No, Chris now has a new perspective from working on a movie. Chris also doesn't want to come off as having some sort of ego where he thinks he is an airhead and better than others that have been in the industry a lot longer. Personalities who act like that they think they can do better are just unlikable. Chris believes in a new perspective now that he has worked on making a movie and he has grown up from the days of being a critic. I don't think he has a problem with critics except of the critics that are just culture war weirdos

That was the first thing I thought of. Siskel & Ebert and the critics from that era weren't worried about losing studio access by pissing people off because of a bad review. Their focus was on reviewing the movie as they saw it. Which gave their criticisms merit. I mean, why even have movie critics if they are just going to softball everything and make excuses for the movie? From Stuckmann to Rotten Tomatoes you can count on a positive review if the movie has a certain director/actor or message that they like. And a negative review if it doesn't contain those things. Moviegoers see right through that.

Him not reviewing the movie means he "in his mind" is not selling his soul to viewers' expectations and is a form of quiet quitting, but in his hardcore viewers opinion gained him tons of credibility. If he can no longer be considered a critic anymore he is fine by that as he doesn't care to feed algorithms to maintain a label.

I'm shocked to learn that people have the same feelings that I've had since 2021: I'm glad Chris is following his dreams, but I don't think he should be considered a film critic anymore. Not gonna lie, I felt like I was the only one who was slowly watching his videos less overtime unless it's for a topic that sounds interesting or a review for a movie that I just finished watching myself. Nowadays if I see a review up on his channel, I know it's a movie that he would positively rate (he's mentioned that he won't review movies that he would give less than a B-) and if there's a movie he doesn't review I assume he either hasn't seen it or didn't like. So I don't feel the need to watch it 99% of the time, I just need to know if the video exists and I already know his thoughts. I feel kinda bad saying all of this especially since I've been following his videos since 2016, but seeing others talk about it makes me kinda sad that I'm not alone on this. A film critic's job is to criticize the movies they watch and let others know if its worth seeing or not. Again, I'm glad to see Chris following his lifelong dream of being a director, but I don't think Chris deserves the title of a critic anymore.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. I would have more respect for Chris if he stopped KZread and went all in on his new role as a filmmaker, but he doesn’t want to give up the KZread dollars.

100% I’m so glad you said something! If you can’t critique something, there is no way it can ever improve.

I like Stuckman, I really do, but I gotta agree with you. I think the one thing he possibly didn't consider, though I don't know that it's had an effect, is that if I already know how you feel about a film simply by a video existing then why would I click on it and spend 10mins watching it?

I stopped liking Stuckmann when it became clear that his analyses and notes are misleading and he fakes being a fan of certain movies just to fit in with the majority. If you've watched the movie, you can easily poke holes in his review of it.

I don't like some of the "Critical Drinker's" videos, but at least I watch them before criticizing them. I'm a bit older than you, but I notice some commonality with your and other's comments on creators with whom they disagree with, "I don't watch their videos but here is what I've heard". Just an old Gen Xer's opinion. I'm most likely less than ten years away from telling kids to "get off my lawn". As always I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into making your videos. I appreciate it.

I guess I just wasn't clear as I tend to run hot on some of these. I have seen his stuff in the past (along with others in his circle) and I didn't care for the content. I said I haven't seen them lately so perhaps they had pivoted or changed approach.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply. I don't make videos, and I appreciate that you do. Your production and editing are excellent and I sure it takes a lot of work. It doesn't seem to make much difference anymore, but I only comment on videos I've watched, in their entirety. You are welcome to assume or infer what you like, but I think you are good enough not to use rumor or inference to form impressions of others. Not listening shows weakness, listening gives you rational issues in which to make your argument. Thank you again for the work you do making videos.@@AdamDoesMovies

I think it all started with the backlash towards his Batman v. Superman rewrite incident where he tried to suggest a different way of approaching the movie through a script that he didn’t really put a lot of effort into it because he was in a hurry, but people trashed him beyond all recognition for it. Watch his worst movies of the year videos from then onward up until 2018 when he did his best of the year, his change in demeanor becomes more noticeable. He got a taste of the criticism that he dished out and he hasn’t been the same since.

Videos like this are why you have been my guy forever now Adam. We need to bring back passion in critique. I miss when people would give their raw, actual opinions. Long live the angry critic!

