Superman: Solar

Seeing as it's a fan film the bar was set pretty low but I found some important aspects of the film was done poorly the casting was bad as none of the actors seemed to be able to "act" and I don't mean in an amateur way like basically just reading the script back to you which would have been better if that wasn't also bad at the core of the film itself it's characters it tried to depict were clearly not understood if not of the big s I doubt you would be a able to tell superman or the bald head Lex Luther it's not a professional film so I'll cut it some slack it's OK watch to while away time and not taken too seriously.

This team knows Superman and the struggles we face daily. Not everything can be solved by strength or speed, and this movie proves Superman is up for anything, no matter how challenging the task. There's a lot of heart, love and dedication put into this fan film, with impressive detail to the characters.

The VFX, story and cinematics are impressive, and you can tell the team took their time to get it right.

Insane what was accomplished with such a small budget. If you're wanting a superman fan film with heart and emotions this is the one for you. I won't spoil the film, as it's a must watch, but the team did a wonderful job a replaying their message, building the characters and putting it all together.

Without spoiling anything, do make sure you watch all the way through the credits.

I am willing to cut a lot of slack for an indie film. I know technically, this is more of a fan film than true indie, but the principle is the same. Its a low budget film made outside of the hollywood system. I love that. I respect that.

So when I saw this is a truly bad film, I am not saying its bad in a "oh the VFX dont look like a million bucks" way. I mean its bad in a "has the director ever seen a movie" way

the acting, especially for clark kent, is bad. No charisma, so personality, and barely emoting at all. There are so many trained actors who are seeking some work, the acting here doest rise to community theater levels.

The camera work is sloppy. Again, not in a cheap camera sense, but in a way that shows no understanding of filmmaking. Why are shots framed the way they are? Where is the sense of continuity within a shot? How do they push the story forward

The writing is also very on the nose. No subtlety, no wit, no interesting way to convey information

There is no reason for a fan film to be bad. Its just an indie film that cant make any money. Lots of fan art is great. This isnt.

Wow. Yes this movie is about comic book universe, its exciting, great vfx music and full of fun superhero moments...

... but what it is.. is a deep and real story that everyone can relate to. This is a relatable story to anyone and mental health is the main focus, which I loved.

I want to say congrats to this team to create such a stunning, interesting and exciting fan film on a very small budget. Smaller than what anyshow or movie would spend on one persons wardrobe.

I will be sending and sharing this to my family and friends and i think this film will live on for years to come and touch many more fans.

Where to begin... Their is so much love and care to a story in this. Yes plenty of fun easter eggs and superman moments but at its core its a story we can all relate to about mental health.

They really capture supermans greatest ability, his care and love for others.

When you realize this is a fan film on a shoe string budget it's even more shocking how good it is. At times the VFX rival movies and high dollar TV... The locations/costumes are top notch... The acting touched me on a personal level. Lois was perfect, Superman was perfect and I loved the character of Matt.

Watch this with an openmind and remembering its a fan filmand youll have a good time!
