Description

In the 1970s, X-Men was on the brink of cancellation, but Marvel decided to give the title one more shot. Young writer Chris Claremont was tasked with writing a new team of international X-Men. Five years later, it was the biggest title in comics, and Claremont one of comics’ biggest stars.

This film tells the story of Chris and his small team of collaborators, who worked together to tell stories that inspired a generation of comics readers, and led directly to the creation of the blockbuster X-Men film franchise.

The story of his groundbreaking seventeen year run on the title is also the story of a company in transition, of how Marvel moved from the free thinking “house of ideas” to a top down corporation, and how the success of the X-Men took away the very freedom that allowed Chris to create.

The X-Men is a modern mythology, and this is the story of its creation, in the words of the people who made it happen.

    A fine look back but

    A fine look back but not an in-depth look at the influence Chris had not only on the X-Men but comics in general.

    I enjoyed it.

    I spent most of my youth immersed in comic books, and Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men run was a huge part of that experience, so this movie was basically made for someone like me. No, it's not perfect, but this is actually a very interesting documentary if you have any interest in the subject matter. It's made up mostly of interviews with Chris, and there's plenty of Chris chatting with Louise Simonson and Ann Nocenti reminiscing about the old days at Marvel Comics, which, for me, was very fun to watch. Jim Shooter had lots of interesting stuff to say, and we got some brief bits with several of the other creators involved with the series. This is definitely a film about Chris Claremont, though, but I suppose that's obvious from the title. I enjoyed it.
