What the fuck was up with Ebert? His opinions were so consistently shitty. Like he was legendarily bad at understanding film.

He wasnt a mouthful thats for sure

he was a holdover from the last generation of cinema

Being controversial is why he had a career.

ROBERTO!

Perhaps the same could be said of all critics.

Anyway.

his review of kazaam is hilarious. he was so angry about it.

He was a much better writer than a film critic.

he knew video games are for children
that makes him a good critic already

tf is going on with this niggas face

Don't forget he's going to be remembered as a luddite retard who said video games couldn't be art.

I almost feel bad for him, he probably cared a lot about his legacy.

Every grown-up knows that

He was weak-jawed.

I get nostalgic as fuck whenever I hear that movie guy's voice who did the TV commercials in the 90s saying "Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs way up!"

His review of Brazil was stupid and lazy.

You're talking to a teen who is not used to being around actual adults, so he'll scream and shout that video games are for kids even though everyone already knows it. It's pretty much like a little kid kicking and screaming that he's not a baby.

He's the Christgau of films
as pleb as it gets

luddite retards detected

i genuinely feel bad for you, living in the 21st century and willfully ignoring a whole category of art

Don't bother responding to people like that. Though, you do make a good point.

slack-jawed yokel

if video games are for children why is there an M rating.

lul. No, he doesn't, Redditor.

Not an argument.

Marketing

Here's an argument: get a fucking life instead of using a simulator Mr. Bidio Game

What is a man?

He was a bretty good reviewer. I give him two thumbs up.

you seem triggered. glad you agree video games are for children though

Not an argument.

He was absolutely right about this though.

lul. No, he wasn't, Redditor.

What an awful thread.

No critic can be clairvoyant, they simply try to explain why the film worked in the way that they understood it. He articulated his opinions well enough, but often failed to understand what the director was going for. I prefered him to his contemporaries because he could write.

Mm.

Some jew intern should write his stuff or is already.

This is fact

Indeed, it's fact that he cemented his legacy as a luddite retard.

This desu. What an utter moron.

You'd be surprised to know that he retracted his statement when they gave him some Japanese visual novels to play. No I'm not kidding.

Is it a horror movie or does the movie contain arousing scenes of sexual violence?

It's a zero.

Does the movie star Jennifer Jason Leigh? It gets an extra star UNLESS she gets killed or treated poorly.

Does the movie star Jennifer Lopez? Extra star again.

The guy was a hardcore SJW who, along with with bean pole butt buddy, campaigned actively and aggressively against the horror genre. He was so committed to the cause that he married a fat black woman.

Source?

>visual novels
>video games

Only manchildren got up in arms about him 'insulting' their toys.

Video games aren't art. They're money wasters for manchildren who don't have the balls to man up and marry a perfectly fine 36 year old girl in her prime.

Art is splattered menstrual blood on a canvas.

>IP count didn't go up
You know this isn't going to work.

Go cry about grandpa on your containment board, Sup Forumsirgin.

>IP count still didn't go up

Shut up manchild and grow up. Stop being a mysoginerd.

Piss Christ is art. Interracial porn is art. Pissoir is art. Capeshit is art. Video games aren't are not art. Become sophisticated already.

Bloodborne and Witcher 2 and 3 are more kino than anything hollywood has shit out the last 10 years.

His schtick was judging films against what they tried to be. Try to be a stupid summer flick that's light entertainment, get stars. Try to be a deep meaningful political thriller but be more style than substance and have no message beyond "tyranny is bad", get shat on.

What's wrong with Witcher 1?

Eberts based unlike this board

It doesnt have the same kino feel as the sequels. Too rough and clunky.

He's easily one of the most overrated reviewers ever

Bloodborne is the fucking definition of Kino, it's insane

Lol

Agreed. He was only popular because he was able to get a unique show, not that he was any good at his job. Critics are a worthless profession anyway.

Horror movies are pretty bad. Dumb cliches with bad acting, worse writing.

this
ebert is the only reviewer I hold in esteem, he was a good guy. He did get it wrong once in a while, but most of the time he was 4/4

Yes, I can easily fly dragons and slay hordes of zombies irl. You've certainly activated these almonds.
