In the outlandish dark comedy SUPER, James Gunn has created what is perhaps the definitive take on self-reflexive superheroes. When sad-sack loser Frank (Rainn Wilson) sees his ex-addict wife (Liv Tyler) willingly snatched by a seductive drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), he finds himself bereft and wholly unable to cope. But, inspired shortly after by fictional man-made superheroes of lore, he decides to fight back under the guise of a DIY crimefighter, the Crimson Bolt. With a hand-made suit, a wrench, and a crazed sidekick named Boltie (Ellen Page), the Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife.

Looks entertaining even though its imo a ripoff
Edit: But according to a comment on youtube Games Gunn wrote the screenplay for Super in 2002 and have been trying to get it made since 2004 - while the first issue of Kick-Ass was published 2008. If this is true or false, I have no idea
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
Kick-Ass rocked (as did the comic series, though the film would have been better had it followed the comic plot) so I'm looking forward to this one too =)
I gave it 8/10. Check the "The last watched movie" thread.
I like these odd movies. It started out slow but turned into the better once Ellen Page started getting more into the story. Love her acting!
