Has anyone seen 'Super'?

Damn, I love this movie. It's a hilarious take on superheroes in which a down and out loser (Rainn Wilson) decides to become a superhero: the Crimson Bolt!

However, this movie is grounded in reality, so he has no powers. In fact, he really sucks at being a hero! He just sits behind dumpsters waiting for crime to happen, and if he's lucky, he'll catch someone selling pot, or some other trivial crime, and gets carried away with the punishment. For example, someone cut in line, and he beat their face in with a wrench!

The movie is damn funny, and wouldn't ya know it, extremely violent. Directed by Troma protege James Gunn who wrote the screenplay for Tromeo and Juliet and is now directing Hollywood superhero movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, this movie was over-shadowed by the vastly inferior piece of shit known as 'Kick-Ass'. God, that movie is fucking garbage...

The cast is amazing too. Rainn Wilson is our incompetent hero, Ellen Page is his overzealous child-like sidekick 'Bolty' (who gets into it so much, she rapes the Crimson Bolt), and Liv Tyler as the damsel in distress that the bolt must save from the our antagonist Kevin Bacon and his lackeys (including Michael Rooker), who has her hooked on heroin so he can pimp her out. Don't forget the bit parts by Gregg Henry, Nathan Fillion of Firefly fame, and Lloyd Kaufman.

It really is a fantastic movie that will have you laughing in shock at how gory and obscene it gets, but it's got a lot of heart and isn't some overblown Hollywood piece of crap. Highly recommended, even if you hate superhero movies.
