    I wanted to love this.

    As a fan of Mr Breen's ouvre, I had high hopes for this "masterclass." My 5 out of 10 star review has nothing to do with the numerous technical flaws in the camerawork, sound, and lighting -- if you appreciate Neil Breen, you overlook any of this. Put simply, this is about 30 minutes of interesting information which gets repeated over and over, padding out to five and a half hours. It's a bit of a chore, even for Breen fans and completists. If you find a highlight reel on YouTube or elsewhere, you can save yourself a lot of time.

    5 hours lol

    Decided to watch this movie just to see if he know what he creates or he's as "grand"as his character, and to see how such low budget things work on such low and personal level. Well now, i skipped a lot, pointless repetitive scenes with bad narative (and many without any).

    5 hours where you listen to repeating sentences, repeating of the same few scenes and few "backstage" shots. Idk what is worse - him believing he did outstanding job (while the results are worse than a 6th grade school project we've seen so many on youtube), the fact that he really seems to have spend so much money on these expensive cameras where even entry level ones will give exactly the same result, or the fact that him talking in this documentary is so poorly edited - added extra words afterwards for correction, badly stitched scenes where you have few frames with zero sound.

    I decided to watch his movies after seeing the hilarious explosions in his 5th movie , and i thought it was just a fan personal project where the person is down on Earth and knowing he's done poor job. Definitely doesnt' seem the case here lol.

    When you hear him saying that he likes to challenge himself, and to make the every next movie bigger and better, yet his acting didnt change at all in the first 4 movies (havent seen the 5th yet), the script changed to zero plot to barely any plot, and the CGI effects he's using don't change much - that slow ghost-disapearing is something we see in every movie, so no upgrade here.

    I like bad movies (like Troma), but Troma seems miles ahead of that. I don't trash talk (or at least dont trash review) on bad movies and fan-made movies, when it's obvious the people are just messing around and knowing it's total BS. But when you have serious 5-hour explanation how he did amazing job... lol well then.

    P.s. I looove how he's that all-powerful being in every movie, Chuck Noris has someone superior to him.
