SuperBob

I put off watching this film for so long because of all the negative reviews on here but I've just finished watching it and felt compelled to log on here and tell you all just how much I enjoyed it and don't listen to all the negative reviews. I don't know what those people were expecting, maybe they prefer those awful Marvel Avengers films instead, in which case, I have no empathy with such people because I hated those.

This is a nice little film with no huge budget, it didn't need one, it doesn't rely on effects and its not really a superhero film in that way. It's just a nice understated feel good film about a hopeless dullard who just happens to be the world's only superhero. I laughed or chuckled out loud more than three times and had plenty of moments were it just made me smile. It had a few familiar faces, the lead was recognisable to me from the series 'Derek', which I have to point out how much I hated that show so as not to tarnish the quality of my opinion. I enjoy everything Ricky Gervais has ever done with the exception of that show, Extras and the Office were amazing but Derek is the worst ordeal I've ever voluntarily put myself through. Sorry to go through that in more detail than was probably necessary, but yeah, the lead guy had a small role in that and this film is good and I recommend you see it.

After watching the trailer I thought this was going to be the typical crap with all the cool shots in the trailer. The second statement is true. The first one isn't.

I'm a regular rater and this is probably my first review. I feel the urge to write a positive review because this is the first time I've seen something different in a while. And it's also an independent production. It needs to be known. Superbob rocks.

This is what Hancock wished to be. This movie has a real plot and real characters. For punches watch a DC/Marvel one. For story watch this. It's a simple one, very heartfelt and enjoyable.

A different look into the life of a superhero. Good performances and bunch of fun. It'll probably make you smile!

A really quaint comedy. Brett Goldstein is so watchable. I recently saw him doing stand up in London and he was excellent so was really pleased to see he had the lead in a film.

A heads up for those wanting a marvel/dc actioner this is not it.

The characters, even those with one lines are just brilliant and there is a real warmth and feeling to the film. It reminded me in essence of Hunt for the Wilderpeople. A comedy that doesn't try too hard for laughs and as such achieves even more authentic ones.

Leaves you with a smile on your face.

I just can't believe this didn't get more attention or a wider initial release.

Strangely enough Brett was in "Derek" on the BBC and this does have a similar balance of humour, sentimentality (and I mean that in a positive way) and good natural acting.

Well done

Finally had an opportunity to enjoy this film! (Special thanks to The Divine Ms. Jayde's review on Films To Be Buried With for hyping it up)

Brett Goldstein is great as the good hearted and subtly lonely hero which is likely exactly how a regular guy hit by a meteor and turned superhero would be.

Catherine Tate as the hard nosed boss never fails to deliver dry humored one liners. (A stark contrast from Donna Noble but still a pleasure to watch)

I laughed, I had a little cry, I got the warm and fuzzies. Goldstein could literally read the back of a crisps bag and I'd probably find it fascinating. Cannot say enough about how much I treasure that man and his creativity.

If you're here for Roy Kent, you aren't going to find him. But you will find a somewhat gooey centered man who can fly. What's not to like? Watch this film!
