A broad comedy (yes, it has to be, it's not a tragedy) on the aging Superhero's retirement
OK, everybody, if you're young and serious about Superhero movies, then this is like Monty Python... it simply cannot be taken seriously.
If you're a hipster older person, with a somewhat crude or random sense of humor, then this is a fun flick and well worth the rent.
Failing "SUPERPOWERS" is what we all face after a certain age, which might be now... say, 70. Hell, I worked to the age of 67. Lucky for me, I still had a job. Now, imagine if you ARE/WERE a SUPERHERO.
The director Steve Barron directed the films Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Coneheads and The Adventures of Pinocchio, This movie is along those lines, which broadly might be "fish out of water" genre films. Kinda.
The script is funny, perserse and crude, and hey, again, it's not going to be as actually involving as say, Cocoon (1985)... isn't meant to be. I also felt the special effects were actually quite well done (funny for the scenes and "believable" for the characters).
This might not be as big a big budget film (on what?), but shows skills and real fun in giving us "of a certain age, with a kid's sense of humor" a ckeeky carnival of life ride, in a nursing home with Irish exteriors.
Sorry if I just re-wrote ops-52535, but I want to add the "stars" in the film did a good job with the broad material, and I must be a rake, but I thought both Fiona Glascott and Fionnula Flanagan were hotties.

A bit predictable but fun and entertaining
I'd probably rate this a 6.5 or so, deserves to be rounded up, though.
The special effects are a bit rudimentary in some scenes, but it's a lot of fun to see some of the familiar faces in this. There's a lot of acting talent here, even some A-list starpower from yesteryear.
It's supposed to be a fun, tongue-in-cheek look at superheroes in retirement -and it hits the mark!

Pure Camp - just for fun
Don't watch if you're in a serious film mood or mode. This is pure camp. Enjoy it for what it is. Fun seeing the older actors being, ah, silly. They did it well! Could it have been better? Yep. Who and what couldn't? Repeat: It's camp. It's just for fun. Get the popcorn and suspend all belief. Be silly - they certainly are!
Despite the naysayers...
...this is an entertaining movie if not taken seriously. And the old age superhero gimmick works mostly due to the funny dialogue between a hero's dream-team out to avenge the death of one of their retirement home comrades. The special effects are set at 1970s TV mode and the cast play it straight for maximum tongue-in-cheek. Younger geeks won't get it, but us older ones will. 8/10 alone for the heart put into this project.
I enjoyed it but i am an old fan boy
Not for someone who doesn't have a comic book collection. I liked it. The end was a bit rushed. There were some jumps in logic. Overall a fun ride
