How Critical Drinker Destroyed YouTube’s Most Hated Movie Critic
The Critical Drinker has seemingly started to rebrand himself and change his approach to movie criticism, and I think this change …

Chris is a sell out
The Drinker couldn't do his analysis as he does if these major movies were well made. But they simply are not. The tens to hundreds of millions of dollars spent are supposed to result in near perfect entertainments, yet apart from looking good, everything else is a mess. Sloppy direction and editing, plots full of logical and emotional holes, dialogue that characters wouldn't say, characters without arc or personality even, and "agendas" behind the choices…or in other words, propaganda. Roger Ebert: Your movie sucks! Jay Sherman: It Stinks! The Drinker is in good company.
Stickman's been a very sad betrayal, I miss him.
The Critical Drinker is excellent but RazorFist is the King of movie reviews. He chooses to focus on gaming though. Clever, trying to frame the CD as a woke panderer to get his movie produced in Hollywood. `Read the room`. People hate Pedowood and the woke actors.
I never liked Chris. He gave me bad vibes. Critical Drinker has his flaws but we know who he is.
I am just not a drinker follower just coz i want to listen whatever he says..i just follow him coz whatever he points out about flims, i felt the same while watching that movie.. and also im not among those who watches movie reviews without even watching them..
I have no idea who chris stuckmann is, but he clearly has nothing to offer as a movie critic if he doesn't ever want to be negative about films, the industry and the actors.
How do people listen to him with that accent? Guy is unlistenable and unlikeable.
Stuckman: Thank you Jar Jar for saving Star Wars before giving the loud squeal while holding lightsabers. Yeah Chris everything you liked about it was exactly what shills do. Hearing his critiques about George Lucas filmmaking proved to me exactly how little Stuckman knee about cinema history. Or the difference between homage and copying. The reality is there is no real new stories. It's only tropes. And his tropes are no different than the tropes Kirosawa and Hitchcock and other filmmakers create. The genius is in making it unique and seem different.
Been listening to him for several years now and he's on point.
Critical drinker is just a tool. Just a puppet. A right wing propaganda mouthpiece and probably on Putin's payroll.
Hes not honest. Hes a liar
We need more positivity and less negativity. Praise movies you want and forget the rest. Drinker is just a drug addicted depressed Gen z
Both are losers. Drinker is the same bs content creator as anybody else. Stuffing his videos full of negativity, sound effects. Memes and videos. It's truly brain rot. I used to like him.. Then I realized he's just a negative loser.
Still a fan of old Stuck, but the Drinker is just so much fun.
And then drinker proved he's up his own ass with his own movie
Chris stuckman isn't brave enough or honest enough to have a real voice. Hes a kamala voter. He rather virtue signal then stand for common sense and what's right.
I rarely agree with Drinker but fuck he is funny.
You can see the goyslop diet inflammation building on stuckmans face over the years
I think the studios should just send the critical drinker their scripts and we would get way better movies …it's a no brainier.
I think Drinker's more thoughtful approach is good for the art of film criticism overall. I don't know if it will do much to gain acceptance is woke Hollywood. He dislikes bad films with woke messaging, which will always make him an istophobe.
Chris is the guys that whines about the smallest criticism. He lets his insecurities rule him.
I don‘t know what your problem is. I like how the critical drinker dismantles movies. From time to time – and very seldomly – he gets too easily triggered by woke stuff. Others are far more prone to this than the critical drinker. And I get it – if the extreme „identity left“ hurls unfounded insults at you all the time, you overreact. The critical drinker is almost immune to that, but not always. Others, while they were reasonable in the beginning have become too extreme for my taste. And it always starts with false narratives: „You hate Michael Burnham because she is a strong female character!“ „WTF? Terminator 2, Alien, Janeway, Seven of Nine, Jetsia Dex, Leia,…“ „Misogynous Nazi!“ We lost some great creators this way. Thankfully, not him.
But I also hear what Chris Stuckman has to say. He is always too nice when criticizing. But he tries to have an opinion. And giving his religious upbringing, he came a long way.
And you know what: I take different opinions into account before deciding to invest my time. On many modern movies or franchises, I have more fun writing comments on X or youtube.
john campea – shill
grace – shill
Chris Stuckmann – oopppss
Stuckman always sucked
Drinker doesn’t «give his opinions», he says whatever pleases the right extremist shills that love his content. Let Chris do whatever he wants, you don’t need to watch if you don’t want to. Jerez you guys are so cringe
A friend tipped me on the drinker because of his critique on the movie Avatar. I hate Avatar with a passion that only the drinker could rival. And I've never looked back since.
People have different tastes, that's why cinema is suck a great medium; someone can like what someone else hates. You are not a worse person for liking Avatar, it's fine, I don't care. But if I'm looking for someone's opinion I'd rather have it from someone I share an opinion with. For me it's the drinker.
The only type of person who wants to please Hollywood is the type that likes them young.
Hollywood is dead! The dawn of the independet writer, producer and maker has arrived!
Stuckman is a hack.
Who'da thunk that focusing on the technical nuances of how a movie works or doesn't, rather than sucking up to Hollywood or just bashing everything from some political stance, could be popular?
I don't know who cris or you are, but I am subbed to the drinker. Hopefully, he doesn't change.
My peen is always semi for drinker but my body and mind is always 100% hard and ready
Just like with Mauler, I like it when they tear down shitty movies, but I love it when they praise and highlight great ones. But both are important for a critic to do.
And Drinker's interviews with actors/directors are very relaxed and enjoyable.
Critical drinker is simply a movie critic, not a movie Butt kisser.
PS Remember Robin Robin animation? The main character had to understand that she is a terrible mouse to go further.
Critical Drinker:
He is honest and doesn't kiss industry or viewers asses.
He is smart and educated but uses simple language without false elaboration.
He has his opinions, and he is not pretending otherwise or being neutral.
Ever since his horrific review on The Boys season 4, his been posting unreliable content lately!
The Critical Drinker is hilarious and I think his reviews are spot on.
Yeah Drinker fell off too
I came to align with the critical drinker because everything he says I 100% agree with and even opened my eyes to new aspects about movies I didn't see before.
At this stage in the game why would anyone want to be a part of the mainstream movie industry? For the one or two movies that are actually good. There are hundreds of movies that are basically being stifled by ridiculous requirements that only serve to hinder the movie itself
This is spot on. I only agree with Critical Drinker maybe 70% of the time. But I love his commentaries. Their honest, often inciteful, and he isn't a corpo schlep for the industry. That impresses me more than anything else in this business.
Chris Stuckmann will regret his decision to not criticize movies once his movie flops.
Hollywood does not need to listen to youtubers. Yall already ruined 90% of gaming and yall need to stay the hell away from movies before it's completely destroyed as well
Ahh. That explains why he's gone from "must watch," to "I can't really be bothered."
You cannot spell "criticize" without "critic"
Did you deep throat drinker as you wrote this or in between takes?
