Years ago before cable TV in my area, Siskel and Ebert was the best place for movie talk. Even though I may not have agreed with some of their reviews, it was a fine program. I liked the inclusion foreign films that never got much press. Rip, btw the Howard Stern scale episode displayed their sense of humor.
True story: I was going to watch Mission Impossible II but at the last minute I followed my brother's recommendation and bought tickets to Big Momma's House instead. I will never forgive him.
As a standalone action movie, Mission Impossible 2 is okay but it's really just a John Woo movie. And Mission impossible 2 is better than Big Momma's House 2. I'll tell you that right now. One of the worst sequels ever.
MI2 worst of the franchise imo. I saw it in the theatre and there was too much blah action/motorcycle “action” But yah big mommas house is not good, but I did love Martin Lawrence in blue streak and black night
"And I'm gonna tell you: "3D" SUCKS! (...) And it doesn't add anything, because I don't care, if the arm comes toward me from the screen! I'm really not-really moved by that!" :DDDD Me neither. ^_^
I have heard so many more people tell me specifically that 3D gives them a headache than people saying anything remotely positive about it. Personally it doesn’t give me a headache, but I barely notice it at all. It’s like going to movie theaters where the seats rumble. Neat trick, but who really cares?
I was working in a theater when it came out! I'm still not convinced it was a real movie and not a collective hallucination all film-goers had in 2003. Good news is we had fun beating up the cardboard display the studio sent us for the lobby after the film closed.
Red Davis My mom rented this and Scooby-Doo on the same day. Some double feature. We started with the latter first, then the disastrous MoD. I was 10 and hated it.
Haha exactly! I did block that person and all of his friends, but they actually stalked my channel and searched through my feed and kept finding ways to find my comments and bully me. They're really insane. But I've been ignoring them and they went away so its all good now
thank you. this person you responded to (and i know this was a year ago lol) has been saying awful things to me and calling my videos that i made when i was 9 or 10 gay and the worst shit ever and (loling) while he said it. He's done this continuously and he makes me sick.
Striking Distance is something that Steven Seagal probably said no to and they threw money at Bruce Willis. It's such a predictable and laughable experience. Master of Disguise...yipe! Big Momma's House...Mrs. Doubtfire as a FBI agent, enjoy some chuckles, but the ending was A HOWLER. Hard to Kill is a "so bad, it's good" movie with badass action sequences, but after that the dialogue and bad acting is truly hilarious. Scooby Doo (Why?) brought back the most hated character of the show...Scrappy-Doo and the second is truly unwatchable. After I sat through Mad Dog Time...came to the conclusion I never want to watch anything to do with Larry Bishop. These are true film critic legends.
He's right about 3D. I regret seeing Tron: Legacy in 3D. Made all of the colors washed out, movie was dark. It only had a bit more depth. I would have rather seen it in 2D.
Jordon Morgan Actually I think The Counselor is a good movie, but it's pretty uneven in the criterias of a movie. Scott actually managed - along with the cast and the technical crew - to make it into sort of a modern day western. It actually became dramatic towards the end, so I gave it Thumbs up.
I’m sure you knew this, but Roger wrote the screenplay for that film. It wasn’t mentioned in the video, so it’s interesting that you brought it up without supplying that context
Half of the comments below are so petulant and moronic (among other things) that I feel shamed for the people who wrote them. Who cares what they dressed like? or if they (or anyone else who likes them) is 'uncool'?...... RIP Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel... your voices, and writing, will be terribly missed by many.
I LUV Bruce Willis and Dana Carvey but I agree with the commentary on Master of Disguise and Striking Distance. And I'm with him on 3D sucking. "I don't care if the arm comes toward me from the screen. I'm not really moved by that." I Don't mean Any offense to people who like 3D. Everyone's eyes r different.
at least I'm not thrilled by someone getting cancer like a sicko. I certainly hope in day to come you become a better person. Also being a nerd isn't a bad thing you're a nerd as well just for different things.
No, psychosis caused that man to do what he did. Don't blame movies for intrinsic human problems, unless you're a troll. In which case, you still fail.
You're welcome. If I'm not going for the gold medal, I'm always striving for getting nothing but at least I'm in the competition. And in the words of a failed film director: "I'm doing the best with what's available".
Siskel was such a riot...RIP to both men
Ebert: ".....and if she were your nurse you'd rebuild your shattered body too". Comedy gold Roger. Agree, she was in her prime there.
R.I.P EBERT AND SISKEL YOU WILL BE MISSED

Tbf, Mission II is one the weakest film of the franchise

It's so funny and true what Ebert says about 3D!

