I'm somewhere between Emmy and the rest, really.
RD was great, although given how much of it was a straight lift, there was no excuse for it not being so.
PF is a genuine masterpiece.
JB... oh dear.
KBv1? Well, when the attribution to the opening quotation comes up, it's clear that this is film-making with its head so far up its own arse, it can probably see daylight. And, yep, there is plenty of 'look at me look at me' stuff in there.
But it certainly has moments. Even if some of them are nicked from other films. And often not done as well as the original - that wire work is second rate.
I'll see vol 2, and his next one (will that be announced as the fifth or sixth film, I wonder?) but I may not see the one after that.
