The guy that made this video is the definition of the dude who gets mad at everything for no reason lol. I don’t even watch cinemasins anymore, but I think they’re obviously not a “serious” channel. And he criticized them for including an ad of a wine brand with bad reviews and said they’re “scamming”.
He almost seems like he’s becoming the exact thing he was criticizing.
@@duffal0Any RUclipsr that shills products or companies of questionable quality rightly deserves criticism.
Anyway, he was pointing out the hypocrisy of putting a long 60+ second ad in front of the video and then getting mad when a movie puts in the logos for the people that worked on it at the start of the movie. The pot calling the kettle black.
But who cares, CinemaSins content isn't worth splitting hairs over.
@@duffal0 you seem like you didn’t watch the video at all
I used to think cinema sins was supposed to be satirical, but the fact that they can't take criticism themselves makes me think otherwise
I also used to assume they're obviously satirical, and would probably jump to their defense when challenged about it. But it didn't take me long to realize their "satire" is pretty inconsistent and only apply under arbitrary conditions.

@@Celeste__ch. - No, that's literally their point; they say CinemaSins are toxic hecklers actively harming the community. lol, it's so delusional.
Except they do criticize themselves
You have literally reminded me why I stopped watching CinemaSins all those years ago. It was fun when I watched something I had no intentions of watching, but when ever it was a movie that I had watched and enjoyed. I would always go, "wait, that wasn't even the point of that scene." It made me feel like they weren't even watching the movies.
Thats a pretty good point, I quite enjoyed watching their content as somene that disliked watching movies.
Having started to watch movies and then going to watch their take on it always left a bad taste afterwards.
I wouldn’t even have to watch the movie, just someone Elise’s take and I’d realise how bad his takes where.
It just pissed me off for them to sin random stuff that isn’t bad in the slightest. A reference? Sin. A joke? Sin. A line from a background character? Sin.
yes. thats the joke
Same here. It was funny until I realized how bad their critiques were. This important foreshadowing? Sin because it's not relevant. Oh it came up later? We'll ignore that
"How did they get up there? They aren't batman"
Confirmed: CinemaSins has never heard of ladders, climbing, ropes, suction cups, or vertical elevation in general.
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know how to jump and assumed nobody else could either
It’s also complicated, detailed architecture. Or as I like to say, it’s covered in handholds.
cinema sins is like the guy who shows up to a party uninvited then says that the party sucks
underrated comment
And, given time he will elaborate how music sucks, people are weirdos, and he does not like the food.
And then complains how no one understands him and that it's their fault.
Thats... actually accurate.
Or the guy who like's to be sarcastic about everything, even though he doesn't realize he has social and financial problems in his life. Oh that and being single.
CinemaSins are not critics, they’re hecklers. Nothing more.
No, they're assholes. Their words, not mine

“Hermione is not old enough to be hot yet”
- CinemaSins
Very gross.
I feel like that's a kind of logical statement, I don't really see how that's as bad as most of their issues
@@themustardman219 Why would you point something like that in the first place? Who needs to hear that?
like those women who are like ‘he’s going to be a little heartbreaker’ or ‘save him for me’
The fact that CS stans thought that was you in the car, and were trashing what 'you' were saying in the car segments, is the funniest thing to ever come out of CS's entire existence. Not only can they not recognize the voice of their favorite video hack, they're literally *trashing Jeremy to protect Jeremy.* 😂😂😂😂😂
Also speaks volumes to the media literacy of CS fans. It was very clear from context who that was in the car (or if you missed it the first time, it was explicitly clear when that rant video was brought up again later).
Who would have thought that CS fans, of all people, would not pay attention to what they're watching, misinterpret it, and then make fun of it based on that mistaken understanding?
@@coriander_sun The answer to your last question is cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias.
And they were also calling him old and crap like that. Super funny, especially since they admit they didn't even bother to watch it.
I just hate how literal they take everything, as if symbolism doesn’t exist
That’s the point of their comedy. They are purposely talking everything literally to make it funny. They don’t care about symbols.

