Wow this film is totally crazy but I liked it!

At first I thought that I would be seeing something like Kick Ass and it is similar in a certain way. An ordinary man, living in our ordinary world, decides to become a superhero although he has any super power. But this is the only similarity between both.

I don't know if I can define Super as a comedy, I laughed with it many times but the film definitely has a dark tone in it and many disturbing scenes.
Rainn Wilson's character Frank is a very troubled man, he was definitely marked by his childhood and that is reflected in his adulthood. In consequence of that he can't be happy at all. Frank become even more disturbed when his wife suddenly disappears. That's when he decides to become Crimson Bolt. When Libby, a girl working in a comic book store appears in his life things turn even more crazy because she is totally insane.

Both of the performances by Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page are great and Nathan Fillion is hilarious as the Holy Avenger. Kevin Bacon was good also.

At the end of it I had a great time watching this different and interesting film. I can't develop much more about it without spoiling.
Unlike all superhero films the action is not the most important thing about it but the psychological part is.
