[@mickael486]

so basically, if his movie was any good, he wouldn't mind actually critiquing other one's. especially the big Hollywood movies. The WHOLE POINT of movie critiquing is to tell your audience if it's good or bad... so now if he says it's great, it's good and if he says it's good that means it's bad.

Never thought of him as a professional critic, like a Roger Ebert or Mark Kermode. He's more of a movie fanboy giving his opinion. But both those guys above will criticise and be negative if reviewing some mess like POTC 5 Or number 10 of a crap franchise. It does seem HE can't take negativity said about him . Anyway it's a storm in a teacup just a KZbin thing.

It's weird how you refuses to review a movie because he doesn't want to bash the filmmaker, but he'll gladly bash the studio. It's not necessarily the studio's fault. If you own a business, and you hire somebody to do a job and then the person decides to do something Completely out of left field, most of the blame should be on the Employee, not the employer. Also, When you review a movie, you reviewing all aspects of it. Writing, directing, costumes/wardrobe, set pieces, CGI/practical effects, etc.

[@Linkman247]

He says he wants to be a champion for film. You can't be a champion for film if you aren't willing to call out bad films or bad practices regardless of who was responsible for the film turning out the way it did. He was soft on Dial of destiny too. In that regard I think Jeremy Jahns is a better "Champion for film".. Madame Webb is just another run of the mill female empowerment, strong wahmen piece of crap that have become a dime a dozen these days. I would also note this is from the same writers who did...gods of egypt, morbius, the last witch hunter, Ita almost like the studio shouldnt give projects to untested tv directors and writers that have proven they are a recipe for box office flops. Now I will agree with Chris that Madame Webb was likely just to retain the rights. Dakota Johnson herself even seems to have been misled thinking she was in a marvel film. Johnson even fired her agent. Sony's marketing showed women in spider suits which is not in the film at all. That said. That doesn't absolve the director of blame. The director could have refused or walked away. The director has the final say over the film and from what I have read and seen the cinematography is all over the place. Stuckmann may not want to be mean. But you can't expect a director or anyone to improve if you just blindly accept whatever is given. You can be critical without being a dick about it. But he isn't even willing to do that.

[@drewzalo]

I hear you but sometimes this is a just a pack check and often studios will make promises to directors to oversee a film like this and a budget will be given to a project they really want

You can't enter an industry and shit on the people that are more established than you. That's the guaranteed way to never make any headway, no one will want to work with you. It's not about defending shitty movies, but more about understanding how easy it is to be part of a project that fails.

[@graham5990]

@@Tylerson Ok then why be a movie critic??? That is the job title to critique movies. You don't need to crap on any person to say a film is awful or good. It's called MOVIE critic not director critic. One director can put out a fantastic movie then turn around and release trash. Take for example the movie Signs and The Sixth Sense which were phenomenal movies then that same director turns around and puts out something like The Happening or After Earth. You are not crapping on M. Night Shyamalan you're crapping on the terrible film that was put out. I guess you should never say anything bad about an artist if you every want to make it as an artist then. Or talk poorly about architecture if you want to be an architect. No you criticize what is bad and praise what is good it's simple.

He's doing well. I don't think he's done anything that really justifies the level of hate he's gotten.

Longlegs for instance I went out and took my 2 nephews and 3 tickets with popcorn, candy, and drinks was 104 effing dollars lol. I just watch the channels to try and save myself some money, but even then there have been movies they crapped on that I enjoyed and movies they said were good that I truly wasn't a fan of...............like Longlegs.

With Madame Web, it's obvious it was terrible and he didn't need to review it and echo what countless others had said. He had some thoughts he wanted to say to add to the conversation. That doesn't make him a fraud. He's being true to his perspective and what he wants his channel to be. If you don't like it, just ignore him. Find a real critic if that's what you're after.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

If I'm getting a preview of a film that looks fantastic, I pony up the money, drop the cash at the box office, and watch a film so horrible that it hardly reflected what was in the preview, I'm going to be damn critical about it. With that much time, effort, and money going into a movie, it's the filmmaker's duty to make a great film. It's also up to the studio to allow the filmmakers to do their job. When I see a great movie, I praise it and recommend it. A s!ht movie, gets criticized and trashed, especially if I spend my money and time to go and see it.

[@Thomas15]

He didn’t review Madame Web and didn’t claim to be reviewing it. In fact, he specifically said his video _wasn’t_ a review. He also wasn’t defending Madame Web or its director. Anyone with a brain cell could infer that he thinks it’s a bad film. His point was that it’s difficult to know where the filmmakers intentions end and the studios demands begin.