Cinemawins is a far superior channel. The guy goes through the movies and lists a lot of positive stuff about the movie, telling anekdotes about his own life or stuff the actors said about the scene, he manages to make even the worst movie kind of bearable by showing that despite it not being the best movie you can still find positive aspects in it.
There is something so emotionally honest about seeing the good in even bad movies, a complete inverse to Jeremy and his clown posse. Cinemawins is amazing
The only good thing CinemaSins has done is forcing CinemaWins into creation. That is it. 😂
And on top of that, Cinemawins isn't blindly praising them.
He will genuinely talk about what is weak, questionable or even controversial about the movies, while still trying to get the most out of them.
Makes you feel good like hanging out with great people.
He also talks about general themes and even ties in music, making you think about the movie on a much deeper level and seeing the many connections you don't see on your first (and maybe only) watch of that movie
Cinemawins is awesome!
The fact that people didn't realize the person on the car was Jeremy is one of the funniest things I've ever heard
Funnier than any “joke”Cinemasins has in their videos.
what the hell is a dim mak? death touch!
most uncomfortable “joke” from them for me was when they kept saying “hermonie isn’t old enough to be hot yet” every time they started talking abt a harry potter movie where hermonie was still a child. and then they said something abt how “she’s still not old enough to be hot yet but she’s getting there” like dude what
thats so gross wtf
And even in the last movie, cannonically she's still supposed to be 17. by all accounts the character is still a teenager 💀💀
I think (I hope) it was making fun of all the nasty creeps years ago who literally made countdown calendars/clocks to when Emma Watson would turn 18. But if you didn't know that was a thing and that those creeps (hopefully) are the punchline, then the joke comes off even creepier.
@@LandelRey film age irrelevant only real age matters we all know she's not 17
@@bensbikex510 well in the film she's is acting like a teenager, so you can simp for emma watson all you want, but simping for a character that behave like a teenager is weird man
I think that the most ironic thing about CinemaSins is how often they harp on exposition dumps but then still CONSTANTLY beg for exposition and explanation for things that couldn't matter less.
His Harry Potter videos are full of shit like that. He spends all of the videos complaining about how the magic system doesn't make sense and "why don't the characters just do X, Y, and Z" when the answers to all of his questions are in the fucking books.
And the asshole has the GALL to put a "The Books Don't Matter" banner over a franchise of movies that were LITERALLY MADE FOR FANS OF THE BOOKS!
Yeah i can't watch it anymore because of how dumb AF Jeremy is with understanding plot points and pretending things aren't explained well
I'm confused.... Has the bloke who runs CinemaSins outright confessed that what he says is totally serious?
Because of he hasn't and this is everyone over analysing his content, you people gotta lighten up.
Do people actually believe that what he is doing is completely serious???
@@NinjaBanana1 "iTs aLl JoKeS"
God, do you cinemasins fans have any other defense. You obviously didn't even watch the whole video too since your comment has little to do with his criticism of cinemasins here.
.@@NinjaBanana1 CinemaWins is run by a totally different guy. They have no relation besides the name.
A little note on the guy flipping of Weasel, James Gunn confirmed that Weasel is actually innocent, he was actually arrested of the child killings because he's a giant weasel so everyone just assumed it was him.
That being said, the guy flipping him off didn't know that so the point still stands
Also, did Jeremy really say that Javelin, real name Gunter Braun, a former German Olympian, played by a German Actor, who speaks with a German accent...is British?
i mean, that line at least sounded more british than anything. british enough to fool someone i guess. (maybe he lives/lived there for a time)
I'd always taken the flipping off scene a different way. I thought he placed money on Weasel and lost the bet when he died first and was flipping him off for that reason.
@@GamergaidenXthat's what I also thought!
It's called "comedy"
Emphasis on the quotation marks, as "comedy" on the cinemasins writing writing team is a questionable word to use at best.
Weasel is the best character in the whole movie confirmed.
I'll never forget when I was a cinemasins fan and I just saw Spiderman Homecoming with my family, and as we were leaving, I dropping some epic Cinamasins esque "Criticism" about the movie. Seeing the look in my family's eyes, how they were just annoyed about what I was doing, and when my mom asked "Did you even like the movie?" I realized I did like the movie, and all my epic "Jokes/Criticisms" were preventing me from liking the movie as much as I could've. I felt so bad, and realized how many movies I saw that I could've liked, but being a Cinemasins fan, I was just looking for nitpicks and stuff that didn't matter rather than actually watching and engaging with the film
while i didn’t experience those exact scenarios, i relate heavily ! my dad is the kind of dude who watches any film under the sun because he hasn’t seen it yet, or because ‘you never know’. he’s seen so many objectively bad movies and cartoons but his analysis is always the same of ‘it was alright’ because in his mind the entertainment is more valuable than the quality of the film and oftentimes his standards don’t exclude most of your standard well-criticized film mishaps. he is the extreme opposite end of the spectrum to cinema sins, and a younger me, who delighted in finding things i could nitpick because i was painfully trying to exert some intelligence. the truth is you enjoy things marginally more when you just shut off your nasty brain and take in the possible on-screen chaos in stride. (maybe not the case for *really* good films you really want to dig into.) i rewatch the same films and shows dozens of times so maybe i was just more opposed to opening up my preferences not a cinemasins fan, fortunately. just wanted to add my experience.
That's the whole point of cinemasins. They say as much in their first "everything wrong with cinemasins" video. They arn't movie critics, their just jerks with time on their hands nitpicking movies. If you want real movie reviews they arn't the channel to watch for that. If you want maybe a few laughs at best and to hear a guy drone on about nitpicks in a movie than ya they are the channel to watch. The guy has valid criticisms of CS but even he knows that CS understands that, they keep on doing what they do becuase of audience engagement and money. Which I mean I can't blame em, they have an audience and they make money giving that audience what they want, and that audience doesn't want real movie reviews when they watch CS they want nitpicks.
Same here
They critizing some of my favourite movie and it really triggered me when they just yapping about mundane stuff
It really ruining my experience
I had a similar regret. Talking and enjoying movies can be a nice bonding moment between you and your parents. Critiquing a movie can be fun, but only critiquing it can feel like your putting them down for their taste. That’s on me for being a dumb teenager still learning social boundaries and not Cinemasins. It’s more fun to build up another persons interest than breaking a movie down
I used to follow CinemaSins because in the very beginning, it was mostly poking at fun little production mistakes or goofs ("The makeup director forgot to draw the Harry Potter scar on the baby", or "This newspaper article is actually about baking soda shortages", that sort of thing), but over time, it became more about tearing movies apart, reaching harder and harder for things to criticise, until they were blatantly ignoring context to demand the context they ignored.
Exactly, it began to feel very mean spirited after a point
Thank you for putting it into words, I remember this too. Eventually the videos weren't very funny and then I found myself subconsciously nitpicking in the style and I hated how it took some enjoyment out of my ability to watch movies. Over time I've recovered but damn it sucked.
@@JeY_kI recommend watching cinema wins. They actually make good and lighthearted jokes.
Cinemasins is satirical
@BenjaminDover-qm8bv I'm guessing the joke of deleting videos that were criticized somehow flew over our heads?
If people say that you criticizing CinemaSins = jealousy for a bigger channel, then by the same logic, CinemaSins is deeply jealous of all movie producers.
Exactly, CS fanboys or defenders fail to apply their logic to CinemaSins
I mean not to lend credence to the former but given Jeremy's unironic and outright hatred for the film industry, it sounds like he is big angy he never got a shot in Hollywood, given he believes he can do better
@@Jo_youwhatmate He can't lol he sux.
In the same way, you could also argue that people criticizing bobvids are also jealous due to bobvidz (usually) having the bigger channel
Responding to criticism by saying, “The haters are just jealous,” has long been one of the strongest defenses against introspection and self-improvement. It’s right up there with saying “Don’t judge me” when given advice or criticism without any actual judgment.
Fun fact: just checked their channel and the video from a day ago (Everything Wrong With Garfield: The Movie) has an ad for BetterHelp… possibly the worst sponsor on RUclips, they’re still scamming their audience.
I stopped watching CinemaSins many years ago, and I remember it was because they ruined my mentality on watching movies.
It got to the point I'd be at the movie theater watching a new movie and in my head, I'd be "dinging" away at any flaws I could find. I stopped watching movies to enjoy movies and started watching movies to point out their flaws.
It's a shitty way to experience media and its unfortunate these guys do that for a living.
me to!! I felt like I couldn't enjoy movies anymore because everything felt like it was some sort of error
Me too! The internet changed my view on movies by telling me which ones were supposed to be bad and good but I realized it doesn’t matter and if I enjoy the movie it’s a good movie to me. I had fun watching the Cats movie and Wish (even though I can see where they went wrong)
"This movie has no character arcs"
"The worst tragedy I have ever faced was back on the streets of--"
"SKIP!"
There can’t be character arcs if they skip all of them
that back to back makes be think it’s bait, but still.
or, alternatively...
"This movie has no character arcs"
"The worst tragedy I have ever faced was-"
"Wow, generic tragic backstory! NEXT!"
@@crazziemonkke there was over 40 sins between the two. if it's intended to be bait then they've failed so spectacularly that it's gone full circle and have gone back to bad writing
@@bugjams I remember when he did _Order of the Phoenix_ and was like, “Oh, boo hoo, these characters and their tragic backstories!”
The only good thing CinemaSins ever did was get CinemaWins to be created as a response
This is so true!
Absolutely!!
Cinemawins is a good fucking channel, Lee's gotten me to watch so many movies with his positivity :)
Definitely 😂
It feels good to appreciate the thought and effort put into movies, even bad movies. It gave me new eyes to see some movies I didn't like and give me more to like about good movies.
Speaking of the common denominator between Harley and Black Widow and all the other creepy predator jokes... They always make sure to point out that "Hermione isn't old enough to be hot yet" in their Harry Potter videos (even adding "but not much longer tho" when she turns like 15 or so to add on to the creep factor)
he literally sins every single movie for having logos at the beginning, which if they didn't they could get sued and just half the sins aren't actually sins
this perfectly replicates the experience of watching a movie with your "edgy" friend who's too afraid to emotionally engage with anything
LITERALLY shit hurts my feelings
Damn I remember being "that guy" at the movies when I was younger and into Cinima Sins.
From my experience, most people like that want to feel smart.

