Got to agree with Johnny. Roger is way too easy to please, and it's especially unhelpful in cases like this, where most reviewers are butchering a highly anticipated film but Ebert seems like he's almost defaulted to a thumbs up to match the hype. He still knows how to spot good elements in a film (performances, editing, etc.), but his standard for what sum of these elements should make the whole film worth going to see is abysmally low.
i stopped lending any credence to roger ebert's movie reviews when i was about 15 :)
