The fuck?

Not only does Ebert provide major spoilers in his review of KB2, as well, but he gets major fucking events wrong! What the fuck was he smoking? Four stars or not, I honestly have to question whether he saw the movie. Again, no link, because anyone who hasn't see the movie should avoid this review.

Well, at least he's consistent.

At this stage, I'm willing to bet he never saw either movie, and just had someone else report in to him.

Ah, but what about those of us who HAVE seen the movie, and are curious about what he got wrong?

Not that I can't find it myself, I'm just sayin'.

Personally, I'm not a regular Ebert reader, because every freakin' time I get directed to an Ebert review, it has factual errors and/or he just punts on the plot with a sort of "Then some confusing stuff that I couldn't follow and didn't care to happened." It astonishes me at this point that they don't have someone fact-checking him.

Yeah, Ebert's a moron. Movie Answer Man (http://www.suntimes.com/index/answ-man.html), my ass.

(Just returned from the film . . . )
I actually wonder if he didn't see an earlier cut. It's not unlikely, since the film has been pushed back a few times and it had already been completely shot. I can imagine that Pai Mei had been dubbed but then the decision was made (thank God) to use subtitles.
