'Do we still need film critics?' Not when the role of a critic continues to misunderstood. The purpose of a critic is not to tell you if a film is good or not. The purpose of a critic is to encourage conversation, to engage your mind with how you watch film, and to challenge the way you perceive entertainment. However, audiences take their opinion more personally than they should and so, it leads to debates. Should we have film critics? I think that's the wrong question. Should isn't the right word. Why is. Why do we have film critics? And the answer is simple: Because everyone has a right to their opinion and a right to share it. But it shouldn't be treated as gospel, just like the audience opinion. And why is that? Because it's all just entertainment and art. And all of that is subjective. It's all about personal taste. Criticism can be art as well. It can provoke, challenge, encourage, etc. What it shouldn't do is infuriate. Because that's not fun. That's missing the point. So, yes, film critics are important because all voices all important. Just keep it fun. Otherwise, there's no point.

movies are supposed to be a work of art, and critics definitely don't understand this, a movie can have mind blowing visual effects, an amazing story, with great characters but if one of those characters has the smallest of plot holes a majority of critics will take a massive issue with it. I don't wanna bring any hate or harassment on critics not all critics are like this, obviously but this still is a massive problem when it comes to movie audiences.

The problem is, a lot of critics nowadays, specifically on KZitem from what I've seen, are really not good at doing their jobs. Seriously, Chris Stuckman's Madame Web "review" was just freaking pathetic. Oh and don't even get me started on The Little Platoon's GxK "Critique". Both of these were fish in a barrel, with both reviewers being handed a minigun. But then the former threw theirs out and started trying to defend that fish, while the latter brought a flamethrower and incinerated himself alive.

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, critics are part of what make movies known to the general public. Even if we don’t go out of our way to see a movie based on what a critic said in the newspaper or in an online review, our general judgement of something is largely based on word of mouth and what we hear about through the grapevine. If we don’t actually need film critics, then we don’t need Letterboxd. Plain and simple.

Great video! I consider scores and ratings to simply be a way of summarizing a critic's thoughts, not a replacement of said thoughts. When critics talk about what a certain movie can be or should be, it's not about personal expectations; it's about the genre's standards that were set by other movies. Let's look at your examples. It's been proven that you can make a Kaiju movie with social commentary and allegories, or a Kaiju movie that focuses more on the humans and has a dramatic tone, and still provide an enjoyable viewing experience. So, if a new Kaiju movie feels basic or shallow in comparison, why shouldn't a critic be allowed to criticize it? Of course that there's a difference between that and a movie that's purposefully light-hearted and uncomplicated. There's value in that form of entertainment, but it shouldn't be a permanent anti-criticism shield. It has happened so many times over the years. It happened recently with "The Super Mario Bros. Movie". Analyzing it not just as an adaptation of a franchise I'm familiar with but also as a movie on its own, I found it to be decent and I have no problem in discussing it with people who didn't like it, but so many people's arguments were a variation of "I know it's not a good movie, but it appealed to my nostalgia for the games, and that's enough, so screw the critics!". That's not how the discourse should be. If you're going to have that kind of attitude, why discuss the movie in the first place? Actually, why watch the movie at all, if you seemingly make your mind up about it beforehand?

“Professional” critics are pretty disliked these days, and I doubt many audiences care these days what they say. All they do is express their opinion on movies, but don’t we all do that after watching something? What differentiates critics between audiences is that they heavily evaluate all aspects of filmmaking from the perspective of “was that well made?”. Audiences watch movies from the perspective of “was that entertaining?”. Either forms of viewing are valid to me. And if people actually took the time to look into it, it’s not some black and white, two sides issue. We’re ALL individuals who experience art differently

What both critics and amateur reviewers fail to understand is that different movies are trying to do different things. Both tend to measure movies (or any piece of media) by what they want to see instead of trying to understand what the movie is going for and if it achieves that. Another thing is people need to understand how to use critics: They are not people who are always right. One needs to find a critic that they tend to agree with so their recommendations are relevant to them. Or the opposite - I have a few critics I am certain I will always disagree with, so I know when they hate something, I will love it. That works, too.

