Watching old Siskel & Ebert Reviews

for some reason i never thought to go look up S/E reviews of movies. man after watching some of these Gene Siskel was a total pussy. I could only imagine what he would say about movies today (especially post-Japanese invasion and post-gore porn genre)
post some good ones that you find
Die Hard (Ebert haaated it)
Evil Dead (Panned by both. Siskel would hate movies today)
Se7en (Siskel bitches about gore again)
Jurassic Park (Ebert doesn't feel there is a "sense of aw" or "majesty" with the dinos)
Aliens (Ebert thinks it was "overkill" and didn't want his friends to see it. Siskel gives a thumbs down b/c he's a total pussy)

Hard to believe these guys opinions were considered gospel at one point

While I respect Roger Ebert's experience in revewing movies, he gets it wrong pretty often. 2 stars for Clockwork Orange comse to mind as one of his worst. I saw he gave a mere 3 stars to In the Mood for Love, should be 4 no question.
Came across this recently (maybe from this board):

?On my phone, so I can't link it, but their review of TMNT is seriously a huge bag of butthurt.

I remember them being so big in the 80's - because before Rotten Tomatoes...they were IT.
People would say..."we need to see this...Siskel and Ebert liked it." - This usually meant it must be good because their shtick was being split. Their TV show seemed to be always on.
I always thought Ebert just loved everything and Siskel was more discriminating and sophisticated as a child.
Now after reading Eberts blog as an adult and looking back...I'm realizing that Siskel just hated pretty much everything that was commercially successful.

Ebert is the hack's hack.
And when he dabbles in politics it really gets sordid.

Ebert's review of the film North is amazing.

As much of a pussy and a grinch as Siskel was, Leonard Maltin was the biggest pussy of all. See if you can find his review of Saturn 3, which is hilarious.
"Filled with icky special effects."

What a crock. The first time you see the dinos in J-Park I giggle like a school girl. It's very very majestic.
It's in my desert island 5

He's right, the Dinos were no where near as frightening as the shark in Jaws

Really? I valued his opinion more so than Ebert's.
