Saying that, Kermode also likes the Twilight movies, so…

I like kermode as a critic, but like any critic I dont always agree with him. Kermodes main flaw is he can be something of a 'hipster' I belive the term is. If something is widely regarded as crap, he'll decide he likes it and if something is critically lauded he'll come out and argue it was crap. I think the thing to do is listen to kermodes arguments, i've actually sat through the films as part of my job too and his arguments dont hold up to any major scrutiny, the conslusion I came to was that he'd decided to like these films after hearing a lot of the internet opinions of the movies.
