His 1990s writing pale in comparison to his work for the previous 3 decades.
At least he isn't the idiotic review that Roeper is. Roeper has admitted to not liking black and white movies and thinking that the Little Rascals films should be tossed on the scrap heap of history for being "racist". Leonard Maltin would beg to differ on both points.
Roeper is a terrible critic who signifies the trend for populist 'regular guys' as film critics as opposed to people who actually know something about the medium, its aesthetics, its history.
