The fact is Rosenbaum, Sarris, et al. write considerably more intelligently and with more insight than the average critic, Ebert included. One need only to actually read their reviews to see that. Citing stats observed on freakin' Rotten Tomatoes demonstrates nothing of significance.You've spent an inordinate amount of time looking at the things that don't matter. The actual reviews and ideas of the people we're discussing do. Now, there's nothing wrong in liking a middlebrow like Ebert. More power to you. Just don't get so bent out of shape that his middling efforts don't suit everyone else.
