I've been working on bits and pieces of this thing since last year; it was a disaster area. I rewrote and fully decrufted it, but now I'm not sure where to go with it.

I already explained about how the poor execution downplays the humor of the article, and how to fox up the concept to provide better humor, but there are 2) other things I like to talk about. The assassination of Lincoln was just completely stupid. Unless there was a film that had Ford play as Lincoln's assassin, this should be removed, as it throws the topic off somewhere, and doing that kind of thing is just ridiculous.
In my opinion, the best thing of this article is the part about the film receiving lukewarm reception because it wasn't long enough. I thought that was just perfect. That has so much potential, I think you should expand on that.

Gotta say I was pretty disappointed with how this article about a well-known actor was poorly executed. I see that this was an article constantly edited by noobs and IPs till you fixed it up. But even with the few fix ups I'm afraid they aren't enough to save this article. The main problem is that much of the details of his life are fictional and while it's not bad to put a few fictional details in articles, it downplays the article if it makes up just about most of the article. When it comes to articles about people, truth usually prevails over nonsense, as the best articles are closer to the truth. I was hoping to see a lot of references to his film work, but that, with the sole exception of that quote and in the images, that really didn't came into fruition until I got to the final section, and while I did enjoy that better than anything else, it was not enough to give the a higher score. I like to see more about his real personal life, as there is a lot of humor that can be made from that (he had 3 wives over the course of his life). He also does his own stunts, so there's some potential humor in that. Or maybe even combine his life with one of many fictional characters he portrays and state the movies are based off Ford's real life experience. There's a lot of potential humor that could be made. All it requires is a little dedication.

This section pretty much has the highest score of this article. The spelling and grammar is pretty good for the most part, though I'm not really a pro at that kind of thing. Other than the red link under the "See Also section, the only other problem I have with this article is the lack of a opening paragraph. Opening paragraphs gets the reader interested in the article, and without it, not only does it make the article nonprofessional, but there's nothing that can get the reader interested. Other than that, not bad on prose and grammar.

There are two, but the second one doesn't seem to fit that well, so I advise you remove it. The first one is fine but it needs a better caption. I advise you obtain a few images of Ford himself and him portraying his characters.
