Page "Roger Ebert" Paragraph 22

Ebert has reprinted his starred reviews in movie guides.

In his appearances on The Howard Stern Show, he was frequently challenged to defend his ratings.

Ebert stood by his opinions with one notable exception — when Stern pointed out that Ebert had given The Godfather Part II a three-star rating in 1974, but had subsequently given The Godfather Part III three and a half stars.

Ebert later added The Godfather Part II to his " Great Movies " list in October 2008 stating that his original review has often been cited as proof of his " worthlessness " but he still hasn't changed his mind and wouldn't change a word of his original review.
