I was on the verge of ripping Ebert a new a**hole, but he saved himself by at least giving Batman Begins a thumbs up.

I don't care much for critics anyway. Like they're going to keep me from watching a film just because they don't approve...

But thanks for the videos, Catman. Although it seems the Batman&Robin video isn't there. They just play the Batman Forever video over again...oh well, I can imagine what they'd have to say about Batman & Robin given the fact that Ebert trashes the first three of the previous Bat-Films prior to Begins.

Great find

Not only a thumbs-up, but four stars. It was in his 10 best films of the year.

No it wasn't.

 

[BubbaGump]

No it wasn't.

I said Batman Begins.

 

[PiousAugustus]

I said Batman Begins.

Yeah, I know. Batman Begins wasn't in his top 10 of 2005.

 

[Acid Snowman]

Interesting.

Hmm. I could've sworn it was.

Oh well. It got an honorary mention though.

Siskel - "That was a scene from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm; a Batman animated feature that was made in 1993 and Roger and I never reviewed it and as far as I'm concerned, we made a big mistake."

You're DAMN RIGHT you did, Siskel!

Haha. I can't believe Siskel didn't like Hammil's voice.

I love that quote. And, I also love how Siskel was a defender of the Burton films. Ebert, unforunately, never got it.

yeah, what the hell was up with that?

Nicholson over Hamill?

Interesting looking back. Reminds me how much the pre-Batman Begins movies sucked.

Okay I'm not going to be immature and drag this out...

But this statement was absolutely uncalled for...

Usually Ebert is right, but he obviously doesn't get Burton's Batman films.

Siskel was better than Ebert. Most of the time anyway.

 

[Punisher RULES]

At the time of it's release, Ebert said BB was one of the best films of the year.

 

[Deaths Head II]

The Forever sound cuts out for me and I can't get the Batman &Robin review to work, but I agree with Ebert for the most part. The first two Batman films were fantastic in design but they lacked strong plots. Maybe they just didn't "hit" either of us like they did most.

 

[Mr. Socko]

At the time of it's release, Ebert said BB was one of the best films of the year.

Yeah, it took him a decade to finally get Batman.

 

[Abaddon]

Siskel didn't like Hamill's Joker.
