Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel

A passionate homage to the superhero genre. Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel is filled with a great ensemble cast plus many cameos of genre stars (Eric Roberts was a highlight for me) and is sprinkled with good-hearted themes, and comedy all throughout. A nice indie offering.

...cheesy fun is what you'll get. The jokes are corny, the puns are aplenty, the cameos are funny, and-when you least expect it-there are some very touching moments.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and clearly anyone giving it a positive review/rating was involved with the production in some way. Do not see this under any circumstances. It's not even fun bad. It's just painful.

This movie looks like someone shot it with their phone. The sound quality is horrible at times and mostly hard to hear. The acting is so bad, especially the "helpful" trio. I can do a better green screen at home. The writing is especially unfunny, randomly referencing Star Trek or Doctor Who without involving an actual joke is reminiscent of especially unfunny episodes of The Big Bang Theory. I am a Star Trek fan, so seeing Nichelle Nichols credited at this "campy comedy" was what drawn me to it. Now I wonder how much did they pay her. Robert Picardo seems to be stuck in acting in fanfilms and low budget movies like this recently...poor guy. I regret wasting my Sunday morning on this.

With the abundance of blockbuster super-hero films dominating the box-office, it's refreshing to see a thoroughly comedic take on the genre! It's quite obviously a low-budget, b-grade film - but the cast & the filmmakers know that, and they do a solid job of delivering a camp, funny film, filled to the brim with a host of b-grade celebrity cameos (is there anything Eric Roberts isn't in?). Grab a couple of drinks, don't take it too seriously, and you'll have a blast watching this.
