I like Adam Cus I usually get great recommendations from him. His best of the year lists highlight indie films that don’t get enough attention. However his reviews for a lot of the more popular blockbusters come off as incredibly pretentious and smug. Like it’s ok if you don’t like the movie but you can deliver that opinion in a way that doesn’t sound like you’re better than the people who enjoyed it. Like he just comes off like such a prick in these reviews
This. The delivery is the problem here. I agree with most criticisms of current Blockbusters, but I would never try call anyone an idiot for liking these films. If I go into every Marvel movie, even though I know that I've never liked them, I'm the idiot (I of course don't have to make a living of reviewing these movies)
