This is really a good "mockumentary" film based on what Hollywood is doing to our beloved Comic books. Directed by Luke Skywalker...I mean, Mark Hamill (Sorry, but you know I had to do that, lol), along with voice talents such like Billy West (Futurama and Space Jam), Jess Harnell (Animaniacs), Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), and many more in their first ever live-action movie appearance, with co-stars Kevin Smith, Stan Lee, Hugh Hefner, Bruce Campbell, and Donna D'Errico. This movie will leave you laughing all the way to the end. It's simple, the fan (Don Swan, played by Mark Hamill) doesn't want these filmmakers to make this movie of a revamped version of his favorite superhero. So he's on this quest to stop it before they go through with it. It's a very well-made film and it has really great actors in this too, even though they never acted on screen before (well those who are the voice actors). They stayed in character so well and did a convincing job in their roles. Especially Mark Hamill who was tremendously great in his role as Don Swan. Basically everyone was great in this film (and I can't believe this movie doesn't have a script! Wow, their improvisation is really good for the plot and very hilarious too). This is a must-see for everyone and even if you don't like comic books to begin with. You can even watch it because of seeing your favorite voice actor for the first time or seeing the wonderful and great Mark Hamill from the Star Wars movies (did you know that Mark Hamill was the Joker from the 1990's Batman animated TV show? How cool is that??). This movie is very inspiring and cultural to comic books in it's own way. No one is going to be bored or thinking the humor is lame. It's a really great comedy for everyone and I think you will like it as much as I do. And there's a lot of cameos of famous actors and stars that you will be surprised to see (You get to see Winnie the Pooh!...well, the actor of course...lol)

I remember when I was young when I first watched this, and it made me want to do comic book movies so much every time I watch it. And I don't know why, but it does or it just makes me want to read all of my comic books again for some reason. It has a big effect on my life as a filmmaker and a comic book collector and I thank Mark Hamill for that. But go see this movie now!
