Chefelf.com Night Life: Cerberus - Viewing Profile

No my friend you are talking nonsense, for a start every critic is right as long as they have a valid point to make and can back it up with fact, not subjective name calling like Ellison

My other point about bias reviews, Ellison has changed his mind so many times and has back track his opinions in the past, By your logic he has no right to comment about any other film but science fiction as that was his speciality

You also said If two critics say contradictory things about a work, then obviously one of them is wrong, Ellison reason for liking china town were compeltely different from other better critics who said the film deserved better than it got, so who is wrong because in terms of box office success the film flopped??

He also critised Gene Roddenberry over how much he changed one of his scripts that he had written for the show and still to this day thinks he was right, But the episode in question won many awards, So who again was right?

As well Ellison hated Star Wars, but as any intelligent film minded person will tell you modern cinema has a lot to thank Star Wars for, So was his opinion wrong there??

And why would you take his criticisms seriously as his career barely and I mean just barely brushed outside of TV, so what right does he have to comment on cinema??

Well then thats just silly I am afriad I will continue to listen and read the reviews of highly respected people that have never worked in the industry to get a good honest and non bias review, in your world my friend Jeff Gerstmann would never have gotten sacked for speaking the truth, because he wouldnt have been there in the first place..........

You have no right are you happy now??

I have no idea what your talking about, nor do I read stories so rant away

So your saying that if someone hasnt worked in the indusrty, lets take for example PC Gamer most of they review panel have never worked in the games industry, so by your logic they shouldnt have a professional opinion of games??

Or Yahtzee shouldnt have an opinion of CAD because he does not have his own successful online webcomic??

Nope my opinions have remained the same, but it depends on what level your asking me, on a personal level then it have to be the strength of the screenplay and the actors ect that make the film good or not, on a professional level they havent changed either, A film can still be badly made but a success and a excellent film, Le Vien Rose would be a good example of a badly made film that was very successful

And as you have missed my first point I will just explain again, Most of the "Professional and well respected" critics have never worked in the industry.
