Kirby at War: La Guerre De Kirby
Black Panther, the Avengers, Hulk, Fantastic Four, The X-Men, Thor, Iron Man - to name only some of the best known super-heroes created in the 1960s by comic book artist Jack Kirby, the super heroes which today, dominate the world wide blockbuster box office cinema. This definite, comprehensive documentary, examines the work of Jack Kirby from the prism of his experience as a young American soldier in WWII France, and how this artist went to be known as "The King of Comics". What was the influence of Kirby's traumatic experience in the war fields, where he was twice almost fatally wounded, on his body of work as a the creator of super heroes and how this terrifying self defining experience, inspired him to create Captain America, and so many others characters as the war came to a close. Beyond WWII, this documentary approaches the impact of Jack Kirby's work on contemporary art, cinema and video games, making him one of the most exciting artists of the 20th century.

Little cheezy at times but I do like it.
If you're a fan of Documentary movies, then this is your dream come true. This is the type of film you fantasized about growing up!
I have to say this is one of my favorite movies.
Freaking awesome… is the adjective which I choose to type the first word of this review. As I left the theater I was not only spellbound, but I was also sulking about the fact that the movie had ended.
Overall I thought it was a well done movie, just that plain and simple !
One of the best Documentary movies I have seen in a while. It's way underrated!!! I can't believe I did not it sooner.
I was very impressed with this movie. This movie is definitely worth watching.
Just phenomenal!!! I am amazed that movies like this can still be made. I watch all kinds of movies all the time with my friends and i can say that this is one of the best i ever seen.
Don't take it too seriously and you'll have a blast!
Enjoyed. Entertaining. Thank you. :-)
Jean Depelley is a director I've never paid close attention to before, but after watching this movie, my eyes are now open. I was quite impressed with how serious this man took on the challenge.
Marc Azéma doesn't do bad movies. Always enjoyed to watch.
