Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Offers genuine empathy with the put-upon protagonist's longing for justice, yet plays the bloody ramifications for cartoonish fun.

rotten:
This movie is too pedestrian for camp, and too scattershot for an action comedy.

"Super" could use the certitude of its hero, but the weapon it wields instead is a scalpel to see what's inside us.

rotten:
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.
