Pete Wentz 'praises Kanye's Runaway'

Pete Wentz has praised Kanye West's film Runaway as the "most ambitious" clip of the decade.

The Fall Out Boy bassist saw the 40-minute video during a recent screening in Los Angeles and told MTV News that he enjoyed the experience.

"So, I had the chance to sit in the audience as Kanye West had a showing in Los Angeles of the extended video/movie for Runaway [and] I don't want to spoil the experience for those who haven't seen it yet, but in my opinion it is the single most ambitious 'music video' of the decade, if you could even put it in the category of a 'music video'," he explained.

"It reminds me of when I was younger and no matter what Michael Jackson had done last, the next thing [he did] not only topped it, but completely raised the bar beyond what anyone else was capable of. Now I'm not going to compare the content of M.J. to Kanye as they are two completely different artists... I mean in the sheer scope and size of the project."

Wentz continued: "There is a dinner table scene that jumps from [something] from a Noah Baumbach film - where the camera stays on the scene just long enough to make the viewer feel a little bit uncomfortable - to something out of what could be a Jim Henson creation ... within the same scene too.

"The calibre and scale of this project is Kanye West at his best - largely artist and artistically large. If you get the chance, check it out, if only for the experience of something so different."

Runaway will premiere Saturday night at 8/7c on MTV.
