Amateurish as hell, of course, but that's part of its charm

Amazingly faithful to the original, but more importantly, a testament to devotion, tenacity, and resourcefulness. You have to admire their dedication. The stunts, effects, camerawork, and editing are surprisingly competent, even impressive. And if some aspects are hilariously sub-Hollywood or necessary D.I.Y. low-budget sacrifices, they're at least charming. While it's certainly no substitute for the original, it's such a giddy romp that it's definitely worth seeing once.
