Superman: Solar

For a fan film with a pretty small budget they deliver an exciting and no traditional superman story.

The creators really understand what superman is. He's a friend, to everyone.

While this film has some outstanding vfx moments and plenty of action the story is driven around a very real and relatable thing many of us go through in our lives... depression. The pacing is fantastic and keeps you excited.

I saw some low ratings and couldnt figure out why, read more into it... seems like silly review bombing because of opposing political views which had nothing to do with this film or its message.

Is the acting perfect? No. But its a fan film.

The costume? Sets? Spcial effects? And story? That is perfect!

Great job to the team!

I am willing to cut a lot of slack for an indie film. I know technically, this is more of a fan film than true indie, but the principle is the same. Its a low budget film made outside of the hollywood system. I love that. I respect that.

So when I saw this is a truly bad film, I am not saying its bad in a "oh the VFX dont look like a million bucks" way. I mean its bad in a "has the director ever seen a movie" way

the acting, especially for clark kent, is bad. No charisma, so personality, and barely emoting at all. There are so many trained actors who are seeking some work, the acting here doest rise to community theater levels.

The camera work is sloppy. Again, not in a cheap camera sense, but in a way that shows no understanding of filmmaking. Why are shots framed the way they are? Where is the sense of continuity within a shot? How do they push the story forward

The writing is also very on the nose. No subtlety, no wit, no interesting way to convey information

There is no reason for a fan film to be bad. Its just an indie film that cant make any money. Lots of fan art is great. This isnt.

I rarely watch a fan film that I dislike as usually the fan's love for the source material shines through any janky cgi and cinematography, in this instance that is not the case.

The acting is straight up emotionless, the writing borders on comedically bad and the way Superman is framed is wish fulfilment ignoring who the character has been since conception.

This is a film to appease people who don't know enough about Superman, don't know his personal dynamics and don't know how Lois Lane works.

There are so many weird cuts between shot as well that look like a bunch of random interconnected scenes thrown together.

He cares about everyone, even the little guy. The guy we ignore everyday on our way to work or around the city. Thats what makes Superman special. The creators truly got that.

Some really great VFX sequences and exciting moments mixed in with a beautiful story of Superman helping one person. Because everyone matters to him.

Saw some negative reviews fabricated by nonsense it seems. It's a fan film sure. Has some flaws, but it delivers on so many levels compared to any other Superman fan film we've ever gotten and most fan films in general.

Everything in this has a meaning to move the story, tell a bigger picture. Not mindless fighting. Bravo to the team. This film should be seen by every Superman fan.

The people rating this utter garbage 10/10...come on. Looks like something Doug walker would make. Absolutely nothing redeemable, basically unwatchable. The only people praising this movie I imagine are doing it for some external culture war reasons I don't understand or care about. Go watch a Superman themed porno, I imagine the budget would be roughly the same with a much better script.

If you're really invested in the people who made this crap and want them to be successful despite their lack of talent or abilities, go ahead and lie to yourself and pretend this is watchable, let alone good. Just don't lie to others and act like this isn't objectively poor quality.
