Good Story

not my favorite stan lee movie, but the story is good and there are some funny points to it. Id buy it and watch again. June 26, 2008

I loved it:) Now where's the series?

I bought this dvd hoping to find out what happened to the series. It and Afro Samarai both looked interesting to me. But the latter I'd had the benefit of seeing mostly on Spike TV. THough it too faded from obscurity I believe you can still catch Afro Samarai online over at Spike Tv's website if not at its own website. So I settled for Mosaic which was another one I had planned on seeing. I was really hoping to find the animated tv series that was promised way back when. It looked interesting but only found this movie instead. My take it kind reminds me of Sue Storm, Spidergirl, and Nightcrawler's daughter from xmen if they were to have a lovechild? Maggie'd be the one. I really hope I can find the series though. It would be quite interesting in a b-series kind of way to see just how low she'd go to blend in to this or that clique...Farting contests anyone? Some people say this dvd was a waste of money. I don't buy it...I mean I kind of value the lesson in what super hero is in the Condor comic and story that was included with the dvd. 10 things that make a super hero...indeed May 28, 2007

so cool

i love this movie it is so cool, i wouldn't see this unless you are a stan lee fan May 20, 2007

Stan Lee Presents Superhero Barbie

Mosaic is a made for video cartoon, similar to current trend in animated adventures akin to Marvel's Ultimate Avengers, Iron Man or (Upcoming) Dr Strange...However that is where the similar style ends.

Stan Lee, The creator of Spiderman, Dardevil, The Fantastic Four and Stripperella (well 3 outta 4 aint bad), did the story of this female high schooler from the high school of the performinbg arts, who gains super powers from a mystical rune stone. It sound like a revamped female Spiderman without a radioactive spider...and it dont work.
When it plays out, the chatacter of Maggie acts like a teen Superhero Barbie doll

The first problem is Scott Lobdell, who can write an X-Men comic book so well, seems lost in the script of this animated adventure. He give Lee's Script an edge, but it seems like a recycled Spidey to me.

The second problem is Oscar Winner Anna Paquin (Rogue from the X-Men movies) and Kirby Morrow (From Stargate: Atlantis) try to act the linesm rather than playing it like a cartoon.They sound so wooden in their vocal presentation. Paquin, who was in xmen, should know superhero text is more over the top..she plays it like Shakespeare

the good news, This animated cartoon is better than most cartoon stuff out today. The visual efforts are over done, but it works to convex its action

For 72 minutes, it draws so slow it feels like 2 hours> Foe a made for video animated adventure, i have seen better

I thought they already had a female spider-man rip-off

Wow, I tried to watch this because Stan was involoved but it felt completely uninspired. I watched it on Cartoon Network And still found myself unable to get interested even though it was "free" to watch, my recommendation is rent it before buying it. Honestly though, I think most will agree the animation is horrible and the story is completely uninspired. March 26, 2007
