IMDB critic reviews (Siskel & Ebert)


Ive noticed that Roget Eberts reviews are always at the top of the list of critic reviews, but I can never find Gene Siskels older reviews. Any reason for this?

Ebert was the most prominent critic of his day and also took well to the internet in its nascent period, launching his website that today still stands as a prominent hub of film criticism. Siskel, by contrast, passed away before he could fully take advantage of the internet as a platform, and his publisher (Chicago Tribune) did not archive the bulk of his reviews online.

Fortunately, some of Siskel's published reviews can still be found on the web, and a good portion of his and Ebert's show has been preserved and can be found at https://siskelebert.org/.
