Show me one review in which he does this.

How is he a failed director?

Film criticism was always his primary career.
>>
Why would you listen to any? You aren't a pleb incapable of forming an opinion and need one handed to you, right? Surely when you watch a film you can form your own criticisms of it without prompting.

literally why would you listen to someone who knows nothing about actual filmmaking

if they haven't made a film or written a screenplay their opinion is literally worthless

Why?

Making films and watching them is a completely different process.

You don't need to know how something is made to say if you like it or not, but you do in order to critique it.

>The labyrinthine opening shot of “Revenge of the Sith”— of Anakin and Obi-Wan giving chase to Dooku through the space vehicles on the planet of Coruscant—is a mighty and audacious gauntlet-throw, the digital equivalent of the opening shot of Orson Welles’s “Touch of Evil.”

He said you can like it or dislike it but you can't critique it

To have a valid critique you should know the inner workings of whatever you're analyzing. And being well read about filmmaking isn't the same as being a filmmaker either.
>>
>>68897320
No, you can dislike it, but you can't critique properly.
>>
>>68897588
>>68897672
I honestly don't understand what you're saying.

Only filmmakers can critique films? Do you realize how retarded that sounds?

I really liked him until he milked Pixar's nuts by giving Inside Out such glorious praise.

I still respect most of his opinions.

My favourite critic to listen to. Even if I disagree with his reviews, which happens a lot, he articulates himself so well I keep listening.

His Ratchet and Clank review just posted might be the worst he's ever done though.

Try bringing up a feminist response to a film that doesn't really necessitate it and see if you can get Mark to say it was a "well written email"

Jonathan Ross had pretty good written reviews that he just read out via teleprompter on the BBC Film Show. Too bad he became too Hollywood to do them anymore.

Funny, I was just listening to his Age of Ultron review earlier today. He basically said the movie was shit but still complimented Joss Whedons treatment of the characters.

By that logic the only people who can critique a film are people who have made one entirely by themselves, fulfilling every role from actor to screenwriter to gaffer to fucking tea boy because they can't only truly understand the machinations of those roles until they do them themselves.

>>
>>68901215
Reminds me of the Excel booty call. So Kermode is BET-tier stupid
>>
I used to listen to his reviews, but since SPECTRE I've stayed away. He made it sound like the greatest Bond ever ffs.
>>
>>68902146

Lots of critics liked SPECTRE, I remember a lot of 5/5 reviews in the papers when it came out. I imagine he'll probably become a lot softer on it as the years go by.

It's still a decent movie but nowhere near as good as most of them said, obviously.

He got a look of flak for the review when they did the Top 10 whenever it was in it though.
