Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's clearly an infomercial for Stan Lee and Marvel, but he's such an engaging and charming raconteur that you don't mind. Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I appreciated that the filmmakers allowed [unflattering] information in the film... But this is a film made by people who love Stan Lee. Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times For anyone who only knows Stan Lee from his Marvel Cinematic Universe cameos and his general pop-culture presence, this movie offers a solid introduction to the origins of a whole generation of superheroes. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Thwarted by superhero worship... Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media This is a loving tribute to the best known of the comic book creators who helped create so many iconic superheroes and villains. Rated: 4/5 Aug 14, 2023 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu The well-made documentary hits all the high points and is a ready reckoner for anyone interested in a one-sided telling of comics history.

Tyler S I recommend this to any Marvel fan. Without Stan Lee, my life would be pretty boring. This guy gave me a life and so much excitement. To quote Deadpool, Stan Lee is the REAL Marvel Jesus. RIP and bless his soul. Thank you for everything! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Manguns Anne Have you all heard of the latest trending news around the internet, how some group of company employed internet poster's/reviewer's to review their company, finding true companies seems very difficult but here i am to give you a scope of knowing through story and true review. How you type your searching words on the google search engine is very important and determines the result that is going to pop up, e.g., you are trying to get into a website, you can remember the website name but obviously do not know the website host provider domain to add so it can redirect you to the page automatically. In this kind of case what you do is to type the website name on the google, once the result display, you are going to find more than 1 option, so you have to select the right one else you might be on a clone website without knowing, so it is very necessary to know what you are doing nowadays online, read every story and don't be carried away by AI grammar, these scammer's often uses AI to generate crypto recovery fake reviews and this help them look professional and more presentable than the true stories itself from the experienced one, i was scammed several times but my quest to prove that their is no crypto recovery service led me to meeting with Alienwizbot who is an online internet legit hacker and available at trusted platform like Upwork itself, Sitejabber, Trustpilot, reviews site, After reading a true story written by Miss Maria about how Alienwizbot got her sc*med funds back, my heart was captured cause i could feel the story, it was exactly what i was going through, so much frustration, and different kind of negative taught intruding my minds, i was restless at that period of time, haven't read about the wonderious cyber skills rendered to scam victim and other hack-tech perfomed on device by gaining access into mobile without physical touch, after i confirmed it to be true i decide to put them into my own test which i complied with the alienwizbot company policy, it wasn't a big task, Alienwizbot took a week and 3 days to get to the root of everything, we then have them all who where involved in the act, and have their wallet cleared out anonymously without they knowing where the issue is from, Kudos to Alienwizbot. com who is well reachable quicker by what sApp +1-626- 264- -5164, Alien Wizbot is such a great human in our generation and he should be rewarded for his service, he has restored so many finance to investors who nearly end ups in debt without know where their next meal is coming from, we all are able to write and smile because of a good hacker who choose to work for good and not like the bad once out their looking for every penny to get rid off. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Gioele M 🇮🇹 La genuinità di quest'uomo all'interno di questo documentario è splendida. Stan Lee è un docu-film, che in poco più di 1h va a ripercorrere la storia, la vita ed il mito di questo fantastico artista. Inizialmente pensavo ad un classico documentario in cui venisse raccontata la storia di Stan, ma tutto viene reso incredibilmente più magico data la presenza di immagini realizzate attraverso l'uso delle marionette, che vanno a descrivere un pezzo di storia che vuol essere raccontato. All'interno di quest'opera si capisce cosa ha lasciato alla storia questo uomo e viene dimostrato il perché, adesso, i film tratti dalle sue storie riescono ad incassare così tanto. Stan Lee è solamente paragonabile ad artisti del livello di Walt Disney, per ciò a cui ha contribuito alla cultura pop attuale. Da un punto di vista cinematografico, essendo comunque un documentario, non è necessario avere una incredibile qualità, ma non per questo essa non viene tralasciata, infatti è molto scorrevole e ti riesce a far immergere nell'emozione, cosa che vuol essere trasmessa dal documentario stesso; le animazioni e le sequenza sono realizzate bene, così come la colonna sonora che reca un fantastico accompagnamento a tutto l'intero docu-film. Consigliato per appassionati e non solo!

🇬🇧 The genuineness of this man within this documentary is splendid. Stan Lee is a docu-film, which in just over 1h goes to retrace the history, life and myth of this fantastic artist. Initially I was thinking of a classic documentary in which Stan's story was told, but everything is made incredibly more magical given the presence of images made through the use of puppets, which go to describe a piece of history that wants to be told. Within this work you can understand what this man has left to history and it is shown why, now, the films taken from his stories manage to collect so much. Stan Lee is only comparable to artists at the Walt Disney level, for what he contributed to today's pop culture. From a cinematographic point of view, being still a documentary, it is not necessary to have an incredible quality, but not for this reason it is not left out, in fact it is very smooth and manages to immerse you in emotion, which wants to be transmitted by the documentary itself; the animations and sequence are well made, as well as the soundtrack that brings a fantastic accompaniment to the story. Recommended for fan and not only! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review matthias s "Stan Lee" is a fun and charming tribute to a comic book icon. While it may not delve as deeply as some viewers would have hoped, it still offers an enjoyable glimpse into the life of Stan Lee and his contributions to the world of superheroes. Fans of the Marvel Universe and comic book history will appreciate this documentary, but for those seeking a more comprehensive exploration, they might be left wanting more. Excelsior! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Alysha S The documentary affirms and shows how Stan Lee did more than write comic books. That he even helped society. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Tony J Good watch, made me learn more about him. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
