2011 documentaryRating: 14/20 (Mark: 10/20)
Plot: A look at real life superheroes who wander the streets of numerous cities at night to protect ordinary regularly-dressed citizens who also don't have superpowers. Some of them also help homeless people.
There's some nonsense at play here with at least one staged shot with the biggest nut of the bunch. Still, I was entertained by this and appreciated the intentions of most of these real-life superheroes. It's an objective expose about these characters, some who wish to remain as anonymous as Clark Kent, and the documentarians are only heard once when they ask one of the superheroes about whether or not he actually has a girlfriend that he's talking about.
But enough about the movie. I'd like to put a superhero league together to fight crime on the streets of Indianapolis. Let me know if you're interested and let me know what you'd like your superhero name to be, what special qualities or skills you have that will come in handy, and what crime-fighting experience you might have. Experience, however, isn't necessary.
i worked in an insane asylum so i think i am more qualified to be a villian seeing as how half of these "super heroes" were insane. really.
ReplyDeletealso i didnt like the new york "heroes" who tried to start fights. the one gay guy tried to get people to beat him up because he was gay. haven't we moved beyond this? especially in new york city.
I'm not sure if they were looking for violent homophobes or just trying to make him look like an easy target. Still, that whole entrapment thing (which didn't work at all) was really stupid.
ReplyDeleteI think only 1/3 of them were insane. I still think the guy who needed beers all the time had to be mostly an act.
