Worst movie I have ever seen
posted on 24 Jun 2009I don't know how movies like this are getting financing but I need to find out. From the beginning this movie is painful. I was very surprised at some of the cast that signed on for this. Mostly new comers and of course the queen of bad movies,Danielle Harris. It feels like they wrote this as they went along. I find the positive comments here suspect ,I bet they are some of the cast and crew because this crap is unwatchable.It is an attempt to make a comedy about super heros but the characters are not funny and are extremely predictable humor.This looks more like a community college film classes attempt at their first movie. Im shocked that this actually found distribution, can you say trust fund baby?
A hapless, and clueless super hero wannabe has his day.
posted on 20 Jun 2009First off, I do not know how to rate this movie. If this was supposed to be a parody, spoof or a satirical take on super heroes and super hero movies it was palatable, but just barely as had its moments that were not too bad. If it was supposed to be a "serious" (I use this term loosely) super hero movie, then I'd give it a -4. The Moviemeter shows it up almost 7400% for the week (HELLO???!!!), so someone is watching this bomb and either likes it, or gets it, or is too wasted to care (my choice; and maybe what one needs to do is be wasted before watching this movie!). Or the entire system is rigged (my personal belief on how movies are rated on....). That this movie actually had a plot, though stolen from too many movies to list, makes me think they were trying for a spoof, but unfortunately did not quite hit the mark. Too bad, as it could have been a fairly okay movie.
How did this movie get made?
posted on 09 Apr 2009Don't get me wrong, I love spoof films. Well, good spoof films. But Super Capers isn't a good spoof film.Sure, it has a slightly recognizable cast, with some surprising cameos. And sure, the genre is ripe for a good spoof, and there are a couple (maybe 1 1/2) moments of true humor, but Super Capers just plain misses the mark most of the time.The use of stupid sound effects, giving Whalen the lead and the total lack of any powerful super-villains (a bad guy who waddles really, really fast and a cool looking minotaur) shows that the creator didn't really know what to do beyond "Let's make a movie!". Where did the Writer/Director/Producer/Actor come from? Ray Griggs' only other real production is a 7 minute test reel for a movie about Lucifer that is still "in production" after three years.Where in the world did Griggs get the backing and support to make such a bad "big" movie? These things aren't cheap. If only Neill Blonkamp of "District 9" fame had gotten this kind of backing, he wouldn't have had to waste his time working in the system for over 10 years.If you want a good superhero spoof movie, check out Superhero Movie. It's not Shakespeare, but at least they were a lot closer on the spoof material.
Just plain awful
posted on 22 Mar 2009The cast is what made me give this a shot.Where to begin... God, this movie is just so bad. The humor is terrible, predictable, and it's all been done before. And been done better.The acting was so overdone, even for a parody movie. In fact, everything was overdone. This should have been a Disney Channel original movie. It even has those constant cartoonish sound effects, probably intended to be cute, that just come off as childish.Two stars for quality of the photography, sound work, background music, etc. Meaning that basically it doesn't look like an independent home movie, but rather does look like it cost some substantial money to make. But a Hollywood budget does not a good movie make, and if that needed proving, this movie's done it.
Good, surprisingly funny and a alright cast
posted on 10 Jul 2009Unsure on whether to watch this or not after seeing the rating on IMDb and I now think that the reputation of it being just another spoof film proceeded it. The film is funny from the start and progress's threw-out. The cast is actually pretty decent all from comedy's chuck / scrubs etc and make for good viewing pleasure as they work well together.The film follows the story of a young misfit hero who has yet to find his place in the world. Sentenced to join a school for superhero's he must now find his place among them.The special guest appearances just add to the general amusement of the film,"Ryan McPartlin" aka captain awesome from chuck is great in it. I'm glad I decided to watch it and id recommend anyone to do the same. I'm disappointed to see the low rating it has as its actually one of the better spoof films for awhile.
