Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
ParAviatOrator If you are expecting typical superhero flick laden with special effects, one in which the protagonist is cocksure of himself and knows what to do, says smart one-liners and saves the day... then this isn't the flick you would enjoy... Maybe that's why this one has got such a low score on IMDb. For me, it was a perfectly paced love story, which happens to fall in superhero genre. It's a slower paced rom-com which might not be suitable for everyone's palate. The ending is sweet, and does not preach any message (good over evil etc etc) but is more about finding love, and working up the courage to admit it.While an extremely polite superhero who gets lorded over by everyone, even an old lady might not make you admire him, but the way his politeness earns him goodwill as a dividend in the end makes you reconsider your opinion.All in all, a sweet short movie which deserves much better ratings than it currently holds... and maybe, a sequel.
David Turner I had high hopes for this film and really *wanted* it to be good. But within the first 15 minutes I knew I was in trouble. The storyline is all over the place, the characters are terrible, and it's generally an awkward film to watch.The script reminded me of a high school production. Maybe it was mostly ad-libbed. Or maybe they spent all the budget on Catherine Tate and so couldn't afford a Script Editor. How bad is it? I actually think "Condorman" (1981) is a better film on a similar subject. That's how bad!"SuperBob" is not "Shaun of the Dead". It's not "Monty Python". And it's certainly not "hilarious". But at least it's only 82 minutes long.
KineticSeoul A low budget superhero romance movie that is actually endearing and highly watchable. Maybe it's the awkward interactions dealing with a awkward superhero, but I enjoyed watching the characters and the direction of this low budget movie. So the plot is about a postman that gains super powers after getting hit by a meteor. But the thing is, the guy is super socially awkward but a very likable and friendly guy. So the movie is about him dealing with his average daily life despite him being super awkward and having super powers. The thing is, socially awkward people or people that have trouble interacting with someone they really like or people that are a bit of a introvert will probably find the character Bob to be relatable. He is far from being the suave, cool and charming Batman/James Bond type of hero. Despite the awkward comedic elements that is the main driving force of this movie. Where you can have the looks or the money or the most genuine and good intentions, but just has a difficult time with the woman or the man you have a big liking to. If your an audience member that just wants to see some superhero action, you will leave disappointed. They just didn't have the budget for that. But if you want a movie with likable protagonist and endearing awkward humor you might enjoy this one. This movie sort of reminded me of the movie "Hancock" in some ways, but I liked this one more. Despite the limited budget and the very short running time. It's actually a enjoyable independent film that is worth a watch.7.1/10
steve-2156 Hanging Out With a Superhero...Yesterday I attended the World Premiere of SuperBob at the BFI.Wow!Mark Kermode, the film critic, has a '5 laugh rule' for a 90 minute movie. SuperBob smashed this within the first 10 minutes. It was very, very funny. SuperBob won the 'Discovery Award' at the LOCO Film Festival - watch it and you'll understand why.This is a real 'feel good' movie, a warm romantic comedy with SuperBob's romantic interests beautifully played by Natalia Tena and Laura Haddock.So, congratulations to the director, Jon Drever, and the lead and co-writer, Brett Goldstein, on an amazing achievement and I urge everyone to see this movie at the earliest opportunity.Hilarious! Go and see it!
