A documentary series on some of the most famous performers from the world of cinema.
Mediocre. The stars are reasonably well chosen and there is some interesting information about them. The clips from movies are also well chosen and make you want to go out and see those films.
However, most of the interviews are the same critics and 'experts' saying how wonderful such and such is. They'll even highlight abysmal movies and say how great they were in it. It's very unobjective and irritating.
More than this, it's formulaic. They do the same thing over and over: different star, same interviewees, same empty platitudes.
Some genuine analysis and objective criticism would have gone a long way.
