Super Reviews
Super, May not have been great back then, but This certainly created a new generation of followers of James Gunn. It’s definitely a wild take on comedy style superhero movies of the time. It’s a prototype of R-Rated, unfiltered in verbiage and visuals, tonal song selected, James Gunn Style of writing and directing for what was to come in his future. Ellen Page was a wilder standout than I was expecting. Rann Wilson definitely lead well among a well talented cast of characters.
I didn’t like the ending, but it was realistic. A very dark comedy for people that like that kind of stuff
James Gunn movies before Guardians are underrated films they're not noticed by the general public or to be released everywhere This movie is for what got him into Marvel.
It is positively interesting in a best way.
A funny spin on the makeshift hero that is ridiculous, bold, & has an indie charm. The premise is nothing new but there are some surprises along the way. The cast is full of stars with a great score but some aspects have not aged well.
A movie that blends comedy, violence and the awkward to create a superhero movie with a difference. While it is uneven at times, this movie is destined to be a cult classic.
Una película con humor negro y bizarro en varias ocasiones. Puede lucir algo pobre en términos de producción, y el protagonista podrá no empatizar muy bien que digamos, pero su desarrollo lo siento creíble, y me gusto que las estupideces de los personajes tuvieran consecuencias.
Despite its flaws, "Super" remains a unique and creative take on the superhero genre. However, the film's excessive violence and disturbing themes in the second half may be too much for some viewers to handle.
Incredibly stupid and juvenile
Super is a really fun movie, James Gunn did a really good work doing a movie that feels like Kick Ass (even was released on the same year) and still feels diferent enough. Funny and sad on moments. I really recomend it.
'Super' is one of the most difficult movies to review in the history of cinema. While often compared to 'Kick-Ass', this is by far the more serious and insightful of the two. The two films share the same premise: What if an ordinary person without special powers or funding decided to put on a suit and fight crime? 'Super' spends quite a bit of time on answering the question of what type of person would even consider this. The answer isn't pretty. Similarly, 'Super' lays out the far-stretching consequences of such a decision. They are disturbing and severe. The movie attempts to show what happens in between the panels of a comic book for people who are not heroes but do fight crime. It starts out as fun and ends up in a completely different place. The tone of the film goes through a similar journey. It's a difficult and challenging viewing experience, but one that's definitely worth it if you're not looking for heroic entertainment.
James Gunn's "Super" twists the superhero genre, yet the results are sadly underwhelming. It consistently fails to become funny, the direction is uninteresting (a few months earlier, Matthew Vaughn and Edgar Wright had given us "Kick-Ass" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" respectively), the script is mostly bland, and the juxtaposition of moods just feels awkward. I appreciate Gunn's choice to go for rawness, I found the finale notable, and I loved Bacon and Page's performances, but that's it.
I laughed for nearly the whole film with few pauses to catch my breath. It plays with your expectations, pokes fun at the superhero tropes we've seen time and time again, and is often just absurd. Elliot Page and Rainn Wilson are both great in this. Rainn is unhinged with only a hair of sanity left, while Elliot is fully disconnected from reality, making Rainn appear almost reasonable in comparison. But there is a rape scene near the end of the film, right before the big action sequence where Elliot dies. It takes away most, if not all, of the emotional impact his death could have had. I laughed, since it was so far out of left field to see a sidekick get shot in the face with practically no anticipation built up beforehand whatsoever (especially after explicitly mentioning the bulletproof vest at the beginning of the scene, seeming to set up the "mistaken for dead but actually shot in the bulletproof vest" trope). But my emotions about his death still feel muddy, especially since Rainn immediately begins working to avenge him, and it's never made clear how being raped impacted him. The movie would just be much better off without the rape scene.
Great film but that rape scene could be deleted from the film and it wouldn't change anything. That scene was so messed up it almost completely ruined the movie for me. So unfortunately, 5/10.
Honestly, what the hell was Gunn thinking... was he having a mental breakdown?? I kind hope so, otherwise WTAF!?!... At least he more than made up for this monstrosity with his future endeavors.
[⭐️65%] Super (2010) takes an interesting approach to the super hero genre, those elements were covered the same year in Kick Ass (2010) and with much better execution. Even though the cast is stacked with recognisable and loved actors, the themes just felt way too out of place a lot of the time, making for many awkward shifts in tone. It did have its heartfelt moments thanks to Rainn Wilson's likability, but overall those feelings did not maintain as the characters lacked too much depth.
A disturbed movie of a disturbed mind. All that "Kick Ass" dreams of being is this movie: a realistic version of a superhero movie. The film delivers what it promises, with a sour humor from start to finish.
Good performances, awesome fx work,for a really good movie.
