And one other thing

Too many people, apparently Victor included, need to realize that a professional critic must not only pass judgment on a film, but must also describe both positive and negative elements of a film. They also write knowing that their audiences are varied, with different tastes, and the critics job is to communicate to members of that audience elements of the film they may enjoy. So while Ebert may not like a film, because it may not be his taste, he realizes that the film will be to the taste of people in his audience, and needs to make those readers aware of whether they would like the film.

And far from being a "Hollywood shill", there is probably not a critic in this world who reviews more foreign and independent films than does Ebert. He also runs a film festival largely for those films that are not churned out by the big studios. But then, unless you actually took the time to read Ebert, these are facts which a writer would be unaware.
