Superman: Solar

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.

What's so special about this fan film is how it really is for everyone. EVERYONE matters. It's made clear no matter how big or small you feel you DO matter. That message is what puts this film so high to me in terms of everything!

Anyone who says Superman isn't relatable needs to watch this.

It's such a wonderful story that will live on for years and years to come, it will be relatable to any and everyone.

I really enjoyed the nice shocking easter eggs and fighting I wasn't expecting, top of the line VFX with a wonderful cast.

You can tell they cared and most of all whoever wrote this, please hire them to write official works!!!

This should be the blue print for every fan film. A true real heartfelt story. While its full of superhero moments the story at its core is about showing love to everyone and that everyones thoughts and views hold value even if we dont see them.

The theme of not giving up and showing everyone no matter how different can relate to our struggles even if we cant imagine that.

Id love for hollywood to give this team a big budget and set them loose!

Wonderful job to everyone involved. Loved the VFX. Loved the message and fantastic acting. All the more impressive when you realize it was made on a very small budget!

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!

Wonderful fan film project! I really liked the superman suit (how is it better than the official one we got from james gunn is crazy) impressive this entire film was made under 20k budget.

Great vfx seeing supermans speed and powers in full effect. Probably one of the better fan films out there for superheroes in general.

A story that will live on forever and a story everyone needs to see. This is what superman will always be about. Helping everyone no matter how big or small the problem is.

Hats off to the entire team behind this fan project you guys did a wonderful job hope to se more projects from you.
