I've been meaning to post about this guy for ages but finally decided to after reading some comments on the kill Bill thread.
I cannot remember the last time I read one of his reviews which I either agreed with or in which I saw any resemblence to the film I saw.
Fair enough, people have different tastes, but it has got to the point now where if I have seen a film, I go and have a look at the review pages knowing he'll of thought the complete opposite. Which he invariably does. It would be laughable if it wasn't so annoying.
As for his latest review-kill bill . I appreciate that Until I see the film myself (roll on Frdiay ) I cannot really comment. however, I would say every review I have read has been almost universally positive. As has been everybodys post about it here and on other boards. Empire's review was a bit mixed but still pointed out a lot that it saw was good in the film and conceded that reservations with it may have had to do with the fact that it is really just half a movie. What did Paul reckon? garbage. No redeeming features, even slated what by all accounts is an excellent little piece of anime.
How he got the job I don't know.
So is it me or does anyone else think this guy is a joke?
