His only current job is a promotional gig posing as Captain Avenger, a big screen superhero.
Partially, this may have to do with the portrayal of our hero.
Steve is not deranged like other protagonists hes just incredibly earnest and naive.
Ultimately,Hero At Largeneeded more bite a deficiency later films would seek to remedy.
Average joe David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is the lone survivor of a train disaster.
Enough words have already been written on this movie, so Ill keep this one brief.
After he has a bad reaction to the medication, he begins to believe that he has gained superpowers.
Specialis an odd beast it has an intriguing premise, but it never feels like a feature.
Even at a trim 81 minutes, the film feels padded out.
The story is more of a series of set pieces then a fully developed narrative.
The tone does not help.
This film is incredibly dark but one-note.
The veteran character actor takes this film on his shoulders and elevates every second he is onscreen.
Rapaport is so good, it only highlights how half-baked the rest of the film is.
Or is it a character study?
Robbins plays petty vigilante The Rectifier, who seeks to rid NYC of noise pollution by sabotaging car alarms.
Ultimately,Noisefeels like a couple different ideas for films stapled together.
The biggest strike againstDefendormay ultimately be its marketing, which pitches it as a dark comedy.
The film is more gentle than that this is a film about a man struggling with mental illness.
There are a few laughs, but the film does not attempt to make fun of Defendor/Arthur.
However, the film as a whole, does not quite reach the same level.
As withUnbreakable, I will keep this one brief.
I will also have to be honest.
When this movie first came out, I thought it was amazing.
He just wants to be a somebody, rather than the wallflower he actually is.
The main reason is Kick-Ass himself as an emotional anchor he is a black hole.
Secretly, this might be my favourite on the list.
Objectively, it is pretty shaggy (why havent the cops caught this guy?
), butSuperpacks a gonzo energy and vitality that makes up for its occasional misfires.
In a movie filled with dangerous characters, Libby is the most terrifying.
The fact that she is also incredibly incompetent only makes her scarier.
And thats not even the worst part of her character.
The rest of the cast are terrific.
Supermay be James Gunns most emotionally naked film.
No matter how crazy it gets, Franks journey toward redemption somehow manages to feel achingly real.
No question,Superis a polarising film.
It is scenes like this one which really blunt the movies impact.
There are many points where it feels like half the important scenes are missing.
Ultimately,Boy Wonderis a good-looking but underwhelming hodgepodge of ideas.
