While I've always liked Ebert's writing style, I feel like at this point in his career he has a tendency to pre-judge movies so completely that unless the cake really is a lie, movies are always exactly what he expects.
If he goes in expecting to be entertained, he is always entertained.
If he goes in expecting to not have fun, he never has fun.
This is why I read his column for fun, not movie-going advice.
