A Super Zero movie, love it, especially the scene during the theater queue !
fantastic...just fantastic.
One of the best movie of all time,I had such a great time, I wish it was longer! Ellen Page is Fabulous in it! A shame people take this film a little bit too seriously, it is meant to be a crappy suit!!!
Anyway, go watch it now, it is worth it and will make you feel good for the rest of your life !
Advice: Watch also > God Bless America !!!
Awesome Movie
Ellen Page, will you marry me?
Wow this film is totally crazy but I liked it!
At first I thought that I would be seeing something like Kick Ass and it is similar in a certain way. An ordinary man, living in our ordinary world, decides to become a superhero although he has any super power. But this is the only similarity between both.
I don't know if I can define Super as a comedy, I laughed with it many times but the film definitely has a dark tone in it and many disturbing scenes.
Rainn Wilson's character Frank is a very troubled man, he was definitely marked by his childhood and that is reflected in his adulthood. In consequence of that he can't be happy at all. Frank become even more disturbed when his wife suddenly disappears. That's when he decides to become Crimson Bolt. When Libby, a girl working in a comic book store appears in his life things turn even more crazy because she is totally insane.
Both of the performances by Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page are great and Nathan Fillion is hilarious as the Holy Avenger. Kevin Bacon was good also.
At the end of it I had a great time watching this different and interesting film. I can't develop much more about it without spoiling.
Unlike all superhero films the action is not the most important thing about it but the psychological part is.
I truly love James Gunn for his work, he never ever takes anything seriously. And you shouldn't take this movie that serious either, it's so lame it's funny. I enjoyed this movie a lot, just watch it and don't expect anything like a "normal superhero" movie if you want that watch Guardians XD.
The violence of Super is intensified by its contrasting hipster romantic comedy tone. A very dark and very weird movie but that final intense monologue felt earned.
A religious fanatic with geeky tendencies gets dumped by his wife and decides to become a masked vigilante who kills people around with a wrench. As fucked up and morally wrong as a Troma movie, with the difference that this time the project is backed up by a decent budget and joined by relatively well-known actors. The plot is just a big excuse for the graphic moments, but I actually enjoyed the fake TV shows and delirious visions even more. Too bad it came out alongside “Kick Ass” and got wrongly labeled as its low-budget version.
A Super Zero movie, love it, especially the scene during the theater queue !
