Super (2010), James Gunn
2.5/5
This is a superhero film on steroids another film added to the genre alongside Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World (2010) and Kick-Ass (2010). Rainn Wilson (The Office) as Frank is great, but Ellen Page (Juno, Hard Candy) is insane and gives a crazy over the top performance. If this over the top violent and bizarrely and disturbingly sexual film at times is a comment on the fixation with comic book heroes it fails. It is both brutal and way too over the top. I'm not really sure what this film is about and I kept feeling like what was happening would turn out to be a dream or not real. Overall this is a strange film, with some absurdly funny moments.
