UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

bregund The pathetic lives of Hollywood street performers are played out in excruciating detail in this film, as they imitate a success they will never attain, while they pose for pictures with tourists. These are back stories that we don't want to see: Sandy Dennis's son (is he or isn't he?), a thin, lizard-like man in a sweaty costume you can almost smell through the television, looking nothing like Christopher Reeve even though he insists he does. An aging, red-haired Batman with anger issues who can't find work because he insists that he resembles George Clooney. A Wonder Woman with no solid plans for the future, drifting into L.A. and making one poor life choice after another, and insisting that she's happy wasting her life away. A formerly homeless Hulk. A bipolar Marilyn Monroe angry about getting stiffed six times in a row on tips. It's all here, in great, ugly, detail; show it to your kids as a cautionary tale about staying in school.Among the many cringeworthy scenes in the film is Superman's visit to Metropolis, a tiny, sun-baked hamlet in the middle of nowhere, where the apparently 50-year-old Superman entertains a crowd of one hundred people and gets to meet none other than Margot Kidder, who hasn't made a film in twenty years, then proceeds to marry his girlfriend while still wearing his sad costume. This is the most depressing film I've seen in a long time.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Confessions of a Superhero, 2007, This documentary film follows the work, lives and dreams of four performers that dress like comic book heroes to be photographed with Hollywood's tourists.*Special Stars- Christopher Dennis, Maxwell Allen, Jennifer Wenger, Joe McQueen.*Theme- Living the dream is sometimes a bad nightmare if no reality is in your life.*Trivia/location/goofs- documentary or 'mock'umentary depending on your P.O.V., Shot mostly in Los Angeles and at the Hollywood and Highland tourist complex that includes the Grauman's Chinese theater & cement footprints forecourt.*Emotion- A particularly interesting film about another strange aspect of Hollywood for it's citizenry. The film starts off very up-beat and normal. Then it descends into some of the strangest, negative, and troubling revelations about the superhero performers private lives, previous jobs, and their life's hang-ups. This film is honest, raw, and maybe carefully contrived, so a certain amount of viewer's cynicism and apprehension makes this an effective film to connect with it's audience. This film makes you uncomfortable, but somehow wanting more about the film''s performer subjects.

controlclerk I gave this a seven stars simply because it entertained me. But know this, I am easily entertained. ;) To me, the only sympathetic individual was the "Hulk." He seemed to actually have integrity. I can't say anything negative about the guy at all. But I don't know these people, so I'm just relating what I got from the movie. "Superman" was a nice guy, although I'm not sure if I believe his claim about being that actress' son, especially since her entire family denies it. I think he may be delusional. The ultimate irony is that his wife is a psychiatrist, which only tells me psychiatry isn't about helping people to better themselves as much as it is about making people feel good about themselves, regardless of what they do. He seems harmless though."Wonder Woman" seems like the typical small town pretty girl. I'm sure all her life she was treated better than most in that little town simply because she is pretty, so what's the next logical step? Hollywood! But this girl has a lot of growing up to do. Hopefully she'll date someone longer than 2 weeks before she marries again. She also seemed pretty elitist in how she talked about her home town. I thought the dichotomy in her and her mother's explanation for leaving was humorous, in a sadistic way.Now we come to the crown jewel- nanananananananananana "Batman"! This dude is a scumbag, at least that's how they made him out. Pathological/habitual liar ftw! He wants people to think he was Special Forces and a black belt in several forms of martial arts. He then goes to some karate class and he can't keep up with BASIC stances or turns that a child can do on their first day. I mean, he does EVERY move wrong, and I'm talking about STANCES and TURNS, not even sparring. He also likes to talk about something he doesn't like to talk about (big indication he's a liar)- that he has a "body count." The moron brings his fantasy to a shrink who asks the begged for question- "Is this a confession?" To which he responds with nervous laughter. The best part was when the shrink says, "Were you arrested?" and he says, "UNFORTUNATELY, no." UNFORTUNATELY???!!! The shrink says, "There's no statute of limitations on murder" and then he gives some BS explanation about how "there's nothing" to connect him to it because it was in the '80's, and we all know that in the '80's you could get rid of evidence whereas "you can't do that now." Riiight. Another comedic gem is the News footage they show of his confrontation that leads to his arrest. His flamboyant "line in the sand" had me laughing out loud and I had to rewind and watch it again.All in all, if you're interested in seeing people suffering from different psychoses then this will definitely interest you. The "Hulk" seemed to be the only grounded individual and I wish him well in his movie career. To the others I say, good luck because they're definitely going to need it (although "Wonder Woman" could probably have a lucrative porn career...)

