Super - Sad, surreal and definitely super 

With all the `official' superhero moves spewing out of Hollywood, there were always going to the spoofs that went with them.

If you want a true `comedy,' one which mocks the genre and has plenty of people acting silly in costumes and cracking jokes, then you'll probably prefer Superhero Movie. However, `Super' does not simply fall into the `comedy' genre. It's so much more.

At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd like it or not. The first half I found a little slow, but I was glad I stuck with it. It really picks up the pace in the second half and, although not a complete laugh-fest, this film does add something to the genre. It's a real black comedy and deliberately throws the conventions of superhero movies on their heads - some of which are actually quite shocking.

Even with Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon in the cast, Super will never be a mainstream success, purely because it doesn't follow the superhero formula. At best it'll attain a cult status - and a well-deserved one at that. 

9/10 almost as perfect as The Godfather
