It's my least favorite of the reviews and it's still a masterpiece.

Feels a little repetitive and the serial killer side story is given way too much time (the bit was at its best when it was just offhand remarks, rather than developing into its own low budget side story). But, there's still some great insight. I particularly enjoyed the parts about which "artistic" choices were driven entirely by marketing.

More repetitive and disjointed but still very funny.

Pure gold for the first hour but loses some steam for the last third. Still worth your while.

It's funny as another cutting review that successfully trashes Lucas and his for-profit Star Wars installments. It's not so funny when it pushes the serial killer asides into a full blown sub-story.

I could take or leave most of the real-world stuff because it can feel mean-spirited and not funny. The rest is another long-winded but entertaining, informative, and thorough look at how a group of films can fail at nearly every single level and how art at this level is often an exercise in shameless marketing than it is a genuine attempt at exploring the human condition or creating something aesthetically important.

The review could have been ten to twenty minutes long to get its point across.

Entertaining, if a bit silly and unfocused bitchy takedown of SWEII is really just an extended video essay in construction and intent, livened by some darkly amusing (if somewhat incongruous) interludes involving kidnapping and murder (!) – it’s a shame that this extensive thread doesn’t really have a payoff, and the film proper seems to be building to something that never quite comes to pass; scores a few hits here and there but is ultimately too superficial (and repetitive) to really sting.
