Probably the best movie so far, this year. And it would have dodged my radar completely if my friend wouldn't have recommended it to me.
So here's me, recommending it to you.
It's a dark comedy, which will make you laugh, no doubt. But it's comedy saturated with a sad story about this great guy that escapes his ordinary life by turning into this Defendor character. Someone who's not afraid. Allegedly a thousand times better than the guy without the mask. And together they'll make you love this movie.
It actually reminded me a lot of "Reign Over Me" with Adam Sandler. Which is also very good.
If you're in the mood for a drama that'll captivate you, but won't rip your heart out, like Million Dollar Baby might have or most certainly will. This is what you're looking for.
Thank you, Woody!

Although this product is far from inventive, or full of carefully orchestrated comedy. It is by no matter of means, slow and boring. If anything, it makes the time fly.
The humour is rather stupid and vulgar, but if you're even close to being a sci-fi geek yourself, or able to appreciate how hilarious this kind of archetype can be. You won't be disappointed.
However, there is a failed attempt at adding heartfelt drama to this movie, no doubt trying to inspire people to follow their dreams and remind them that the time for doing so, is limited. Which isn't a bad thing to do, obviously. It just seemed a little bit out of place. On that note; I have no clue as to why drama and crime are added to this film's genre, you might as well add romance and sci-fi.
Disconnect your brain and laugh your aches away!

Adventure, drama, fantasy and a 8.0 rating with over 15,000 votes. Not to mention 14 pages of comments that showered it with endless praise. I couldn't have been more sure that this would be a great movie.
As it turns out, I was wrong.
I'm sure there's genius to be seen, if you look hard enough. But overall it's uneventful and completely failed to create any attachment to the characters. The story told in the movie is intriguing at first, but quickly becomes dull. Which leaves only the beautiful scenery and Catinca's contagious grin to keep this movie above 5/10. Luckily they do, but not by much.
I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this movie, but I wouldn't advice against it either. If you do watch it, I hope that it strikes closer to home for you than it did with me.
