The Story:
A biography covering the life and career of Stan Lee and the characters that he created for Marvel Comics.
I love Stan Lee.
You'll never find a more engaging pitchman who so believes in what he does than Stan.
While I no longer read the comics, I will always love the characters that he created, or to spread the love truthfully, co-created in many instances.
Writing comics would probably be my dream job, therefore Stan Lee is my ultimate hero.
He had the job that I would love to have, but would always feel I could never live up to.
But man, it would be a blast to try!
To sit back and realize that YOU are the man telling stories about Spider-Man...or the Fantastic Four...or...
Yeah, pretty cool gig.
And for the most part, all of the other people that are interviewed in this film also gush about how cool Stan is, both genuine and personable.
Plus, there's some nice Stan at home scenes with his lovely wife, those two are still madly in love after all these years.
So if you want to see a good documentary on Stan and the history of Marvel, here you go!
Now available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: B
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Maybe I'll watch it again in a few years, but nothing that screams "buy me!"