@@chonchjohnch that's a good point that i didn't consider. thanks for sharing that
I like to notice all the nitpicky things. I like being able to watch a TV show or movie and identify "these two things were shot on different days" or "there's the boom mic" etc.
I like being able to identify plot holes, or predict where something is going based wholly on trope knowledge. There's a sort of nerdy glee to it. These things aren't reasons not to watch a movie or think a movie is bad, though.
If you're not also thinking about the message the movie is trying to get across, how well it uses its themes, is the cinematography helping or hindering, you're missing the point of criticism entirely. And if you can't watch a dumb movie and enjoy it on its own terms, you shouldn't be trying to critique it in the first place.
Sometimes, a movie only needs to be fun, and that's okay! More than okay, even. More of that, please! Movies have been catering to guys like CinemanSins for the last decade or so and in doing so have largely forgotten that you can make movies that are just meant to be fun.
I think this quote from Ratatouille sums it up perfectly:
"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
Good ol' Anton Ego
@@lelo170 An amazing quote from an amazing move.
Love that quote.
@@nexusshark Same.
Ratatouille is such a brilliant film
Honestly, the "everything great about ______" videos are the exact opposite of cinemasins and manage to be strictly better at the medium that cinemasins lives in in every possible way. They even make time to criticize certain choices from time to time, or suggest things that they would have done instead, but the positive attitude and ability to take away good things from every movie make the videos actually watchable. A trait that cinemasins videos haven't had since the initial first couple videos worth of novelty they had many years ago.
ok, cinemawins is good, but i feel like everyone just calls it better because it isnt negative.
like, the issue with CS isnt that theyre negative its that they suck at it. CW is only good by virtue of not being made by jeremy
Those videos are TERRIBLE. Justifying bad movies through contrived cheerleading of trivial elements in a sea of mediocrity makes me want to hork.
They are both garbage except on opposite sides of the spectrum. Wins isn't better, you just happen to prefer the positivity over the negativity.
more like they desperately try to cover up plot holes
@@KaNoMikoProductionsmay I ask what’s wrong with cinemawins?just wondering
All I know is they gave like 100+ sins to Puss In Boots: The last wish
And they didn’t remove a sin for the perrito therapy scene
That’s because they lack media literacy and integrity
I think the biggest problem I have is that by misrepresenting, lying, mocking, and nitpicking these shows they wind up convincing a lot of people to miss out on something they may have otherwise really enjoyed.
I spent years like this! I stayed away from things because these kinds of channels said it was bad.
Then I watched birds of prey and realised that a film didn't have to be completely without sin to be enjoyed.
Not just that. They make a lot of people to only watch movies under that anti intelectual and literal lens.
Bro you've got problems if 1 you watch Cinemasins to choose what movies you watch 2 you are unable to separate blatant overplayed pettiness from actual meaningful observations on a movies style and direction.
Ohhhh nooo, a lot of people won't watch a movie that they might've enjoyed. Fuck me, we better get on this
@@walkingbucket4933 Children usually can't discern that difference. When I used to watch the channel when I was younger I genuinely thought they were being serious. Back then a friend of mine even refused to watch Big Hero Six cause of their video on it. Now as an adult I can tell they're utilizing their style of comedy but just because you could tell that difference doesn't mean others can't.
Hardcore CinemaSins fans being so bad at watching things that they don't even recognize the creator in a video seems pretty on point.
They didn't got their alarm bell pavlovian trigger so they didn't pay attention.
it's strange, Jeremy does these videos called "movie recipes" on the same channel, where he shows his face and talks, I guess it's not normal now for a viewer to search out for videos that isn't the regular content.
@@mill_ania lol

I just enjoy the content and think it’s funny •_•
one of my favorite quotes (paraphrased) is from CinemaWins: “every movie is someone’s favorite movie, and i like to find out why.” i knew i’d matured when i switched from cinemasins to cinemawins, a cynical formulaic slog vs a heartfelt, honest attempt to find the good in all movies with some good analysis?? not a hard choice. cinemasins is exhausting and unfunny. thank you for making this video, maybe you can change some minds.
Matured = Mindlessly accepting whatever slop the industry puts in front of you.
@@lukew6725 you could win awards for that leap of logic
The thing I find most unfortunate about CinemaSins is how their impressionable fan base will take their inane "critiques" as legitimate and parrot that opinion/shit on a perfectly fine film without ever having seen it for themselves to form a genuine opinion. I can't even imagine what their fan base (at least the ones who take them seriously as critics) considers a good story / script when *every single variation of plot point or writing device or setup* is made fun of as bad.
I don't need to watch five and a half hours of "Chargeman Ken" to know that the rest of it is a surreal nightmare.
Quite frankly, that's the entire appeal.
they go full Schrodinger's satire
if you call one of their critiques out for being wrong or stupid, well that one was just a joke and you were the stupid one for not realizing
but then at the same time, act like they are actual critics of movies
@@cara-seyun "Schrodinger's satire" lmao I love that
Hey! Nice to meet ya! Ok, skipping the weak intro...I take some of what they say seriously, just like you guys do when critiquing them. Most of their sins are jokes, and that is quite obvious to anyone who isn't either dick riding them, or trying to critique them. Anyways, some of what they say can be applied to other movies, to which I do pay attention to. For starters, cliches are used in media, which do pull me out of movies at times. Not every cliche is good, but not all are bad. As for story elements, like in Avatar the Way of Water, they point out characters and how they act, which do not make sense. Sully wants peace, but only after betraying his race, killing a high ranking officer, and failing his one job they gave him, only for him to go full Navi, lead a tribe, and not listen to others? CinemaSins isn't untouchable and can be critiqued, absolutely, but what they do is comedy for people who watch them, while also providing some ways for watchers to use their heads. We are not obligated to agree to their "sins" either, so if they make a dumb call, we can disagree with it for our own reasons.
When my sister first introduced me to CinemaSins like 15 years ago. I remember they would just critique little production mistakes. Cameraman in the mirror. Extra doing something silly. It was fun stuff I just missed. After a while all it was them making jokes or not understanding the direction of the movie. It became tedious and maybe I outgrew their brand of humor.
I was never a big fan of CinemaSins but I used to enjoy their earlier videos where they pointed out minor mistakes in the films. I loved to know about these parts of movies I missed. Then I didn't watch them for a few years and recently decided to watch a video from them because I've started to love film reviews and analysis. I watched a video from them on a film I neither liked nor disliked (forgot the film though) and was disappointed to see them making jokes more focused on laughing at the plot choices of the film (some of which did make perfect sense in context). Couldn't even finish that video and haven't watched any more from them since.
I enjoyed a few videos but I noticed they pick out every single thing, stuff that wasn’t even worth mentioning. It’s just so boring and stupid
They used to be good. Showing genuine silly things and mistakes. But if just got bitter
10000% agree
Wasn't CS created in 2012?
“We deliberately make mistakes in our scripts” is the most cowardly thing I’ve ever heard. Also, I know cinemasins sucks because I’ve seen a cinemasins video.
It reminds me how they talk about satire. I don't think they understand what Satire is.
imagine a comedian purposfully make a mistake while telling a joke ,
or a singer purposfully screw up notes ,
or an atlethe purposfully not playing to his fullest ,
their whole buisness model is build on pointing out mistakes , and they make mistakes of their own on purpose ?

