Perhaps it falls under "damning with faint praise", but this is the best movie in what has become a sprawling, bloated, incomprehensible monstrosity of a "universe". It's a relic of a leaner, more thoughtful, artistic time. It might be lacking, but it had aspirations and made the effort and I'll always have a soft spot for fine craftsmanship even if it doesn't quite rise to the level of art.
