Stan Lee narrates his own amazing life story in a fun and creatively produced documentary that purposely skirts controversy. Director David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Chef's Table) celebrates the 100th anniversary of Lee's birth with a breezy retrospective of an extraordinary man. Models, animation, audio recordings, and extensive archival footage are used to paint a wholesome picture of a beloved cultural icon. Lee takes you from his impoverished childhood through the decades of building Marvel Comics to a household brand. It's a Wikipedia approach that doesn't delve too deep but gives an adequate and enjoyable summary of greatness.