It's the laziest way to dodge responsibility possible. Don't have to improve if you refuse to acknowledge that you ever made a mistake
@@davidegaruti2582 I've actually seen comedians purposely make mistakes during a joke, it's extremely common in the manzai style of comedy over in Japan. However... that's performed by a duo of a tsukkomi and boke, A.K.A. a straight man and a funny man. The funny man is supposed to be corrected by the straight man. They literally have another person in place to point out that the funny man is being wrong.
CinemaSins on the other hand isn't being corrected, which is the real crux of why their mistakes are so bad. If you make mistakes extremely egregious, they *must* be corrected for it to be comedic- otherwise you're just wrong. This is something CinemaSins hasn't understood for a long, long time.
@@howareyoumoreofaclownthanme Additionally, intentional mistakes for comedy tend to be way more blatant. It's often extremely obvious, and sometimes stated, sarcasm, or just being so ridiculously wrong that there's no chance of being taken seriously. CinemaSins mistakes aren't the kind that read as obvious jokes, and seem more like actual mistakes.
At the end, when you're showing the Cinemasins video clip, it zooms in past the black borders and into the movie. That's genius. That's telling us to look past them and just watch the movie
I've never seen Suicide squad but hearing the father say: "and so do you." Actually made me smile. Goddamn, I need to see this movie.
The thing is, the initial premise of CinemaSins is actually pretty cool. Pointing out mostly technical or scripting errors with the occasional joke thrown in could be a good-natured way of poking fun at how difficult film production is. It’s when Jeremy starts getting into the story and characters that things get irritating.
Well, some character sins aren't bad, but he got into pointing out flaws with characters like characterization and growth. Like Jeremy wants a movie to have character that don't change or grow at all AND have no defining traits. I have no idea what kind of character that would be, outside one I have no interest in.
The biggest problem is just lack of integrity. The fact that not only can you not distinguish all the legitimate criticisms from jokes, but you can’t distinguish legit problems they point out from the lack of attention they pay just ruins it.
Well all that and now they've gotten to the point of making sins out of things that aren't even wrong, like what they perceived as a continuity error but it's just Jeremy being dumb and not noticing.
Or whatever pedantic nonsense he points out now.
"Dogs wouldn't wear a collar like that!" *Ding*
I know it's not RUclips but sometimes there would be shows that point out these things in films, but they keep it like 4 or 5 things per film and move onto the next. Just for fun like seeing a car in the background of a film set in ancient Egypt or something. Never really go into the all the story stuff, mostly visual. If CinemaSins kept it to that, maybe a video covering one film would be really short. So do it like TV. Half an hour to an hour of a load of films just pointing out mistakes. Instead of just being a series of jokes...yeah you can put jokes in to laugh at the mistake....but framing everything as a joke and a mistake...eh. You could just make a different series for that. It seems he wants to be different from review channels, but that's what he comes off as, a review channel disguised as pointing out mistakes and continuity errors, things that weren't meant to make it in the film.
I think this video points out my main issue with CS-style "criticism" pretty well, but to add my two cents... Cinema Sins has contributed to, if not ouright created, this culture of perfectionism with regards to media. If you like something, it mist be defended from any and all criticism. If you dislike it, it can't have any redeeming qualities and must be relentlessly trashed (and anybody who likes it regardless must be wrong, possibly not just factually but morally). But they specifically make a point of criticizing _all_ movies, and their tagline is that "no movie is without sin", right? The second part of that culture, sure, but how does CS contribute to an inability to criticize things you enjoy? That's where the inconsistency and "it's just a joke" aspects come in. If you like a movie, they're just nitpicking or making jokes, and the video doesn't really mean anything. It's a joke, not criticism. But if you dislike a movie, their jokes and nitpicks become meaningful, and expose the problems with the movie, regardless of whether the quality of the criticism is any different.
I know it's kind of frowned on to bring up politics, especially non-centrist views, out of nowhere, but there's a channel I enjoy called Innuendo Studios that makes a good amount of leftist political commentary. And in the video "The Card Says 'Moops'", he describes a particular sort of internet user that, while not exclusive to the alt-right, thrives there: "Schroedinger's Douchebag", a person whose words are so thoroughly irony-poisoned that not even they (or rather, usually he) can tell when a take is sincere and when it's just an irreverent joke. I bring this up, not for any political reason, but to posit that Cinema Sins and their fans are Schroedinger's Douchebag as media critics. There's no sincerity - if someone says a movie is bad, here's why it's bad, but if they say it's good, it's "come on, can't you take a joke" or worse, the implication that you're just upset because you can't bear to see something you like criticized. But it's not that I think anything is perfect, and honestly, framing the "think critically about everything" in such a zero-context, near-purely negative Gish Gallop full of terrible arguments that misunderstand media criticism on a fundamental level, with no "here's how it could be improved on", just an endless parade of bullet points... It makes it harder to genuinely criticize things, whether you end up deciding that the thing is good or bad overall. Or whether or not a bad thing is still enjoyable in some way despite the issues.
I've seen people be like "I know Cinema Sins is trash, but their videos on genuinely bad movies are still funny", and... I get it, but I still hesitate to even give them that much credit, because even on "bad" movies their videos still often have really bad arguments for those movies being bad or unenjoyable. In the end, in order for a criticism to really feel sincere, you have to engage with what you're criticizing on a level playing field, taking the good and the bad, addressing it all within its own context, and suggesting ways it could have been improved if there are major problems. Criticism is not just about sorting media or fans thereof into boxes of "good" or "bad", and while it's good to be reminded that even the best media has flaws, Cinema Sins is abjectly terrible at doing this for the right reasons or in the right ways. The end result is a product that makes people worse at media criticism, while stroking their egos to make them think it's making them better at it. If Jeremy really wants to make Hollywood movies better he'd offer suggestions of what could be genuinely improved. But either he has no suggestions, or finds his position of "making bank off of smug superiority" too lucrative to actually want movies to be better. And that ignores that not only have there always been bad movies, there are still good ones and bad-but-enjoyable ones. Cynicism and irony-poisoning in media criticism genuinely help nobody.
I would not be able to resist the urge to point out that 17 minutes and 45 seconds isn't 17 minutes or less.

What gets me laughing is that CinemaSins has proven their satire as stale where their "criticism" are just asspulls that don't really make their jokes funny or point out a plot hole we may have missed.
Meanwhile, there's Pitch Meeting, a web series that does exactly what CinemaSins fails to do: poke fun at the contrivances, cliches, tropes, and plot hoke of a movie or show all while pointing it out and making us laugh over it.
I never watched CinemaSins, and I'm glad I never did. They just seem intent running an old joke to the fucking outer reaches of the unknown universe when it stopped being funny last millennium ago.
I absolutely agree with your point at 24:30, when I watched CinemaSins I'd start "noticing" things in movies, things that "didn't make sense".
Me and a friend would even sit and watch movies CS hadn't done videos on yet and we'd laugh at how bad some things were even if it really wasn't bad.
My Mom actually told me to shut the fuck up while watching movies because I'd keep ruining everything, but I just didn't understand back then.
I understand that I should've seen what I was doing, but I completely aped CS while watching movies, there's a fat 4 year hole somewhere around 2015 where I just didn't enjoy a single movie, because I'd have that fucking Dinging sound in the back of my mind when my subconscious thought there was something that didn't make sense, I'd roll my eyes, point to the screen and say: "That doesn't make sense."
I wouldn't say shit if it was just a channel about shit-talking movie mistakes, but it literally just pointed out random things and said... well, nothing.
At that point you're basically just fostering a mentality that movies aren't good, "No movie is without a sin" is sadly more like a "No movie is actually good" at the end of things.
If I’m being honest, they’d be a whole lot funnier if they just stuck with the “snob satire” approach without throwing any actual criticism in there as well. Having both in the same format makes it _really_ hard to tell the two apart.
CinemaWins also does this, but his phrasing and delivery makes it clear which is just half-hearted “positive vibes” (like “hugging” or “x is always a win”) and which is the real good stuff.
True, though even if CS stuck with the pretentious amateur film critic caricature, they'd still be terrible at it. They'd really have to ham up the snobby aspects of their own scripts by coming off as, well, pseudointellectual. One potential avenue: deliberately misusing film theory in such an outlandish way that it's clear they're putting on an act. Maybe, say, creating a video called "Sound Direction In Movies Has Lost Its Way" where they launch into a diatribe about how when Jules takes a bite of the Big Kahuna Burger in Pulp Fiction, the diegetic sound of his chewing is a failure because it doesn't accurately convey how tasty the burger is (completely missing the point of both diegetic sound and the scene's purpose). Or devoting an entire video to how Tarantino can't be called an auteur because Reservoir Dogs doesn't contain a shot of a woman's feet (gross misunderstanding of auteur theory while calling attention to a quirky aspect of Tarantino's films that even he jokes about). Instead, CS comes off as the drunk, dimwitted uncle at a family gathering who can't help but wonder aloud why Awkwafina named herself after a water bottle while you're trying to enjoy Shang-Chi.
And as far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what they are.
CinemaWins is honestly just a better review channel.