[@sandmancinema6859]

I said that. And that's why I put review in quotes in the title. And he was defending the director. He put all the blame on the studio. And he doesn't know how much the quality of the film was hindered by the studio. And how much was the directors fault. He has no inside knowledge. Also if the film was good, would he also be praising the studio? Or would he put all the praise on the director? And like I said in the video. I already knew it wasn't going to be a review since he doesn't criticize films anymore.

[@Thomas15]

@@sandmancinema6859 He very clearly said he didn’t know how much studio interference, if any, applies to Madame Web, but inferred it was likely given the film inexperience of the director. When he talked about studio interference he was speaking more broadly than just this film, or even just Sony. He wasn’t defending this director specifically, he was just not assuming that all the problems with the film were down to her decisions. You’re right that he doesn’t have inside information and therefore doesn’t know if the director or the studio is more responsible for the film’s failure, but then neither do you or any of the other KZbin commentators know this, but that hasn’t stopped you/them from assuming the director is wholly responsible whilst simultaneously criticising Stuckmann for supposedly making the opposite assumption.

I've watched him sometimes. I never called him a critic, more a movie fan talking movies or as we say FILM. But nice enough guy. BUT just coz he made a small film project it doesn't mean you can't say a film is bad if it IS. Personally I like and respect Mark Kermode 👍, a UK based critic who has done TV, Internet, vlogs and radio and writes for print media. Probably has more film education than anyone I know but also he doesn't take himself too seriously. Mark Kermode has contacts with many film Directors, Friends with William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin and made an Exorcist documentary and did the fwd to a physical release. But point is he still reviews film and if it's bad then he says so. Sometimes you get a director, cinematographer, Wardrobe who just don't know WTF they are doing, that's a FACT. I have done construction on some big sets in the past and been in and around Film sets a lot of my life. Used to go Toronto film Festival and Sundance and others but not so much as I had an accident, so Chris is by far Not the only person to know how hard the film business is and how hard it is. But seriously a LOT of them need negative feedback when the project isn't produced and Directed properly. The good famous Directors we all know are a 1% when it comes to all of them, Ridley,Martin,Chris, Denis, Francis,Spielberg and PTA etc etc etc. Most welcome have never heard of , Personally I HATE the Asylum and mock busters who do straight to video BS riding the coattails of Big budget decently made films by changing ONE word in the title. So end of the day Chris seems an OK guy, it's cool he did his passion project and he can do WTF he wants on KZbin. I'm just saying it's still cool to give negative feedback about film, constructive negative feedback. I wouldn't expect him at his age to take a hammer to a blu ray but even Kermode will call out crap films or badly directed films. Mr Stuckman needs to learn to take criticism and not give a $h!# what people say. I never subscribed so he ain't going to care but I do check in now and then. We all now KZbin and personally I Hate the cult of how they label people famous for being a youtuber and slam them over petty crap or loosing 10k subs ???? Who gives a ####. Don't think Chris was ever nasty or like that got who's either a drunk reviewer or pretends to be for his niche YT trick. Either way I'm not a fan.

@@sandmancinema6859 in your opinion. And why do you care so much about what Chris Stuckmann is doing with his life? Oh, that’s right, you don’t. Clicks is what you care about. He stated two years ago that he is no longer a critic. Really, think about it, you’re mad that someone you don’t know and will never know didn’t trash a marvel movie you didn’t like. Grow up. And while you promote him and plaster his face on your thumbnail, he’s doing his thing and not paying no mind to you little peons! Peace!

[@sandmancinema6859]

@ob8755 Their is a reason why his Madame Web video got so much heat. Because its one thing not to talk about the film. Its another make a video to say your not going to be critical of the film. Which is actually calling the film terrible by omission. Then calling out everyone but the director despite no evidence or knowledge who is actually responsible. Not to mention that takes away the directors agency. And if anyone needs to grow up its you. Follow some real critics. Have a great day.

Perhaps - "There is a contingent of people that think Chris Stuckmann, despite having almost 2 million subs, has stopped being critical of films. He is not only one of the blandest critics out there but now is barely a critic at all. Recently he only makes reviews of films he likes largely because he wants to become a director.

God this is cringe. Not everyone wants to hear negative trash about films. Most of us are subscribed to different reviewers who all have their own spin on things. I like Critical Drinker and I like Chris Stuckmann. We’re allowed variety in who we listen to. Maybe don’t tear down other successful KZbinrs and focus on your own success.

