Review of Super (2010) by Arijit M — 14 Nov 2012

Super was depressing and unfunny, with dull visuals, forgettable characters and a lot of violence. It wasn't entertaining or enjoyable, but I'm not sure if it was actually bad in the strictest sense. I believe that it succeeds in what it is trying to accomplish for the most part, but it doesn't really have any aspects to enjoy, or even appreciate much. It's just a depressing film that probably won't please most viewers. I decided to include parts of other reviews that shared my opinion down below.

"Kick-Ass was fun. Super is kind of a bummer, and the somewhat-moralistic and totally shoe-horned epilogue seeks to undo all the madness that came before. You can't cross the line, and then beg to come back over to the world of the reasonable. It's a lesson that neither our hero, nor our director, learns." - Simon Miraudo.

"Unfortunately Super's director James Gunn seems unable to decide whether he's making a satirical work or a sick joke and, as a result, he squanders the entertainingly unhinged performances of his cast before copping out with a sentimental happy ending." - Alistair Harkness.

Rating: 4/10... I think...
