Christopher Stuckmann (born 15 April 1988)[5][1][6] is an American film critic, author, and YouTube personality.[7][8] As of June 2018, he has over 1.2 million subscribers and 341 million views on YouTube.[9] He is currently a Tomatometer-approved critic on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes,[10] and is also a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association.[11] He published his first book, The Film Buff’s Bucket List: The 50 Movies of the 2000s to See Before You Die, in 2016.[1][2] A year later, he directed and wrote the short film Auditorium 6.[12] In April 2018, he published his second book titled Anime Impact: The Movies and Shows that Changed the World of Japanese Animation.

Early life

Stuckmann took an interest in film criticism from a young age; writing brief reviews of films as early as age 14. His primary inspiration among professional film critics was Roger Ebert, particularly Ebert's television reviews with Gene Siskel. He writes that by watching these reviews, he "discovered the idea of a debate on a film, but a respectful one."[13]

Channel history

He began publishing YouTube reviews of current films in his twenties, and published his first film review in 2010. When he began publishing video reviews, there was only a small group of other video bloggers reviewing films on YouTube. He has also expanded into reviewing anime and video games.[14][15]

Stuckmann has become among the most popular film critics on the website, having a following of over 1.2 million subscribers. Stewart Fletcher of Moviepilot ranked Stuckmann's YouTube channel as the number one channel that movie fans should subscribe to, writing that "it's [Stuckmann's] passion and his deep examination of every film that keeps me coming back" and that "[h]e gives coherent, well written reviews with passionate standpoints".[16]
