“I don’t have any clever rants, trolls, snarcky witticisms to add to these comments. I just like Joe’s reviews and have read them for a long time. His reviews are thoughtful, often funny, insightful and, above all, humane. They shy away from the usual cinemato-speak of auteurs and genres. They...”Read full review »

“Every five or so reviews he spoils the ending of a film, which is extremely frustrating since it never seems necessary to deliver his message.”

“Sorry but I think Joe is open-minded and tolerant, almost to the extreme. He is insightful and articulate and has given us useful reviews for decades. Giddy Griddy, you don’t explain your negative snark regarding Joe’s review quality although you do soften your stance somewhat after that. Why...”Read full review »

“Your review of Alita Battle Angel serves to express your age and "tired old grumpy man" status in life. Retire, go dust off the trinkets you've collected and allow someone with taste a chance to express themselves. I'm on your lawn with my dog, and I am not cleaning it up.”Read full review »

“I wish Mr. Morgenstern got over some of his genre biases, but otherwise this podcast is a great resource for anyone who wants concise, witty (if dry), smart movie reviews.”

“I enjoy the host's voice, but the reviews don't often tell enough about the film, and sometimes I can't even tell by the end if the critic is recommending the movie or not.”Read full review »

“This guy has an irritating voice, and talks slooooooowly (I actually listened to his review at 1.5x speed, and that made it at least manageable). He tries to speak eloquently by using big or uncommon words, but it just comes off as forced. His reviews are only a few minutes long, so there's...”Read full review »

“If a movie reviewer has many haters who bash him for criticizing movies like Twilight then he has to be good. Seriously, do you want to read or listen to a critic who loves every big movie release or someone who is willing to emphasize things he doesn't like? I'd choose the second.”Read full review »

“After listening to your rude and not so funny comments on anything Twilight it's obvious your just a waste of good space and time. You don't get Twiilght and it's not for you WHY THE HELL ARE YOU REVIEWING IT ? Review movies that your actually interested in and stop wasting time.”Read full review »

Joe serves up an amazing amount of detailed coverage (background history, descriptions of various nuances in the film, etc...) considering how brief and to the point his reviews are.

“With Diane Keaton, Sarah J.Parker, Luke Wilson, Craig T. Nelson, Mina Suvino and a magnificient supporting cast, this is by far the funniest movie I've seen in quite a few years. With a mixture of pathos and touching scenes masterfully done, the Christmas season invites the prodigal son home...”Read full review »
