Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
moviefan-68437 I enjoy watching the movie at Cineplex, a story never seen before. the best part of the movie is to come to the realization that a greater number of the comic books are created in Canada. Stan Lee participation is fantastic but the real hero of the documentary is Alphonso's Story, at times you can feel what he feel throughout the movie, his energy is what it makes the film go quick with the desire to see more about of him and his comics. the participation of a great number of other no-so-well-known comic book creators is amazing too, the selection was simply great.
Testo I have the chance to watch this documentary during the GeekFest 2017 and I was engaged with the pace of the film, the movie covers a lot of what the current comic book scene is all about. There was a few extra appearances of celebs in the film that feel too much but not to the point that it feel that was over done.The film also cover a variety of different artist from Canada like Ty Templeton and Richard Comelly however the real deal of the film is the participation of Alfonso a Canadian-Mexican comic book artist publisher and great supporter of the industry with his own publishing company named Studio Comics, he added a great piece in the doc making it feel real and you can truly see the reason of his success in the comic book scene. At times it feels incomplete and wanting to see more about what Alphonso does.Also the participation of Ty templeton to the doc adds a nice touch of experience.over all is a nice educational and "want to see more" film.
minnienorwalk Pretty interesting flick.The film explores the inside look into the creation of independent comic books in Canada and abroad. The film lays out the sensationalism of pop culture and mass media. Celebrity culture galore and comic book culture galore.Some really neat insight into dc comic book creator Ty Templeton who worked on Batman animated series comics. I also like the bit about Neal Adams, He is a really interesting guy. Seems abit of clown but he gives you the facts about getting involved with the industry and how crumby some people can really be around you.I would give this film a good rating. 7 out of 10. If you like pop culture and sensationalism, watch this film. If not you missed out I guess!!!!
jessbaron I'm huge comic convention follower.I met these guys in Montreal last year. Loved this movie! I especially liked that they really took the time to speak to artists.I wish to see more of Canada in the film.Very much love for Canada and Comic Art and illustration.They have William Shatner, RUN DMC, and many other celebrities.Thank you for supporting Montreal and French-Canadien Art and Comics.Many Artist represented from Montreal Comic Con and Toronto Fan EXPO.I also really like, that there are so many fans! I love this documentary. I am putting it as one of my favorites now! I truly enjoy this movie!!!!
