Cyns Corner Hadn't heard of this documentary until I got an invitation to watch an online screening. Much of the information presented was stuff I already knew, but there were a few bits of new/unknown information that were pretty interesting. Also notable that this came out in 2018, well before the current massive and embarrassing decline in quality of Disney's Marvel films. This was from back in the day when they were still good. Now they've be come a pathetic, empty shell of their former selves. It's pretty sad, tbh. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a very good overview of the influence of Comics on the movies and vice versa. I learned a lot I didn't know. I enjoyed it. So lovely seeing Stan Lee again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A very good distillation of the impact of Superhero movies at the cinema.
