What? A youtuber…not being authentic? …..

He’s a film snob, that’s it. And I think his fear of giving criticism is because he can’t handle criticism himself. Refusing to give any form of criticism is a major flaw in whatever he’s decided to make his channel into. Everybody needs some form of criticism, how else are we supposed to grow? And by looking at a movie, and only saying the good parts, and refusing to acknowledge the bad, it almost shows that you don’t care, because you’re refusing to offer any constructive criticism for future endeavors.

Chris is the same fool who said in his Dark Knight Rises review, “If you don’t at like this movie, then why do you go the theater.” To each their own, but it still sounded condescending.

Chris Stuckmann lost me when he became so sanctimonious that he released a video inferring he's above movie criticism. I get what he's trying to say, but to build your brand on a specific niche for 10 years and then suddenly decide you're above that niche and everyone apart of it is pretentious and irritating. Movie criticism isn't inherently negative, Chris just wants to pat himself on the back. He lectures us quite a bit on filmmakers for a guy who hasn't even released his first film. The worst part about it is I used to consider him one of the more positive film critics on KZread. Yes he would curse and tear movies apart but it wasn't as negative as YMS, Ralph, and many other movie based KZreadrs.

Um he is

Maybe he's finding it really hard to make a film and is terrified of getting dragged the way he dragged other filmmakers. I think his film is crowd-funded, too, so he can't really just back out of it. I genuinely want his film to be good and don't have any ill will towards the guy, but it seems to me that this might be what is going on.

You know you do bring up a good point on how the BvS rewrite could’ve been the point where he made his turn into what he is now and all the backlash he got for that was awful and despicable, but part of me does miss the old Stuckmann. I still watch his videos, he’s really like only one of the big KZreadrs from back in the day that I still watch, though every now and then I go onto Kristian Harloff’s channel for one of his podcast episodes. But nowadays whenever he post a video, while I respect him wanting to show more love to great films, it does get predictable on what he thought of the movie to where I don’t automatically click on his video right away. Plus there’s a lot other reviewers I follow, you mentioned some of them but also Double Toasted, Geekly Goods, Reel Rejects, etc. As far as the Madame Web video, I do think the backlash was a bit harsh and I don’t necessarily think he’s saying, “Give the filmmakers and writers a pass.” but it’s not always the studio’s fault, it’s the director and writer’s job to execute the product as good as they can. And yeah I think Stuckmann should learn there’s ways to be critical while also trying to be personal and a complete dick, especially if you want everyone involved in the production to do better next time. But that’s my stance, I still like the guy, but sometimes he needs work on what he has to say.

The only one I can think of was “American Hustle”: everybody else at the time it was released said called it overhyped and not that good, but he was gushing over it. And with him praising Andrew Garfield’s role in NWH and wanting an ASM 3 I found myself groaning because everybody else was saying so.

Very true about the rewrite he did. I been watching him for years and remember when he used to be WAY more full of energy and would decimate any bad movie. Just watch his Fant4stic review. A lot of people only attribute his changed attitude to him getting into the film industry, but he had slowly showed signs of changing way before that. Particularly in ‘16 when he got lambasted for his rewrite and in his original reaction video he did to it (which he since took down) you can tell how deeply hurt he was by the experience. Slowly after that I noticed he became more respectful, mature, and fair in his reviews. Even stopping his worst movies of the year list in ‘17. And then in ‘21 he finally decided to stop negatively reviewing anything whatsoever

His video on why he left JW (which I can’t blame him for) was probably the biggest video back in early 2021, though the video he released later that year on why he wont do negative reviews anymore was the biggest change, obviously. I just found his videos afterwards were….boring. And when I saw people making fun of him - pre Madam Web - for that, I realised that yes, I stopped having fun or wanting his opinion on anything.

Sigh. Somehow I knew exactly how this would go as soon as I saw Chris's video. It's somewhat admirable but I don't come to a movie youtuber for that kind of content and I know that's just me. I liked Chris's video about movies his opinion changed on; I've tried to be better about movies like that various Star Wars movies,X-3, Spiderman 3,Titanic and others. It's wild how this changed with your clips over the years. Love that your in the Austin Burke/Sean Chandler/Zack Pope side of YT now; they're a good group of guys. It's sad this is more interesting than anything about Madam Web.

