YES HE DOES need to sit through the whole movie. That's his job. That is his only job.

I have little to no respect for Rex Reed as a film critic, but I have to defend his review. He said it was unwatchable and left after 20 minutes of being punished by images he could not stomach. There is nothing wrong with that and he is being honest to the "critic code" I think. As an editor, though, I would have suggested he make his "unwatchable" admission the lead so there's no question about his opinion of what follows (i.e. it was unwatchable and here's why).

Its said he can't even get basic plot points right. Isnt that your basic job as a critic.

If he admits to leaving early, I would say it's not a big problem…except he made a point of stating in his headline that it sucks 'from start to finish'. I mean, come on, that's just asking for it.

Christ, the guy's almost 80 years old, and has sat through his share of shit. Jeez, Ken, does the poor bastard really need to sit through all of "VHS 2"? He admitted to leaving after twenty minutes, so as far as I'm concerned he can write whatever the hell he wants.

Quit hating on the people it's so easy to hate on. BE BRAVE IN YOUR HATE, AMERICA!!! QUIT JUMPING ON BANDWAGONS!!!

Normally I'd say twenty minutes is plenty, but in an anthology film?

Armond White is contrarian on purpose. Rex Reed just gives his honest opinion (and V/H/S 2 is definitely unwatchable).
