Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

boomstick7693 I don't know why people don't like it...but if you are a comic geek, like me, you will love this film. Trust me. It all deals with Hollywood wanting to adapt a revamp of a golden age comic character, Commander Courage. When Mark Hamill's character gets involved he tries to get them to go for the golden age character but runs into some obstacles...so anyway, I like it, thought it was great...plus it relates to me because of my hatred for what Hollywood does (sometimes) to comic characters and remaking classic films and turning them into crap. I suggest it to comic lovers...some non comic geeks might find it too boring.

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.

klchu I give the movie itself 6 stars and the DVD extras 8 stars. This movie has its heart in the right place and does assemble some of the best voice talent around. It's great to see these people in front of the camera. I only wish that they had added some writers into the mix. This movie is mostly ad-libbed in the style of "Spinal Tap" and other Christopher Guest movies so some of the jokes work, and others don't. Since everyone is trying to be "realistic" almost all of the jokes are subtle so the inattentive viewer is likely to miss them.I found that the DVD extras are the best part of this DVD. There are two disks, so there are a lot of extras. There are lots of helpful bios in case you missed some of the many cameos of industry insiders and other "masked" performers. The deleted scenes are actually pretty good (for deleted scenes). The best part is the real convention panel with all of the talent on stage telling stories and doing voices.Bottom line, if you love comics and animation, and even video games, then see this movie just to learn about the talent. Use IMDb to see what some of these people have done and you will be amazed. If you aren't into comics then this movie might be interesting to you just to learn about a different culture.

papercutprod The hearts are in the right place and the fun is found in details and indirect references to the goings on in the comic book adaptation machine. Fans and non-fans might find fun in it, and I cheer Mark Hamill for initiating this. The one small caveat is that the viewer should be someone who is aware, for example, of Kevin Smith's screenplay for Superman Lives. If that kind of detail isn't as interesting for you to follow, or if you genuinely care more about "news reports" that followed every detail of the "Bennifer" situation a while back, then stick to the usual reality TV that is clogging the airwaves. This movie introduces us to a few people we might not recognize, but who are revealed in extra features to be great unseen celebrities and artists. I hope Hamill keeps directing, and perhaps tries something genre related and with a tripod. Good stuff. I'll show my DVD enthusiastically.
