Steineded How sad is this?

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Herbest8 The voice artists and comic book nerds strike back at the critics and studio CEOs in "Comic Book: The Movie" which is a bright and inventive mockumentary from first time director Mark Hamill.The story concerns Don Swan (played by Hamill) as he travels to the San Diego Comic-Con convention in order to make a documentary about his favorite superhero, soon to be rebooted as a modern day anti-terrorist.What can you say about such a superb film? Well, it's very well-made (you almost feel as if your there) and the acting is just great with Tom Kenny as the stand-out but that's not to slight this great cast which also includes Jess Harnell, David Prowse and Jim Cmmings. The cast is just unbeatable. The scenery also adds a nice, surreal tone to the whole thing. I had fun just gazing at all the pop culture icons walking around Hamill and his fellow actors.However, it does lose steam in it's last eight minutes. I can't help but feel that they lost confidence and abandoned the format that had served them so well for the bulk of the film. But that minor quibble barely puts a dent in this light and funny film. This is a winner above and beyond.

joshstep41 Silly little film shot very cheaply by Mark Hamill and crew about the never-ending battle between Hollywood and the average geek. Skywalker stars as a comic book fan/store owner who is recruited by a group of film producers to talk up positive press for an upcoming big screen adaptation of his favorite character : Commander Courage.There's definitely something left to be desired with this film (shot on DV) given the mockumentary genre, however the humor is pretty much dead on given the comic book/fantasy/sci-fi audience.Many cameo appearances including Bruce Campbell, Greg Nicotero, Ron Perlman, and many more really provide a good level of enjoyment for us geeks. Having been shot mostly at a California Comic Book convention it's a wonder that more passersby didn't recognize Hamill. Maybe many did, however this isn't shown in the film nor in any special features I could find on the DVD edition.Watch for a great Joker and Harley Quinn look-a-like couple at the convention and after party.

mandamess The movie was rather odd, but it did have its moments. It works better if one really knows comics, vintage collectibles, the movie industry, and the actors involved (especially the ones known for voiceovers for popular shows). For those heavily into science fiction and comics, it was fun to pick out the people making cameos, including the "Men Behind the Mask." Mark Hamill's approach showed respect and reverence for the fan base, as well as poking a healthy dose of fun at the movie industry. The DVD has a lot of extra information including some of the panels these talented actors chaired. The movie was made for the fans, but unlike some movies of this ilk, they showed respect instead of making it a geeks on parade feature.

glh1936 Well, not really..........BUT it sounded like a good grabber line.Actually, it seems as if their creator gave this a "thumbs up", since he allowed them to use that vignette of him. I really didn't realize how much he'd look like "Bob".Although I was taken aback at how much Luke Skywalker has aged, I did enjoy seeing him still standing up for old-fashioned values. I do enjoy the X-Men, and the Titans, I still have a very warm spot in my memory for Captain Marvel, Aquaman, and The Flash. And I still prefer Robin to Nightshade.As far as the quality of the movie - it did drag quite a bit in places (Day 1 seemed to take up half the length of the movie) and they skimmed over Leo's realization that the old "hildhood friends" were fake...I'd like to have seen mor of Sid and Johnathan.