Hi Joe, hope you're doing well. A really good video and quite informative, hope you like to here mine as well so here it is. While I do agree that the director and writers for Madame Webb should be held accountable for their role, but for this scenario, most of the blame should go to Sony for not choosing the right writers and director, same with constantly interfering too much on the creative aspect, and rushing the movie production to be released so soon, rather than slowing down and giving it some time to fix some issues here. Now as for MCU films regarding Kevin Fiege, he does have a say in those movies, and has done a really great job from Phase 1 to Phase 3 including the entire film crew for all those movies (directors, actors, writers, visual effect artists, etc.). But I do think Phase 4 and 5, most of us can agree that MCU doesn't hit the same, and needs a big change, but that's for another topic, same with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 and the Star Wars Films, we can discuss that another time. My main point is that, over time, Chris does probably want to step away from film criticism, and wants to be a filmmaker, which is totally OK. I think some youtubers and fans have blown it way out of proportion and took it too seriously when he just wants to state his own opinion. That's my overall opinion. I would like to know @Joe what are your thoughts on my personal takes. Anyways, good video, have a great day, cheers 😊❣

I mean... What I'm understanding is Sony hired an unexperienced director and a writer who wrote awful movies. So they hired a cheap director and writer. Meaning that yes, it's the studio's fault. Yes, sometimes studio interference is a good thing, but Sony is just crapping out this movies with no care just to keep the rights. The only one of those movies I've even kind of liked was the first Venom. Each one has gotten worse. Because Sony doesn't care about quality.

Money. Money happened.

Excellent video Joe, made some excellent points on Chris Stuckmann. For me I remember back in 2011 I remember watching Chris Stuckmann’s videos on his reviews especially with certain movies like, The Smurf’s is the first video I saw and I have been following him for a good amount of 5 to 6 years and he does have a passion for movies and his love for cinema. And my favourite review of his is Fantastic Four (2015) aka Fant4stic which I got a kick out of that which reminds of me losing my cool with that movie 😂 and his Emoji Movie review had my ear drums left me numb and deaf for a week or two! I did notice the way in his video he comes across as bored or just doesn’t have the energy or have that same energy like he had in the past, and especially he’s more forgiving on the filmmakers and not giving them criticism but not to the point of bullying them just give them what they have to improve on! I do respect him as a person and am sure he’s a nice guy in real life, and I wish him all the best in his film career as a filmmaker.

Maybe he thought people would actually be genuinely interested in what he had to say? Hindsight, that probably wasn’t a smart idea because he should’ve put in a disclaimer of some kind that it wasn’t his greatest effort. He doesn’t always seem to think things through.

I've grown bored with his reviews about 3 years ago. Nothing personal just it got to the point I just knew if he would recommend it or think it was just meh. I think for a while he was just trying to keep up with the ever changing algorithm. He has a certain demeanor that can be off-putting. I see why he doesn't want to burn any bridges with his criticism. If nothing else his name is now everywhere now.

13:00 yup that’s it for me. His initial video a couple of years about only appreciating movies etc came across as pompous and self absorbed. Almost unnecessary. With his stated position he has cornered himself. Black Mass, TinTin, Predators are films he rated as mid. He didn’t trash them. With his stance, even these are off the table

Stuckmann's defining flaw is that he doesn't know you can be critical and be personal at the same time.

Also reviewers/critics are allowed to change their opinions, and the fact that they own up to their changes and admit that they changed their opinion is good, that proves that they ain't stubborn about their past outlook and open to change.

Tuck man be like yo take this movie out on the flag, Cuz. I’ll be right back with half the people with the flimflam chicken ham.

On EFAP they analized his video on Madame Web and then read an interview the director gave to Variety I believe, funny thing is that about 80% of the ideas on the movie were from the director, not the studio. She pretty much had total liberty to do whatever she wanted. I stopped watching his videos two years ago. Now I watch Film Threat, Jeremy Jahns and Critical Drinker.

Batman was watching you as you were recording. I can see him in the corner.

Maybe, having become a film maker, Chris understands that ripping films apart when no film maker sets out to make a bad film, isn't a very nice thing to do and, for himself, he just doesn't want to do that any more. What the hell is wrong with that?

