Is that where we are right now? Between the panels?

We missed this movie when it hit the theatres. You probably missed this movie when it hit the theatres. Shot with a big-name cast on a small-time budget, completed in the wake of Kick-Ass (though the films were in production at the same time), it did not see widespread release until April 2011, and even then, the release wasn’t particularly widespread. Super passed faster than a speeding bullet. Most critics savaged the film, a dark comedy about a depressed and disturbed loser who becomes a real-world superhero.
Nevertheless, Super soars a little higher than I expected, and earns, at the very least, its cult status. It also has a certain brutal honesty that Kick-Ass lacks.
