Superheroes
Jason: I get mixed signals from this
documentary, the same mixed signals I feel toward the superhero movement. On
the one hand, good on someone for standing up for what they believe
in and trying to make a difference. On the other hand, seek
professional help crazy fuckers! I think the filmmaker is as conflicted about the whole thing as I am. I had a hard time grasping what I was
watching only because it's hard to believe people are really doing
this. I can't admire them because I think they're
mentally ill. And most of them will probably get
killed in the process. As a work of journalism, I liked Superheroes. But I won't watch it
again. So it gets a Bad from me!
Shawn: Wow. Did I ever consider a vigilante-costume-ass-kicking gig? Why sure. The reason I didn’t actually
partake in it? I’m not mentally unstable NOR do I have superpowers. I came off this doc with a bad taste in
my mouth. It was far more sad than I could really have imagined. I
felt sorry for a few of the “heroes." Living in a van, living
with obvious alcoholism and I’m sure some mental disorders. This was a neat look at real-life
superheroes, but not a great documentary, as I’m not sure how I am supposed to feel about the subject matter. But in the end, I didn’t like
it. So Ugly for me.