Throughout my academic life, I've come to learn that the saying "practice makes perfect" is complete utter BS. It especially goes for art and creativity. Perfection is a myth. No one is ever going to have something that is objectively perfect with no flaws. Just because you or a few people think that something is perfect like a favorite art piece, that doesn't mean it's going to be the same for everyone else. No matter how much you try to "perfect" and refine your craft, someone regardless if they're trolling or if they're being genuine are going to hate your work or criticize/critique it. People are different and they are going to see things differently from one another. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are right or wrong about how they see their work, they're just different people who see things differently than others do. Not everyone is going to have the same kind of emotion when viewing something so powerful but others will. That's just the nature of human beings. You can't change or manipulate how they feel when they view something like art. For some people it's personal and that what you think about it is not going entirely jump out to you. Sadly I think we live in a day and age where people only want to pay attention to the negative aspects in life and completely neglect positivity. Social media and internet culture as a whole has conditioned us to constantly be depressed and feel ashamed for liking something that others will tell you that you are wrong for enjoying. People disgustingly contort their opinions and subjectivity in a way that tells or gives off the impression that if you love something that is hated by the general consensus, you are an outcast and a weirdo that deserves to live the conversation or commit harm on to yourselves to do everyone that favor and not deal with you. That's just unacceptable behavior in any environment regardless if it's online or in-person. You shouldn't have to feel guilty for liking something that everyone hates. It's why I feel the whole term "guilty pleasure" or being an "apologist" is mainly being used to start up a negative conversation or to bully someone for having a completely different opinion about something. So bottom line, practice is about making something better. *Better* is the key to achieve. Not perfection.

The art of cinema means more to them than some cheap aesthetic that never really mattered in theater. They look at a film like 2001 and they dont attack it for its paper thin plot and character development. They appreciate what the film does to push the envelope.

I used to watch a lot of NC back in the day. He was funny and usually was talking about movies and shows that he grew up with or reviewed stuff that was gaining a lot of attention in the pop culture stratosphere. But I recently stopped watching nowadays because I can see that he is beginning to review more Gen Z stuff and more of 2000s nostalgia. And most of the time, I find myself disagreeing with a lot of those reviews because he has a completely different perspective that I don't see eye to eye on. I didn't like his take on Diary of a Wimpy Kid because I thought in those video he really didn't understand the whole point that the movie was supposed to be ironic and funny and I felt many of his points were unfair criticisms. Unfair criticisms of something that I have loved since my middle school years. The same way I feel about any movie that I am familiar with that he reviewed. I felt insulted when I saw his Ponyo review. I didn't even see his review on Brave or A Bug's Life because I already knew that he would just be overly nitpicking on minor things and turning everything into a comedy sketch, which is something I can no longer stand from Channel Awesome. To me personally it's like he's making fun of the things that I hold dear to my 2000s childhood and the only thing that I can do is just not watch his videos because I'm overly sensitive to those things. Don't even get me started on his fan scription videos because even those are garbage and sound very based and one sided to how they want to view a perfect world if they got the movies they wanted. (Except for the Batman fan scriptions. Those were pretty good ngl. It's probably because that was something that they have been teasing for a long time.)

After watching the Barney documentary, "I Love You, You Hate Me" I since stopped watching videos that have thumbnails and titles with clickbait imagery or anything negative revolving around the media I enjoy. I value and cherish my childhood and I just don't have to listen to anyone being opposed to stuff I like.

An example of bad take or critic review on Godzilla X Kong is Snarky Jay's she seriously just *dismissed* the movie on what it's about

No one needs critics, critics are either robots who pick on every film that they set their evil eyes on or are barbarian cavemen who have no idea what the magic of films are

@@bencake290 buddy that's not what he meant, he meant critics are complaining about the smallest details while completely overlooking the themes and other monster stuff. Sure every Godzilla film isnt perfect but is Godzilla vs king Ghidorah a shit film because the humans were bad? Hell no, there are still deep themes about nuclear war and the monsters actually represent nuclear war really well. Yes some of the human characters are not the best and the plot is wonky but if you came to see a Godzilla movie for the humans, then that's your fault.

Y'all just don't get it!!! These so-called 'critics' have always had it out for Godzilla because they're JEALOUS. They wish their pretentious 'art house' garbage could be as impactful as a giant radioactive lizard! They HATE that Godzilla is a true cinematic icon and they could never create anything as legendary! They’re just mad they can’t even handle the sheer awesomeness and metaphorical depth of a 400-foot-tall monster crushing buildings and breathing atomic fire!!! These critics are a joke! Bet they’ve never even SEEN a real movie! Their tiny brains can’t comprehend the KING OF THE MONSTERS!

The critics are the minority. The audience is the majority. The audience is where the money comes from, so their opinion matters more if you ask me. That’s why I only look at the audience approval rate.

So, by that logic, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a better film than The Shawshank Redemption because it made more money. See the problem there?

it depends. there are also different types of audiences. I can trust Letterboxd audience more than Rotten Tomatoes/IMDb audience, because people have better media literacy, and they won't just give movie bad ratings to the movie, which didn't spoon fed them everything.
