Telling this man’s story is an amazing feat in itself with a chance to hear from so many affected by his work. From Kevin Smith, Patrick Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Mendez, each get a chance to share their feelings about Lee’s amazing career. Also, Sean Astin, Kenneth Branagh, Nicolas Cage, Kristen Dunst, Lou Ferrigno, Jon Favreau, James Franco, Tobey Maguire and Seth Rogen.

Each of these actors knows what Stan Lee has brought to the table and the fact that playing some of his most beloved characters is an honor and a dream come true!

FINAL WORD: The DVD contains a commentary from the filmmakers as well as over 90 minutes of featurettes, extended interviews, a gallery of over 500 pop culture characters that Stan Lee co-created.

It is such an amazing tribute to the work of Stan Lee that I truly was moved by the kind words said about this inspiring man. I was so fortunate to meet Stan two years ago at Comic Con (and several times since then) and had a chance to talk with him about his life. I can tell everyone that he is having a blast with the resurgence of his characters from comic book to film.

Every time I run into Stan he is smiling, enjoying the crowd, embracing the fans and answering questions with ease.

TUBS OF POPCORN: I give WITH GREAT POWER…The Stan Lee Story three and a half tubs of popcorn out of five. This truly is a DVD filled with amazing information that comic fans or just fans of Stan get a chance to experience for themselves.

It has received awards for Best Documentary from the Long Island Film Festival, and Rhode Island Film Festival. The film has also received awards from the Atlanta Film Festival, Anchorage International Film Festival, Nevada Film Festival, Calgary Underground Film Festival and the Santa Catalina Film Festival.