I really don't see why people care about this. Chris Stuckmann said he no longer considers himself a movie critic and just wants to make his channel about film appreciation. He never said you shouldn't criticize movies he just said he didn't want to do it anymore. This whole thing is a big nothing burger that got wildly blown out of proportion.

The take on Critical Drinker and the like is spot on! They sound angry at the culture and project it onto movies. Of course some movies are going to be made for women!!!! Doesn’t automatically make them bad movies or that they are only made to push an agenda!

Have you actually watched his reviews? I've watched almost all of them, and I don't recall a single time where he criticized a movie for simply being made for woman. He gives objective criticisms, not misguided projection sessions.

I agree, just because you work hard doesn't mean you win. If it sucks and doesn't make money, it doesn't matter. People care about results.

Is that why he's calling out the studio meddling in the creative process?

I do feel sooooo bad for them. Having their $100 breakfasts, $200 lunches, $1000 dinners. Alll the ASSISTANTS to do your bidding and the PAY that they don't even have to negotiate, their AGENT does it for them. "Working" for six MONTHS and getting paid like it was DECADES.

Remind me not to feel bad for you when you get rich someday.

I get the not wanting to make videos on stuff he doesn't like. For him it's probably like putting energy and time into negativity while people out there are already rage-bashing movies nowadays. Plenty of creators on KZread only talk about stuff they like. But I believe that kinda takes him out of the movie critic category.

1:42 Critical Drinker's side, along with Nerdrotic, Geeks and Gamers among others also have A LOT of videos praising good movies and tv shows over the years. Drinker has "Drinker Recommends" videos (with tons of movie recommendatios l), Nerdrotic has videos and live streams reviwing and praising shows such as HOTD, One piece, Reacher and others. It's not all criticizing, it's just the bad stuff overshadow the good reviews because the former has so many of right now

I 100% agree. Once a fan of Stuckman and now he’s made a “Movie” HE has decided that no one can level any type of criticism towards any movie ever. Stuckman is the voice of Hollywood.

He said He didn't wanna be blacklisted in Hollywood through negative feedback of reviews when he was gaining traction. Sadly He assassinated a great portion of his niche due to wanting a cleaner image. Basically he'd like to sell out. It sucks because his perspectives were so varied in how he felt about bad projects that we as viewers could get a better aspect of what was waste of studio development.

His critiques were never original or substantial, though.

In my opinion, Disney fully deserves most of its criticism (except for the whole Gina Carano thing, because she actually was a horrible person and deserved to be fired), but most of the haters take their criticism out of context and hate on wokeism in general. In the comments under one video I saw someone who loves the fact that gay marriages still aren’t allowed worldwide. Guys, I used to agree with you, why are you hating on me now?

These are the same show runners who were involved in the HBO 35 million dollar prequel to game of thrones “Blood Moon “ that HBO reviewed then TRASHED after seeing it!😂😂

Stuckmann gave The Dial of Destiny a positive review. What else do you need to know?

I dont watch any of these channels... let me tell you all about them! 🎶dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb🎶

I'm excited that you see the opportunity in front of you and are speaking about it. Look forward to when you hit 100k, you deserve it Adam!

You don't have to be able to cook to know if something tastes good or bad. Taste changes with environment and with age. It is not a matter of right or wrong.

Right! His "honest take" comes off as "I'm jealous I'll never be a filmmaker like Chris". He also Claims to not present himself as an "expert movie critic or a snob or someone who thinks his opinions are right", although is crappy little YT channel says otherwise. He's pretentious, egotistical and I can't image any cast or crew would ever want to work with someone like this. Thankfully Chris is the complete opposite, mature and respectable. Chris is a true movie lover and will go far as a Writer and Director.

I'm an engineer. If the product we deliver fails then me and the team involved on it are responsible for it. There's no vague higher force like "executives" that we can use as scapegoats. That's how every job in the world works, unless there's clear evidence pointing to the contrary. But it seems like the entertainment industry is an irrational exception to this. People all of a sudden try to use emotions over logic. The director, writers and actors are NEVER at fault, it's always the "studio" that can make mistakes. The crowd sees the former as more human than the latter, and that's genuinely concerning.

