Ultimately, what I enjoy and admire most about Ebert is role as a critic who champions film. AFAIK, he introduced and lauded Miyazaki to the mainstream US. His derision of P&S and education on OAR is well know within this forum. I know of no other critic than attends more obscure film festivals, and organizes and presides over them to boot.
Yes. I agree with Peter on this. Ultimately, this guy is on "our" side. I don't know any critic in any medium that we can agree with 100% of the time. One thing I'm sure about, Ebert is a true film lover and has done a great deal to promote and preserve film and film history.
