I never made it past a huge boss fight where you seemingly had to have more than one person in your party.

Yeah, you're not going to meet with any resistance there.

…I don't believe I will watch it again, once this week is plenty for a while. As for being objective, I don't believe it's unassailable, quite the opposite, but calling it "as big a mess as any of his later work" is, to my understanding of things, inaccurate.
