Review of Super (2010) by Jerome K — 29 Aug 2014
It's hard not to compare this movie to Kick-Ass. Both are satires of the superhero genre. However, while Kick-Ass is a self-indulgent fantasy, Super is a dark and grim comedy. The main character's life is bleak and depressing, and he comes off more psychotic than heroic.
While I often enjoy niche films, dark comedies don't always work for me, and I'm not sure if this one did. Anyway, it's these qualities that make it easy to see why Super wasn't as big of a box office success.
