All Superheroes Must Die

Before judging this film too harshly, remember it was made on a tiny budget and in a handful of days. It's basically a glorified student film, and if I were marking it, I'd give it an A. It's an interesting concept and the acting, while mediocre, shows promise, especially that of Jason Trost and Sophie Merkley. There's an awesome scene where the bitchy journalist guy from "Never Been Kissed" is dressed up as Uncle Sam and is armed with a flamethrower. It's worth a watch if only for that scene. James Remar is pretty good I guess, although it's hard to tell when he's basically a cackling, moustache-twirling level of villain. But in any case, this movie is a solid effort from writer/director Jason Trost. I'm looking forward to seeing what he offers to the genre world in coming years.

Combining comic book movies with the plot of Saw, All Superheroes Must Die ambitiously attempts to double dip. Striking amidst the early days of the MCU, the film aimed to invent a new breed of hero for cinema-goers... if anyone would have watched. While the Saw franchise started strong and struggled to create compelling puzzles in its later installments, All Superheroes Must Die immediately failed to produce any interesting challenges. Alongside its lackluster puzzles, the film introduces audiences to a forgettable cast of superheroes with powers so generic, they are never even used. Complete with a mediocre cast and incredibly simple dialogue, the film is a spectacle of wasted potential. All Superhoes Must Die promises many interesting ideas, but fails to deliver them.

I love the dark feel of the film that was not like your typical "super hero" movie. It seems that some of the critics of this film didn't understand it. Anyone who was a fan of "watchmen" would enjoy and understand this picture.

These characters were not over the top and exaggerated, they were portrayed as real/average people that happen to have super hero problems. This isn't a story that is tied up in a nice little bow at the end, where most Hollywood movies do. This is an edgy story that mirrors the unfortunate reality of actual life. The acting was solid, the directing was clean, and the writing was creative.

Maybe I am guilty of understanding what it really takes to make a film happen, and understand the constraints of time, schedules, and how filmmakers have to often make hard decisions on the fly to make something as big as a film happen.

I still say good job, and I look forward to more.

All Superheroes Must Die (AKA Vs) is a very low budget superhero drama directed by Jason Trost. The Premise is a villain (Rickshaw) played by James Remar somehow has removed the powers of 4 superheroes.He then forces them to attempt to save people he has put in harms way using teamwork and their own guile. They have to also fight other villains who still have their powers. This is an OK low budget film. The acting is average with the exception of James Remar who is actually good as the villain. He only appears via a video feed. I Could not get over the feeling this was like a poor mans Watchmen with a Joker type villain thrown in or the superhero version of SAW. Choreography is slightly below average and there are no CGI scenes. Movie is completely character driven with a few action sequences thrown in. Not for the typical superhero crowd but an OK low budget effort for the comic book reader population

After watching the trailer for the film this strangely caught my curiosity. I read a review online suggesting that I checked it out, giving it all sorts of praises. This was the first and probably only time that I've ever gotten angry at a review.

I swear to Christ, this was the absolute WORST movie that I've ever seen in my entire life. It is worse than The Room, Plan 9 from outerspace, or even trolls 2. At least those three films were humorous so while indirectly, it had an appeal. A reason to watch them, and a reason to enjoy watching them.

The director had absolutely no idea what he was doing. The character development was so bad that if a character died I might have actually gained a slight amount of excitement because that means the story is one step closer to ending.

The director apparently constantly tore pages of the script due to budget concerns. This needed to have been dealt with BEFORE shooting. A script needs to go through AT LEAST four drafts. Many of which need to be rewritten for story purposes, fixing mistakes(not necessarily grammatical, but relationships, dialogues, and characters themselves) and the last few drafts being edited for budget concerns.

A certain aspect of filmmaking is about compromise. Compromising with what you have, and if you don't have a big budget then for the love of God, please don't try to act like your story is bigger than what it was. I seriously cannot understand the appeal for films like this. I've often seen people online saying how they enjoy superhero movies, especially the much smaller low-budget ones.

Go watch the 2010 James Gunn film Super starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page. That's a low-budget superhero film done right. 2009's Defendor. Anohter low-budget superhero film done right. These such films are movies that didn't try to be anything else other than what it was. The cast worked with what they had, and the directors knew the art of filmmaking well enough to at least make a halfway decent film.

The premise seems slightly creative, the first scene seemed like it would be promising but it just fell flat as if the director went "Y'know what, **** it. Let's just make up new obstacles. The first idea is put into the movie" I mean the "creativity" of this so called "mastermind" villain was so poorly done that I actually lost complete interest for any kind of unique "traps" the heroes could face.

Were these people ever truly superheroes? Because they did their job pretty badly. The "shocking"(and I say shocking in quotations out of pure sarcasm) revelation about one of the characters just makes the viewer feel annoyed or even frustrated.

This film is directed, starred, and produced by the same person. He clearly had no freaking idea what he was doing and was completely in over his head. This film is among the ranks of student films and fan films on YouTube. The fact that it even got anywhere is astounding. The fact that people actually like this is even more astounding. If you're thinking of seeing this movie, you should probably just watch a bunch of little kids playing "Superhero" because it's probably a lot more entertaining and creative than this piece of trash.
