I was also eventually introduced to CineMAREsins (on only My Little Pony), which originally I was uneasy about, but that guy’s jokes are often actually funny and can point out genuine flaws in the series.

Ratatouille, of all movies, had a good little speech that really applies to Cinema Sins: “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.

CinemaSins is the ultimate Schrödinger’s Joke: it’s a joke if you disagree with their points; it’s a valid review if you agree with them.

[@shaggyrogers7986]

It's always been a joke. Their valid critcism is a part of a joke, so it's not criticism, but there to "act" as fun.

[@claudiocambria]

Shaggy missing the point of this entire video. CS makes mistakes in their videos constantly, and people think it’s a valid point but it isn’t. You can have fun with dissecting a film and discussing it, but CS gets it wrong on so many levels and then gets mad about being called out for it. They also play it all off as a joke on one hand, and then will say they are reviewers and it’s always this flipflop. So you have some people who think it’s a joke and have a good laugh, and if that’s all CS was then cool, but people do actually use them as an honest review channel and CS won’t correct those people on it. In this video there’s proof in interviews by the creators of CS who’ve stated in multiple interviews they’re a joke and in many more interviews say they’re giving a review, so doing that means we as viewers are somehow tasked with deciphering which is which even in the same CS video. It’s absurd.

[@Ze_eT]

@@claudiocambria Even the ones who take it as a joke have got a problem since they think everything is a joke.

@@shaggyrogers7986 I want to add what their jokes are. Boner jokes and level 1 jokes. Level 1 jokes are jokes that would break the rule of Pixar, to not pick the first thing that comes to mind. Especially considering how CinemaSins thinks they are so comedic they make even worse jokes than if they just did L1 jokes.

[@mphylo2296]

Not only that, but their brand of criticism is ironically extremely dumbed-down and examines films on a very superficial level.

[@kidkap4]

If fanfiction has taught me anything, it’s that clichés are good. They have to be utilised well, but they’re good. Because, sometimes, life is “cliché.” Having clichés just makes a story fun because it’s an opportunity for the creators to play with clichés in different ways.

[@SpoonyBard88]

Cliches aren't a even really a tool or a deliberate effort. They're just patterns that line up across the history of storytelling because humans respond to specific themes, characters, and events, so they naturally become part of tons of different stories. Writers don't sit down and open up the Big Book of Cliches to pull from. They're pulling from history, literature, and their own experiences, and it might blow some peoples minds to realize that the human experience tends to be pretty relateable.

[@pyronuke4768]

@@SpoonyBard88 technically those patterns are called "tropes", a cliché is a trope that has been so overused that the original meaning has been lost. Cinemasins uses the two terms so interchangeably that I don't think they know what the difference is; to them, cliché is just a buzz word to throw around when you notice said pattern. Ironically, they've used the word cliché so much that it has become in and of itself a cliché to them, without them ever realizing it.

[@-TheUnkownUser]

To some degree, the fact that I read certain genres, including fanfiction, means I WANT to see certain cliches.

I click those stories BECAUSE I know pretty much exactly what I'm going to get.

I had a roommate once, a peaceful, curious person. Told them that seeing Blade Runner 2049 in theaters was my favorite cinematic experience of all time. They snarkily responded something in the lines of "I've watched the CinemaSins review, that shit looks boring as fuck". I'm still shocked to this day, partly because my fanboy feelings got hurt, partly because of CinemaSins prompting such a dickish response from someone that usually never talks shit about anything.

Not to mention that his rant is actually a very valid criticism of the live action remakes that Disney keeps making. But the Winnie the Pooh film (Christopher Robin) is not one of them. It is an original story about an older Christopher Robin, and only loosely inspired by the last chapter of The House at Pooh Corner.

Exposition must make sense according to story's context, or else it seems like characters explaining for the spectator, which is horrendous in regards to "show, don't tell" and sense, given spectators don't exist within the story (there may be exceptions the latter, however they aren't the rule).

I've noticed they frequently give sins for plot holes that aren't plot holes or things that were actually done correctly. For example, they gave a sin for fish people not spitting out air when startled underwater. Which...they have gills. Why would they spit bubbles? I know fish sometimes do release bubbles, but that's usually when they're adjusting their buoyancy by releasing air from their swim bladders, not when they're spitting out food. And I know this is a random and overly specific example, it's just that it frustrated me because the animators had actually animated everything correctly right there.

[@thegrapethief5514]

The worst ones are during thriller or mystery movies where they say “wHaTs GoInG oN wErE gIvEn No ExPlAnAtIoN mOvIe JuSt TeRrIbLe” for stuff that will INEVITABLY be explained later. They are sinning a mystery movie for not explaining everything immediately or leaving stuff up to interpretation until the end, which would defeat the entire purpose of it being, you know, A MOTHERF*CKING MYSTERY. And in the case of thrillers, I guess they’d rather have them kill all suspense and intrigue by laying out exactly what is happening at any given point. They’ll be like “the camera zooms in on x character smirking, but we aren’t told why this is happening. Why is he smiling? Why does the camera feel the need to show us this? The movie makes no sense.” Gee fella, it’s almost like that’s something they wanted you to see, maybe it’s even _gasp_ a CLUE?!

