Rotten
Offers genuine empathy with the put-upon protagonist's longing for justice, yet plays the bloody ramifications for cartoonish fun.

Super just doesn't fly.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
This movie is too pedestrian for camp, and too scattershot for an action comedy.
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
Fresh
"Super" could use the certitude of its hero, but the weapon it wields instead is a scalpel to see what's inside us.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
A sense of style can make up for a lot at the movies. But James Gunn's brutal new comedy-thriller, "Super," succeeds only in demonstrating that without it, you may not have much of anything.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