I don't understand why Stuckmann is famous. He's always been mediocre. I found him like 10 years ago and got bored with him after watching 2 or 3 of his vids. I didn't even know he was still around until all this started. There's plenty of movie reviewers out there that actually put a little creative effort into their presentations. All Stuckmann does is stand there and give his bland opinions. And then at the end he says "Get Stuckmannized!". He probably thinks that so clever 🙄

I don’t get why he is into culinary items to the point of being in love with them. Strange lol. Ya I know it’s some weird term that is supposed to mean something but all of these “sexualities” are splitting hairs or on the other hand, overcomplicating things. You’re attracted to someone because you’re attracted to them. I’ve always thought the idea of “being attracted to people regardless of identity or sex”…sooo bisexual? Why over complicate things? It might as well be “being attracted to both genders and people that follow woke ideals” oh ya and caveat “absolutely not attracted to anyone that is not woke and especially conservatives”.

He’s playing the game now. Selling out, he will never change while he’s being told he can possibly make a film. If I was him I would just say hey guys I can’t criticise films anymore because I’m trying to work along side these guys, but that’ll hurt his bottom line so it’ll never happen as he probably cares more about money and recognition. The game murders the individual!

Guys, he has been like this a LONG time. The sponsor for his Ghostbuster Afterlife review was the Ghostbuster official game. That is not even trying to be objective or present yourself with a shred of ethics. I know he is not a journalist but he has zero standards and was always a shill. Everyone just noticed it now.

I watched a few of his reviews and never seemed to agree with him on anything so I've not paid attention ever since.

I think this is a great analysis. I also understand where Chris is coming from with this, we've all encountered the toxicity of online discourse, and crazy people who'll take a beef too far. However I also increasingly watch a lot of the 'people who are negative about everything', and I understand why are lot of those people are angry. I note very few of them are negative about the dune movie out right now, so they aren't really negative about everything. And that points to a dividing line here. When the angry people say "oh, this movie's actually good", that's when I sit up and take notice, that's useful information, because they've been broken out of their usual state. On the other hand, with Chris self-censoring like this, even for the best reasons, devalues him as a source of information: I can't trust that what he's saying is what he really feels. But at least, thanks to this video, I have a better understanding why he's taken the stance he has.

He shit on the Prequels from the very beginning, and his apology, felt like a non apology, hell, after Rise of the Skywalker come out he did another non apology, saying how his friends felt different things about the movie, at difference from Jeremy Jahns he never apologise for the toxic environment that he foster along side Red Letter Media along the years, shitting and splitting on the Prequels fans and every Star Wars fans that not agree with his point of view, he was very dishonest.

A lot of this just feels like over interpreting someone’s tone. Peoples opinions change, people’s priorities change, and there’s really nothing wrong with that! As far as his take on Madame Web goes, you can trash the writers, actors and director all you want, that’s the movie the studio asked for! So, in my opinion, putting most of the blame on them for the core issues the movie has isn’t that off base. Not saying you shouldn’t have made this video, but I think the take of “he doesn’t make the videos I want him to anymore, so he’s not worth watching now” is pretty reductive and doesn’t add much to the conversation around film criticism.

Very concise and informative work here. I stopped watching Chris recently. He's gotten snobbish. Good luck on your channel, btw.

20 minutes of sense, then you derailed in the last 12. He stated that he has grown to enjoy the prequels for their distinctive elements. He also clearly states that the corporate takeover in Hollywood is making him appreciate the earlier days more. Madame Web was never a film made for the sake of art either. Like Morbius or Tros, there is a clear indication that studios consider the TikTok generation to be the main audience to adhere to, and that generation does not care about craft. Studios will jeopardize any creative art for the sake of simplicity, preferably with as much exposition-heavy dialogue as possible. I mean ffs, Madame Web was literally made because it is a Spiderman-related property, which means money. The filmmaker was set up to fail, the filmmaker can only have so much power, hence why they probably hired a rookie to boss around. Studio interference is a BIG problem and you are being ignorant if you can not see that. Also, Raimi was forced to add Venom, who drastically hurt the pacing of Spiderman 3. Stuckmann has a weird way of articulating himself sometimes, I admit. I also do not love that he doesn't want to be critical, but I get it, strategically speaking. He is not wrong in the MW video. Unoriginal, sure, but not wrong. These post-internet film "fans" will grab onto anything to start drama, even when it makes them stupid in the process. And what is up with the dramatics? "I am never watching a Stuckmann video again 😢" Like you're not going to attend the next Stuckmann hate rally

I'm still not especially emotional about it, and I have a hard time imagining that anyone else is.