The sin given on Get Out's traffic stop scene doesn't really work at any level. If she's been working Chris for months, why would she not continue doing things to endear herself to him? How is the audience expected to buy into their relationship if it's only told to us that they've been in a relationship for months, and not shown in a concise scene at the beginning of the movie? How is the reveal leading into the climax supposed to be impactful if we aren't first led to believe that Rose could be trusted to stand up for Chris?

[@beancheesedip8337]

That drives me nuts too. That style of criticism where what the art is trying to convey is less important than the flashing pictures, the emotions it's trying to illicit is less interesting than the plothole-free story, and it's messages and meaning are far less integral to the perceived rightness of the critic. I think it encourages the lazy "I make *objective* reviews" way of criticism, where the most literal, surface level chain of events is the most talked about rather than what it has to offer. It's intellectual laziness, where deliberate choices are attacked as "flaws" since thinking about *why* the choice was made is less satisfying than complaining that the choice was made at all. I hate it when people say "well I don't see *you* making a movie," but with people like CinemaSins or MauLer (to a lesser extent than CS) and the countless brain dead morons in KZbin comments like myself that just say "thing is wrong."

It also lacks the perspective that certain films are made by and for different people, and that you not relating to a film doesn't make it inherently bad, but instead offers a different idea than what you are familiar with.

The point of Breast Cancer Awareness is to educate all people, young and old, on breast cancer and what to look out for. As well as encourage people to raise money for research to better treat it. There's plenty of good reasons to have BCA Month. And as long as people are donating to good, reliable charities, it's not hurting anyone??? It just amazes me that someone was so inclined to make a video bashing Breast Cancer Awareness for making people over-aware. It's just...something that's not an issue. There's nothing wrong with over-educating people on breast cancer, you wet sock. Geez, that one really pissed me off.

I only started watching them recently, and I already felt like I needed to stop. A year ago I was really hyperfixated on The Hunchback of Notre Dame (disney) and I was rewatching it almost everyday, I even memorised the songs by heart! And then I watched Cinemasins video of it. He said the music sucks, and in the end gave 15 sins for a happy ending that was "just flat out dumb" The other night I watched all the 3 Night at the museum movies in one sitting, and was absolutely amazed by them. I spend my whole day drawing Ahkmenrah and realising the deeper meaning of the story. So I decided to watch Cinemasins video of it and oh my god. He gave atleast 10 sins for Larry just existing, and without explanation for the fact that Rami Malek plays Ahkmenrah?! I still don't undertsand that one along with sinning "plotholes" that are explanied in either the other films or in the same movie, or by common sense.

It's really crazy how a lot of the disinformation stuff they do (of which, now that I've looked back at it, there is TON) just flew over my head. By doing that, they made me question and doubt the stuff that I loved about the movie in the first place, like they just went in my memory and filled it up with half-baked, non-constructive garbage. I didn't even think about it, until I saw this video, so thank you!

[@Ruisu101]

One of the repeating sins in their videos is "that's racist." That bugged me most about them because at least half the time they're straight up wrong-as if the definition of racism hasn't been twisted and misconstrued enough by people already, they're intentionally disinforming viewers (they do it infrequently and erratically enough to add ambiguity as to whether or not they're really joking). That actually pisses me off about people in general but these wankers use a platform to spread disinformation.

Said something that might offend a particular demographic? That's racist. Making fun of anyone for anything ever? _So racist._ Then like one instance of actual racism being called out as such. I'm sure it was a part of the movie's narrative though; it wasn't in there because the writer was inadvertently racist. A joke is only funny if the audience gets it and if it makes sense according to whatever premise is set. At least half of the "that's racist" marks they put up aren't funny in any way... So unless it's a far-fetched inside jab at people who do call everything out as racist wholeheartedly then I' won't differentiate between CinemaSins and the rest of the idiots misusing language on the internet.

[@medalion1390]

I think part of the problem is also the fact that CinemaSins are essentially a victim of their own success. They've managed to grow this massive brand which is all based around a specific formula... but that also means that they constantly need new material to work with. With something like MST3K, they were always specifically riffing on crappy old, forgotten movies, but CinemaSins needs to stay relevant and appease the KZbin algorithm, so they're forced to make videos on every new movie that comes out, and the reality is that not _every single thing_ released these days is plothole-filled trash worthy of this treatment. So what ends up happening a lot of the time is they have to invent problems, conveniently ignore plot points, and dishonestly misrepresent the material in order fill their running time. This is all made worse considering the amount of people who will often happily admit to only watching the CinemaSins videos, and not the actual films they're critiquing, because they'll ultimately go away thinking it's an accurate representation.