I'll give CinemaSins fans credit -- they're consistently stupid as Jeremy Scott, so it's pretty on-point how they can "pay attention" to his crappy videos yet can't do the same when watching a video about the guy showing his ugly face.
@@royalcass yeah, when Bob showed the clip again at the end of the video he made it apparent by writing on the screen that it was a clip of Jeremy and how it’s ironic that most of Jeremy’s points there could be applied to his own work. I find it very funny that the last comment shown in this video as an example of CS fans not understanding that says in their third edit that they stopped paying attention to the video to write an edit and then missed the text saying it was Jeremy in the car.
This is this first time I’m learning that people actually viewed CinemaSins as “legitimate” film criticism, wether good or bad. Never considering it anything more than just middling satire (granted I’m only peripherally aware of it) but, judging from their response, I guess they themselves were under the impression that they were film critics.
When I'm in a reading comprehension and low critical thinking skills competition and my opponents are CS stans and defenders
Something a therapist told me: "There is a myth that smart people are miserable and ignorance is the only way to be happy, but the only people that believe that wholeheartedly are the ones that also believe all happy people are ignorant."
My therapist once said: " When me and my gang pull up you better get to runnin."
Anecdotal, but everyone in my family growing up was dumb as fuck, abusive, self absorbed and utterly miserable people to be around. The myth is tied to alcohol making people "happy", as if mental health experts say you should get buzzed whenever you're sad. It's just a depressant, it doesn't make you happy, it's artificial dopamine that makes other activities less pleasurable compared to drinking, the happy alcoholic stereotype is long dead.
Something I'd like to add is that "not caring" and "being ignorant" are 2 entirely different things that are often mistaken for one another.
What I mean by this is... you can watch a movie, with lots of flaws and room for criticism. You can be _fully aware_ of the criticisms and flaws you could point out... or you could just choose to ignore them and enjoy the movie.
It's all just a matter of what you focus on. And it's much more fulfilling to just enjoy a movie. There will _always_ be cynical people, and people who's literal *job* it is to pluck and peel apart movies second-by-second... so there's no need for you to sacrifice your own enjoyment of media to do that.
It doesn't make you ignorant, because you're still aware of the flaws, you just realize that it'll do nothing but make yourself miserable to cling to them. If anything, it makes you wiser than the people who always nit-pick everything.
I've always been against the "ignorance is bliss" idea. you don't like to learn? ok, but don't lump me in with you.

Honestly I only watched cinema sins for any continuity errors I find in movies and then see if anyone else found them but his jokes got annoying so quick
@@NOTDeezy. same. I watched them like 4 or 5 years ago when they used to just focus on fun little mistakes a movie made. then I feel like either I suddenly realized it, or they changed, but I noticed that they...didnt like those movies?? I always assumed it was fun for them to find inconsistencies, but at some point I started hearing genuine bitterness every video and that's when I took my leave :/
I’m pretty sure people like that have existed for as long as movies were popular.
I legitimately teared up at that short clip of the "why rats, papa?" Almost tempted to watch the movie.
I remember back in 2008 I had a friend who criticized movies in the same way and I started doing it myself. Took me over a decade to realize what I was doing and shake it off.
Switching from watching Cinema Sins to Cinema Wins actually helped me start enjoying movies again because I wasn't subconsciously nitpicking everything
Cinema wins is an awesome channel, love that guy
I'm a person who actively enjoys disecting and critiquing movies as I watch them, and yet I still hate Cinema Sins because they aren't actually critiquing movies 90% of the time and are just blatantly misrepresenting the plot on purpose to introduce dumb questions that either don't need to be answered or literally were answered.
I switch between both .
@@samlewis6487
People thought they were critics?
No wonder.
It's mostly a channel bashing movies for the fun of it.
My thoughts exactly, CinemaWins is just top tier. I watched their "Dune" video a while ago (Dune's probably one of my favourite movies of all time)-and they pointed out like 40 details that I didn't even notice! Same thing goes for other videos I watched from them like the (1st) Hunger Games; a movie I watched 50 times by now and they _still_ managed to note out 10 or so details I was unaware. They're really amazing and I love them.
Cinemasins criteria for a good movie:
Must have lots of jokes
Characters can't make jokes
Characters must face challenges
Characters can't face any challenge
Must have lots of character development
Can't have character development because it's boring
Characters must never make mistakes
Characters can't be intelligent
Can't have good climax
Climax can't be boring
Scene must contain lap dance. You forgot that one

Don’t forget they CANNOT eat an apple
Characters can't be saved (even though that's not what a fucking Deus ex Machina is... >
"Characters must never make a mistake."
Can't really use that since that is an unironic criticism damn near every critic makes. It's most prolific in the horror movie genre.
It's more of a sad state of general criticism when the average view of characters making mistakes are seen as bad writing.
I used to really enjoy watching CinemaSins until I saw some of their videos on movies I'd actually seen, at which point I had a "Wait... huh?" moment, where I started to realize how severely they would intentionally misinterpret the source material for a cheap laugh. It's sad.
I was watching this video while doing the washing up in the kitchen and stopped what I was doing to go wipe down my TV because the black, marbled background made it look like my TV was absolutely covered in dust.
Good video, btw!

The destruction of emotional intelligence by these people are scary. And your blind defense is terrible.
If the only thing you can say to defend them or justify your viewing is "Well, just don't watch it!" is far more telling of how pathetic they are then you think it is.
The "eyeball juice" sin is especially stupid because I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that vitreous humor is nearly entirely water. But as Bob said in Sustaining Stupidity, "Some people will claim this is just CinemaSins playing their asshole character for a joke, but after a certain point, it doesn't matter: if you pretend to be stupid for long enough, you just look stupid."
Honestly CS is what initially discouraged me from pursuing writing as a hobby. It wasn't just them, tho, back then the internet was full of "critics" more than essayists. I love that today things are more balanced. On the long run I love watching people breaking down what's good or talented or well thought about movies while also addressing the flaws and how they could be improved or just ignored if it's not a big deal, it's super motivating and makes you less afraid of criticism.

