KSI: In Real Life

Who is this documentary for? I am sure that the majority of the people who watch this are fans who love KSI and everyone around him, I myself have watched him since before the Sidemen. But the documentary really doesn't explain nor teach many unknown parts of JJs life. We learn that his motivation is money and spite, how charming. This philosophy on life is flawed. But if you would watch this and don't have any idea who KSI is you would klick off directly.

I'm sure if someone loves the guy this documentary could be fine. However as a documentary it lacks a narrative, focus and structure. It jumps all around just to fill out the runtime but still doesn't manage to show us anything worthwhile. How many times are we going to see documentary about how though it is to be famous and rich?

He called himself an alpha which made me cringe to my core.

This film is just about the worst documentary ever made. Hell, Ed Woods might have directed it himself. It's basically a cheap attempt to do Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson's "Young Rock" but with a guy with zero talent who got lucky the current generation has no taste in celebrity nor idols.

I just can't figure out why an unfunny clown like KSI got such a fan following when sitting through the video is the worst punishment I've led myself into.

Leave off the torturous YouTube video library, we see the phoniest so called "boxer" who, like his butt buddy Pauls, get the opponents dive for 6 figures and equally has the worst music skills that I personally would never let nor allow an enemy's corpse listen.

I wish the current society do a 160 degree turn and get back to the old days when the likes of these Clownshoes never had a chance in the world's affairs or else take a huge jump into the future and get away from this culture for good.

Self-involved, egomaniacal, shallow af. Not sure what vapid 10 yo's this was made for

KSI: In Real Life (2023) is a documentary following the YouTuber, boxer, and musician, KSI. It details his rise to fame and the issues that come alongside it. As a documentary, the film doesn't keep a consistent pacing and feels quite unorganised at times. However, I found JJ to be interesting and I enjoyed learning about his life.

The documentary includes some effective editing that keeps the film upbeat and engaging. I really like the onscreen graphics used throughout, however I would've like to see them used more often. There's also a good use of archive footage to provide context.

The original score is okay, it's nothing outstanding but it doesn't need to be. The parts of the documentary I really enjoyed are the live performances, it's fun to see JJ's passion for music and how he interacts with fans.

I really like the use of laidback interviews, JJ is interesting to watch and has a lot of intriguing things to say. Additionally, it is very nice to see JJ be vulnerable to the audience and talk about a lot of personal topics, I feel the emotional parts are important.

Lastly, this film is nothing unique in terms of documentary filmmaking but manages to entertain and inform. Some parts are a bit too brief however, which makes it a good film to put on in the background.

I rated KSI: In Real Life a 9/10 because I'm a hardcore fan of KSI, and not because of the quality of the actual documentary. Honestly, I don't blame you for assuming this; half of the people who rated this probably rated it a 10 or 1 because they love or hate KSI. I can assure you that I gave KSI: In Real Life a 10 because this documentary deserves it. Why? Mainly because of the parts in it about KSI's family. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the documentary was hilarious, and fascinatingly made me realize the type of person KSI is; not the good stuff I already knew, but the flaws. However, they can't compare to the parts about his family that hit home. Every time family was mentioned I could feel the water in my eyes trying to break free. I told myself as I watched: "I ain't crying in no documentary." I could not let a documentary be the 5th movie I've cried in out of 300+. But once JJ broke down, I did too. And I'm not talking about a tiny droplet that pushed its way just outside my eye, I'm talking about full on tears that went to my chin. Out of those 5 movies I've cried in, I had never cried as much as I did this time. The only reason this isn't a 10/10 is because most of the movie doesn't have an intense emotion, but the parts that do are sensational. In conclusion, if you are an old or new fan of KSI, watch this through to the end, for if you've never cried in a film, this could be your first.
