How about Chris Stuckmann?

Confirmation bias mainly. For some people it's not about who's saying it, it's about what they're saying. When people come in and are like "Uh oh, this guy with 1000 subscribers said he didn't like it, this isn't looking good bros" and I'm just thinking... who the fuck is this guy and why would anyone consider him an "influencer"? I know nothing about these guys or their opinions on film, why would I trust this guy over any other Joe Schmoe? Because he decided to record himself?

Boom there we go, already one down, 4 more to go. (Completely blanking on the other big youtubers)

I personally can't wait to see what The Cyber Nerds and #StruggleNation think of the film too.

I thought he only did breakdowns? Either way he's a funny dude, I'd love to see a review from him.

I'm honestly expecting all of the bigger movie based YouTubers (Jeremy Jahns, John Campea, Grace Randolph, Chris Stuckmann, etc.) to all give it a very meh, average review. Hope I'm wrong obviously - just a feeling I get though

Edit: And I got a feeling Red Letter Media and YMS are gonna tear it to shreds which is gonna be very unfortunate

He does via his podcast, although granted he usually posts those on the Monday's after the movies come out.

YMS is overtly negative on pretty much everything, so that’s a given. RLM is a wild card, but I would be more surprised if they disliked it. They tend to enjoy the Marvel films a lot, and while you could say this movie has thinner characters than one of those, Jurassic World had a similar problem but was one of Mike’s favorites of 2015.

You think they’ll like it? Not entirely confident in that. Stuckmann definitely hated KSI and this film is more like that it

I like YMS despite not completely agreeing with a lot of the reviews. Example- I really like the new Planet of the Apes trilogy and I remember him not caring for it. That being said I love his multi-video breakdowns on films like After Earth or ASM2. Different strokes.

RLM might surprise. They LOVED Krampus, Dougherty's last film.

I don’t want to get too off topic, but I saw someone mention Ecomog or StruggleNation above. Those guys are literally one of the funniest duos I’ve had the pleasure of watching on YouTube, and they’ve seemed to be monumentally excited about Godzilla, giving it the vaunted, “day 1 we there”, treatment and everything.

Oh for sure, they're hilarious. I relate to their vibe so much in comparison to some of these other YouTubers. Plus like you said they seem super hyped about KOTM.

That big guy on Angry Joe is probably gonna hate it. He hardly likes anything. Got the whole week off now so I'll probably do the 4:00 showing on Thursday.

Tyrone Magnus will probably like it too. He's a Godzilla fan and he has a over a million subs.
