the french idiotic masterclass is an exercise in faux-maximalist theatrics that drowns in Greig Fraser imitation and has thrived off nostalgia for the 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤 montage. although once you get past the NVE pony and all the warning signs plastered in the video description you are left with a solid, but prosaic mixed bag of fantastic originals, lackluster stunts and a handful of relands.
with the exception of a couple oddities the french idiotic masterclasses assemblage of stunts are inferior takes on bumps from their predecessors that have released as far back as 2022 and uninspired dual stunts from spots dated 2018 and beyond. these sentiments are held mainly for the opener, 2:06 , 2:29 , 3:38 , 5:39 , 7:22 and 8:06. predictably, the stunts i excluded that still checked the boxes where because instead of being inferior, they are nothing more then relands. those are 1:36, 3:53 and 6:56, with the strongest elements of the french idiotic masterclass instead being the few selection of motorbike stunts that innovate on, or landed spots that have been sought throughout the past 10 years which includes my personal favorite of the video; 1:20. likewise, 2:50 , 3:20 , 5:15 and 6:03 are all great stunts, even if the first two bumps used for 6:03 are as cardboard as the editing the video is packaged in.
a major sustain that i avow in the french idiotic masterclass is the absurd banality in which ferox and honor approached this montage with, oozing with pale imitation and larger then life aspirations that swirled into a drab once you look past the 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘤 façade presented. i could drone onwards about dune comparisons but what is most dissapointing to me is honors insistence on bizzare effects that are complete dissonant drabble, not motifed throughout his section, and not at all present during ferox's reign for the first half of the video. ultimately the lack of cohesion of those elements is what brings it down for me the most, although effects like the camera cracking, or pixel sorted transitions are absolutely clichéd right out of the gate. while i disdain the blatent theft it doesn't go without saying the camera work is fine, the video displays great velocity even if the attached bike shots are redudant quick. my standout shots include 4:32, absolutely stunning. 5:54 and 7:19. a major resultant of my dislike for the french idiotic masterclass gets facilitated by the uninspiring music that soundtracks the video. the extremely unpersonable and obnoxious atmosphere that scores the stunts absolutely ruins the replayability and further spirals down the maximalist daftness that facilitates the editing.
while perhaps impressive in a vaccum, the french idiotic masterclass requires an extreme level of disillusionment from its 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 to reach any level of the greatness associated with the video.
