Superman: Solar

A garbage film that lacks any real understanding of what it means to shoot a film. What's the 180° rule? What's lighting? What's framing? I don't think the cameraman on this has ever filmed anything but school fight videos.

I would cut it some more slack if it had dignity, but the fact that this is one of the only reviews from an actual person speaks volumes. Almost every single review here was left by an account that was just created and has reviewed nothing else.

And this cost $50k? Be for real. This is garbage. I've seen middle and high schoolers shoot more compelling films on their camcorders. It's made by people with a lack of filmmaking knowledge, dignity, and heart. Boooo.

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!!!

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.

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.

This should be the blue print for every fan film. A true real heartfelt story. While its full of superhero moments the story at its core is about showing love to everyone and that everyones thoughts and views hold value even if we dont see them.

The theme of not giving up and showing everyone no matter how different can relate to our struggles even if we cant imagine that.

Id love for hollywood to give this team a big budget and set them loose!

Wonderful job to everyone involved. Loved the VFX. Loved the message and fantastic acting. All the more impressive when you realize it was made on a very small budget!
