I'm not sure who made the decision to have him talk for almost the entire time, I'm sure it was him because he sure loves seeing himself in front of the camera. But we don't love seeing him from the camera. I love watching movies that entertain. This did not entertain. This was pretentious and 100% about ego stroking. I was hoping it would be 90% scenes from movies and 10% him. Nope.
I'm in the process of going back and watching movies mostly from the 30s and 40s but some all the way up to the 80s. Most of them are excellent but lately the directors have gotten into preaching and not into entertaining. That's why we go to the movies, not to be preached to. That's why the last movie I went to in the theaters was Top Gun Maverick and I went three times. It hasn't been anything since that even slightly makes me want to go back.
