They love a ton of classics too. I disagree with both a lot but I can't say they didn't have educated opinions on the subject and I've found a lot of great hidden gems from their reviewsYeah, I don't mind them. And I loved Ebert when he started doing his blog. Whether they liked a movie or not was usually irrelevant to me, it's how they were able to succinctly describe their how they felt or their issues with it.
This is like the 4th topic on Siskel and Ebert I have seen on CE in the last monthI just realized Ive been watching their segments because of the CE topic about their Ghostbusters II review.
You can still respect opinions you disagree with.
No wonder they gave critics a bad name for decades.
They were literally the reason from a young age I learned to ignore critics when it came to both movies and games.
They were fun to watch and I'm not gonna fault them for not liking everything I likeThey are so fun to watch. And no critic is ever going to like or hate everything I hate or like. It would be foolish of me to think so

But then the internet really makes it unnecessary to have film critics beyond answering the simple question of: Is this film for you personally?
@FortuneCookie
Still even if you don't take their opinion into consideration, there is still appeal in how they make their assessments entertaining. Especially when they disagreed with each other. Good case is Home Alone 3.
Here is their Die Hard Review.
And I can't help put to think that Ebert did not know much about police.

Ebert: "This is the one where they finally got it right. I liked it better than the other two."
Siskel: "...than the original Home Alone???"
lol. Siskel has this look on his face like he's just a heard a murder confession; like half of him is in disbelief of what he's hearing and half of him is wondering if he's going to be silenced as a witness.

They hated slasher movies even when they were goodI have to laugh at their "review" of Silent Night, Deadly Night. Siskel says very little about the movie and spends his time naming and shaming everybody involved in making the movie.
With the exception of halloween but they trashed so many slashers which are bona-fide classics now
And despite claiming they hated it because they were sexist they still chose to only release the address of Mrs Voorhees actress and told their fans to send her hate mail
lol we use a different frame of his reaction to that as a custom emoji in my movie server
