He's one of the few critics who knew how to set the record straight with movies. Not everyone could agree with him but many felt he got it right most of the time.
He leaves some big shoes to fill.
I was just coming to make a post, one of the best if not the best critics ever along with Mr.Siskel who died years ago.
R.I.P
I just read it online, so sad I always went by his reviews.
RIP
Roger Ebert was a legend,a film genius whose reviews along with his early partner Gene Siskel was a must see or read.
There might be a Siskel & Ebert at the movies above.
