My Review-
Out of all the documentaries that I have seen or that is on my list for this one of a day thing, this is my favorite one out of all of them. Every year when Comic-Con rolls around I only see what goes on from what they show on television or on the internet, Morgan Spurlock goes deeper into that. With interviews from almost all types of people that go to Comic-Con well everyone mentioned above we see a different kind of Comic-Con. The side we see is from the people that actually go every year for something different or for those who just want to be around people just like them and let out their Geeky side to a Stormtrooper or just a get chance to meet people like Stan Lee or Kevin Smith. This film also follows the journeys of six really interesting individuals and what they are letting their geek pride show, or just trying to make it in the comic book world. The film also has the the stories and expreiences from the people that we go to meet, ranging from seeing ninja turtles on the sidewalk to standing next to a stormtrooper and a klingon have a conversation and even themselves getting star struck when they see someone that they have always wanted to me was pretty cool to watch. If you are a comic book geek, have ever been to comic con, or want to go, this is the documentary for you. Its where for a few days you can meet people who come from all around the United States to be with other fans of comics, movies and toys and all just get along. Hearing all the cool stories and seeing all they different types of people that go to Comic-Con was amazing and makes me want to go even more then ever now, I believe that Spurlock made one of his best documentaries to date with this one. However this is in a limited release but you can watch it like I did with VOD, it is worth the money to watch this documentary and see some really cool stuff and the talent that some of these people have is just amazing. Harry Knowles says in the documentary, "This is mecca and what that means to these to these sorts of geeks people like me this is a place where you go and your probably very normal." This is a documentary for geeks and non geeks a like, and if your not a geek maybe this will make you one.
