I kind of love how Insider got a lot of experts who tried to be nice while criticizing something, and this guy is like, “Nah, that’s just crap.” 😂
-
His ruthlessness and his refusal for sugarcoating his criticisms just shows how much passion he actually has for blacksmithing.
-
I remember this dude on Forged in Fire. In a challenge his first attempt at a knife went south and he had to start over and he hammered out a knife, swinging with all his strength and skill in 30 minutes from a single small billet that he made from canister steel. This man is no joke. Not only did he hammer out that knife in 30 minutes, it was better than his other competitors knives they spent hours on.
-
I love how brutally honest he is in his judgements. You can tell he really knows his craft.
-
I LOVE how merciless this man is in his criticisms. Taking full advantage of the platform he’s been given to mock those who make a mockery of his craft. I could listen to him for hours!
-
This is probably one of the harshest "Blacksmith Rates" videos I've seen, but also my favorite. Neil isn't pulling punches and I love it!
-
i like how he was straight to the point. people who criticize something should be exactly like this guy, honest to the soul.
-
This is exactly what I expect from these videos: Neil Kamimura is an actual expert, who is negatively affected by the portrayal of his job, giving a critique of whether they're accurate or not. Nothing personal (save for the Rambo bit, haha), and he loves the cast and the movies... but he's actually motivated to call it if it's bs. And his explanation of what they got right, what not, how could they do better and such. Such a pro.
-
Insider, you need to bring this guy back for more. This is the type of reviews I want to see, honest, brutal but with actual knowledge behind what he is saying and explanation of why he thinks that way.
-
This man is actually jokes. Nonstop laughter at his commentary and natural humor but you can also tell he has enough experience to back his criticism. What a cool dude
-
A blacksmith swings his hammer with purpose, precision, and weight. I love to see they can do the same with words. Those criticisms had enough purpose, precision, and weight as an actual hammer. The “impurities” he was smashing out were the misconceptions Hollywood has created of actual smithing. Respect.
-
"A tree dude gives up his arm for a handle... you can't take it too seriously" Love this guy
-
one note in the Iron mane scene: cold forging is very common when armor smithing, and the coal forge is lit low to anneal the pieces at various stages so they don't crack after work hardening. I'm a blacksmith with 20 years experience. the quench in that scene is just Hollywood bs though. 7/10 is a good rating for that.
-
I’m a blacksmith and bladesmith as well. Scenes like these kill me because it would not take a lot of work for them to make accurate smithing scenes. They clearly are able to recreate blacksmith shops to a decent degree why not ask an actual Smith how it’s done? Us smiths love talking about our craft and would offer up some info in a heartbeat.
-
I LOVED this guy. He was so knowledgable but also so funny 😂 He did not hold back and I love that
-
The critic made it very entertaining. Also can't help but have the deepest respect for a working skilled tradesmen like this.
-
Mahalo for having me on the show!
-
I'm glad you covered it, because I HATED the Rambo forging scene, it was utterly terrible. Inexcusably terrible. I'm also a bladesmith and it hurt my soul. Imagine a racing scene where the car had no wheels and the driver was facing backwards, that's how terrible it was.
-
Bro i love him. I have a huge respect for blacksmiths. Hes brutal ruthless but professional. I absolutely love him
-
Stallone has been doing gun movies forever and he still uses the teacup/saucer grip. I am not surprised at all that he chose to simply beat a piece of steel like he was hammering a nail. He's been relying on the audience's suspension of disbelief for so long, that it has shaped his film style.
