He seemed to like it, but his review is... rather empty. It's like the guy wrote it about the trailers, saw the film in order to determine his star-rating, and then couldn't be bothered to go back and edit some actual specific commentary into the thing. And to boot there's a slightly condescending undertone of vague contempt for comicbook fans and their explosiony movies, which just strikes me as cringingly backward from a learned bespectacled film buff
I was kind of hoping for something more akin to his Iron Man review, but c'est la vie
ebert saddens me because he's obviously such a clever dude but then his arguments are always so specious
and his reviews are always that devoid of content. he never sees fit to explain what's good and bad about a film, rather he just makes snide remarks about arbitrary details. it's maddening.

Which is a shame since he usually doesn't resort to such cheap shots for the sake of a review.
dude likes some cool stuff, and generally writes good reviews
sometimes though, dude just is off base
but then, my opinion on the entire subject is quite negative in the first place
so yeah, unsurprising I guess

Well
I don't
So there's that
he really just needs to stay away from soft sci-fi and superheroes
he does not do well with them
Doesn't mean I don't want it
robots can't harm humans
read a book man

Up against the wall pip

Pip ain't a lady
Nor consenting
my floor lamp is more threatening
I trust @The Lovely Bastard more than Ebert and I know for a fact that he unironically enjoys the later Killer Tomatoes films.

That cyborg bastard shat on Kick-Ass so hard.
Uhhhh that was millar
that's who I meant my b
Kick Ass was not bad because it said everything was terrible
Kick Ass was bad because it thought gruesome violence and vulgarity for their own sake was delightful
it's pretty good
Nor old man Logan
Nor 1985
Basically the good Millar stuff I've read is Morrison's so I have a hard time believing Millar can actually write
Typically I don't care for that kind of thing, but Nic Cage really sold me.
hey wait a minute @lost salient
were you ironically loving those killer tomato movies with me, sandra
were you lying to me the whole time
basically I like MIllar as long as he's working with the premise of "heroism is good" as opposed to "fuck you"
and that is definitely the premise of Superior it is basically that one all-star-superman page you should read it
mostly he found them delightful because sometimes he likes smearing a stained glass mirror with shit to prove it's dark outisde
Actually using what Grant taught him, odd
Nah I totally enjoyed the shit out of them, too.
That is why I trust your opinion more than Ebert's.

Ultimates was pretty damn great for the most part
at least the Thor stuff was
I really loved the Thor stuff
Fun fact Thor's political beliefs are closer to Millars than any other of his characters
He just writes republican jerks for some reason
I did like Ultimates and Ultimates 2 but grant did edit the former, ghost write an ish
really
wow
I really wasn't giving him enough respect
And will prejudge a movie before he watches it.
I can't remember the last time I read one of his reviews that wasn't linked from here because of "outrage".
Satans..... hints.....
