaws.
It's also comedy, I'm fairly certain those guys onlt nitpick because it's funny.
I would say they're on the same spectrum as CS in terms of impacting (negatively) online discourse of popular films.
Seems like the most frivolous/harmless comedy in the world to me.

"It's just a joke and not real criticism, no one is taking it seriously"
*then links a CinemaSins video or image in another movie thread as some kind of counterargument*
"But there's some truth to their criticisms and this nitpick kinda embodies everything that's wrong with the film as a whole!"
It has an impact on creative decisions. Nothing happens in a vacuum. These videos get like 4 million views, studios are watching.
The Russo Bros admitted that they tried to Honest Trailers-proof Captain America: The Winter Soldier while they were making it.
Truer words were never chanted.
When you distill film criticism into easily shareable memes, it really does ruin discourse. There is so much more wrong with BvS than "Martha!"
Oh shit... I didn't wanna be the one to make this connection. But it's absolutely true. Plinkett reviews are just Cinemasin videos by people who can kinda string along a coherent thought.
Ok? Would you be upset if you found our Louie CK didn't really talk to a guy who was having trouble with his cell phone before telling a story about it in his act? I guess I just don't understand the criticism here. Seems like the most frivolous/harmless comedy in the world to me.
So you disagree with his ghostbusters review? Just curious. The RLM guys have their issues but to lump them in with cinema sins seems way excessive to me. Admittedly I haven't seen any of their recent movie review vids in a bit but overall I enjoy their stuff and have never gotten that kinda vibe from it, I've also disagreed with them on stuff at times.
Cinemasins are fine. Then again, I'm not easily triggered by some dumb YouTube vids.
I'm laughing at the idea of a cinema sins of something like twin peaks season 3
Technically not in this case, as they wait for the movie to be released on Home video.Bobby's right. Film criticism's being destroyed by people that can't just sit down and watch a fucking movie. Everyone wants to be first to tear down whatever.

Sure. I think Ghostbusters is fine. It's not great. It's not as good as the original. But, it's fine. Not that I think the problem is the fact that they dislike Ghostbusters. I don't care about that. David Ehrlich, one of my favorite critics, dislikes Ghostbusters. I think the idea of spending an hour tearing apart Ghostbusters a year after any and all conversation has died down, so that you can reignite the passions of a toxic fanbase and reap the rewards through ad rev is a bigger problem. It's, like CinemaSins, really just cynical lowest common denominator criticism. They're just better at presenting it.

Yeah I'm not sure I'm cool with people trying to backdoor RLM bash

Why does everybody just assume that they made the Ghostbusters review just to reignite the toxic fanbase and reap rewards for it?
the actual review did nothing outside of praising the actresses while blaming the writing and direction of the movie's flaws.
Oh so it sounded like something I wrote then

Did you watch the video?
If I had I wouldn't be asking
There were over a dozen pages on the Plinkett anouncement of people going the sexism angle, and the actual review did nothing outside of praising the actresses while blaming the writing and direction of the movies flaws. What do you think? People like to think up narratives to make sure they are always right.

Kong deserves to be ripped apart, not a good film. Decent at best.
Am not a fan of how CinemaSins constantly shits all over every film. There's no such thing as a perfect movie.
