Stan's the man?.......2002-06-19
This is one hell of a DVD to own - if you are a comic book fan. For those of you who aren't, well stay away. Legendary Marvel comic book writer Stan Lee appears in two separate interviews with indie film director Kevin Smith. In the first interview, Stan focuses entirely on Spiderman, arguably his most famous creation. The second (and more enjoyable) interview focuses on Stan's other comic book creations, including The Hulk, Daredevil and The X-Men.
For comic book fans, the second interview is by far the more interesting as it looks at the growth of Marvel Comics from it's early roots to today. Stan also gives more insight into his early life, revealing how and why he got into the industry and about his relationship with some of the famous artists he worked with.
Unfortunately, the Spiderman interview doesn't reveal anything too new - comic fans will know about most of of this already. Stan doesn't seem to understand what all the fuss is about and often insists that he should be interviewing Smith, who he thinks is far more interesting, thus giving the viewer the impression that he finds the whole thing pretty embarrassing.
Extras are, on the whole, a bit of a yawn - these include a chat with Stan's wife, Stan reciting one of his poems and a misleading Fantastic Four movie extra. This is simply Stan talking for two minutes about a never released FF movie and not the movie itself!
The behind-the-scenes extra is a bit of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, but still quite endearing. Thumbs up though to the fantastic Spider Man movie trailer.
