Heroes Manufactured (2017)

Best movie of this year hands down!

The Worst Film Ever

Overrated

Absolutely Brilliant!

A good entry level documentary. Feels a bit slow and mundane at times buy a good first take on the Canadian Comic book industry!I personally would have wanted to see more about the comic book artists in Canada but the film took a turn into a different area that I did not expect which made it interesting but steered away from its Canadianism. The film portrayed the story of a Mexican-Canadian artist by the name of Alfonso Espinos, who runs a comic book publishing company called Studio Comics Press. It follows a variety of artist in a balanced sense but turned away from the fact that it is Canadian by nature. I really enjoy the interviews and think that the story was interesting on a whole. Great Film with a unique twist at the end, hint, hint Stan Lee appearance!!!!

I managed to see this online via the Atlas Awards closed online film festival. The doc is very inspiring overall. It drags a bit, but some very awesome footage of Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, and celebrities. As a writer and filmmaker myself, I was really inspired after watching this film. The doc explores the various motifs and struggles that independent artists and writers must face when entering the industry. There are so many cool examples of this throughout the film. They explore the story of Mexican-Canadian Artist as well which gives the film a nice touch. The only problem I have with the film is that at first, it seems a bit disjointed. I wasn't quite sure who we are following in the story but eventually, this was evident and clear to me as you keep watching the film. It's one of those films where you have to keep watching to get the full effect of the message and understanding of the subject matter. Great take on the comic book industry in Canada and Abroad. I recommend anyone who wants to get into comics to see this film. I would also recommend filmmakers watch this doc as it gives insight into a massive industry that is filled with surprises, let downs and successes. I really enjoyed this film and would honestly recommend watching it if you like documentaries.

Pretty interesting flick.The film explores the inside look into the creation of independent comic books in Canada and abroad. The film lays out the sensationalism of pop culture and mass media. Celebrity culture galore and comic book culture galore.Some really neat insight into dc comic book creator Ty Templeton who worked on Batman animated series comics. I also like the bit about Neal Adams, He is a really interesting guy. Seems abit of clown but he gives you the facts about getting involved with the industry and how crumby some people can really be around you.I would give this film a good rating. 7 out of 10. If you like pop culture and sensationalism, watch this film. If not you missed out I guess!!!!

Very nice doc put together. A lot of Cameos of Celebs, not real big on that. But the subject was good and they didn't overdo it with Cameos. I almost think they were not needed. It does help move the film a little though, Which I would like to add.Very cool insight into independent comic culture and Scene. I would have wanted to see them get out of just Canada. There is a bigger world of comics out there.But for what they made, it was nicely arranged!I'd give it a 9, but it needs some work on the story as they focus too much on one artist!I recommend it as a good watch!
