Super – review

The only thing 'super' about this comedy are the end credits, writes Jason Solomons

This disastrously unfunny superhero spoof features a grating performance from Juno star Ellen Page, a vapid leading man in Rainn Wilson and an idiotic mix of humour and violence.

Wilson plays a loser (yawn), dumped by his wife (Liv Tyler – we see her so rarely these days and she chooses this for a comeback?) for a minor drug baron (Bacon). Wilson meets a comic book nerd (Page) and becomes "The Crimson Bolt", telling crime to "Shut Up". Back at you, Super, back at you.
