Quote:
Ebert panned both David Gale and Gods and Generals, mostly on idealogical, philosophical, and moral grounds.
Which means, I guess, that people who don't share Mr. Ebert's opinions will love both films.

In the case of David Gale, I don't think that's a fair assessment at all. Based on his other reviews I've read, Ebert strikes me as a pretty liberal guy, I certainly don't think he's a strong proponent of the death penalty. From what I've read of the reviews, even people who agree with the movie's politics are calling it a lousy movie. And both David Gale and Gods & Generals are getting trashed pretty thoroughly on RottenTomatoes.com.
