Why?

overly cynical and pedantic, not to mention they make a point to be humourous instead of logical

if they were dedicated to pointing out actual sins in movies then i wouldn't really have much of a problem, but they're meant to be entertaining more than thorough.

Elai · August 19, 2016, 11:00:26 AM

most of the sins aren't even sins

Well... yeah? Pretty sure they even say not to take them that seriously. Especially in the clearly joking sins.
I dunno, I've never had an issue with it.

then it serves no purpose because it's more annoying than entertaining.

Well then it comes down to personal preference then.

It's satire, why should I hate it?

Verbatim · August 19, 2016, 11:13:13 AM

Yeah, fuck CinemaSins.

I don't hate him for the pedantry, because I know it's just part of the show's humor, but I just don't think he's that funny. A lot of his more serious or calculated observations are pretty insipid and base, and demonstrate more often his ignorance of the film's plot than any inherent "sin" within the film itself. And yeah, he's just not funny at all.

"LOL THIS SCENE DOES NOT CONTAIN A LAPDANCE XD"

The best film reviewer on YouTube is probably Adam from yourmoviesucks.org, and even some of his opinions are pretty shit.

are you implying that satirical works are exempt from censure or criticism

Casper · August 19, 2016, 11:21:31 AM

No, I like him

MyNameIsCharlie · August 19, 2016, 11:50:35 AM

My issue is when they do older movies and reference newer ones.

I'm saying that Cinema sins makes the criticisms on their videos in humour instead of actual criticism. They have done some of their favorite movies and criticized the heck out of it.
It's all in good fun.

Yes, certain satire is inexcusable and should have repurcussions but Cinemasins hasn't done anything wrong with their content to piss me off.

except not be funny or entertaining, which is my point

Ian · August 19, 2016, 12:45:25 PM

I'm stilling waiting for him to sin the rest of the Star Trek TOS movies.

That's all up to opinion, if you don't enjoy it oh well.

Dietrich Six · August 19, 2016, 12:59:34 PM

Nah I find them funny.
The anime guy is p funny too.

Deleted · August 19, 2016, 04:49:57 PM

Which of your favorite movies did Cinema Sins just tear apart?

BaconShelf · August 19, 2016, 04:58:27 PM

I mainly keep subbed for when they do films I like. I never actually take them seriously because half the time they criticise something that gets explained either before if you pay attention or later on as part of the plot.

They're fun to watch though. Particularly the ones where they get NDT on. Stuff like The Martian, Interstellar and Gravity.

Honestly if i can't be bothered to watch a movie i just see if it's on cinema sins

A Cheese Potato · August 19, 2016, 06:42:23 PM

I got bored of their schtick a while ago

Jono · August 19, 2016, 07:00:19 PM

I used to watch their videos, but then they started to get extremely nitpicky, especially when it comes to movies that are great. I just got annoyed by them.

Ingy · August 19, 2016, 08:38:32 PM

Some of the earlier ones were good but now they're just too snobby and not funny at all
And they're way too long now pointing out continuity errors and boring shit

Outtakes are funny tho

Verbatim · August 19, 2016, 08:49:24 PM

Is there a reason he always cites the length of each video in their titles?

"Everything wrong with X in 10 minutes or less."

And then the video is almost always a little bit more than 10 minutes anyway.

Some are a lot longer.

Originally they were typically very short, like 2-3 minutes, and the title was emphasizing that. Eventually they became more popular and decided to increase their length. The "x in y minutes or less" format was popular at the time, and they stuck with it.

OT: I like their videos, though I tend to skip through some parts. They point out tropes and their meta jokes can be pretty fun when unexpected. Obviously they're not legitimately critiquing stuff. Folks that get butthurt about their misinterpretation of the plot don't seem to understand the point of the channel.
