That's exactly what they are and always have been, though he does sprinkle a few valid criticisms here and there.

People just don't get it.

Cinema Sins is one of the best YouTube channels tbh, its way closer to a summary of the plot than an outright criticism, but the shit they point out does really get you thinking.

He notices funny things sometimes. Like in the Rick and Morty ones where he will point out when like a tree moved from one scene to another.

Cinemasins has the issue where whoever's writing the sins doesn't actually understand the movie (and probably didn't watch it with 100% focus because they were too busy writing jokes about it). I remember a combination of the Watchmen episode and the I, Robot episode convinced me that they actually have no fucking idea what they're talking about.

I quit watching the channel a short while later because their 'humor' got more and more pompous.

I agree. I lack the charisma to be an entertainer. Doesn't change that the channel has done nothing significant for film criticism.

While they may have made a career out of it, Cinemasins didn't invent looking at films through a lens of surface level nitpicks and a failure to engage with subtext or ambiguity. They mostly just appealed to large portion of film viewers who already do.

When it's stuff like that, it's fine. When it's a long diatribe about the coherence of the plot that's actually just dead-ass incorrect, then it becomes an issue of the writers for CinemaSins not paying enough attention.

Smarmy internet humor only works if you're actually correct. If someone's being an asshole and they're wrong, it's not even funny. They're just being an asshole.

I enjoy watching them despite them not being funny at all, but lately it seems like he's doing bits for extended periods of time, to the point where I'm telling the screen to shut the fuck up and get back to the movie.

It is annoying when they clearly didn't actually pay attention. The Emperor's New Groove one was where I truly noticed it.

The vids were good at first when they were 5 minutes long and pointed out minor details in a movie.
Now they are 20+ minutes and are just dedicated to nitpick every possible thing they can and it's insufferable.

Youre watching it wrong. Youre not supposed to take it seriously. Youre not supposed to take the sins as actual sins. They do not believe the things they are saying either. CinemaSins is from the AVGN and Nostalgia Critic era of accentuating the negative for a cheap joke. They will distort the truth and outright lie just for a laugh or smile. And thats just the nature of the shows format. As long as you know that going in, youll be fine. It was never intended to be a factual show yet some viewers watch it thinking it is and so they get angry when they know the movie in question. I think its better to watch episodes where you havent watched the movie so you dont know the context to the sins.

I think it's better to watch episodes for movies you have watched (or never plan on watching). Otherwise you get spoilers.

People who take it seriously when it's obviously a joke (something they even disclaim at the beginning iirc) deserve to be upset by it for being so humorless.

Oh they do get it and are paying attention. They just go into making episodes of intentionally misinterpreting movies. The only context required to each sin is what is shown on screen and what the commentary is for that sin. Of course a sin can be totally explained away by another scene in the movie but that isnt what they are going for.

Cinemasins was okay when the videos were no longer than 5 minutes.

But I stopped watching their stuff once it became apparent 20+ minute videos were going to be commonplace. At that point it's just looking for things to complain about.
