Super (2010)

In 7 words or less: "Feel the wrath of the Crimson Bolt".

Best bits? Even though sceptical at first, the religious overtones of this actually make this film way more interesting and without them, it would just be mindless violence. The Crimson Bolts final revenge speech made me laugh "YOU DON'T CUT IN LINE... YOU DON'T MOLEST CHILDREN" It's all crime to the 'Bolt. Either way you're gonna get hit with a wrench. When he learns that god didn't touch him because he was special it's a bitter sweet moment that kind of makes watching it worthwhile.

Did it make you think thoughts? I don't know if the world needed a film with pretty much the same story as Kick Ass. This one feels more of a chore to watch. It's like Kickass without the excitement and fun. Never reaching that kind of revenge (guilty) pleasure, this is grubbier with some shocking moments. It has a good cast too, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Ellen Page...

Would you watch it again? I don't think I could. It's over.

Rating (out of 100%): 71% I thought I'd rate this lower, but it's rattled me.
