GamerTab That was an excellent one.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
James Wright This Indie movie hopefully won't confuse anyone simply because it concerns superheroes, it is definitely on the small-scale and personal side. That does not mean it is a bad movie and it uses the superhero genre to explore different sides of personal relationships, but if you are expecting epic action to any degree then look away.There are probably other ways you could have told this story, but the colourful costumes and dry wit of the situations work well together and creates an enjoyable atmosphere. Perhaps the best part of the superhero structure used here is that the main character's confusion over his own identity. Not only is it compelling, but it makes him diverse and both likable and dislikeable at the same time, avoiding the trap of creating a bland avatar or annoying totem to preach from.Overall this is an enjoyable movie that is hard to classify as any one genre, I will say that there is more romance and comedy than drama or action, although it has smatterings of all four. I would recommend this movie for a casual watch as it is enjoyable, but doesn't really have any stand-out moments to make you rush out and see it right away.
reaseltbim I think the movie had some interesting ideas, I liked that it dealt with secret identities, it dealt with friendship, and they even had a mystery in the story. I also liked all the actors in this. Sadly the problem is that it takes too long to get going. I did not laugh once. I wish this was made as a serious movie and not a comedy because sometimes when it was dragging a lot it was because of the attempts at comedy. Seems like if you tried to take out the "funny" parts, the movie would only be half as long. They should have developed the characters more, or explore their back stories more as well, You don't really know anything about these guys. They had an interesting concept and some pretty good ideas but that gets lost on the way. I don't understand why it says it is a comedy.
porovaara Alter Egos comes at you with the full understanding that you are a comic shop/scifi type person from the very start. For the niche who this film was presumably made for, it has everything and the kitchen sink. However, for others who aren't in the same social spaces most of the movie may fall flat or seem tedious or just out-right silly. The actors/staff/crew did amazing jobs considering the very low budget of this film.TLDR; In-joke movie only appeals to very specific fans.... and of course everything is left open-ended so perhaps we shall receive a sequel!
bennysbeast after seeing respectable reviews i was sort of expecting something along the lines of kickass, so i thought id give it a shot, its terrible, its low budget, the acting garbage, and the story in just rubbish, the cover makes u think that theirs multiply hero's, after near 50mins id seen 2 in the film(only 1hr 20mins long), 2nd theirs no real super powers used, 1 guy can c through walls, which he uses maybe 2x just to stare at his friend talking to a girl at hotel counter,and the other guy uses ice power .. which he freezes an empty glass at the motel counter, thats it.. i was expecting even comedy basis in it, but seriously it didn't make me laugh 1ce.. any1 who rates this film over a 5 is blatantly just trying to boost its score, seriously don't waste ya time on it.
