All Superheroes Must Die

As low-budget superhero movies go All Superheroes Must Die is a pretty good effort. The characters are engaging, the acting is mostly good and the sets have some substance compared to the abandoned quarry you usually get when money is tight.

The plot is quite mysterious, from the opening where we meet the main characters, to the end where we... finish. Nothing is given away too soon, and many things aren't given away at all; leaving plenty for the viewer to wonder about during and after the movie.

There are a couple of slips into cliche, and some dodgy dialogue, but all-in-all my complains are very minor.

Well done to everyone involved in making this movie. It looks like a close-knit crew from the credits. I hope they had fun making it. I enjoyed it much more than many of the multi-million dollar hero flicks that are trotted out as so-called blockbusters.
