One of the best 'Making of' Documentaries I've seen in along long time. Informative and well put together, it tells the story of the series in an amazingly fresh way and brings the work that the cast and crew did to make this legendary series to the forefront. I didn't find a minute of it boring, even stories I'd heard before felt fresh and there is a lot of info and images in this movie that most fans probably wouldn't have even heard of, or at least it feels that way. This is also the only time I truly felt proud seeing the credits which are worth sitting through as it gets the actors to say their most memorable lines from the films that they made, which in itself is not only a glorious treat but makes for a wonderful rush of nostalgia.

i normally do not do 'making of's' but this was surprisingly refreshing (and i thought worth the watch as much as the installments themselves) hilariously funny in places total 'crackup'. Did not get boring in the least until maybe 15 minutes to go but nearly 4 hours of 'behind the scenes' is a lot in anyone's book. well presented, everyone is so wrapped up in freddie (even freddie is :) interesting also to see how 'quiet achievers' actually 'make it'. Not for the squeamish........... of course
