"30.07.2011 "You really think that killing me... stabbing me to death is going to change the world?" "I can't know that for sure, unless I try." I read in an interview with Kevin Bacon that his role in this film was written for Jean-Claude Van Damme, but he turned it down. So much for trying to get out of doing only action films after JCVD. Turn this down, but make two more Universal Soldier sequels. This would have been an interesting role for him. But Kevin Bacon was great as the villain so"

"Katsottu: 18.7.2011 Jos Kick-Ass iskee tai ei iske, voi Super olla elokuva juuri sinulle. Tämä on niin ilmiselvä indieversio Kick-Assista kuin vain olla ja voi. Asetelmiltaan tämä tosin toimii juuri siksi paremmin. Rainn Wilson ei ole suosikkikoomikkojeni joukossa, mutta Superin ”supersankarirooli” luonnistuu häneltä mallikkaasti. Ensin hänen vaimonsa ”kidnapataan”, ”pakotetaan” käyttämään huumeita ja tämän kaiken takana on Kevin Bacon. Tuohtuneena tämä onneton miespo"

"as The Holy Avenger "

A case for Super

“It would be easy to simply dismiss Super as the cheap, indy cinema, not-very-cool, Kick Ass wannabe that it appears to be. Easy but incorrect. Super asks the viewer the same question as Batman, Watchmen and Kick Ass, "What would happen if regular people took it upon themselves to become masked heroes?" Despite this premise, even those three films allow for impossibly powerful characters. Just look at Batman's wealth, or "Blue Penis Guy's" powers, or even Hit Girl's fighting skills. Super only allows for a regular person to don the mask and tights, which takes the level of realism to places the viewer may not really want to go!

Dwight Shrute... I mean Rainn Wilson plays the enraged man who has been dumped by his junky wife in favor of her drug dealer. This event - and possib” read more

2011 by star rating (118 movies items)

"It's too bad that Super isn't "super" in the way that last year's Kick-Ass was, indeed, "kick-ass." The only reprieve here is offered by Ellen Page, who is relentlessly funny. The rest of the film is a bad case of a movie having no idea what it wants to be or where it wants to go. Even worse, its drastically positive twist at the end is an absolute cheat.

Super

“Thank God for Ellen Page. If it weren't for her presence in SUPER (a film with virtually nothing "super" about it, aside from Page's uproarious supporting performance), the film would border on being terrible. But thanks to the fact that she was cast, this cinematic experience is slightly easier to endure, though I still struggle to recommend it.

If you're one of the people who saw last year's KICK-ASS and were put off by the film's "awkward" shifts in tone, you're in for some seriously worse disorientation with SUPER. You see, I absolutely adored KICK-ASS - yes, its tonality is a little wayward, but one thing we should understand is that it's FINE for a film to shift tones as long as it knows what the right MOMENTS are to do so. In my opinion, KICK-ASS knew exactly when and how ” read more

"Released in UK 08/07/11 20/08/11 - A bit of a cheat this entry as I watched at home on Blu-ray, missed the theatrical release as it was limited. A good indie movie, well that was the feel of it. The 1st third of the movie was a little slow but by the surprising action packed 3rd act I was hooked. A great example of non main stream non big budget movies can be. 7/10"
