    I love these videos. Always funny, entertaining and thought provoking. Don't get too upset by all the sins, he also gave Empire 129 sins, and that's my favorite movie of all time and it's all good.

    I have watched their Starwars reviews, and sudden adding or multiplying numbers ONLY for the prequels were sooooooooooo retarded. They might be good at nitpicking, but they are just dumbasses when they make their conclusion.

    It was funny as usual, but I did have a single complaint: why do they think Finn's 30? He doesn't look 30, especially since John Boyega was 22 during principal photography.

    It's for laughs, get over yourself. The first time I came across them was for Back to the Future, which is my favorite movie of all time and all I did was laugh. I don't get all upset over anything CinemaSins does. I mean, one of their sins for The Force Awakens was "Gamestop." They aren't trying to be serious.

    I saw the movie again and it struck me that he looks more like 17!

    I tried to watch the cinemasins video and only got a few minutes in before I was too heartbroken to continue :p I love the movie, warts and all.

    Exactly, it is not meant to be serious, it is meant to have a laugh like the "how it should have ended" videos. It's not scholarly criticism of any sorts.

    Just like all other CinemaSins videos. Some accurate sins, some sins purely for comedic effect, and some straight up bullsh*t sins. Overall, very funny and entertaining as usual.

    However, it does bother me when he gets technical and explains something in detail and why it's a sin, but he's straight up wrong.....and obviously so.

    For example, the TFA "sin" involving the small planet/moon and the Star Destroyer. He claims that the shot physically makes zero sense and would be impossible, but he never considers that the theoretical camera is very close to the Star Destroyer, and both of those items are quite far from the moon/planet itself.

    That sin was not for comedic effect. He was legitimately trying to sin the film, but obviously didn't think things through. He does this quite often.

    The cinema sins people as well as the screenjunkies people are not very smart.
