Super, directed by James Gunn (Slither, Dawn of The Dead, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed), is a dark comedy and superhero satire. Is that a warning? Well, if you watch Super because it has Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page in it and you automatically assume it’s a comedy, then boy you’re barking on the wrong tree. Some scenes can be violent, they make you question the point of this movie: is it to entertain or to disturb you? Perhaps it’s a cross breed, sort of, between Watchmen and Kickass. It has the satirical feeling that Kickass represents, the superhero cliche, that any of us can be a superhero, defender of living crooks. It also gives you that dark ambiance Watchmen has. Combined the two and voila: you got Super.