I’ve never cared about Suicide Squad, or even DC films in general. But that climax? The climax which I had almost no context for? It made me cry. Just seeing it on its own, completely detached from the rest of its story, was enough to make me cry. That’s how powerful that moment is. I can’t believe I used to watch CinemaSins. I can’t believe I was one of those people who found it a good substitute for actually watching the film. They miss the entire point of a film and then act like it’s “being too smart and observant to get fooled by the writers’ emotional manipulation” rather than “lacking basic empathy and emotional intelligence.”
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one crying for a movie climax without any context
the actor really sells the emotion in her face and you kinda emote with her .
Glad I'm not the only one wow
I can’t believe you either, watching CinemaSins is one thing. Hell I still occasionally tune in, but to view it as a viable substitute for the actual film is another level.
my thoughts exactly lmfao
I remember watching one of their videos when i was like 11 and even then i thought "wow ive never seen anyone miss the point of a movie so hard before"
I barely even got the point of movies at that age
and I still agree with you
I used to watch Cinemasins a LOT (glad it didn't effect me - I'm still a proprietor of joy and whimsy) but the first time I noticed something might be up is when I started watching Everything GREAT About and noticed that they often directly contradict the Everything Wrong With on the same movie
Edit: this video also just taught me the difference between Suicide Squad and THE Suicide Squad lol
The problem with the “find this about a movie to laugh, poke fun, or mock” genre is it starts off fun but eventually viewers want you to make fun of just about everything. Even if the movie is a polished piece of art. I got tired of it. Or maybe too old for it. It’s why I stopped watching Cinema Sins and even stopped watching Honest Trailers from ScreenJunkies.
The rule of three holds pretty true in comedy. Every gag or punchline is funniest the third time, and after that it stops being funny. They have retold the same "joke" 700 times for the better part of a decade and don't understand why people are still walking out in the middle of their set.
I would say *especially* if the movie is a polished piece of art. I mean, just look at their Citizen Cain video. If your aim is to prove yourself intellectually superior to everyone then those who are most clearly your superiors are the ones you need to attack the most. CinemaSins is an inferiority complex made manifest as a youtube channel.
@middle aged man in extreme debt First of all I was thinking the exact same thing. I love pitch meeting. I think here are few major differences.
1) Ryan makes a lot of fun outside the movie thus not depending entirely on the poking fun part for entertainment. It is often subtle but u can observe it and enjoy on rewatches or if u pay attention.
2) He usually poiints out plot holes and major plot contrivances rather than just nit picking the entire movie.
3) He usually does not undermine the great art either by not making a video on such movies or by acknowledging how good they are in the video itself. For ex try movies like matrix or john wick
To better understand the differences i suggest watch both videos of the same movie from ryan and cs and honest trailers.
I’ve seen Microwave society do well. Like they just watched Mega Mind and they kept bringing up that it’s a good movie. They didn’t want to make fun of it because at its core it’s a good movie
@middle aged man in extreme debt Idk, Ryan is just charismatic. Its hard to hate the guy, plus the Pitch Meetings are a more inventive format than CS imo.
It's funny when a channel like CinemaSins, who make their living off of -critiquing- nitpicking other peoples works, can't handle the same level of scrutiny when it's applied to their own content.
And it's even funnier when the response to said criticism is "you're taking this too literally."
Dude. That's literally all you do!
Its even funnier when a channel like this makes a "movie" themselves and gets badly criticized and mocked. And they get super pissed off at the negative attention lol.
To be fair it's a deeper level of scrutiny, because he's actually paying attention to thier content before critiquing

I love it when people are shouting at you for criticising and their argument is "if you dont like it, stop watching it". You can really hear it as the deep irony flies over their head.
But moviebob makes several hours’ long videos of nearly crying about cinemasins existence whereas you wouldn’t know if the people criticizing this video in the comments did stop watching and left a comment on the way out
@@robertyounger5849 He's complaining about Cinemasins approach not their existence and make specific points about why he thinks Cinemasins is lazy.
I’m pretty sure existing and being however you are are intrinsically linked.
The thing that I keep waiting for someone to explain is the “nearly crying” part. I’ve disliked a lot of movie reviewers (I don’t like cinema sins either) but I’m not in tears bemoaning how some movie reviewer nearly ruined my life and the lives of my whole generation like moviebob/this comment section are. It’s really dramatic
@@robertyounger5849 It's not dramatic if it convinces movie fans to change their approach to analyzing movies which forces movie studios to make jokes that poke fun at tropes within movies.
These meta jokes hurt the overall quality of movies because they add nothing to the story.
Also what's wrong with criticizing Cinemasins if their approach is lazy but it's negatively impacting the movie fan community. They misrepresent the average movie fan.
Cinemasins defenders say Cinemasins is playing a character the average movie fan. But average movie fans don't laugh at unimportant details and make weird sex jokes. Beevus and Butthead did that in the 90s.
So the measure of how non-dramatic something is is how much it convinces people? How is that so?
Audience changing approach to analyzing forces studios to make jokes poking fun at tropes? No it doesn’t. They aren’t forced to do anything.
Meta jokes hurt the quality of the story? Really subjective, depends on the story.
Never said anything is wrong with criticizing cinema sins. I said it’s weird to be sounding like your about to cry and blaming one RUclips channel for “ruining a generation of moviegoers”
They misrepresent the cinephile community? Well I don’t know who would expect any one RUclips channel to represent the whole cinephile community, that would be weird.
They are playing a character, just one I’m not that interested in. Just like “on cinema at the cinema.” I don’t see you guys complaining about that show.
In summary it’s weird that you think movie studios put tons of weight into what this RUclips channel is doing, it’s weird that you expect them to represent you and not just do whatever they choose to do with their show, and it’s weird that everyone in these is acting like they had some compulsion to parrot CS-style humor which they had no agency over somehow and now they are so upset the channel ruined their live apparently
No idea why this video popped up in my feed but quick question though. Does any of this matter? If it doesn't hurt anyone just don't watch someones content or am I missing something?
Your questions will be answered if you watch the video
It matters because it gets clicks to shit on people who make more money than you shitting on other things that you love.
@FernandoMazzo175 I did and I still don't see why it matters or why anyone would waste rime caring.
@@Mordikay211 That's because you didn't pay attention to what the video had to say.
this reminds me of thebirdmans “everything wrong with cinemasins” without the lying that he’s only joking and likes cinemasins because his criticisms feel way too personal
Speaking from my position as a grad student in scriptwriting, I've had a couple peers in my program who said they aspired to create a "CinemaSins-proof screenplay" and I *despaired*. Those videos have done so much harm with how we engage and talk about films that anyone who gives those hacks any quarter by taking them into account and altering their own vision for a movie is so depressing. Their channel is equally far-reaching as how mind-poisoning it is.
Anyways, as someone who had his fill of superhero movies, The Suicide Squad was good yo.
If CinemaSins critiqued The Tortoise and the Hare, they'd probably complain about how the story was too short, there was no character arc, and how can the tortoise communicate with the hare they're two different species, and why was the hare so stupid as to take a nap halfway through the race.
And they would completely miss out the lesson of the fable, that if you have talent but are lazy, you're going to be beaten by people who work hard and never give up. The superficial elements of the story are not as important as the themes and subtext.
No story is "CinemaSins-proof". Any shithead troll can point and laugh and make fun of something. But the act of creation, of adding value to the world, that is infinitely harder, and infinitely more valuable than these shitheads' "opinions".
Also, The Suicide Squad is considered to be the best DC film after The Dark Knight, so CS's opinions can go eat from a toilet.
This "chekhov" guy thought it'd be smart to show us the gun at the beginning. Sure, because *that* doesn't spoil the ending at all. DING
I feel like a lot of modern movies try to ‘cinemasins-proof’ themselves by having the characters point out tropes and plot holes themselves. But that just results in a generation of movies that are scared to be sincere, and all for CS to just go “what he said.” *ding*
Don't worry, they'll just do a hostile edit to create a "sin" anyway.
Interestingly, in an interview the Russo's said they wrote Winter Soldier with the idea of making it "Honest Trailer proof".
When the Honest Trailer for it came out, the main thrust was "uh, I guess the bad guys plan was pretty complicated? This one's hard guys, sorry"
The issue is that they take things that are meant to be taken seriously as a joke, while also taking things that are meant to be jokes too seriously. They hyperbolize every action with its direct antithesis, which is extremely annoying.
uhm, you used big words, you are clearly a nerd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! opinion invalid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Humor is subjective. There are plenty of comedians that I find funny and probably an equal amount that I don't find funny. CinemaSins is just another form of humor.
You are essentially doing the same. Taking them seriously while they're just meant to be taken as a joke. No one should take CinemaSins seriously, and if they do, that's their problem.
If it's annoying, don't watch it. Click on something else, there's plenty of content to consume apart from CinemaSins.
@@sameermohideen4913 I don’t watch them anymore. Just wanted to give my thoughts. No need to defend them so hard, lol.
@@peamut547 There wasn't much of a defense in my comment. Some like it, some don't. If that's a "defense" for you I'm not sure what you want to hear.
@@sameermohideen4913 That's a good majority of their viewers that take them seriously. There is something wrong with their satire if the alleged satire RUclips channel is taken seriously.
Thank god that "Gamesünden" (a german RUclips Channel doing sins on games) is much funnier and really shows the problems with modern games.
And has many running gags that crack me up every time

