Yeah. He was more criticizing the character of Superman rather than the movie itself.
He did the exact same thing with the Fantastic Four, when they said "Dr. Doom is kind of like the second cousin of the Silver Surfer." They begin to poke fun at the comics and characters that aren't even included in the film.

The one I referred to was on television.
Not in the Fantastic Four review my friend, you have to see it before you come to this conclusion. 😬
I don't know this guy, but I am almost positive he is an idiot for two reasons.
a) Silver Surfer 🤨 ...Dr. Doom 🤨 ....idiot ✅ (clear?)
and more importantly
b) he suggested a kid would be a good addition in a movie ( I know you will say, "it's jsut his opinion, it can't be wrong, it doesn't make him stupid"...and well..YOU ARE WRONG)

Well, I guess his written one means nothing right?
He didnt suggest the actual kid would be better for Superman, he meant the type of character the kid is.

They weren't the same review, the one I'm referring to featured both Ebert & Roeper. 😬
I wasn't disputing that, but either way he did say he wanted him to be more like one of the Spy Kids which disconcerining.
It's no secret, the guy really seems to exhibit a rather hostile attitude when it comes to reviweing comic book flicks.
By this point in the review, are you growing a little restless? What am I gonna do, list names and actors and superpowers and nicknames forever?
The Fantastic Four are, in short, underwhelming. The edges kind of blur between them and other superhero teams. That's understandable. How many people could pass a test right now on who the X-Men are and what their powers are? Or would want to?
Unlike the others, who look normal except when actually exhibiting superpowers, he looks like - well, he looks like his suits would fit The Hulk, just as the Human Torch looks like The Flash, and the Invisible Woman reminds me of Storm in "X-Men."
What's more it also seems like he can't review one of them without stereotyping the characters by comparing them with others merely based on their gender or colors.
I think Ebert has a point that the Fantastic Four looks like a generic superhero movie, which it is and that the characters portrayed in the movie look and act like any other comic book character portrayed in movies.
If the movie is good, he wouldnt of said that, like his reviews of Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins.
Yes, the kid in Spy Kids is a kid. But Ebert is saying that the character emotions would of been for Superman Returns, in his opinion.

They create these absurd reviews, then are confused as to why some people are upset by them. *sigh*

Again, I say to that, don't review a movie in which you don't like the source material. It's not Tim Story's fault if the FF aren't your favorites.The only superhero movies a critique like that would be suitable for is original superhero movies (i.e. Darkman).
Wolfie has has summed it up best, can not stress these statements more.
[I]Ebert and Roeper Shouldn't be Allowed to Rate Comic Book Movies Anymore ✅

It is however Tim Story's fault for ruining the FF movie if they are your favirote characters 😄
Either way though Ebert's review for it was crap and his reasons for it were awful
..Fantastic Four was a horrible mess of a movie.
"Let's not fight."
"No..let's."
I mean..wtf? We already know Jessica's just there for T 'n A. I was REAL disappointed in Chikless' ( spelling someone? ) performance of Ben. The guy they got to be Reed is just..bland. About the only redeeming quality of the cast is the guy they got to play Johnny. Everything else about the film was...bad.
Oh. Ebert and Roper wouldn't know a good film if it jumped up and bit them in the ass.
