Super Ratings & Reviews
- Megan CruzJune 17, 2025I know this film is somewhat controversial & it definitely tackles some pretty intense subject matter all around but I find its perspective to be so unique while simultaneously capturing the essence of 2010 so completely. The hyper violence & very time period accurate stylized quirk is juxtaposed incredibly well with the absurdity of the mundane plot to create a complex character study that has a lot to say about the culture of the time. I’m obsessed with Kevin Bacon & Liv Tyler in this film & the humor for the most part holds up incredibly well.
- The Gutter MonkeyOctober 17, 2024An alternative take on superheroes that's bloody, grim, disturbing, and at times captivating. Unfortunately, it lacks the heart and character development of other films of its ilk (Kick Ass, Defendor, Deadpool, etc) that managed to be dark and gritty without leaving the audience feeling dirty and empty by the end.
- JoelJuly 6, 2025Dumb as balls (complimentary). Imagine telling people walking out of the theater in 2010 that the director of this film would be in of DC Studios 💀
- klit75December 3, 2025If you're looking for a dark comedy, emphasis on the dark, and you like super heroes...look no further. This really blurs the lines between bravery and mental illness. Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes or so. I don't know much about this movie but wouldn't be surprised to find it has a strong cult status.
- cloudsrivalSeptember 6, 2025Unique to the "superhero" genre, but very edgy and sometimes cringe. I'm surprised it was made in 2010. Ellen Page using homophobic slander didn't age well.
