not sure why (i haven't seen it myself), but i feel like this is a bit of a victory for good in the world. like we should all give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done.
i assume at some point it will pop up on streaming sites outside of hbomax, & when it does i'll probably give it a try. maybe my rock-bottom expectations will allow me to enjoy it a little.
i agree that the first ww movie was surprisingly good.
That has become my policy - wait until it appears in my monthly streaming service. What I have been doing is watching older movies and shows that I missed during their initial run. Recently I watched City Island with Andy Garcia. Totally missed it when it was in theaters and i thought it was a really good movie.
Why is that youtuber a top critic? Any idiot with a webcam can become one now?
I just checked the summary of the rotten reviews and they read more like tweets from anonymous accounts rather than professional critics. This is why Metacritic is a better website. They have standards.
Not really. You are making out that because he is on youtube he can't be a critic and calling him an "idiot with a webcam"
Who the hell reads printed newspapers anymore?
Youtube is the new media as you put it. He has 1.8 million subscribers.
I don't need to goto film studies course to critique a film.
Critic = Noun = a person who judges the merits of literary or artistic works, especially one who does so professionally.
If his youtube channel is his full time job which i assume it is then how is he not a critic based on the definition. You can argue if he is a good or bad critic but just because he isn't employed by a local newsaper (which i find strange example) has no merit.
You don't have to go to school to study something. But if this was the 90's, Chris Stuckmann and Doug Walker would be two of the most read film critics in the world. I don't always agree with either of them, but if you watch their reviews you'll see that they know what they're talking about.
You see, there's a huge difference between someone like Jake Paul who as millions of subs because people like watching douchebags being douchebags, and someone line Chris who as millions of subs because people actually wants to hear what he has to say.

This didn't age well
Rotten Tomatoes Critic = 60%
Rotten Tomatoes User = 74%
So critics on both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes gave it the same score. How wierd, I thought Metacritic had standards. I guess Metacritic also has "Any idiot with a webcam" to be critics.
I just watched it. I mean, it's not great, but I thought it was watchable. Didn't feel like a total waste of time - as in, I don't regret having seen it.
so, this is how the internet works:
1. you post a perspective relating to you about something for other people around the planet to read
2. they interpolate your experience with their own, then respond with similar, yet sometimes opposite perspective, and that's okay.
3. then you absorb their perspective (which is causality from your first post) and either enjoy or become annoyed at it enough to post something else back in response.
It's a back and forth process human's call "communication" and the internet makes it all pretty cool to use.
Following this simple 3 step process, you can further your enlightenment, learn, and even grow your communication skills.*

Only someone extremely immature, both mentally and emotionally, could say something like that.
But of course the irony of that escapes you. [shrug]
