a5c7b9f00b Frank Darrbo is a hapless fry cook. When his wife Sarah falls off the wagon and dumps him for Jacques, a drug dealer, Frank tries to get her back by reporting her kidnapped, grabbing her from Jacques' car, and wailing for her to return. After watching Christian TV and having a vision, he becomes a superhero to fight evil. He sews a costume, finds a weapon (a pipe wrench) and looks for crimes to stop. He has problems: his wrench inflicts real injury, so the cops want him for being a vigilante, his sense of boundaries is flawed, and Jacques' gang has guns. Libby, a clerk at a comic book store, becomes his sidekick, and it's time to go save Sarah. What chance do they have?
After his wife falls under the influence of a drug dealer, an everyday guy transforms himself into Crimson Bolt, a superhero with the best intentions, but lacking in heroic skills.
Super is…well, super! It is a fantastic new entry into the subgenre of "unqualified super heroes" popularized by movies like Special and KickAss. In fact, Super takes a lot of inspiration from KickAss - with its over the top gore and comic violence - while at the same time drawing the viewer in with new ideas about what it means to be a "super hero." In this case, Super probes deeper than KickAss into the question "What kind of person would actually become a super hero?" <br/><br/>Rainn Wilson plays Frank, an awkward, homely looking fry cook who married an extremely hot wife. Oh wait…his wife, a recovering drug addict, has been seduced by a drug dealing crime boss! After a bizarre vision, Frank dons a red costume and begins calling himself the Crimson Bolt! It's time to SHUT UP, Crime! <br/><br/>Wilson (who could very aptly voice Batman if he wanted) is marvelousFrank. He shows the capacity and timing to dive in and out of side-splitting deadpan humor and heart-wrenching seriousness, almostif he had a cinematic grappling hook. Puns aside, Wilson is amazing and shows his dramatic range. He is officially one of my favorite actors now.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Liv Tyler is non-annoying in her roleperpetually comatose Sarah, Frank's wife.<br/><br/>Elene Paige is captivatingCrimson Bolt's psychotic side-kick, Boltie. Her slow descent into insanity is believable and disturbing.<br/><br/>There's a lot more to Super than first meets the eye. You may have to watch it more than once appreciate its meditations on obsession, morality, and comic book violence. As good at the movie is though, it is marred by some unfortunate directorial decisions in characters and casting. I would have given Super a 7 out of 10, but for the incessant racism.<br/><br/>Nearly all the criminals are people of color. Kevin Bacon, along his high-ranking thugs, are, of course, white. And there are some petty street criminals who are white. I don't have a problem with blacks being showncriminals, because crime is prevalent in poorer black communities. What I have a problem with is the refusal to show any positive examples of blacks, save for Frank's fellow fry cooks and a couple students during the ending sequence.<br/><br/>There's even a scene where a black male attempts to rape a white female. The white thugs look at each other gravely, remorsefully,they allow it to happen…the same thugs who peddle drugs, kill cops in cold blood, and gleefully shoot heroine into Liv Taylor's foot, already dangerously close to OD'ing. The thought of a black male having sex with a white female somehow causes them to grow a conscience??<br/><br/>Birth of a Nation, anyone? <br/><br/>Super is an incredibly deep cinematic ride. I dare say it is more arresting than even KickAss. But at least KickAss had the balls to remove the prejudice against blacks apparent in its source text, creating a more positive film. I give Super a 4 out of 10.
So I like quirky, unusual (not-so)superhero films, and it's not exactly a prolific genre. I've posted before about Kick-Ass and Defendor. Super will be inevitably compared to the above by many, but it standsits own film with a significantly different feel. Notcomic booky or teen-orientedKick-Ass, notserious and ultimately tragicDefendor, but with action, violence, and drama to rival either.<br/><br/>Rainn Wilson is perfectly cast for the role of the inept, possibly delusional loser-come-superhero, while Ellen Page is a great turna comic book store clerk who is way,way (and I mean way) too excited about becoming the sidekick. Liv Tyler spends most of the time whispering, confused, and high, I think they probably just carted her out of her trailer to the set and had her be herself. And Kevin Bacon makes a great villain team with the under-rated Michael Rooker.<br/><br/>The film maintains a rather desperate atmosphere with highlights of giddiness which sets up both compelling drama and natural-feeling humor, falling somewhere in the middle of its two most recent genre entries. Recommended.
Waiting for Super to deliver the funny is an experiencelongthe film itself.
No, it is an original story by James Gunn. It is a cartoon specifically created for the movie.
