Naturally I don't always agree with his opinions, but generally I think he is a fine critic. I've always respected him and thought he did a great job on his annual movie guide book which, sadly, is no more.
However, one thing that annoyed me about his movie guide reviews was his tendency to say a movie is "overlong". I mean it's okay to say that a movie is overlong once in a while because certain movies truly are too long. But it got to the point where Maltin was using that term way, way too often when it wasn't really warranted.
