Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

AthenaStardear Last I checked, police cars we're still burning fossil fuels and stuck on planet earth, while imagination take us anywhere. This movie made it enjoyable to share the character's blurred line between imagination and reality, to fight crime and do amazing things.Totally clean humor fun. Glad I paid attention to details that make it LOL funny numerous times, both at the characters and myself.Nothing at all like other recent similarly framed films.With surprises along the way, Griff is a refreshing a dash of fantasy science fiction, with a focus that reminds me that innovation starts with imagination - portrayed in a simple way that brings it all down to earth.Though there was heartbreak, it ended perfectly; plus an extra star for appreciating kitties.

chaz-28 People see the world through different windows. Most of us see the everyday stark reality of work, home, and family. A few people see things a bit more unusually. On the surface, Griff (Ryan Kwanten) leads an unassuming and mundane life. He has a job as a shipping liaison in a cramped cubicle, he does not enjoy talking to people, and he seems to hide even when he is walking on the street. Because of Griff's social ineptitude, he is a magnet for bullies. There is a bully at work who singles out Griff for torment and even Griff's brother Tim (Patrick Brammall) makes Griff feel uncomfortable with his overbearing manner.Griff has a secret though. There is a reason he chooses not to have any friends and only works rote office jobs. He is a superhero. At night, he scans the streets with a telescope and a bank of computers from his apartment searching out ruffians intent on harming neighborhood women. The police commissioner will call him with tips and thanks for a job well done. To keep his superhero costume in working order and incorporate new technologies, Griff visits a local hardware store and always warns the cashier to forget he was ever there.Melody (Maeve Dermody) also has a secret. She realizes that since there is so much space between the atoms in our bodies and the atoms in walls that if she aligns herself just right, she can walk through walls. She happens across Griff and is mesmerized. Here is a kindred spirit. Melody cannot stand the workaday men who fancy her because they see the world as it really is. Griff, on the other hand, does not see hardly any reality and this strikes Melody as the most wonderful thing she has ever seen.The story and interactions between aloof Griff and curious Melody work. They have a special conversational style and truly understand one another. When they are on screen together, the film works. Unfortunately, when they are apart and it is just Griff and his superhero activities, the film is a complete mess. Griff is really not a very interesting character when it is just him in his apartment trying out new superhero ideas. Melody is the character the audience cares about and wants to watch, so whenever she is off screen, you spend that time just waiting for her to reappear.

joe-1588 When the movie started out, I thought I was in for an interesting super-hero movie. A quirky character who is a complete loser that puts on a suit and can crush crime, while also pulling pranks in the office. Throw in a potential love triangle with the main character, his brother, and his brothers girlfriend, and it seems like it has potential to be a goofy super hero movie, with the expectation it might be light on action.But soon you find the movie dragging on with nothing really too interesting happening, just moving from one scene to the next where you don't feel any real connection to the characters. Perhaps it is because the characters are so odd that it is hard for me to connect with them, or perhaps it is just a bad script and acting. The music and the idea that something interesting might present itself further in the plot kept me in my seat through to the end, but I had to struggle when it felt like it was going nowhere.At the end of the day, this movie isn't a comedy, it isn't an action/super-hero movie, and it isn't a drama. It is a confusing romance movie lacking in romance and filling in that void with quirk and music that makes you feel like there is more to it.

Movie/TV watcher This is a quirky romantic/comedy - NOT A SUPERHERO MOVIE.That said - it is amazing if not for the fact nothing is "real".2 people find each other and you feel very good for them.The special effects are very amazing - enough to confuse you into forgetting this is NOT a superhero movie. Very high quality! You feel sad once you understand his life, but happy he found someone.Also for me - I found it weird nothing 'Australian' popped out as I watched. Is that unusual a foreign movie that does show off their country? Very tight relationship movie.A solid 4 because the hero I saw wasn't as super as the poster lead me to believe...just super because he was there for his woman.
