Leonard Maltin Movie Reviews

Leonard Maltin movie reviews can be found all over the place, as this noted film critic and historian has worked on television, in print, and even on those mini-reviews you seen before the movie theater goes dark. With his casual critical style and nice-guy demeanor, he’s managed to maintain his status as one of America’s top film experts for several decades.

Maltin was born on December 18th, 1950, and he was already writing about film by the age of 15. During this time, he published a fanzine known as Film Fan Monthly and penned articles for Classic Images. A degree in journalism was a logical next step, and Maltin received one from New York University.

His film criticism career exploded after graduation, with articles in everything from TV Guide to Variety. But many know him best for his continuing stint as film critic for Entertainment Tonight and his annual series of books entitled Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide.

Other Leonard Maltin film books include:

And the list goes on and on…

Those looking for Leonard Maltin movie reviews will also find that he’s all over television (Starz, syndicated TV, ReelzChannel) and even radio (Leonard Maltin on Video). And if you’ve got kids, you’ve probably seen him hosting the films included in the Walt Disney Treasures collection.

And if all that wasn’t enough, Leonard Maltin also has a presence on the Internet. His site, Leonard Maltin’s Movie Crazy, is billed as a place for people who love movies.

One of the many Leonard Maltin movie reviews actually got him in the Guinness Book of World Records for the shortest review. For the 1948 musical entitled Isn’t It Romantic?, Maltin’s review consisted only of one word: “No.”
