Superman: Solar

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.

What's so special about this fan film is how it really is for everyone. EVERYONE matters. It's made clear no matter how big or small you feel you DO matter. That message is what puts this film so high to me in terms of everything!

Anyone who says Superman isn't relatable needs to watch this.

It's such a wonderful story that will live on for years and years to come, it will be relatable to any and everyone.

I really enjoyed the nice shocking easter eggs and fighting I wasn't expecting, top of the line VFX with a wonderful cast.

You can tell they cared and most of all whoever wrote this, please hire them to write official works!!!

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!

For a fan film with a pretty small budget they deliver an exciting and no traditional superman story.

The creators really understand what superman is. He's a friend, to everyone.

While this film has some outstanding vfx moments and plenty of action the story is driven around a very real and relatable thing many of us go through in our lives... depression. The pacing is fantastic and keeps you excited.

I saw some low ratings and couldnt figure out why, read more into it... seems like silly review bombing because of opposing political views which had nothing to do with this film or its message.

Is the acting perfect? No. But its a fan film.

The costume? Sets? Spcial effects? And story? That is perfect!

Great job to the team!

He cares about everyone, even the little guy. The guy we ignore everyday on our way to work or around the city. Thats what makes Superman special. The creators truly got that.

Some really great VFX sequences and exciting moments mixed in with a beautiful story of Superman helping one person. Because everyone matters to him.

Saw some negative reviews fabricated by nonsense it seems. It's a fan film sure. Has some flaws, but it delivers on so many levels compared to any other Superman fan film we've ever gotten and most fan films in general.

Everything in this has a meaning to move the story, tell a bigger picture. Not mindless fighting. Bravo to the team. This film should be seen by every Superman fan.
