Review of Super (2010) by Robert W — 02 Jan 2013

I was surprised by how good this movie was. It is dark comedy using the super-hero genre as its foundation. While I thought Rainn Wilson was a bit of an odd choice for the main character, Ellen Page played her role with gusto.

My one complaint is that the characters all tended to be bad; it tries so hard to be "real world" that it makes every character have something unlikable about them. I'm not sure that these people would ever be in the same circles in reality because they are all so depressing, nihilistic, sad, angry, and antagonistic.
