Stan Lee disc reviews?

Anyone pick up the new Stan Lee disc, where he's interviewed by Kevin Smith? I don't think I've seen any reviews and was wondering what people thought of it as far as content, features, etc. I'm a big Kevin Smith fan and have long enjoyed Stan's creations, but I was wondering if this was worth the $20 and a spot in my collection.

Thanks,
Walt

Stan Lee DVD

I picked up the Stan Lee DVD tonight. I must say I was a little disappointed with it. Overall it was pretty interesting, but nothing earth shattering was revealed.

There are two different sections of the DVD, one interview all about Spiderman and the other about Lee's other projects. I only had time to watch the second half today. The one complaint I would have about the interview is that they cover a lot of topics with little depth. Just when I started getting interested in something, they moved to the next subject without asking obvious follow up questions.

Each interview is broken up into nine chapters. I prefered the way it was done on Mind Meld DVD I got last week with Nemoy and Shatner, with one flowing conversation instead of bits and pieces from an obviously longer interview

Finally the extras are ok at best. Early reports had that this DVD would show some of the Fantastic Four movie that was never released, but instead we just get 45 seconds on why it never came out (the person with the option for the movie had to have photography done by a certain date to keep the option to make a better movie) The back of the case just says "Fantastic Four Movie" leading you to believe the whole thing is on there. It is hardly an extra and could have been included with the normal interview.

Overall, as a huge Kevin Smith fan and a big comics reader, I found the DVD to be enjoyable, but a bit pricey at $20. I would say its worth $15 though
