    Review 209: obviously hype for more comicbook movies, this film contains all the awesome elements for a comicbook (movie) fan's pleasure.

    A fairly humdrum documentary about comic books and their big screen counter parts. To its credit it does talk about some of Marvels failures, like the early 90's fantastic four movie that never saw the light of day or the cheesy Captain America movie. Ultimately it put me to sleep, but I was tired that day, so you be the judge

    Yes   |   No
