It's pretty good. It's a lot like Kick-Ass, but with a little more grit to it.

Looks interesting, can't seem to find a UK release date for it though. It's a shame about the timing really - I bet it would have done much better if Kick-Ass wasn't still so fresh in everybody's minds.

I doubt it. Defendor did alright last year.
Super was pretty bad. There's a fine line between gratuitous violence to make a point and gratuitious violence just for the sake of having it. It also helps to have likeable characters which Super did not. Rape scenes aren't going to help your case either...
I liked Ellen Page though.
I don't think Defendor even got a UK release, so it can't have done that well.
But I agree that Super didn't seem to get very good reviews and currently holds a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I don't know though, neither of those movies are likely to come out over here any time soon. They're losing screens to Danny Dyer...

this is a really good band that sort of represents my feelings about the time of the american civil rights movement up until now, that violence is a fading thing, which abstractly, this film sort of does challenge, the need to stay awayfrom the threat of violence. In fact, this movie is actually disturbing in a hyper-intellectual post-modern way.

Since when does every character have to be likeable?
Rape scene? I don't remember any rape-scenes (*searches memory). Oh, yeah, that rape scene. Dude, that was hilarious! Remember -- it's not rape, if you enjoy it.Uhh, please, nobody get offended; you gotta see the scene to realize that it actually is funny. Promise.
True. But with a movie like this, even if you don't like Wilson's character, you need to be on board with his journey. Not saying this is a hard fast rule for all of story-telling!
I love Rainn Wilson and I like seeing him doing stuff outside of The Office, but I found his character so flat and uninspired in this.
I don't wanna get too into it if you haven't seen it, though... **
(and her untimely demise was just as disappointing as Brad Pitt's character in Burn After Reading)
I watched a sneak peek scene of Super where Rain Wilson was in line at the movies, then bashing the heads in of some couple with a pipe wrench and was completely baffled as to why that would be funny. I mean I'm always a fan of the asshole who cuts in line getting his comeuppance, but a split cranium over it? And then smashing his girlfriend's face? The tone felt way to dark for me and wasn't funny at all -- to me. Then again, I've been over at someone's house at a party while guys watch outtakes of a show like Jack-Ass and they laugh when some dude gets his face bashed in (for real) with a skateboard by some other guy just for the sake of a random act of violence. "Hey, watch this. I'll hit this dude in the face with my skateboard. It'll be a riot!" Really?
I do like the phrase "Shut up, crime!" That's a good one.
Oh, and one other that's also very cool -- "Special".
