but I somehow hadn't thought of the fact that TPM doesn't have any decent main character, which is a main contributing factor while it's so... "flat".

I never liked that argument of his.

I don't think a movie needs a single "main character" to be considered good. There are a lot of good movies with multiple "main characters;" The Seven Samurai springs immediately to mind, and even the OT has something of an ensemble cast.

I just think the failing with TPM was that they tried and failed to pull it off; none of the characters are well-defined enough to warrant an ensemble cast, and that makes it seem like it's a movie full of secondary characters that's missing a main character.

That was actually his point ;)

A lot of people seem to misunderstand that part. There is NO MAIN CHARACTER. Not MANY MAIN CHARACTERS.
