I could care less that he didn't like the film. It just seems from all the stuff he has wrong, or mixed up that he didn't see it, or was off his meds or something. I haven't watched him for years, but the rule of thumb I had when I was young was to do the opposite of his review. If he said it sucked, I went and was entertained, if he said it was good, avoid the hell out of it.

I remember one episode of the Sopranoes where Falco's character was trying to get into the music biz with this burned out dueche, and didn't want to listen to Hesch, and old-school music producer, citing, "...what does that old jew know about todays music?" Well, Heche took the kid aside and related a story about when he and this other old friend were at a club one night, and somebody came out on stage and starting doing these crazy things with his guitar that nobady had ever heard before (it was a very young Jimmy Hendrix), and Hesche's friend turned to him and said, "Holy shit! I don't know what the hell that kid's got, but he's got it!" Yes, there are geek reviewers littering the internet, but even among those the opinions are sharply divided. Just accept the fact that while it's not as bad as we feared, it's no fucking classic either. Trying to make fun of Roger Ebert because he has trouble telling the difference between MARS and Cobra (hint, it's called "Rise of Cobra") or can't remember who was flying the overpriced toy, just shows how petty and small-minded we as fans can be. If GI Joe is as tough and the quality is as good as everyone seems to think, then guess what? It's tough enough to take the criticism of one guy. |

I emailed Ebert. For years I have told people if you want an honest even review hit him up now I would have to say warning you don't even know if he watched it!!! I am guessing that since he did not get an advanced screening it is not 'worth' as much for him to pay attention...

10 Pages later and despite all of the Ebert bashing what i found most interesting is Jin's choice of words describing Channing Tatum's speech:
ghetto accent Really?! Thats the best you could come up with? |

Maybe he's bitter that he had to pay to see the movie instead getting a free critic screening.
Oh yeah half ass reviewed aside it was a bad movie. |

It's not the fact that he had to pay to see that pissed him off-- I mean, the man has plenty of money, so it's not like $10 is going to pinch his wallet much. What pisses critics off is when they have to sit in a theater with us lowly, uneducated, soda drinking peons. How dare the studios expect a respectable critic to bump elbows with the smelly peasants who allow movies like these to be made!
