Super Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Scott Foundas
Gunn's movie is an ingeniously nasty concoction that feeds the cult of superhero fandom back into itself.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Super is a tonal hash, awkwardly skipping beats from bleak to boisterous, cartoonish to gruesome, and the actors, too, seem to be playing at different speeds, with Page's insufferable screechiness poorly squaring with Wilson's glum poker face.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Super just doesn't fly.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
This movie is too pedestrian for camp, and too scattershot for an action comedy.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"Super" could use the certitude of its hero, but the weapon it wields instead is a scalpel to see what's inside us.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
A sense of style can make up for a lot at the movies. But James Gunn's brutal new comedy-thriller, "Super," succeeds only in demonstrating that without it, you may not have much of anything.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Could be endearing, if Wilson's performance weren't so nihilistically dull, and if there were somebody in the picture who had a soul.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
A tonally inconsistent comedy that nevertheless features one of my absolute favorite performances of the year so far and enough interesting ideas to warrant a look.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Super plunges into nihilistic despair in its third act. This isn't a black comedy because it isn't a comedy. It's a trick played on our expectations, I concede, but to what end?
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Wilson does amusingly steely work, while Page goes bonkers, giving her gleeful nut job one of the more memorable horselaughs in recent American film history.
Slate
Nathan Heller
As a movie, Super is unfocused and bafflingly inconsistent. It is also the most genuinely surprising new release I've seen in a long time.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The spectacle soon wearies and repels.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Logan Hill
For all its indie posturing, Super feels as callow as any other big studio flick to court Comic Con: A B-movie splatter flick dressed up as a critique, dressed up as a black comedy, dressed up as a spoof, and capped with an ironic epilogue.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
We root for Frank even though his antics as the Crimson Bolt become more and more extreme as the film goes along, especially after Boltie joins the team, keeping things in an insane moralistic grey area that's thought-provoking and invigorating.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A lot less funny than it sounds.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
"Super" starts off feeling like a cult comedy you might catch during a midnight film festival. But since Gunn never nails his tone, the concept makes more sense than the execution.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Most of the time it isn't clear whether Gunn is critiquing violence or celebrating it.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Super" flings around its dingy shocks with little feel for context, wit or filmmaking skill.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Shows us a nebbish who becomes a costumed crime fighter without telling us anything interesting about nebbishes or crime fighters.