This video brought me all the way back to a GamingSins episode on me2 where they give a sin for the sounds your hear in the opening of the game while walking through the decompressed wreckage of the Normandy for "you shouldnt be able to hear anything because theres no sound in space" meanwhile the sound is you breathing and the blood flow that your character is only so aware of because "theres no sound in space"
CinemaSins is like the pinnacle of how pessimism sells. They seem to know that people gravitate more towards negativity or anger, much like how a review of a bad videogame will get more interaction than a review of a good game. CS sees that trend and makes it their bitch, for better or worse.
Yeah and this video is selling pessimism too by nitpicking another channel. Lol how ironic.
@@phoenixrising7777 Sometimes, you gotta fight fire with fire.
@@mariethememelord9555 sounds hypocritical if that’s the central point of the video’s thesis.
@@mariethememelord9555 some of my favorite videos to look up are defense videos on things like modern cartoons and The Last Jedi.
@@phoenixrising7777 he isn’t nitpicking it, he’s pointing out fundamental flaws and hypocrisy in CinemaSins’ approach and their public statements. That’s not nitpicking or being pessimistic. That’s just viewing something on the whole and criticizing how bad it is. Pessimism is having a negative predisposition towards things that is not related to the actual nature of whatever it is you’re being pessimistic about. Being critical of a channel like CinemaSins is not selling pessimism. Selling an entire channel founded off of negative videos about movies, like CinemaSins does, is selling pessimism.
Im actually sat here, weeping with laughter that the cinemasins fans were busy excoriating Jeremy for being pretentious and self aggrandising, whilst thinking that it was you in the car and that they were defending him.😂
That's actually hilarious
Talking to the camera in the car sin
Goes to show the intelligence of cinemasins fans
@@steambrowser6185 camera in the car cliche
"Exciorating" is my new favorite 10 dollar word.
I still wonder if all the people taslking about CS to this day somehow contributed to them managing to survive this long
Y'know, I've only watched a few CinemaSins videos. There was always something mildly annoying about them that turned me off from watching more of the channel's content, but I've never been able to put my finger on why. Seemed like they were picking nits at otherwise reasonable scenes and I had no idea whether they were being serious or "intentionally stupid as a joke" about it, and that made it difficult to engage with the content, I guess; and without having actually seen the films those videos were about, it was impossible to quantify anything.
This video has put those old feelings in perspective for me, though, so, yeah. Thanks for that.
I guess it's not super-surprising that a channel run by a couple of marketing guys would cater to what is effectively lowest-common-denominator clickbait audiences, though.
I just hate him because I saw him literally on the verge of tears during a podcast when he tried to debate guys who were anti immigration
Watching CinemaSins makes me feel like im showing my parents any piece of media that brings me joy and watching them laugh at and mock it bc they don't understand how something so "stupid" can matter so much to me
Oh BIG mood
That... Is so dang relatable it hurts physically...
felt this too deeply
The reason I don’t share things with pretty much everyone without testing the waters first is because this hasn’t happened to me but I am VERY afraid of it
Relatable
It's why I personaly avoid talking to my parents as much as posible
Cinemasins have become the embodiment of only focusing on the negative of anything
I wish, Cinemansins is instead the embodiment of making shit up to be mad about. If he actually focused on what was wrong with a film, it could be educational.
Yea, Honest Trailers and Pitch Meeting does a way better job at poking fun at the movie flaws than CS.
That's exactly what cinema sins is about mate
Their arguments on what considered as "Sins" are shit anyways. they nitpick on some of the most minute stuff and doesn't even support those sins well enough. Its humour for 10 yr olds at best.
the fact he sins things and scenes he likes in the movies he criticises already speaks for itself
i did not expect to cry at this video. but the ending did just that. this video is very good at explaining all of cinema sins faults in bad writing, bad analyses of movies, and bad concept overall, but it is also good at letting me retain hope. sometimes videos like these that rip through people with hate-filled hearts end with a nihilistic stance on the world, because honestly, people like that make us lose hope for others. if cinemasins exists and is so widely popular even now, what hope do i have for society's critical thinking when it comes to movie analysis? but this video let me keep that hope. i love feeling things deeply and emotionally. i love watching movies that carry hard-hitting points, even if most think the movie wasn't that good. i love watching beautiful metaphors manifest into the climax of the film, it's nice. thank you for this video.
I personally didnt like this joke - sin
I didnt understand this - sin
The word "you" was used twice in less than a minute - sin
The character looked to the left, cliche - sin
The movie didnt release in december - sin
I never saw anything good on it, just watched some because it had potential, but didnt deliver
One of the big problems about cinemasins is that they do multiple different things:
Some of their sins are genuine criticisms.
Some of their sins are jokes.
Some of their sins are just wrong.
Jeremy has gone on record saying that they sometimes get things wrong on purpose because he "thinks it's funny." They have crafted a template where they can never get anything wrong ever. They never tell your whether the sin is meant to be genuine or a joke, and it means that if they actually get it wrong because they're fucking idiots, they can defend themselves by saying "no, we actually MEANT to get that wrong!" That's why you have so many diehard cinemasins fans who defend them by saying "You just don't understand cinemasins!" Because you CAN'T understand what they mean at any given time. It is hardcoded into their template.
I think it is clear they are joking most times though. Hence why "diehard" cinemasins fans say that.
@@olivercharles2930 I mean, some times it's clear. Some times it's not. That's the problem. It's impossible to criticize them because even if they aren't joking and accidentally make a mistake, diehard cinemasins fans will just say that it was a joke, and thus beyond criticism. They have manufactured a situation where they're "always right"
It's like someone saying "I'm not rude you're just very sensitive" or "it's not that I'm not funny you just don't get my humor" talk about not being able to or wanting to take accountability.
It works for me
I think if you watch a LOT of cinema sins, you can start to pick up what their actual opinions are vs the jokes, and which movies they actually like and don't. I mean i don't watch it much anymore but meh
@@clairetellkamp6253It's like those people who post a controversial opinion, and when someone calls them out on it, they say it's a joke. But when someone agrees, they 180 and agree with said person.
The "This is a genuinely cool scene" scene, with the two bullets - I haven't seen the movie, but is that not also a callback to the guy saying he shot smaller bullets so he shot better? That's... like that's genuinely good storytelling, actually.
Literally my first reaction was to remember the scene where he was bragging about shooting smaller bullets. I haven't seen the movie, and I didn't even bother looking at their faces in that scene near the end, but being a callback seemed like such an obvious thing that it's kind of hilarious that CinemaSins decided to rag on it anyways.
people who like to make intellectual remarks on movies usually don't pick up on more subtle things lmao
It's even worse, because 2 seconds later, before Peacemaker dies, he asks Bloodsport how that was possible, to which Bloodsport simply replies, "Smaller bullets", making the callback even more obvious. But I guess it still wasn't obvious enough for CinemaSins.
@@JeradMal Oh my goooood I haven't seen the movie but that's like. So obviously a callback?? Wow.
@@JeradMaldid you mix up the 2?
Man, the things I hate most about CinemaSins are:
"Criticizing films for having [INSERT A NUMBER] minutes of logo"
"Criticizing the film because scene does not include lap dance" (this is even in the FIRST VIDEO they posted on their channel)
"Criticizing the film because [SOME FEMALE CHARACTER] is not he's girlfriend in some scene"
"Jeremy makes a running gag about his 'college girlfriend'"
"Jeremy says that anything that is a solution is a Deus ex machina"
"Jeremy ignores something the movie explains and tells his audience that the movie doesn't explain something the movie REALLY explains"
