Disappointing Documentary - William Shatner: You Can Call Me Bill review by GI
This documentary is more like an extended 'audience with....' rather than a detailed, warts and all, look at the life and career of the often ego inflated but somewhat iconic William Shatner. The film is basically him sitting in a big warehouse speaking about his views on life, death, the Earth and such like and you get very little about his journey through acting, into the legendary role of Captain Kirk and beyond. So if you're hoping for all the insider info on his infamous rift with Leonard Nimoy and the rest of the cast of Star Trek you'll be disappointed. Shatner does for the most part take himself very seriously although there are chinks that he gets that he's often a figure of fun and he gives his insight on being a comedian, not something he's particularly known for! But it's ultimately a bit boring really.