Adam Donaghey Confessions of a Superhero, directed by Matt Ogens, documents four celebrity or, in this case, comic-book character, impersonators, who work everyday on Hollywood Boulevard, in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, meeting tourists and taking pictures with them. Interpolated with amazing stills, the documentary is well put together and really shows the depressing struggle for famedom.The characters go out everyday, hoping to make ends meet by accepting tips in exchange for taking pictures with tourists; and, at the same time, work constantly, striving for a breakthrough in the film industry. All of the characters seem to have a certain sense of humor with regards to themselves and their careers--or lack thereof. And yet they are still driven, and find import in what they do on a daily basis. The film chronicles the daily activities of these four characters; we see them getting dressed to hit the boulevard, visiting their therapists and in their personal relationships. We see that the real heroes are not really the costumes at all--but the people inside. Following is those people inside the costumes.Superman, played by Christopher Lloyd Dennis, is the veteran of the group. Doing this for over thirteen years, he's respected by many of the character actors, the locals, and apparently the authorities (he's never had a complaint, to date). Throughout the film, he forces me to like him: he's very warm-hearted, seemingly selfless and humble. We see him propose to his current wife (obviously, she says "yes") and she's so in love with him and charmed by him, the viewer can't help but fall in love as well. Dennis will admit himself that he's obsessed with Superman--he's got a collection any fanboy would drool over (he boasts spending over $90,000). He drinks out of the milk carton and always has a cigarette in his mouth--unless he's working, or in costume out of his house. What kind of message would that send? Sure, Dennis has a few quarks, but so did Clark Kent (of which he reminds me a great deal). But if anyone's gonna portray Superman, and put that costume on, I'd like to think it'd be Christopher Lloyd Dennis.Wonder Woman, played by Jennifer Gehrt, is the token prom queen from the country. She grew up in middle America, was miss... well, everything, in high school; and probably should have married the popular high school jock and settled down, only to play housewife and pop out kids for the rest of her life, never realizing her true dreams and desires. But instead, she suddenly decides to hop on a plane--with the help of her optimistic mother--and get the hell to Los Angeles. Now she's mostly-happy, recently divorced and hopefully energetic about the future. Sure, she holds her belt up with paperclips and says things like "a doctor may save your life, but will you remember him?" but all-in-all, she's a likable character, who has a lot of fun with her character and is driven to succeed. I wish her the best of luck and by the way, I'd be her Wonder Man any day.Batman, played by Maxwell Allen, opens up quite a bit during the documentary. He shares with us what he shares with his psychiatrist (in costume of course): his violent past. Part curiously creepy and part wishful thinking, Allen's death dealings may all be a kind of fiction; but that makes him all the more intriguing. Why choose Batman? Well, the man looks a great deal like George Clooney--in fact, he was actually a stand-in for him in Batman Forever. Apparently a black belt in several Karate styles--though, you can't tell in the film--Allen's somewhat of a dangerous guy. A quick Google search will prove, at least in part, his shady dealings on the Boulevard. He's heckled many tourists and never hesitates to remind them that he "works for tips!" But despite his many faults, he really does look like Batman. And that's really all that matters--just make sure you tip him, damnit! The Incredible Hulk, played by Joe McQueen, sold his Super Nintendo so he could afford to catch a train out to L.A.; only to arrive just after the Rodney King riots. He played it smart and headed for the Hollywood Hills, he says, thus living a homeless existence for quite a number of years. In the film, McQueen goes back to his sleeping spot and reminisces briefly about being homeless for several years. He really is the kind of guy who's been knocked down so many times, he has no where else to go but back up. And he'll fight for it, until he makes it. The Hulk and I shared a few words the night prior to the opening and what really touched me about his character was what happened after the film. I walked up to shake both his and Superman's hand, and as I shook his hand I reminded him of our meeting. With tears in his eyes, he nodded his head, assuring me he remembered me and thanking me profusely for attending the screening. That sort of genuine humanity should be the earmark of what makes a person successful. Unfortunately, Hollywood may not be ready for someone that real.A lot of people say these guys are nothing more than "costumed panhandlers." I agree with the first part: they are costumed. Costumed superheros.
