Sorry about the brief hiatus there. The Mr.Sheen has been taken out and its been dusted around the reviews. That will teach me for deciding to watch all the Gilmore Girls boxsets back to back, I've been stuck in a world of witty rapport where they condone 15 year olds drinking their body weight in coffee daily.
Anyway back to the movies and stuff....
Deciding what to watch one night I stumbled across a film that made a blip on my radar when it came out in the cinema but I never got around to watching it. Super (2011) starring the pretty gosh darn funny Rainn Wilson and the not so funny, actually kinda annoying but cute as a little button Ellen Paige. When the trailers came out it was billed as an adult Kick Ass. Yes I'm aware that Kick Ass is adult itself but what I mean is that Super was about a man not a teenager wanting to be a super hero. Well thats what the trailers made you believe...
Its an odd one this. It starts out like Kick Ass and then all of a sudden turns into a more graphic Sin City....oh yes it can get more graphic than Sin City. The humour gets lost halfway through and it just becomes series of awkward situations and oh so extreme violence. Theres a little message at the end but to me it all seemed pointless. It felt like that time I was in the cinema and accidentally got sweet popcorn instead of salted, not cool and pretty annoying.
Take note Super, always label correctly!!!