Me neither. ^_^
3D always gives me a migarine headache and nausea.

Underworld was directed by that Genus Roger Christian who did Battlefield Earth. Sounds like he was pretty consistent from day one.
I can watch these videos again and again. Brilliant.
yes but I seem to recall music? they probably removed it for copyright
Yes I remember too. You’re right
Master of disguise was horrific. I remember my kid made me rent this horror.

His 3D comments still hold up.
MenwithHill still
The only 3D movie that amazed me was Jaws 3, because I was 8 years old.
Roger's glow in the dark watch is cool
Ukulele picks! XD
3D DOES Suck.
+Jay Nicks Did you see Beowulf? I thought that it looked really great with the combination of 3D and motion capture.
Ross Cicero I have not.
I only like 3D Imax like scene of flying over a mountain or space or something like that in a science or nature documentary.
Big Momma's House is a minstrel show.
Yup. That's why I never watched it. The trailer turned me off.
Striking distance was just fine for what it is.
"I like the dog! I like the dog!"
Haha exactly! I did block that person and all of his friends, but they actually stalked my channel and searched through my feed and kept finding ways to find my comments and bully me. They're really insane. But I've been ignoring them and they went away so its all good now
To be fair, that Steve Seagal movie looks pretty funny
Come on Ebert! It should've been Scooby Deux.
David SH I think the original title was Scooby Too.
I think he was going for the "doodoo" joke.
That Larry Bishop can't do crap. He has Mad Dog Time, Underworld, and Hell Ride.
i saw spy kids as a kid and i didnt know who sylvester stallone was back then, but even then, i remember his shitty line reads cringing me out lol
Talented and Martin Lawrence should NEVER be used in the same sentence!

Matthew lillard dose sound like shaggy from the cartoons which is awesome because he was in be cool scooby doo
And Larry Bishop also did Hell Ride.
The only film I saw where the 3D was actually good was life of pi

So what did they give Hard to Kill?
2 thumbs down.
@@SuperRod88 Wow! As much as I loved them. Sometimes they acted like sissies.
He's right about 3D. I regret seeing Tron: Legacy in 3D. Made all of the colors washed out, movie was dark. It only had a bit more depth. I would have rather seen it in 2D.
If it wasn't for Ridley Scott and the talented cast, The Counselor this year would've been nothing more than what Ebert said about Underworld.
Yeah that film really straddled that line. I think the direction and the acting as you say stopped it from being too ludicrous
Jordon Morgan Actually I think The Counselor is a good movie, but it's pretty uneven in the criterias of a movie. Scott actually managed - along with the cast and the technical crew - to make it into sort of a modern day western. It actually became dramatic towards the end, so I gave it Thumbs up.
Indeed. I thought it had its merits as well
what did he say?
The image distortions are creepy af
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is something of a cult classic.

@@monkeyballs512 I wish I remembered the context of my comment, haha. Not sure if I was replying to someone or what.
6:29 my favourite worst movie review of this show.

Scooby doo movie was freaking awesome
But he doesn't have cancer anymore... you said he still did, though.
Lingers in a coma for 7 years!!
Roger's cancer free.
Hard to Kill was ridiculous.
U need to block people like that. ;) He's using u like a rag to wipe his snotty nose on.
ha ebert says 3d sucks and its still correct today.
at least I'm not thrilled by someone getting cancer like a sicko. I certainly hope in day to come you become a better person. Also being a nerd isn't a bad thing you're a nerd as well just for different things.
Who ever said the movies were reality?
I HATE HATE HATE 3D
No, psychosis caused that man to do what he did. Don't blame movies for intrinsic human problems, unless you're a troll. In which case, you still fail.
Like all of Ebert's way kewl cartoon watching fanboys, we need this handsome man's direction on which film to see
Who the hell picks their clothes? An undertaker?
Both "Underworld" films were garbage.
I stopped watching the show after Gene Siskel died. The chemistry was all gone after that.
I agree Clem
3d is pointless.
The video encoding on this is the worst I have ever seen on RUclips. Congrats, SuperRod88

not so much funny; just honest.
Master of Disguise is funny
