This new film by Morgan Spurlock also has a thesis. But above all, it doesn't feel to be so pushy too much. But, you see, to me it seems, that it's enough to show up at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego to get the idea about what is actually happening there and make a brilliant documentary about it. That's my basic reservation. But "Comic-Con Episode IV" is an enjoyable watch. After all, we're all freaks and geeks, but some of us haven't found what is it that makes them geky or nerdy. Not yet, at least.
I'm really fascinated by the movie, not just because I'm a fan too myself. The doc says a lot about the American society. After all, it's all about the pursuit of happiness, this whole fan idea, isn't it?
My full review in Polish was published on filmnews.com.pl here, (included below) but I also included this movie in my Top 3 documentary list during the last American Film Festival in Wroclaw. More here.
