SuperBob

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 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

This is such a funny movie. This is the British take on Hancock. I will definitely recommend this movie to others.

The idea of a mild-manner postman becoming a superhero and taking all of his personality flaws with him makes for a great story. Normally we think that with the extra powers confidence will come along with it but that is not the case for Bob. Bob can't even get a date and he is the personal jar opener for a unionized security guard charged to protect Bob's life.

The "girl-friend" is stereotypical "Colombian" but she balances the "loser" persona of Bob.

Cute and funny a must see movie for the flip side of Marvel and DC characters.

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.

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