      super fan film

      Wonderful fan film project! I really liked the superman suit (how is it better than the official one we got from james gunn is crazy) impressive this entire film was made under 20k budget.

      Great vfx seeing supermans speed and powers in full effect. Probably one of the better fan films out there for superheroes in general.

      A story that will live on forever and a story everyone needs to see. This is what superman will always be about. Helping everyone no matter how big or small the problem is.

      Hats off to the entire team behind this fan project you guys did a wonderful job hope to se more projects from you.

      IT DOES ALOT WRONG

      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.

      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.

      Powerful Message

      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.

      Superflop

      I rarely watch a fan film that I dislike as usually the fan's love for the source material shines through any janky cgi and cinematography, in this instance that is not the case.

      The acting is straight up emotionless, the writing borders on comedically bad and the way Superman is framed is wish fulfilment ignoring who the character has been since conception.

      This is a film to appease people who don't know enough about Superman, don't know his personal dynamics and don't know how Lois Lane works.

      There are so many weird cuts between shot as well that look like a bunch of random interconnected scenes thrown together.
