comic book represent the movie could have be so much more . it could have uncover why people love comic to the point of worship and or why so many individual feel the need to collect . it could have push u into the deep end of the nostalgia pool . it could have be both a loving and cynical look at the world of comic book fandom . and most important of all and it could have be extremely funny . well and it at least tried to be funny . but it fail miserably in that regard . let me say and first and foremost and that this be no wait for guffman . it try to be a mockumentary and but it look like it film on video and appearslike anyone could have do it . ( not that i be knock that completely while i like edgy film and i like film that could have be film in somebody basement while my problem here be and the film be otherwise extremely slick . the poor filming quality with the slick editing just doesn not cut it for me . though and i should state that the fake cover of the commander courage comic book be extraordinarily well craft . ) i also have a problem with much of the acting . in the christopher guest mock and you always get an idea that these be human being . craze . outlandish . sometimes off the wall ( i. e. fred willard in a mighty wind ) . but human nonetheless . not so here . the people portray the studio exec be very poor while they be like second rate community theatre player in search of a laugh line . some of their mannerism be way over the top for the stage and let alone a movie . i think mark hamill have moment that work a an actor while his passion and mania for commander courage ( his fave superhero ) be sometimes touch . his rant about his love of this superhero be at time amuse . but again and where be the human be . i saw a stock character the comic book fanatic a oppose to a person who happen to be a comic book fanatic . i enjoy hamill in other film while but i guess when direct himself and he not able to guide himself into a plausible character . my favorite actor be the gregarious cameraman and mainly because his impersonation be spot on and he alone provide some of the movie only laugh . kevin smith be fine and a be the other celebrity guest . but they aren not in the film long enough to sustain it . it hamill baby and and he not charismatic enough or strong enough in this particular performance to carry it . at time you think you might catch a glimpse of a comic loving corky st. clair and or someone like corky and but that never occur . hamill donald swann be annoy to many of the people onscreen and and soon enough and he become annoy to the audience watch the film . not a good sign . the film also felt especially long . shoah last many hour and i be never bore while this film be only 107 minute and it felt like an eternity . i guess if you be a comic book fan and you will find some enjoyment in the behind the scene look at the san diego comic con and where much of this take place . but if youre not and good luck . use the comic book grade scale for condition and i give comic book represent the movie a very generous rating of fair .
