No one was stopping you from making your own decicions. But a good critic teaches you something you didn’t see before.
Agreed. While I often disagreed with Ebert, and detest his politics, I hold his movie reviews in esteem because they are built on well-informed history and insights of movies developed over many more viewings than I have. You don’t have to agree with someone to respect him.
This is true. However, there are times when I go see a movie which the critics think unfavorably of and thoroughly enjoy it! It is all a matter of perspective. At any rate, will miss this show.
Very true. From that man I learned to spot liberal bias, which is something I did not see before.
Precisely.
