District 9 is almost without sin

Warning: Spoilers
So "Cinema Sins" is an immensely popular YouTube channel that has a format similar to "Honest Trailers", "How It Should Have Ended" and "Pitch Meetings" (those are all recommended right here!). It points out things wrong with the movie, but is far more negative than those other things I mentioned. That's why it isn't as good. Many of these sins are just jokes they make and not actual criticisms. These other shows could make the same joke and it would be more fitting because their explicit reason for existing isn't to criticize everything. Those channels are more like parodies and not actual critiques. It's true that "Honest Trailers" gets things wrong and so does "Pitch Meetings", but they're nowhere near as frequent.

This is mostly because they're shorter. The bobvids videos I've seen criticizing this show are some of the best YouTube videos I've ever seen. I do enjoy this show, because they do make good jokes, but it's wrong to label some of them as sins. It's obvious they don't legitimately dislike every movie they come across, so I can understand it as being more of a roast. I heard the actual people behind "Mystery Science Theater 3000"/Rifftrax don't like this show. So yes, I do recommend this show, but you really shouldn't take it seriously and there are still better shows out there that I just mentioned. ***
