Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope" holds enormous appeal for both the geek audience and the casual viewer.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
There isn't a surprising moment, and it's an affirmation for hard-core fans and pretty much everyone else of William Shatner's immortal exhortation to Trekkies: "Get a life!"
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Spurlock weaves together several story lines.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
"A Fan's Hope" is really for those who've turned to the far side, but is ready to turn on a tractor beam for everyone else.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Written with Mr. Spurlock's frequent collaborator Jeremy Chilnick, the film is well organized and visually snazzy and keeps enough distance from its subject that you don't feel swamped in a tide of hysterical fandom.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Rambling and scattershot, the film seems to be made expressly for the fans, not for a wider audience.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Spurlock neither conveys the appeal of this world, nor does he ever, for one minute, stand outside the phenomenon and objectively examine it.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"A Fan's Hope" is a look at the annual San Diego convention that is sweetly empathetic where previous Spurlock works have been brash and confrontational. Plus, it's a lot of fun.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The result is a valentine to geek culture that's crowd-pleasing but superficial, glibly entertaining in the time-tested Spurlock fashion, but unlikely to linger.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The first surprise of Comic-Con Episode IV is that it's the first Spurlock film Spurlock isn't in. The second surprise is that it's the most entertaining geek lovefest since 1997's Trekkies.
Time Out Chicago
Matt Singer
An Odorama cut of Comic-Con would surely be the scariest film ever made.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Spurlock balances the stories of his characters with the larger context, showing us that each of the attendees has a story and that Comic-Con is a place where stories and characters always matter.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
Comic-Con Episode IV is a valentine to an event and a group of people so in ascension they don't really need it, but it's still a pleasant thing to watch.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
What Comic-Con requires is neither fan nor foe but an anthropologist.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
A tender, thoughtful paean to geek community.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Most of the celebrity interviews offer more hype than insight. A carnival this immense hardly needs more barkers.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
It's a light, amusing collage of the titular event, but [Spurlock's] absence makes it clear that the movie could have used a biting edge.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
You won't appreciate the film fully unless you're already a member of the choir to which it's preaching.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Morgan Spurlock has little to say about Comic-Con other than that its attendees value it on a par with Christmas.
