I think that of their problems is that both of the reviewers are TV movie critics rather than newspaper movie critics. Another problem is that they don't have the charisma of Siskal and Ebert. Siskal had a clear personality of a critic who valued artistic quality, while Ebert had an opinion of a movie which directly correlated to how much fun he had watching it. Neither of the two new guys have any clear cut personalities (except that they both LOOK wimpy). Personally, I try not to watch Sneak Previews any more. It depresses me. However, I do watch "At the Movies" each week. Siskal and Ebert forever!
