Super Capers (2009)

Like a prophet, apparently this movie can't be reviewed fairly for what it is in its own time, or perhaps the humor is to deep for some, or maybe I'm just so old I get the humor. Whatever it is, I watched the movie to the very end... Past the corn bread recipe in the credits and beyond lol Keep in mind, The Princess Bride wasn't appreciated by most in its day either but what a great movie that was. I hope someday they make the sequel because this was a very funny movie for me at least. Old in body, young at heart. I went in to this movie totally blind and with no expectations. Maybe that's why I wasn't disappointed. I laughed often and found a lot in this movie to be admired. For one thing, I can watch it with my kids and there is a bit of a shortage on comedies I can watch with my kids, (ranging form 10-25) that will keep them all entertained. All in all, if I feel i definitely got my money's worth and more and apparently to "Get" this movie, it might be necessary to go in without expectations and take the journey for what it is. A fun way to spend free time with people you like.

This movie absolutely blows! Even for what it is supposed to be, a low budget super hero spoof. Ray Griggs did a shameless job of acting in his own movie with uninspired skill. As a director he spent the money on the things that were not in the shot very long and not focusing on costumes falling apart in close-ups. Two million dollars on what? The neighbor kid makes better movies and all he has is a cheap DV camera and some imagination ..which this thing lacks. I hope you are sued, not by all of shameless unauthorized Easter eggs but by everyone who paid money to see this. Don't bother even if your tastes includes cheesy spoof comedy. Nothing to see here, move along.

First off, let me say, so many people on IMDb just don't know how to comment on a movie or even rate it, personally, I watch a lot of movies and I was quite reluctant to watch this movie as it was a low budget movie but I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Sure, maybe the acting is not the greatest but it was actually quite funny and a great movie to watch if you have nothing else to watch. I'm pretty sure the above raters are grumpy old 40 year olds, but I assure you, this movie is worth the time, it wouldn't live up to standards of major flicks, but it would be a great great family movie. I especially loved the way it was made like a comic, with occasionally words like "ping" and "whack" appearing on the screen, which gave it an extra effect and funny sounds that made it "funny".Its a good watch, and if you have kids, WATCH IT, but if you are "OLD" and are very serious and think movies should be "REAL" then KEEP AWAY and stop writing negative comments.I have to add though, the ending was somewhat disappointing, I wanted to give it an eight but it dropped a mark for the ending.

First off, I do not know how to rate this movie. If this was supposed to be a parody, spoof or a satirical take on super heroes and super hero movies it was palatable, but just barely as had its moments that were not too bad. If it was supposed to be a "serious" (I use this term loosely) super hero movie, then I'd give it a -4. The Moviemeter shows it up almost 7400% for the week (HELLO???!!!), so someone is watching this bomb and either likes it, or gets it, or is too wasted to care (my choice; and maybe what one needs to do is be wasted before watching this movie!). Or the entire system is rigged (my personal belief on how movies are rated on....). That this movie actually had a plot, though stolen from too many movies to list, makes me think they were trying for a spoof, but unfortunately did not quite hit the mark. Too bad, as it could have been a fairly okay movie.
