"Who in the world wants to go to a lambada movie that ends with a trigonometry bee?" is one of the greatest sentences in history. Visitors from 5509, you're welcome.
An actual excerpt from Ebert's written review of North "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."
There's a scene in Batman Returns where Bruce Wayne is sitting in the dark, alone, thinking, brooding, waiting. Then the Bat-Signal shines in the window and the moment's over. But that two-second scene tells us more about Bruce than the entirety of Batman & Robin.
The greatest put down of all time: “I thought this was: Awful, dreadful, terrible, stupid, idiotic, unfunny, laboured, forced, painful, bad.” It’s just as good as: “I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie! I hated it! Hated every single, stupid, audience-insulting moment of it!”
There was no Siskel and Ebert before Siskel and Ebert, they were originals. I think there are people who are passionate about movies that have made careers and personas for themselves, and none of them should aspire to be another critic

North. One of the most atrocious misfires I have ever seen. This tried to use wit as a disguise to its colossal cold hearted plot device. Now. Irreconcilable Differences. That's a far better movie about this subject. Batman and Robin, better used as a dangerously idea of a drinking game using puns. Yikes! Jaws: The Revenge...in my top 40 worst films ever.
North: hard to believe it came from Reiner, who's got one of the best track records for excellent films. Batman&Robin: well, at least Alicia Silverstone looks hot, squeezed into that leather costume. Thumbs down to the movie; penis up for the deposit into my Spank Bank.
@@Blodia1990 I supposed it got better as it went along. But the overuse of CGI was disappointing to see from someone like Sam Raimi who did such good practical effects in other movies.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 It was indeed sad to see Raimi relying on CGI so much but it is practically impossible to practically have a stuntman fly through the skies without a huge risk of serious and life threatening injuries.
@@Blodia1990 I think some things could be worked out better with minimal CGI. Like the helicopter work in Darkman, it was all stunt work with a real guy hanging from a rope. Not to mention in the movie The Fly they had Jeff Goldblum sticking to walls as a human-fly and there was no CGI there, it was all practical, they had build a whole room that they would move around and the effect was stunning on screen. I think with the Spider-Man movies, it is mainly because Raimi did not have the freedom that he could have had on movies that he imagined himself, these were big movies and when you jump into that, you have to accept their rules. And it was easier as a big production to just go for the CGI and that's it. (Although I have noticed that in Amazing Spider-Man, they used stunt work more for Andrew Garfield and it already looked much better, (even though it was a bad movie))
Michael Caine apparently skipped the Oscars where he would have accepted an award because he was busy filming Jaws: the Revenge. The Oscars are nothing but a joke now, it's like when you give the special kids at school "good guy" trophies, but back then people still cared. Michael Caine, ahead of his time, gave ZERO shits about the stupid Oscars.
Roger mentioned that in his print review of North. And on the tv show, with the next film he did The American President, Roger mentioned North and what he said to compare it to AP, which he loved.
Hudson hawk was his first bomb as a lead which then lead to a couple of more bombs death becomes her and color of night. But I wouldn't say it was much of a down period seeing that die hard 2 came out one year earlier than hudson hawk and the last boy scout came out the same year as hudson hawk, both had commercial success
Shark 4 wants revenge for the deaths of the previous 3 - sounds reasonable enough. If they were close relatives of 4, that would be 3 very good reasons to want revenge. Problem solved.
"Maybe I'll watch Brain Candy again in the 21st century." Put your money where your mouth is, Rog! Review this movie again today and tell me it isn't funny! Oh, oh, you're dead?! A convenient excuse.
Brain candy is one of my favorite movies ever. I’m not exaggerating. I bought three copies of the dvd just so I could give two of them away. When I was in college, I used that movie like therapy. I watched it when I was overwhelmed by being a molecular cell biology major at Berkeley, just like how I sat at the feet of the trex skeleton and talked it through my neurosis. . . Brain candy is, in my opinion, the best movie I have ever had to get me through my own life. It is way more than a movie. It is a personal therapist at the price of a dvd. I love brain candy. I have agreed with ebert in other reviews. But this one is way over the line. I simply cannot respect anyone who does not like brain candy. It is the sort of movie that says way more about who is watching it than the film itself. Ebert just killed his reputation. I watch brain candy at least once a year just to maintain my own sanity.
Tyler Waters personally, I prefer Burton’s Batman movies to Nolan’s or Schumacher’s. While I do like quite a bit of Schumacher’s movies, his writing and directing can’t really compare to Nolan’s...especially with the Batman movies. But that really doesn’t excuse my two previous comments which were kinda rude. Sorry about that...I’m in one of those moods. Cheers man, keep well.
@@studbstrd3589 Haha no worries. I was obviously being sarcastic. Nolan's movies are the best Batman movies IMO, although the Burton ones aren't bad. Batman and Robin and Batman Forever aren't even watchable.

