this was the only documentary i managed to catch and i really loved it on a different level than pelican blood but all the same it was very entertaining.
this was a lovely warm hand made documentary about a man who decides and manages to become a superhero.
allot like kick ass in premiss but not in style this was most defiantly filmed on whatever he filmmaker could find : wobbly mobile phones, handhelds, possibly some larger more professional equipment, non of this mattered as the film was seamless in its drive and the camera was a quirky reminder that it was someones own personal project, the lead clearly did care about the subject and that was endearing enough but to see others that he interviewed was very humbling along with being very funny. a weird type of charity worker , who happened to ware superhero costumes, these people actually exist.!
The thing i loved most about this doc was the clear goal, to become a superhero. In having this the audience was never board and it taught me that this is an important thing to consider from the start of creating an idea for a documentary. It subtly showed the audience some of the underlying problems in society in britain and america which i felt never brought the town down but left a lingering image in your mind when you left the cinema.
Funny and cleverly intelligent i'm glad this independent film maker got a platform to show his passion .
7/10
peace
