Siskel died three years before it came out.
Check You Tube. And I think there is an archive of Siskel and Ebert/Ebert and Roeper reviews somewhere (Disney had an online archive but I'm not sure if it's still around since PBS produces Ebert's new show).
More Buscemi at http://forum.reelsociety.com/I remember someone was discussing Roger Ebert's text review of the Powerpuff Girls movie on some forum once, about how he unfairly used the term "color-coded heroes", and I tried to look it up myself in a certain archive but couldn't find it. I did find his review of the Power Rangers movie which also used the term "color-coded heroes", though.
Respect the Red Right Hand
I think I remember they also said that they hated Mark Hamill's Joker when they reviewed Mask of the Phantasm, and yet he's considered the definitive Joker by a vast majority of fans. The closest explanation I can think of for why their views are so different is that they just aren't One Of Us.
Wasn't Hamill's Joker considered campy by some? Especially when compared to Nicholson?

Respect the Red Right Hand
I'm not blaming them for their reaction to the film. These are film reviewers, after all. They're going to spend their time watching the theatrically released films, not episodes of the show to see what the fuss is about.
I'd imagine more plot-based shows (that is, if the movie ends in a grand finale) would have it even worse, since the critics would likely be locked out of the loop.
I put on my robe and tinfoil hat...It might have. I don't know for sure, since I don't know of any examples of the situation I described.

Not Quite Batman
Ebert is old-school, in a way that can only be described as "warlike". He can, and will, get on his high horse about things he doesn't quite grasp. We all know that.

I've been looking for it for some time. Is it lost to the ages, or is it archived somewhere?
