Stan Lee’s Superhumans: Season One

Interesting stuff, but a bit too drawn-out


Television series

Rod Lott
He’s a legend in the comics world — and rightfully so — for creating the likes of Spider-Man, Hulk, The Fantastic Four and X-Men, but that was, like, decades ago.

Tetsuo: The Bullet Man

Man and machine make for much sci-fi mayhem


Sci-Fi

Rod Lott
In the tradition of Frankenstein, The Fly, Hulk and your last nightmare that involved a toolbox comes "Tetsuo: The Bullet Man," the overdue third piece in Shinya Tsukamoto's twisted trilogy that began with 1989's "Tetsuo: The Iron Man."

The Avengers

So many superheroes, so little satisfaction.


Action

Rod Lott
I swear I’m not playing the contrarian card for the sake of doing so, but I disliked The Avengers — not with a passion, but mere disengagement. With the exception of Thor, I loved all the films leading up to this ultimate one, from 2008’s Iron Man to last summer’s Captain America: The First Avenger. I even entered this one carrying next-to-no expectations.

With Great Power ...: The Stan Lee Story

A not-quite-Marvelous look at a pop-culture giant.


Documentary

Rod Lott
There's a great story surrounding Stan Lee and Marvel Comics. I know because a month ago, I read all about it in Sean Howe’s new book about the very topic. As for the documentary With Great Power  ...: The Stan Lee Story, however, it's perfectly fine if the only portrait you care to see is superficial, self-laudatory and largely wart-free.
