Leave your thoughts about Stan Lee.
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowLee's irrepressible joi de vivre and his recollections of the wild days shifting from story-first to pictures-first and fill-in-the-story-later are as much fun as he would have hoped. |
| CNNBrian Lowry“Stan Lee” is obviously intended to be celebratory in nature, but by allowing Lee to tell the story largely in his own words, it conveys a genuine sense of what made him as big and colorful as any of the spandex-clad figures that he helped birth and spring off the page. |
| ColliderTaylor GatesThe film is lovingly put together and expertly crafted, making for a gorgeous tribute to Lee. |
| TheWrapMartin TsaiGelb’s documentary gives viewers an overview of who Lee was and what made him tick, but mostly within the context of comics. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanStan Lee is a fan-service documentary released by Disney+ (it drops on June 16), yet it’s very well-made, and watching it you’re confronted with a revelation: that the comic books that Lee began to create in 1961 didn’t just mark a seismic break with the comic books of the past. |
| EmpireHelen O'HaraIt’s far from a complete biography, but it makes at least some effort to engage with the messier aspects of Lee’s life. Ultimately, however, this is a celebration of Lee and the cheerleading he did for comics, and that is surprisingly moving. |
| The New York TimesAmy NicholsonIt’s disappointing, yet inevitable that the creation story of Lee gives way to the characters he helped create. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyAs we watch Lee still encouraging ‘true believers’ well into his old age, it’s hard not to be moved. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe story being told lacks depth and insight; but it does have snap and polish, and it features a lot of astonishing art. In a way it’s a true Stan Lee experience. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearThat’s the Lee you get in this near-hagiography: a peek at the man, a whole lotta the myth, and almost none of the messiness. Definitive isn’t the goal here, clearly. Printing the legend on a splash page is. It’s less a doc than a Stan Lee infomercial. |
