Ebert is full of it. This is the reason I RARELY read reviews from critics, because their taste in movies is far different from mine. And the fact that they don't care about being entertained, they care first and foremost about all the 'artistic' stuff that goes into a movie.
For instance, I HATE HATE HATE Woody Allan movies, but they're always 'critically acclaimed'

It's just that he couldn't care less about the movie because it was aimed for a younger generation and he's seen it all. Of course the movie has flaws, so it was fair that he said it was better than transformers2, and he was trying to give it some credit. He usually gives stuff far more scathing reviews when he was in his prime and the movies deserved it.

He's not racist just because he mixed up Duke and ripcord, hes just a douche for not even paying any attention to the movie he is supposed to be reviewing. It doesn't matter if you think a movie is really bad or really good, if your reviewing then at least pay attention to whats in the movie or why even bother reviewing it at all? Sheesh, and this old fart gets paid to do this? I could write movie reviews a hundred times better than him.

I agree with you!! Sounds a little racist to me to! And on a that racist note, all the negative comments about Scarlett/Ripcord thing. Its sad because if Ripcord was played by a white guy or even a hispanic guy it wouldn't be an issue! People its Hollywood and they love mix it up!!

Ebert was one of the few critics who actually liked and defended Transformers. He knows his shit. TF was decent, fun and watchable. TF2 was a logical mindfuck, and I honestly expect the same from GI Joe.
I'll still see it eventually to make my own opinions, but you guys can't just go bashing Ebert for not enjoying the movie. Or even paying attention. I am a TF fan and paid attention in Transformers 2, and even I'm not sure what the hell was happening due to terrible filming, bad story and acting. He's a film critic, and is usually fair if you ask me. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't make him a has-been. It just means you don't agree. Perhaps he didn't follow the story because of bad storytelling, or perhaps it was forgettable? |

Who cares what Ebert thinks, he obviously has different taste in movies. This movie was never targeted towards his taste or liking. Though the facts in his review due display a lack of professionalism in my opinion.
I’m still seeing it again…

Usually I agree with Ebert's reviews, however, a lot of his reviews lately have been all over the place(his Star Trek review was very poorly written). I think Ebert should hang it up.

Guys, racism is an ugly and serious accusation that should not be thrown around so casually. To the best of my knowledge neither Mr. Ebert or anyone on these boards have been waving a swastika flag or saying "the N word". That term means you have a set of ideals that include causing harm or hindering the advancement, opportunity and freedom of an entire group of people. A fan boy who is of the opinion that a character he remembers being of a certain ethnicity in the cartoons and comics should remain that way, should not be lumped in with Klansman and Skin Heads. It may just be my opinion, but I find falsely accusing someone of racist behavior is just as offensive as the use of racial slurs.

Why the fuck does anyone listen to this asshole. He hasn't had a decent opinion on movies since his partner died.
