Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super is a movie for those that are fans of super hero movies, but might be feeling burnt out from the mainstream movies. There are no super-powered characters, this movie plays out more like an Adam West Batman where everyone is just a regular person in a costume. Not recommended for kids, however.

I am not a fan of super hero movies. At all. They're overhyped and consistently ridiculous, imho. Super is a far more accurate, very twisted interpretation of what'd happen if someone pulled on tights to exact justice. If you're a fan of Gunn's no holds barred films, this is one for you.

This film is hard to rate, it is extreme in so many different ways and is very odd at times, but that could be part of its charm. Worth a watch for those who prefer their superhero films raw and strange.

cast, great director, great writer, great movie...not yr typical super hero...very funny & worth checking out, esp if you like James Gunn movies!

This movie was great, I loved it (22yr old), my lil' bro & sis liked it, never got bored of the movie, it's exciting from start to finish.. All the actors were great, you can tell this was not some cheap movie, I just knew I had to have it.. It's Action and Comedy at the same time, what more can you ask for, I really recommend this movie for anyone who likes laughing and not getting sleepy as you watch movies.. Enjoy.. (:

Excellent movie! It's definitely a darker take on the superhero genre!

Very Twisted dark funny violent superhero film if you like dark comedy I recommend not for the squeamish

Couldnt find movie anywhere with this price and happy I found it.

This movie Is very good, the history Is fantastic.

It was okay. A little too hipster independent filmy for me. James Gunn is better under the thumb of a big studio.

Better than both Super 8 and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. More enjoyable than a root canal.

I had no idea as to what to expect. I didn't remember this in the theatres; Rainn's offerings (outside of the Office) have been average at best, and the story of the "average shmo turns super hero" have been done to death. I cannot tell you how wrong my apprehensions turned out to be. Not only is this not the average hero movie, but the performance by Rainn is amazing. He really shows a depth that I hadn't seen before, and the supporting cast of Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon and Ellen Page works perfectly. The story is a rare mix of extremely comical at times, with down right heartbreaking at others. There are shocking moments (both plot wise and visually) and the story you think is about to unfold takes a completely left turn when you least expect it. I have recommended this movie to all of my friends and family, and actually am submitting this while I order copies for Christmas. I hate to talk up moies, knowing that the review is always a let down... but you HAVE to see this movie.

Funny and entertaining, then gets serious, graphically violent and ends up heartwarming. I love the irony and quirkiness of this movie and think it's brilliant, while it may be too "weird" for others to "get".

Going into this movie, I really did not like Rainn Wilson but, after this movie it has all changed. He was great. This is not a super hero movie at all and that's ok. This movie left me feeling weird. I was not happy for the main character even thought the movie felt it was supossed to do that.

A troubled man decides to become a superhero. Great film, a more adult version of Kick A**, but much better. Great performances , great script, real emotion, just a wonderful film. Highly recommended.

This is the best of the "every man" super hero movies. A hilarious dark comedy that merits multiple viewings.
