What is movie snob?

Movie snobs are generally frowned upon for taking movies and really tearing apart the meat and potatoes. They take the specifics, such as plot, cinematography and other tidbits about a film rather than the enjoyment. They tend to ruin movies for others.

“I really enjoyed that movie! The action scenes were awesome, and there was so much gore!”
“Yes, but if you look past that, the cinematography was a bit wobbly and tilted, and none of the characters were remotely likeable. I could tell who was going to die as soon as they entered a scene.”
“Man, you are a movie snob.”
“Thank you.”

Movie snob - what is it?

The way you can tell if someone is a movie snob is by asking them what they like to do in their spare time. If they say "movies" they are normal people. If they say "film" they are movie snobs. Movie snobs are the kind of people who go see a movie like Spiderman and then whine that it's unrealistic because there's no way a real person could get bit by a spider and be able to fly from building to building.

You can usually find movie snobs posting 1000 messages a minute on imdb.com trying to make themselves look smarter than other people and telling everyone else they are using bad grammar. Chances are they are in their mid-20s, don't have jobs, and live in their mom's basement. They might try to make independent movies but don't realize that everyone else thinks their movies are terrible.
