I mean I just really can't get upset about the film. I haven't seen it, don't have a daughter to take to see it, obviously not going to take my son and my wife shrugged about it. I saw Oppenheimer with friends instead on a gigantor IMAX screen, but expecting a movie made to make little girls feel empowered is going to have feminist themes, not to mention its Greta Gerwig so you know what you are getting into.

Also I am sick of the YouTube reactionaries, Drinker isn't TOO bad but most of them have nothing to say other then x product sucks in 500 different ways. Give me in-depth discussion RLM style about how Independence Day Resurgence was a schlocky mess.

Whoa, is this movie anywhere near as bad as Critical Drinker makes it sound? A two hour mean-spirited men-belittling session?



I kinda feel like this is more accurate. Critical Drinker is usually good with his assessments though.

So is this an old fashioned battle of the sexes, or a Modern Audiences mean-spirited nastiness fest?

Critical drinker makes his living on shitting on media. Yeah, sure he likes some stuff, but that's the schtick so of course he's going to go with the best take for his audience.

That dance fight video reminds me of some Zoolander shit and makes me more interested in the movie, not less.

You, however, are an autist that does not understand humor and cannot form connections with actual human beings. You make up for those shortcomings by trying to be edgy and associating with unstable, maladapted women who do not understand relationships. I feel sorry for you.

youll have to excuse him. he's British, so he thinks that automatically makes him funny and interesting. he has no idea that you have to develop a personality over time. also everyone makes fun of him for being a pervert so he just lashes out randomly.

yeah, i got tired of critical drinker after about 3 videos. i don't particularly find anything he says inciteful because it's all framed from the viewpoint of someone who hates... well... everything. he looks for things to fail so he can kick a dog while it's down. maybe it's just that the whole crowd he runs with are all basically echo chambers. it's one thing to review a movie and be like, i didn't like it because of this, this and that, and then to move on to the next topic, but they all spend HOURS making content all focused on how much they hate this one specific thing. it's beating a dead horse on overdrive.

"lashing out" it's literally just banter. To this day I'm still amazed at how sensitive some of you guys are, can dish it out but can't take it.

Have you ever seen me cry about the myriad of insults that are hurled my way? Nope, I just embrace them and use them against everyone. You should try it sometime

Funny enough, Drinker recently did an interview with Russell Brand and he even mentioned that sometimes he expects something to be complete shit and it turns out he was wrong (think the example was maybe something Marvel?).

House of the Dragon. At least that had a chance to be something he'd enjoy, he is just trying to pay the rent when he reviews something like Barbie.

all professional movie critics are trying to pay the bills. what an odd thing to say. people dont watch his channel because he just hates everything. thats ignorant. he fleshes out his opinions and pinpoints the issues he had with the films. if he likes it, he tells you why. if he hates it, he also tells you why. just because he didnt like this cuckporn film doest mean he doesnt know what he's saying.

Nah, hate to use the RLM example again but they stopped going to shit they know they dont care about or hate such as super hero movies outside of James Gunn or Sam Raimi. Hell I'd rather them review every Star Trek episode in order starting in TOS then them tell me why they hate a Barbie movie that isn't aimed at them, and they have no interest in seeing outside of farming hate clicks.

It has nothing to do with him not knowing what he is saying, he could have reviewed Oppenheimer or whatever but that doesnt get hate clicks, and its the type of shit im bored with.

This is why he reviewed Barbie

Disney and associated franchises are both easy and deserved targets for the anti woke pundits

It's called a culture war for a reason and it gets clicks/views. Again these are deserved targets and I'm not saying they're grifting. Disney franchises dominate so the quantity of output makes sense

He has positively reviewed movies in 9 of his last 20 videos. So... yeah, you're not a fan of his, but he definitely isn't just bashing on shitty movies. If his POV doesn't match yours, that's fine. He may very well do an Oppenheimer review this week. Anyhow, find a critic who is on your wavelength or don't. I enjoy Critical Drinker and Heelvsbabyface.
