Everyone loves a superhero. Except, of course, for the supervillains. And maybe all the people who live in the many, many houses that superheroes destroy on a regular basis. But who would fight all the aliens and metahumans if we had no superheroes?
There are a million graphic novels, books, and movies that you can use to celebrate this important holiday. Here are two movies I would like to share with you in honor of National Superhero Day.
Joe really needs a job, so he answers an ad in the paper for a superhero. He gets the job and now this average Joe is on a superhero team.
How does a man with no super powers fight a supervillain? Well, it's not easy. But Joe really needs this job so he will give it his best try. This movie probably didn't have a very big budget. Some of the costumes are not the best and I don't think they had a big camera or special effects crew. But the plot is fun. And (although often goofy) the writing was clever. It's a fun movie about an average guy stepping up and fighting against the odds. If you don't go in expecting blockbuster special effects and huge movie stars you will be truly entertained.
A group of super powered, immortal beings, the Eternals, are sent to Earth to protect it from the Deviants.
This movie felt a lot longer than it was. Which is never a good sign. There is a lot of fighting and then big, long scenes where things are explained but there is not much interesting in-between. You never feel as if you know these characters so it is hard to care about their lives. There are a lot of things going on at the same time and it makes the story feel disjointed at times. It just plods along to what turns out to be a lackluster finish. I can't say I wasn't entertained at times and if the hinted at sequel comes out I will watch it. But after this one I don't care if one ever does.