"Jeremy and Chris manipulate scenes to make it look like there really is a sin but there really isn't"
"Jeremy making inappropriate jokes and saying that anything looks like a boner"
"Jeremy tries to tell true facts but he completely alters the true facts" (an example, in the video "EWW: Finding Nemo" it says that Nemo would turn female after his mother died, when in fact Marlin would turn female after his wife died)
"Jeremy singing in a video just to embarrass himself"
"Jeremy making a pop culture references and saying that making pop culture references is a sin"
"Jeremy sinning something he LIKES"
"Jeremy pointing things on the screen"
"Jeremy sinning things that EXIST in the real world that appear in movies"
"Jeremy missidentifying animals"
"Jeremy saying that some things are cliché when they really aren't"
"Jeremy sinning things saying that are 'sins' that aren't sins"
"Jeremy saying something that is not the focus of the scene"
"Jeremy and Chris criticizes several good, critically acclaimed films as if they were bad"
"Jeremy completely ignores the process of how to make a movie"
"Jeremy sins something that's funny"
"Jeremy seems to really hate some good movies" (like "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Emperor's New Groove", And yes, I don't think "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a bad movie)
I used to watch CS a lot when I was younger, but one day I realized 90% of the stuff he was saying is so nit-picky and negative without being tongue in cheek like (I think) it originally was. I much prefer watching CinemaWins now, because its just basically lots of little facts about how the movie was made and shows little details you would likely miss on first watch, with a much more positive tone.
i remember watching them a while back and just liked seeing how high the sin counter could get and didn’t actually care about the criticism 💀
Probably most of the Dumb children who watched he's channel xD
Yea I remember watching to see just how many things that guy could pull out of his ass
Same, I knew a lot was wrong but I just watched for a laugh or general boredom.
same! thats probably part of the reason why they have the counter in the first place, lolz.
That's the way you are supposed to watch them! They aren't serious videos, but people take them seriously
The most impressive thing is how you got CinemaSins to nuke a bunch of their side content. They would rather hide the things you criticised then over instead of leaving them up and potentially farming ad revenue off of them.
Trade offer:
You get: Delete videos that show evidence of what has been critiqued
You lose: About 500.000 money units of Ad revenue per year
26:10 this got me to cry in a way you dont know. sure i wasnt sobbing my eyes out or anything but it hit me so hard since i always overthink every interaction. that quote will sit with me for the rest of my life as something to fall back on if i ever doubt myself ever again. thank you
Beyond all the other CS problems you listed, I had another. Back when they were just blowing up I stopped watching them. They really committed the biggest YT sin of all in my mind: being boring. Literally every video devolved into the same unfunny dings. DC Movies *ding*. Roll Credits *ding*. Scene does not contain a lapdance *ding*. Like it was 1 part interesting points and 9 parts recycled "jokes". Idk how anyone can consistently watch that cookie cutter shit lmao.
Cinemasins is part of this irony-poison internet culture were the most important thing is showing how very clever you are and the worst thing is showing genuine vulnerability or sincere emotion.
Fully agree, the irony-poison internet culture has emotionally damaged me.
Also describes twitter in a nutshell, atleast the clapback culture part of it.
It's entirely up to you if you want to consume it as poison or if you want to consume it as low-brow juvenile humor.
@@jollyorcaomg SAME, i’m trying so hard to remember who i was and how i felt and thought before i started using too much internet
@@jollyorca You can't get any more fragile than this..
CinemaSins just goes to show how far people will go to tell the world they have no media literacy, and are perversely proud of the fact.
Then there's the folks that build channels based around the CS model, but going after other media. Like Video Games and Anime....it's sad.
"media literacy", "emotional intelligence"- who cares? Poking fun at movies is enjoyable. You don't like it? Sure, ok. It's not content for you, then. I don't like 3am prank channels, but I'm not going to make 2 entire videos about how they're some kind of scourge.
@@somerandomgamer8504 It seems like did not get the point of videos like the one made by bobvids. Sure, it,s fun to poke actual mistakes, but Jeremy is a guy who tries to sound smart but oftren proves ignorance, or that he did not made any research - and yet he try to play an expert at anything from science to firearms.
@@Endru85x So what? If a crazy homeless man outside your house claims he's a prophet and the end times are coming, are you just going to believe him and then blame him and complain when it's not? It's your choice to take the idiot seriously or not. It doesn't matter how seriously the idiot claims to be.
@@somerandomgamer8504 Explain this to all the people who treat him seriously and think his sins are actual flaws of the film.
The "intentionally ignorant" sin thing drives me up a wall. Basically for the same reasons described in this video's precursor: you can't just lump in something "intentionally ignorant" with a bunch of not-intentionally-ignorant things and expect people to get "the joke." And if you're not going to own-up to things you _did_ get wrong (like with editing notes, or something) then there's no discernible difference between "legit wrong" and "purposefully wrong." It's _such_ a cop-out to say "half the things we get wrong, we get wrong on purpose." Doesn't matter how intentional it was -- if there's no conveyance to the audience either explicitly or implicitly (e.g. in tone or surrounding context), then it just ends up being ignorant. At that point, _claiming_ "we meant to do that" doesn't really change that it comes across as stupid. It's an incredibly juvenile response to criticism.
Also, "at least 50% of the time" is an awful ratio, lol.
That really hurt my soul with the final scene of the suicide squad and the important message behind it all for cinema sins to make a wrong summarization of the scene and then on top of that, taking the tropes in the scene literally.
CinemaWins proved people actually want to enjoy things about movies, not nitpicking them to pieces. Only good thing about cinemasins was this channel being made as a reaction.
The thing about CinemaWins, for me, is that they just have a much stronger understanding of movies and what goes into them. Their videos are always chock full of little factiods and other useful info about what goes into these movies, and the movie-making process as a whole, to the point where each video feels like a fully fleshed out thesis paper, as opposed to just "here's all the good thing about movie" that their name would imply.
It's not just that their reviews are positive, they're just better made at the core.
I love his videos too it's just so optmistic and nice while being informative.
@@NerdMiGerd his sorta-ramble about the invisible man (2021) around the end was genuinely nice to hear, you can tell he cares a lot about the movie he's viewing and i gained more appreciation for that movie because it pointed out some things that i didn't notice on first watching. watched cs initially to find new things about the movies i watched and then stuck with cw because it showed enough appreciation of the story's themes and many of its elements. it's so much better to digest than constant negativity. guy just sticks to pointing out "this opening scene is genuinely engaging" or "the way you can tell the character is dealing with a lot of mixed emotions, the actor is really talented for pulling this off effectively" and i can just enjoy it as background noise or when i want to see someone else's interpretation of a movie i liked.
watching CW made me appreciate how gorgeous the lighting is in films! the details this channel points out made me have such an incredibly positive reaction to movies now.
a win to us!

I used to be an ardent fan of EWW, for some reason I fell out of touch with it because life happens. A handful of years later, in my early 30's, I remembered it and went back for a dose of nostalgic joy. Instead of roiling in laughter at takes about generally panned movies, I found it crass, grating, and sophomoric.
Do I regret my enjoyment of EWW and Cinema Sins? No. It was an escape at that time and place in my life. It has a solid place late 2000's/early-mid 2010's in RUclips up there with early College Humor and the like.
If they do grow and change then they will likely have scores to come back to their videos, if not, they will have Z and Alpha who will hopefully find joy in it and then grow and leave it behind.
