It just seems to me, that he didnt' like GF II as much as the GF and found some reasons to back up his point. His scathing criticism isn't even in the least balanced out by the technical, literal, metaphoric, dramatic or cinematic qualities of the film, which I would imagine would be the function of a good critic. Not saying he isn't a good critic; he just seems to me at times have some pretty peculiar and idiosyncratic ways of criticizing films, that were recieved better by fans and his peers alike.

But, as was said before everyone is a critic.
