I guess you could say that I dislike him intensely, and critics as a whole maybe a little less intensely.
He's nowhere near as bad as Rex Reed or the Medvid/Lyons combo. Ebert at least knows how hard it is to make a bad movie (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls).

And if his politics influenced all of his reviews, he would have loved "The Life of David Gale."
