Please don't spend money on this.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

When Kevin Smith announced that he's soon retiring from the movie-making business, I didn't understand why, at first I thought he meant retiring from everything but in later interviews he made it clear that he's venturing into other genres of the entertainment business. From his twitter entries to podcasts, "Evening with" standup Q&A videos and more = "Comic Book Men" has yet again proved that Smith can change course without disappointing nor have to make 'adjustments' to his empire.Okay, long story short - I was introduced to Smith's work back in 2001 with "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back," an old friend wanted me to see the movie, and even though I hadn't seen the previous "Jersey" movie titles ie "Clerks," "Mallrats," I was definitely entertained. So if you're NOT familiar with any of Smith's previous work, then "Comic Book Men" could peek your interest because the stars of the show have lots of history with Smith & his work. These aren't 'actors' on a staged reality show, sure some have acted in Smith's movies but this is the real deal.For me, it's great to see Walt & Brian again, be sure to check out the making of "Clerks" to see some more interviews featuring them. Who knew that Walt was such a character?!! and Ming, who designed Kevin's website all those years ago, who assured Smith that "you'll never be lonely again" because of the forum-based community online. Wasn't familiar with Michael but he seems like a great addition to this show.I'm not a comic-book fan, I read various comics when I was younger but never got into them. You're probably asking yourself - 'so why do you watch + like this show?' Well, I also enjoy the show "American Chopper," which is another reality show that follows the lives of a motorbike-building family, I have no interest in bikes but it's really the passion these people have for what they do & they make me want to be more interested in what it is they're producing & selling! they're just interesting & entertaining people, simple as that.Not a reality show that sets out to humiliate people, put people up on auction blocks, nor trying something stupid that results in ruined lives and the loss of money ie "No experience? no interest? here- we're gonna let you run this company for three months, it's gonna be on film. Good luck!" Whether you're a comic-book fan, a Kevin Smith fan or of his movies, a TRUE 'reality show' fan, a fan of interesting people, a fan of well-produced TV shows, a fan of commentary = "Comic Book Men" is just flat-out a good time! Smith & crew all partake in a podcast throughout the show, reviewing some of the merchandise customers have brought in, and sometimes talking about them too! What's great is that all of these guys know each other, they weren't a bunch of newcomers thrown together, they have history and it shows. And it makes for great TV, never a dull moment.I'm hoping this show gets renewed for a 2nd season, I'm about to watch the 6th and final episode from the 1st season. Well done, Smith & team!

I clicked the stars to rate this at first an eight, but then I got to thinking about how I came about watching this show and I had to bump it to a ten.Normally, Reality TV and I do not mix well. They're just not a type of show that interest me. When I started the first episode, I had no idea it was reality TV. I almost turned it off. And then a customer came into the shop.It was like the Antique Roadshow(a show I love), but with comic books and a funnier cast.I quickly found the rest of the episodes and I haven't stopped watching.The store's manager is funny, smart and he has integrity, something many Reality TV shows lack in their main cast of characters. The whole cast of the show is quirky and interesting, actually.This is the first review for anything from me on IMDb, though I've belonged for years. I just felt compelled to write this review, much like the compulsion to watch the show.I don't even like comic books! It's still really, really great.

I am not going to say this is the best show ever or anything like that, but I enjoy watching nerds talk. It is a funny show. I think the guys are hilarious. I would actually be disappointed if this show went off the air. I was not expecting to like the show as much as I do. The main reason I started watching was because I like kevin smith, but I also like his friends in this show. I hate reality TV. If this show goes off the air, but crap like Jersey Shore remain I will lose all faith in humanity. I am not a comic book fan. I never was able to get into it, but I appreciate them as some of my friends are. This really is a show about nothing. It is hilarious and awesome.

I'm a nerd. Used to read comics every day, still love hearing about the characters and the stuff out there. Who the heck thought this was a good format? I didn't come here to see Kevin Smith and whoever the heck is talking on a radio show breaking in every 45 seconds when something interesting comes up. I want to see the crap they find, the crap people bring in and not this The View dork sewing circle crap. Just because Kevin Smith knows about comics and has a comic shop does it justify a format like this. If Smith needs to have a show like this so badly, go and run the store if he needs to justify being on camera. I stopped 20 minutes in and won't come back, it's not worth the time.
