Everything starring Ellen Page is awesome! I only just realised..I mean:
- Inception
- Juno (shut up I like it.)
- Hard Candy
- Whip It!

Anyway, after that little revelation, I recently watched Super again for about the seventh time, and it never gets old. Not once. No, it may not be perfect, it has it's flaws, but out of any movie ever, this is one of the only films I could watch forever, non-stop. I love James Gunn's hilarious writing, I love the "Holy Avenger" scenes, I love Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page as a duo, I love everything about the whole film, it's one of the only films I will honestly give the rare title of "perfect".

Shut up, haters!

Fuck Yeah.

Ellen Page being awesome.

Rainn Wilson being vengeful.

Kevin Bacon likes eggs.

Fuck Yeah.

*SPOILER*

This wasn't a particularly easy watch. But maybe that was the point?

The director seems unable to decide whether he is making a superhero satire or a sick joke. Super is not exactly super, but its sometimes enjoyable. Sometimes entertaining, sometimes funny, and sometimes clever. Ellen Page's brilliant wacky energy is not used enough, and her surprising early death is a bit unforgivable.

There is some really interesting ideas here, and moments of awesomeness. But most of these are In between the panels.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Man, this movie is a god damn punch in the gut. Is there anything more naked and honest than Frank on his knees cursing God for making him unloved and stupid and ugly? That scene is hardcore. This whole movie is hardcore. Love it.

El "Kick Ass" que es OK to Like. Si esta película es algo, es Super Triste.

I can honestly say this is the weirdest film I have seen in a long time. It's the movie Kick Ass said it was and yet didn't have the balls to be. Would have got an extra half star except for the fact that the first 20 mins are rather dull - but stick with it. Its tone is all over the place. Part comedy-part horror.

'Shut up crime' so much better than the ludicrously overrated Kick Ass

Super indeed

Although the "moral" of the story is refreshing, the execution and everything else is terrible.

I held off on this since Rainn Wilson has never impressed me much outside of "The Office". I WAS A FOOL.

The slow start, which would normally be a demerit, instead is a great set-up for the intensity that is to come. Everything after the initial tentacle-filled "vision" just kept getting better and better.

Ellen Page. Can I talk about Ellen Page for a minute? She give a perfectly unhinged performance. In her first scene I was mildly intrigued by her character, but she kept escalating until I was hoping to see an entire Boltie sequel. Perfect to the end.

It turns out Rainn can kind of pull this off? For a few scenes he doesn't quite sell it, but the lines he nails are so good that it erased any issues I had with parts of his performance.

Fantastic superhero movie, and with an ending that managed to wrap things up in a believable way.

Das war so gut. Sicher nicht für jeden. Schön schräg und tatsächlich brutal. Die ersten 25 Minuten fragt man sich, wohin die Reise wohl geht. Was für ein Film will der Film sein? Und wie kann er ab 18 sein? Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht und hatte viel Spaß.

Super se presenta quizas como una alternativa más para aquellos que disfrutaron de Kick Ass. La trama es bastante parecida, donde el personaje principal utiliza una mascara para combatir contra la injusticia, aunque no todo le salga bien.

La película esta llena de humor negro, y cuenta con escenas que ni te las esperas, creo que es una esas de la que no te esperas nada y pueden llegar a sorpreder.
