Heroes Manufactured (2017)

What a waste of my time!!!

Masterful Movie

Absolutely Fantastic

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I enjoy watching the movie at Cineplex, a story never seen before. the best part of the movie is to come to the realization that a greater number of the comic books are created in Canada. Stan Lee participation is fantastic but the real hero of the documentary is Alphonso's Story, at times you can feel what he feel throughout the movie, his energy is what it makes the film go quick with the desire to see more about of him and his comics. the participation of a great number of other no-so-well-known comic book creators is amazing too, the selection was simply great.

I have the chance to watch this documentary during the GeekFest 2017 and I was engaged with the pace of the film, the movie covers a lot of what the current comic book scene is all about. There was a few extra appearances of celebs in the film that feel too much but not to the point that it feel that was over done.The film also cover a variety of different artist from Canada like Ty Templeton and Richard Comelly however the real deal of the film is the participation of Alfonso a Canadian-Mexican comic book artist publisher and great supporter of the industry with his own publishing company named Studio Comics, he added a great piece in the doc making it feel real and you can truly see the reason of his success in the comic book scene. At times it feels incomplete and wanting to see more about what Alphonso does.Also the participation of Ty templeton to the doc adds a nice touch of experience.over all is a nice educational and "want to see more" film.

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!!!!