[@sandmancinema6859]

You don't think its weird that a film critic says he's going to distance himself from film criticism? To me that is cringe. Thats like a rapper saying he's going to stop rhyming but still do rap songs. A cop that is going to stop arresting people but still be a cop. I could keep going but I think you get the point. And I'm allowed to criticize Chris just like you are allowed to do the same to me or whatever you want to criticize. It would be cringe to say either your not allowed to. Or that you should stop because you can't bite the hand that feeds.

[@agustinsilva2247]

Let me ask you a question, a legit question. Are you mad at him? Or jealous? Who gives a shit if he chooses to criticize a movie or not. He still has 2 million followers and still gets thousands upon thousands of views on his videos till this day. You only have 4 thousand. Are you mad, hating or jealous? Theres a reason he still has millions of followers and you don't. Humble yourself big dawg. Lmao

[@sandmancinema6859]

So if I don't like a successful movie or actor or another KZbinr that means I'm jealous. If you had a smaller channel would that make you jealous of me? We all have opinions and judge others. And Chris has been doing this over a decade as oppose to me a year. And if you think a critic who doesn't criticize movies is great thing. Good for you. I think that's kind the job of a critic.

[@sandmancinema6859]

Coming from the Chris Stuckmann fan who uses the same tired comeback. Your jealous, thats rich. So anytime you criticize someone more successful than you its jealousy. So are you jealous of me? When Chris used to have principals. And he criticized filmmakers. Was he just jealous of them? Also notice alot of his fans can't defend him being a bland or a sell out. So they have to attack someone calling a spade and spade.

[@michaelmaloskyjr]

@@sandmancinema6859 lol jealous of you? I could care less about clicks, "image" and content creators -- I have a job. When I was at Ithaca C. many, many years ago, I interviewed Terrence Rafferty from the New Yorker who had recently taken over the job from the retiring Queen herself. (btw, if that sentence makes no sense to you, if you don't know who the Queen was, you can't call yourself a "film critic.") Anyway, I just chuckle to myself reading the level of thought in your reply and looking over my interview with Rafferty. "when Chris used to have principals" "alot of his fans can't defend him being bland or a sell out" "calling a spade and spade." Seriously, before you continue calling yourself a film critic, learn coherent thinking, basic grammar and a passing level of written articulation. Oh and lastly, your reply demonstrates my overall point -- you don't make valid arguments; you resort to ad hominems, period. Look at almost every video title in your catalog: They almost all contain some pejorative adjective, rhetorical cliche or personal disparaging dig. So, i.e., you think Stuckman's "bland" and sold out to...? Okay, opinion noted. Usually, when one film reviewer disagrees with another reviewer, it's THE review in question, not the person. Hope you can make the time before editing another screed and dive into some requisite Pauline and Terrence reviews.

[@sandmancinema6859]

​@@michaelmaloskyjr Pretentious, longwinded and lacking self awareness. A very potent combination. So I succinctly reply to your comment. And you come back with an actual screed. Talking about how you interviewed Terrence Rafferty. I have no way of verifying anything you say, based on your profile. So that is worthless. Then ramble about how I’m a terrible writer based on a short comment. And my grammar is awful. Again the self awareness to write what you wrote. And say I have terrible grammar, okay. Coming from the guy who starts his comment with lol. Also you're the one who said I'm jealous based off nothing. Because I had the temerity to criticize the great Chris Stuckmann. But let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Since you seem to present yourself as a film critic authority. How would Pauline feel about Chris? Would she approve of him distancing himself from film criticism, while still reviewing films? You find no problem with a critic saying he is going to distance himself from film criticism, while still reviewing films? When it is pretty clear that he is only doing it not to ruffle feathers. Also could you tell me your assessment of Chris as a critic.

[@raoulduke344]

​@@michaelmaloskyjrIn the first two sentences you start with (an uncapitalised) "lol" then, in your second, you say "I could care less" when you mean "I couldn't care less", since saying you "could care less" means you, in fact, do care about something. You say to the channel-owner "before you continue calling yourself a film critic", like you're an authority on the subject, but don't seem to understand why he doesn't like a critic who refuses to criticise (which is valid; it's not an _ad hominem_ attack). Were you in such a hurry to brag about name-dropping and writing a piece for the New Yorker that you made quite a few elementary mistakes? Surely not. I mean, you've learnt "coherent thinking, basic grammar and a passing level of written articulation". Terrence Rafferty would be very disappointed.

Because I point out a critic saying he's distancing himself from criticism. An obviously embarrassing thing to say considering he's still making reviews.

So your only justification is to say everyone who points this out are jealous losers. Nice cope.
