Honestly, is it the quality of Ebert’s reviews that prompted this lengthy smear, or is it his annoyingly leftist politics? When Ebert writes one of his purely political opinion pieces, I have to admit he annoys me, more often than not.
When he reviews a film, I think he’s quite good at his job, giving me reasons why I might or might not want to see it. Yes, he’s writing for a mass audience, poor lowbrows like me. So what? I like his ability to take a film on its own terms; he can appreciate good trash as well as the next guy. That just doesn’t mean he has to like a particular piece of trash. I haven’t seen “Transformers 2″, but surely giving it a bad review isn’t crossing the line.
