La Légende des super-héros

OK for a movie that is basically a "one-man band" flick by the director John MacDonald. But most of it falls flat, and is mostly boring. I wish I could give it a better rating, since it's one of the first movie attempts by The Daily Wire, but I have to be honest here. Maybe next time they can produce a movie that is a little bit better than this. I like Cary Elwes , but unfortunately he put the dull in Mandullbaum here.

I was looking forward it. Trailer implied comedy, drama and action. Yet, there's very little comedy, no action and a sad drama. Poor boring story. 0 character development. The most likeable character is the fat security guard. Couldn't care less about the rest.

The movie felt as a theater production play and was an amateur one too. This could've been amazing with a few simple addition to the story, yet as is, this is 3/10 and I am being generous by giving it 3/10, which all goes to the cast.

I saw the trailer and thought, "Oh, this looks fun."

I was wrong. It was really boring. I didn't care about any of the characters. The extremely limited super hero scenes were super cheap looking. I enjoyed the 70s aesthetics but that wasn't enough to carry the film. Especially considering that most of the movie took place in one room.

A lot of the reviews here feel the need to mention "The Daily Wire" being involved with this movie. That should neither be a pro nor a con. This movie sucked, and it doesn't matter who made it or why. If you like watching spoiled children complain about how much of a douche their father is (and he is), you'll love this movie. Because that's all it is. Anyone who gave this movie a 10 is lying.

Some movies don't really take off and don't really go anywhere, it's like the director is experimenting or thinks all their ideas are so cool or so cute... not!

Jon McDonald's superhero comedy "The Hyperions" is quite possibly the most unique entry in the superhero genre I have ever seen. Its use of cartoonish visual effects to convey superpowers is gleeful to watch and it never gets old.

The humor is much akin to a Wes Anderson film, with dry jokes pervading the screenplay in every scene. Not all of them land, but they always fill the already fantastical world with even more levity.

I was surprised by how much I liked the characters and how they interact with one another. They're all distinct with their own unique grudges against each other, and it's cathartic at times to watch them overcome their misgivings.

Unfortunately, this film contains a lot of high concepts, and packing them all into 90 minutes proves a little too daunting. It certainly doesn't waste any of its impressive story and world building elements, but none of them are used quite as effectively as they could have been. The film ends feeling quite rushed...all of the characters' emotions and the superpower elements could have been explored and integrated far more deeply and effectively than they were.

Despite its somewhat surface-level treatment of its deep material, this is a breezy watch, and a far more engrossing one than I was expecting.
