The Movies That Made Us

I love the stories, but the editing makes it impossible to watch. Can't they let someone speak a sentence without being interrupted by edits or unnecessary comments from the narrator?! This would be bearable for a 5 minute YouTube video, if I absolutely had to watch it, but not for a 40 minute "documentary" series. Disappointing, I loved The Toys That Made Us.

Where is the other narrator? He was much better. The new narrator does not convey the humor of the scenes and speaks very fast. And it completely lost references to the rest of the series. A wasted universe.

This has so much potential but the way it's edited/narrated is like listening to someone with ADHD tell you a story. It jumps all over the place.

Backwards in time. Forwards in time. Person A starts a sentence. Narrator interrupts. Person B finishes the sentence. Clip from the movie. Back to person A.

It's nauseating.

I could barely stand the narrator and editing of "The Movies That Made Us". In this sister series, it's so much worse. Words are taken out of context from interviews and the narrator here is telling this real-life story like it's a story written for 7 year olds. Some things don't have to be explained word-for-word! While a great concept, the execution is pretty poor. It's baby's first documentary about moviemaking.

The actual information and interviews are great but the voice over is ANNOYING!
