Ebert was a hack so that´s not a surprise. Even his positive reviews on movies I like make me cringe. I´ll never understand how could THAT guy get a Pulitzer prize and become one of the most popular film critics in history but it´s a good reminder of this quote from Lucas:
“If criticism were the kind of analysis it was meant to be in the first place – as it is in other arts, where you have literate, sophisticated people, who are knowledgeable – then it would be worthwhile to listen to it. To have them rant and rave about their personal feelings is a waste of my time,”
