Huge loss. He had a deep insight into what made films great. He was brutal to movies he didn't like, but if part of your job involved having to watch movies that you knew were going to suck, you would be brutal too. I know the GI Joe and Transformer movies are beyond shitty but I don't have to sit through them. Ebert is one of the few critics I would see a movie based on his reviews.