Used to watch his channel but he sold his soul to the devil and I said nope.

10 mins in and i still don't know what you want to say bro.

If you actually stay for the whole runtime, then you’ll know what I’m trying to say.

I'll say this, filmmaking is a form of art. Artists tend to shy away from expressing negative feelings about other artists' work (other than rap music lol). As you start to grow in your artistic field, highlighting negative opinions on an artist's work (even if we mean it and it is valid) feels misguided. I started doing film criticism in 2017 and began making films of my own in 2020. Similarly to Chris, there was a switch in my head in moving away from publicly piling on to films I didn't like. Don't get me wrong, the movies still SUCK but it can come off as you are holier than thou as a filmmaker commenting on someone else. I can see how disappointing Chris' new approach but you can't knock his evolution in context. Chris made a point in his Madame Web review that he couldn't buy a writer concepting a final action set piece under a giant Pepsi sign (granted the writers of the film have a HORRIBLE track record). In context, Chris wanted to focus on how Sony did not care about making a good movie and was only concerned with retaining rights. So while it is easy to destroy the filmmakers behind the movie, the bigger picture is Sony has continued their streak of creating lackluster Spidey-based movies regardless of creative team. There seems to be a common denominator.

Maybe he got stuckmanized

When I heard him dismiss the legitimate critism for those terrible Star Wars sequels I assumed he just sold out. For someone who studies film as much as he does, when presented with the OBVIOUSLY Flawed scripts & plots For those films (Especially the 2nd & 3rd) his response is "I don't see it" ??? You can make the claim that he was just going contrarian but I think it's much more likely he's playing to the studios...... There is definitely a subset of youtubers who steer clear of criticizing large studio films when they are embroiled in controversy, whether it was created by the studio or the fandom. They tend to propagate access media drama, like they wish to curry favor. They are the ones who make public statements about racism, sexism etc.

in order to understand him or whats happening to him, all what you need to do is watch one of his posts where he explains WHY he left church like forever!!! Case solved !

I'm not understanding what exactly his issue is with Chris Stuckmann. Because he cursed too much in his later videos? All I'm hearing is a lot of vague stuff about feelings and vibes which doesn't really mean anything. I think this person just decided to make a video about his feelings about Stuckmann without a valid argument to back up what his saying or a sound reason that allows people to understand his position even if they don't agree with him. Look, his entitled to his feelings but without a sound argument it's hard for people like me to really understand what his trying to say or even relate to what his saying.

I don’t have a problem with him having different opinions than me as I said with his current stance on the prequel trilogy.

@@JoeTufanoTheMovieGuy The reason he's not going against it, is probably he agrees and starting to like the prequel trilogy. He even said it himself in this video "Has My Opinion Ever Changed". He didn't say ohh the prequels are the best or anything like that. He basically saying that he's starting to appreciate the prequels to a certain extent, and I don't see a problem with that. He basically appreciated George Lucas for not having to deal with studio interference and was able to make the movie he wanted to make regardless of what people thought about it. You may not like his statement but you're going to have to respect and accept it. I'm sorry Joe. Maybe you feel different about the prequels and thats fine, but there's no need to shove those opinions down anybody's throat if they like the prequels. This is also I wanted to say in my comment earlier.

Is this meant to be sarcastic? Because I certainly don’t feel accomplished talking about someone that I used to be a fan of seeing him go in a direction that I’m not onboard with. With everybody else putting their two cents in I felt like I had to say something.

I think a lot of people, seemingly you included based off this one video, don’t see film as art and human expression. Why do you feel so upset about his opinions and his decision to only talk about things he likes rather than shitting on other people’s art. He has now himself become a film maker and understands the process of making a film. Clearly the people in comments think movies just appear out of nowhere and are either objectively good or bad.