@encycl07pedia-

Exactly. Stuckmann blaming everything bad in Madame Web on the studios was a lazy cop-out. I'd argue the writers are the most at fault when it comes to bad movies: they're the storybuilders. Actors can only do so much if the script is bad. Kudos on becoming an engineer, though. That's not an easy feat.

CHRIS SHILLMAN

The critical drinker is great. To say what you said tells me you haven't seen much of him. He does quite rightly slam Disney, although not all the time but he also praises movies when warranted. He's an honest critic, which is all we ask for. I do agree you regarding Stuckmann. He's a film maker so knows how hard it is to make a good film but that doesn't mean they're not there to be taken to task if the needs be.

He literally admitted in the video that he doesn't watch any of the critical drinker's videos. It's so weird of him to criticize a channel without actually watching it. Unsurprisingly his view on critical is totally off.

What bugs me the most is that Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation (now Fully Ramblomatic) has written a few books, and even talked about them in some of his reviews. And yet, he didn’t hold back on his reviews because “oh man, making a story is so hard”.

This is Literally why I Love you, Adam! If my finances allowed, I would be on your highest Patreon tier. You deserve it Brudda 🖤

Fury of the Film Fan has tried to tell you guys for YEARS who Chris Stuckmann really is. About time you people wake up

Can I just say, I love Adam’s honest take on this. Because I think most people know there are people behind the scenes making a movie. To not be able to talk critically on a movie removes the conversation.

Adam love this honesty and balls to say want you think is right. I actually lost a lot of respect for Stuckmann a few years back when you reached out with the Stuckmann and Jahns parodies and they didn’t come out and support you. They basically treated you like “if you’re not at our level we won’t engage”, as they had the Screen Junkies backing rather than lifting other creators, the way they had been by appearing in Movie Fights. Almost like there isn’t enough room for us all to thrive so we don’t ever help. And now the pandering to try and get themselves to another level… You put yourself on the line constantly and I love you for it. Keep being you!!!

So if someone makes my burger and it tastes like shit I cant criticize the cook just because he cooked it

Solid take. I dont like stuckman or Tim Campea's content where it is just drawn out reviews of other reviews or critics. Approaching 75,000 subscribers, Adam!

Adam, I love your commentary on movies, but I think more so I love that you integrate your own personal passions into your reviews. I guess I feel it gives us a more intimate view of where you're coming from. I love the honesty and the don't give a crap about what other people may say attitude. You're kind of a hero in your own way. Thanks for all the effort. Keep them coming.

I just discovered this channel after clicking on his Madame Web video, a movie I knew nothing about, and I'm already a huge fan. I like that he doesn't like either of the two extreme sides of film criticisms and doesn't hold back. We need more people like Adam. Bravo, sir.

Adam you just got stuckmannized.

I get the feeling that Stuckmann’s film is going to be absolute shit and that’s why he’s tiptoeing around his criticisms now.

Chris is afraid of criticism. Just see how he handled the BVS rewrite and RedLetterMedia situation. He doesn't want to say anything negative anymore because he's afraid of what people will say about his movie.

Stuckman wants to become a relevant filmaker and he's trying not to step on any toes

Yep, Chris preempted his move into making movies with that earlier "surgical strike." He's like, "oh, crap! I'm going to be making a movie, so I should start getting my audience used to the idea of NOT criticizing shit."

His movie better be good now. 🙈 Great video Adam. Cool that you made a video about the situation. 👍🏻

Some if these big channels started off with genuine passion for their craft, but lose what inspired them in the first place to suck on the algo teet. Compromising your integrity to pander to your audience and acting like you're still legit is worse than just selling out and admitting it. That's why I like your channel Adam. You want the views but you don't compromise why you do this to chase those views. It is pathetic, and it should be called out.

Yeah, that struck me kinda weird with Stuckman's video too. I like the guy ok but if that's how he wants to approach "criticism" then I think he's doing himself and his audience a disservice. I appreciate that when I come to your videos Adam, whether I agree or not, I'm gonna get the straight dope. Hell, sometimes the things you point out that don't work for you happen to work for me and has allowed me to give a movie or show a chance that I wouldn't have otherwise because you didn't like them; i.e. "Showgirls". Lol Anyway, keep up the authenticity and humor, I'm here for it.
