Yeah, but Ebert is a snob. If you had seen his (since redacted) review of X2, you might change your default critic. He started straying into a 'what would it be like to have sex with a mutant?' thing and it was just kind of odd (not to mention creepy) to read. I dont take his word for much. Dramas, true stories, things like that I value his opinion, but for fun movies, he just takes himself too seriously to be a valuable resource for the non-upper crust crowd. Just my opinion tho...JFK
Yeah, I disagree completely. I love Ebert, and, sadly, I pretty much agree about X-men. He didn't dislike the x-movies, he just thought they got bogged down with too many mutants. I think he's right. Oh, and what he asked was how a mutant would be "intimate" with Rogue, since touching her nearly kills you. I've wondered that myself.
He likes fun movies, in my estimation. You just have to understand what he's saying. When he questions the logic of an action/adventure pic, he's observing rather than criticizing. The lack of logic in such movies shows a cheerfulness on the part of the director.
Although, I'm a bit of a movie snob myself, so maybe I have no room to talk :)
Insert Michael Jackson joke here....
