The film is an interesting one. For me as a big fan of James's work, not just AVGN, the quality of it wasn't as important as the journey. He made a film that was way too over ambitious for a filmmaker of his level and that was the whole point. He had an opportunity to live out a dream of his that he would probably have never had another opportunity to do being the niche internet personality that he is.

In that sense, the actual making of the film was a lot more interesting and I think whether the film was objectively the best thing ever, worst thing ever or something in between, it didn't matter as much as seeing him create the B-movie he always wanted to with all the filmmaking techniques and ideas he had talked about over the years that he liked and appreciated coming to fruition on a large scale and then being able to actually premiere it in theaters.

It was a great journey and one of the best things he included on the home media release other than the awesome making of featurettes was a live audience reaction track from the premiere because it demonstrates why it was all worth it. I think showing it in theaters and getting to hear and see those reactions to his work meant more to him than whatever people thought of the film overall. Is it flawed? Yes. Does it have some good stuff? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Just depends what you as a fan take away from it. For me after years of following his work it was something that I appreciated for the effort he put in as a filmmaker. That's how I'll always view this film which is a unique circumstance. Creation over content.
