LOL check out this old video of Chris Stuckmann

[Guestx]

It doesn't matter. My only curiosity was why you'd watch someone who pitches to a general audience when you're pretty informed already. You find him likable, fair enough.

I enjoy getting his perspective. It's as simple as that.

I don't feel like his reviews tend to be any more or less insightful than established professional critics.

As a matter of fact, why don't we compare? Richard Roeper, as I'm sure you know, used to be Ebert's companion.

What do you think of the quality of these two reviews? One from Chris Stuckmann; the other from one half of Ebert and Roper At the Movies.

His normal reviews are generally 6-10 min long but he actually has a separate series of longer video for critical analysis. I found him on youtube through his analysis of a very interesting movie Enemy.



If you sort his video list by popularity, you will see some other movie analysis as well.

Indeed.

Yeah, I know. I have watched his analysis of Only God Forgives.

I'm just saying that his regular reviews are just reviews. You can't expect them to be detailed breakdowns of the films.

Name a better YouTube reviewer

Double Toasted

His likability has a lot to do with it.

He wrote a book too

Its on amazon and has 5 stars on 90 reviews iirc

He has come a long way from that dorky haircut

Yeah, I don't think I'm into the Chris enough to buy his book, but I respect his hustle.

A medicore youtube reviewer with an over inflated sense of his own understanding of cinema who plays to the lowest common denominator too often?

spot on.