Still supports the same garbage content network, so no. The CinemaWins videos often miss the point of films as well. Edit: I see a lot of CW fans getting triggered. By "network," I mean they promote each other, and most of the content in CS's related channels are awful lists. I'm aware that CW began on his own. I followed him when he first started. Yes, he's infinitely better than CS, but that's a low bar. The format doesn't lend itself to much discussion, and both their audiences go on a sort of autopilot when watching their content, not noticing how much they avoid discussion by glossing over quick points. Even if they point something out that you didn't notice isn't that impressive considering that any assembly line of movie lists is bound to eventually have some actual content in there. I get that CW is trying to do a positive thing, but most of what he points out is either obvious or misdirected praise towards things that he actually misunderstands. Still, he and his audience have a better chance at learning about movies as a community than CS ever could. I'm just saying that, at some point, everyone should grow out of that network of "movie list" content if they actually have an interest in film discussion.

Whenever a new Star Wars movie came out he'd sin the previous one? Same with the marvel movies. That's the very definition of clickbait: getting you to check it out because it or something close to it is fresh on people's minds.

Bit of a rant here, but their Video on Speed Racer was the one to convince me Cinema Sins are nothing but a bunch of sellouts. For years me and other Speed Racer aficionados have been asking for a review of the movie, and when we weren't ghosted the reply was along the lines of "we'll think about it, but we have a lot of backlog to get through right now." (Which is CS slang for "I don't care about some stupid movie you like") Then out of the blue they release their Speed Racer review. Why? Because a few weeks earlier it was making the rounds with online movie reviewers. For about a week and a half there was a back and forth on if the movie still held up or not. Now I normally don't watch CS anymore but I had to see this riff on a guilty pleasure of mine. The overall tone of the video was "this movie is stupid, predictable, sucks, I can't stand the visuals, and I honestly couldn't give two fucking shits about it." I've noticed recently that the only reason Cinema Sins will choose a movie to review is because A) It's popular/ people are talking about it right now; or B) he needs a filler episode. And when you watch it you can usually tell which reason he had chose it for.

@@pyronuke4768 I don't think it's a bad thing to be aware of trends (things like making releases relevant to current events and media)- but the popular style of intentionally inducing rage isn't healthy.

When everyone's doing it, viewers are bouncing from page to page clicking on inflammatory headlines, or titles they know will lead to inflammatory content. Some of it has the nerve to pose as "journalism", which isn't a new thing but may subtly (or less so) imply there's a level of respectability or authority behind it, when it's really just the opinion of someone who hasn't even bothered to watch the thing they're complaining about. I think it's harmful because of the effect it has on relations between other people, and because it damages art. People are primed to seek and capture that feeling of rage, and have it in the back of their mind that something is bad which taints their view of it if they do see it. Things that could be enjoyable or at least sufficient get buried under hate and trying to optimize around that has the potential to degrade future productions as well.

Like, not just disagreeing with whether or not something is a sin, but sinning something in such a wildly popular movie that didn’t even happen in the movie. Dudes coulda shouted out the window to fact check and people coulda told them “nah boss, that’s not accurate.” Seemed lazy and still wasn’t funny.

I used to watch Cinemasins until I caught onto them sinning things for not making sense when said things were actually explained or made sense in context

[@XardiusOnline]

Yeah I used to think their stuff was funny but their more recent videos I just cringe mostly. After watching this, I'm just dropping the channel.

pop culture reference, *ding* wow i feel like nic cage

[@ragreenburg]

This is also what eventually got me. They'd do something like sin something for not being explain but if you watched the movie it was actually explained.

[@anayos6726]

blondaibonsai Jeremy uses a LOT of the same jokes. Actually, he’s been doing those same jokes for fucking years. I’m surprised no one has even called him out on that in one of his videos. Along with not understanding criticism and film, he also doesn’t even understand comedy. You don’t make the same joke 50 fucking times in a row.

I thought for weeks that I was hearing my neighbor's windchimes tinkling in the breeze. Turns out my roommate only watches cinema sins, over and over and over and over.

[@justinz9225]

Honestly, why does he sin narration? He never even explains it. Having a narrator is automatically a bad thing? This makes no sense. He must hate Scrubs.

I've found that it's not just CinemaSins who uses the "It's a joke." defense on KZbin. We've approached the point where any time a content creator shows a part of their personality or does something wrong, it's labelled as a joke that we just don't get. Not only does this hurt the community of KZbin by allowing just awful behavior and content to slide by 'virtue' of it being comedic. It hurts people who are genuinely just trying to be funny by eroding the good faith that genuine comedians should get. And if you don't really understand that, then think of it this way. There have been people who voiced some racist, sexist or just horrendously awful shit and claimed it was a joke. After that, other comedians who tell jokes about these things may get painted as a racist or a sexist. Rather than knowing that they're just jokes and not a dogwhistle.

Hate speech is free speech, sweetheart.

CinemaSins also awkwardly brings up his college girlfriend every now and again for some reason. It feels like some attachment issue he's insinuating about in his videos.
