I'm a big fan of Kermode and yet I have no interest in movies whatsoever. Film fanatics I know tend to scorn Kermode, so maybe he's more suitable to the ambivalent film person rather than trying to preach to the converted.

Well, I'm a film fanatic and I love him. He does that clever thing of cutting through the pretension and bullshit to get the core of whether a film is actually good or not and always gives credit when it's due. He got Mamma Mia! spot on.