Roger Ebert said one thing that applies to practically all movies today - everything is arbitrary

Brain Candy is genius.

I'm sad to think we never got to hear Siskel's thoughts on Batman Begins
Man, Bruce Willis is QUITE the fixture of these videos lol
The North review is an all time classic
Especially for me, since that weekend, my father passed away from cancer. So separating from your parents is not a light thing.
I remember that I watched North as a kid. And it made so little of an impact on my child brain that I don’t know if I liked it or not.

"You should be embarrassed, Gene."

I'm sure Gene gave Lambada a thumb up just to piss Roger off
In the age of the internet, there will never be another Siskel & Ebert, because there are ten thousand people who think they can be Siskel & Ebert.

Ding dong man! Ding dong! Ding dong yo!
The banter between them during the Brain Candy review is a bromance. ♥️👊🏼
So I guess when you film dance sequences in a film, don't shoot from the butt up LOL. Good observation lol. I wouldn't have noticed.
10:25 -- But how do you REALLY feel about it, Roger? (A GENUINE LOLOL moment)
Ebert drops the ball on Brain Candy
He dropped it because why hold onto a movie this bad.
I did a double-take when Gene casually mentioned Melora Hardin in his Lambada review. Jan from The Office knew how to get down even then!
Well, she was the co-star there.
This is amazing. Thank you. Haven't seen some of these.
lmaooo ebert's lambada review
Gotta love Gene's face when he holds his laughs
Haha. “A friend of the other shark” cracked me up.
A better one would be it is the original shark reincarnated.
Nobody cares now, but it's not "North by Northwest" SMH. THAT'S a classic; the movie was called "North".
During the Brain Candy review, Siskel implies that Ebert may not have “gotten” it, and boy does Ebert get genuinely pissed.
I love Hudson Hawk, it's great.
I loved Hudson Hawk when I was little because we sang Swing On A Star in the school choir 😂
Siskel and Ebert were gold!
every single line starts from zero and goes nowhere!!!
I sort of agree with Roger about Spider Man. And why did you cut off some of Roger's words during the review?
Her name is just a trivia answer...damn!!...lmbo
Miss these guys. Loved their show.
Hudson Hawk is so annoyingly awful.
Brain Candy did not become a midnight cult film.
Are you sure about that?
@@ianmcnaney6528 Yes, as far as I know. You see it playing at midnight anywhere around you?
It was a disappointment at box office
Boy it sure sounded like Roeper was giving Spider Man a thumbs down
No, boredom, boredom with Benji running!
This is pure gold in video form. Thank you so much!
Guessing Ebert or roper never saw the Spiderman comics
Or even READ the Spider-Man comics.
Ebert: Spider-Man was too cartoonish😂😂😂 hahaha
he was right
Jaws the revenge was absolutely horrible.

Jaws the Revenge is the mother of all the roaring sharks that came after, a movie way ahead of its time.
North is absolutely atrocious.
When I was in high school my friends and I were huge fans of kids in the hall. I couldn't wait to see brain candy...I was disappointed.

He was completely correct about both movies SM2 > SM1
@@joejay4646 SM1 is a perfect superhero movie. Aside from some CGI looking a little dated, it's a perfect superhero film.
The hudson hawk film was a down period for bruce willis until his career with Travolta was resurrected by by pulp fiction.

Hudson hawk was his first bomb as a lead which then lead to a couple of more bombs death becomes her and color of night.

From what I saw here, Hudson Hawk doesn't look too bad.
I think if you watch the whole film, you'll agree with everyone who hated it. I haven't seen it myself, but I think that would happen if I watched it.
I find the movie quite entertaining of course I'm a B film lover, and seek out the hidden gems like this one.
It's not as good as an average "Moonlighting" episode.
The 1st Raimi Spiderman sucked ASS. There, I said it.
Everything to do with Uncle Ben is not just good but excellent. I don't mind the rest of the movie but come on, suck is a strong word
Man Roger went off on Lambada, this is hilarious
I remember being disappointed when I saw "Batman & Robin". A true bummer.
