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

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.

Rated: 4/5

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

Rated: 2/4

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

I really wanted to like this film, but it's just not very good. 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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Even though his role is rather small, once again Bruce Campbell saves another movie from being a total snooze-fest.

This is a movie that celebrates the inner geek in everyone. And yeah you have to understand comics and the passion that some fanboy's have to get the jokes. But i would hardly call it a horrible movie. I've seen far worse.
