Say what you will about the various types of fanboys out there, but one thing seems fairly certain: the geeks do know how to laugh at themselves. Go to Full Review

Kylo R Jan 5, 2009 Director and star Mark Hamill makes this mockumentary of Hollywood and Comic Con culture. It is pretty uneven. Some jokes land. 2004 was the same year of the first The Incredibles, which made a statement too about the flood of superhero movies that were hitting Hollywood with the latest CGI effects. This little film has many celebrity cameos and references to a Batman-like dark hero with a long road to the big screen. See more
Hermione R Jun 19, 2008 Is "Comic Book: The Movie" for everyone? Not really. It's a niche film, similar to other comic book-related films like "Comic Book Villains" and the superhero parody "The Specials". The underappreciated "Mystery Men" also required knowledge of comic book lore to fully "get". See more
