His name has become a brand which is further supported by the fact that with his death in 2013; his website still posts reviews under his name!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907523714629220078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338209608815525267.post-66212662841371263532012-11-12T17:15:47.211-05:002012-11-12T17:15:47.211-05:00Who cares about Ebert's review?

They see way too many movies, that they have to review immediately (no time to think things over, let things sink in); it's their job, they get paid for it, they cannot really choose what to see and what not to see; there is peer pressure (to not look bad in the eyes of colleague reviewers) and they have a name and reputation to defend; etc. No, give me websites like this any day!

The guy sees several hundred movies a year, it's been a long time since he's seen Craig as Bond, and perhaps he allowed bitter memories of QoS to color his memories. I'll attribute the cock-up to poor memory and carelessness, not some scheme.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338209608815525267.post-56972643288182233952012-11-10T13:09:47.245-05:002012-11-10T13:09:47.245-05:00It's instances like this that make me feel lik...It's instances like this that make me feel like critics are always just paid off by the studios to praise something, but their real feelings will eventually slip out. (In this case, Ebert didn't like Craig as Bond, but went along with the crowd until Craig maybe wins him over with Skyfall.)<br /><br />I kind of feel like critics aren't entirely honest about how they feel about Craig, period. There was so much backlash against his casting that it always seemed to me like critics were predetermined to LOVE Craig in Casino Royale, no matter what, to distance themselves from those internet whiners who were carrying on about his casting.<br /><br />Taro Todorokinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338209608815525267.post-34451754851294342802012-11-10T11:02:24.431-05:002012-11-10T11:02:24.431-05:00Skyfall is really good, man!
