I’ve imported all of Ebert’s reviews (with only the first two paragraphs of the review itself) to letterboxd:

Here’s all his 1/2 star reviews:
https://letterboxd.com/re2/tag/-%E2%98%86%E2%98%86%E2%98%86/films/ https://letterboxd.com/re2/tag/-%E2%98%86%E2%98%86%E2%98%86/...
And those didn’t even rate a 1/2 star:
https://letterboxd.com/re2/tag/%F0%9F%91%8E/films/ https://letterboxd.com/re2/tag/%F0%9F%91%8E/films/
His great movies:

Was a fun coding exercise a couple Christmases ago. The hard part was cleaning up the data and matching the reviews to the correct movie in tmdb.
I also had to decide how to map his 0-4 star system to letterboxd’s 0.5-5 star system. I ended up mapping his 0 stars to 0.5 stars on letterboxd, and for everything else just add a full star.
I never got access to letterboxd’s API. I just used their CSV import system.
