Bereamic Awesome Movie
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Leofwine_draca ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE is an indie superhero flick with a novel premise and terrible execution. I'd best describe it as DEATH TUBE meets KICK-ASS, although if you're looking for a good, wacky take on this now-popular genre, I'd go for SUPER instead. A bunch of costumed superheroes are kidnapped and held by an evil mastermind, played by genre old-timer James Remar. They're forced into playing various deadly games, but the film takes a cheap, psychological approach, which means that very little happens. Inevitably this is too slow and stilted to succeed.
themoviemancometh I am not sure why so many people are posting negative reviews about All Superheroes Must Die. Making a movie is not easy, especially when you don't have a budget. So I commend Jason Trost and everyone involved with this movie. All SuperHeroes Must Die is by any means not a great movie. In Fact it is mediocre at best. however with that being said, it definitely isn't a bad movie as many of these 1 reviews state. Of course film is subjective, the film is a serviceable take on the superhero genre without any money. Sure it has it's problems, but what film doesn't? I recommend this movie on the simple fact that it did what it was suppose to do, Entertain me. After all isn' that why we watch movies?
Jonathon Natsis What looks like a fascinating concept on paper is executed in villainously poor fashion in All Superheroes Must Die, a micro-budget thriller that twists almost every convention of the oversaturated genre, but is drastically let down by innumerable plot holes, a jagged script and empty performances all round. Sick to death of playing the speed bump to the good guys and their well-meaning plans, supervillian Rickshaw (James Remar) has knocked out and stolen the powers of Charge (Jason Trost), Shadow (Sophie Merkley), Cutthroat (X-Men First Class' Lucas Till) and The Wall (Lee Valmassy), the town's four resident superheroes. Meanwhile, he has rigged several town landmarks – and many more innocent civilians – to explosives, meaning the heroes have no choice but to play by his wicked rules.Directed and written by lead actor Trost, the film can never seem to decide between being a serious look at the sacrifices made to be a hero, or a tongue-in-cheek satire of the suspension of disbelief required by the genre. It constantly flexes between sharp, intimate flashbacks showing the closeness of the group before becoming superheroes, and incredulously over-the- top delivery from Remar and Sean Whalen – as side villain Manpower – none of which hit their mark.The rest of All Superheroes Must Die is a mish-mash of unexplained plot points and unprovoked character turns. The story jumps regularly, giving the impression that a short shoot forced pages to be ripped out of the script at will. And while some films of this nature do a fantastic job of stretching the production value, Superheroes looks every bit like a low budget cellar dweller, doing little to mitigate a collection of lacklustre individual parts, forming an utterly forgettable shell of an intriguing idea. *There's nothing I love more than a bit of feedback, good or bad. So drop me a line on [email protected] and let me know what you thought of my review. If you're looking for a writer for your movie website or other publication, I'd also love to hear from you.*
Bully_FU The plot, characters, and acting are terrible. I have seen plenty of bad movies and I can enjoy most for one reason or another but I can't find anything redeemable about this film, at all. It barely even deserves to be a called a film. The camera work is shoddy at best so you are stuck watching a mix of "shaky cam" poor angles. I think the bad angles and shaky cam were purposely used so you would question whether or not a particular character was portrayed by an actor you're familiar with. I don't think there are any special effects in this movie which isn't a bad thing for a regular movie but for superhero movie they are a necessity. I don't just mean CGI either, I mean makeup effects, squibs, anything. What does that tell you though, a comic book/superhero movie with zero practical or computer effects? The answer to that should be avoid at all costs. If all that wasn't bad enough the script is terrible. I'd be surprised to learn that a script was actually present on set at any given time and this wasn't just made up as they went along. It lacks a sensible ending as well. The ending just sets up a scene and more nonsensical story, the town is supposed to blow up and then roll credits. They couldn't afford to blow a miniature or make a bad CGI shot so they just rolled credits instead. I would write a review in more detail but it is painful to try and dig up the memories of watching this filth. Also this movie was so awful and low budget I would not be surprised to find out that they would take blurbs from an IMDb review to put on it's DVD box.
