What Hamill and crew do with Comic Book: The Movie is take the documentary format...and flip it over in a satirical manner Go to Full Review

Say what you will about the various types of fanboys out there, but one thing seems fairly certain: the geeks do know how to laugh at themselves. Go to Full Review

The movie will probably play better for those with a better appreciation for the world of comics than for those without... Go to Full Review

Comic Book reminded me of a DVD bonus item that might be included with a disc's main attraction to help sell the feature. Go to Full Review

Oaklee D @ODie63 Sep 14 A fun film full of dry humor, cameos and references that will satisfy even the biggest nerd. See more 08/30/2020 Ok movie starring Mark Hamill. See more 06/09/2018 Ok movie starring Mark Hamill.

While it is admirable that Hamill could make a film like this with just a few days of Comic-Con to shoot in, it drags too much. Part of the problem is that it's a fanboy orgy, but unless you are a hardcore fan, a lot of the cameo are rather pointless. Of example, I like Bruce Timm's work, but I have no idea of what the man looks like. After the film was over I noticed Timm is in the film, but he's not pointed out. A lot of people are completely wasted, like the late Jonathan Winters. It's a pretty muddy concept with a self-righteous ending. It was a huge disappointment.
