All Superheroes Must Die (2011) Online

This movie is absolutely abysmal. OK, I get that it's made with a limited time, on a limited budget, but at a certain point, you need to consider if you can still make the movie you're trying to make. I understand that the costumier had to leave early, so maybe consider whether you can still make a movie with costumed superheroes who have their powers taken away. Because if you take their powers away, and *spoiler* don't have them get them back in the final minute (Hey, that would have made a more interesting ending, huh?) then what you have is just people in costumes. If those costumes look like someone put underwear on their head, maybe consider making a different film. Amateur costumes can look good, but if you're lacking money, you need to put in time and skill to make up for it. You need to cover over the bad parts and accentuate the good. If, for example, the scene has someone bleeding to death from a stab wound, and someone is asked to go get a bandage, and that actor decides to saunter off with less urgency than I would go to make a cup of tea, then maybe as a director, it's time to offer a bit of direction. Like for example, "You're supposed to be the guy who's superpower was, up until now, super speed. RUN!" If I had super speed and lost it, I'd find it agonising that it took so long to get anywhere. In a race against time I wouldn't take such an agonisingly long time to do every single thing. Like the first round, where you have a 95 second fuse. From the moment they're told it's lit, they literally stand there for 52 seconds! I thought you were in a hurry to make this film? Maybe make a dash for the fuse, and the time you just saved filming that could have been more usefully spent? Like for example the guy you're fighting, Sledgesaw, could had had, for example, a saw of some kind? So his name makes sense? Rather than being dressed as a circus strongman from the fifties? Also, I presume you didn't show anyone's superpower due to budget, but surely you could have shown superspeed? Perhaps mix the powers up and have Shadow's being superspeed? Have the injection wear off at the last minute, film her carrying Charge away, speed up the film, and you've got a much improved ending. But that's the real issue. If you have to cut stuff while you're filming, you've not looked at how what you have left hangs together. If you've worked out a budget to start, and cut the parts you can't do, you can make what you have work better. You could barely forgive that rickshaw doesn't have a costume. James Remar can more or less carry those bits. Even Shadow doesn't have a costume so much as a hairstyle. In short, the film lacks polish. It lacks money. But it doesn't make up for those things with time, skill or ingenuity. It didn't have time to do things better with what it had, and due to the last minute hacked up script, it then lost any benefit it might have had from plot, writing or directing. But... surely they knew what the budget was? They had $20,000, so why not cut those extra scenes from the start and get the film to work with the funding they had?

Four heroes find themselves abducted by their arch-nemesis and are forced to compete in a series of challenges in order to save an abandoned town full of kidnapped innocent civilians.

Let me start by saying I love "The FP" and consider it a work of genius. Well-acted, well-scripted, well-shot, funny and so on. A truly great film. And I think we can learn something about filmmaking by comparing that film with this one, another Jason Trost joint.

With "The FP", a short was made. I assume this was used as a fund-raiser to get the full picture done right. That was a great idea and it worked. Here, we have what was a thrown together film -- if what the trivia on IMDb says is true, it was written in four days, shot in two weeks, there was no budget and time constraints meant the script had to be cut on the fly.

That is no way to make a movie. You do not necessarily need a budget, but you need to know what you are capable of and work with it. Here, we can tell it was rushed. The acting is only average, some of the lines seem out of place... and it just was not clever on the level of "FP". Another script revision or two, an extra day of shooting or two, it might have been worlds different.

Before judging this film too harshly, remember it was made on a tiny budget and in a handful of days. It's basically a glorified student film, and if I were marking it, I'd give it an A. It's an interesting concept and the acting, while mediocre, shows promise, especially that of Jason Trost and Sophie Merkley. There's an awesome scene where the bitchy journalist guy from "Never Been Kissed" is dressed up as Uncle Sam and is armed with a flamethrower. It's worth a watch if only for that scene. James Remar is pretty good I guess, although it's hard to tell when he's basically a cackling, moustache-twirling level of villain. But in any case, this movie is a solid effort from writer/director Jason Trost. I'm looking forward to seeing what he offers to the genre world in coming years.

Not much to say about this movie apart from the fact that it was crap and a waste of my time! First of all, its about some so called "superheroes" that don't have any powers (yes its to do with the story), second of all the story isn't that great either to the point where I couldn't wait for this tripe to be over, thirdly it had Nick Principe (Chromeskull) and James Remar (Dexters father) in it for reasons I do not understand. I can only think that they owed somebody a favor, because it can't have been for the love of the script! It is NOT a horror movie as some web sites have made it out to be, in fact I'm not even sure that it would be classed as a Thriller. I feel like I wasted 75 minutes of my life watching it, and I want it back damn you! Anyway, I can only give this film a 1 out of 10. Save your time and money!

I would really like someone to explain to me how The Avengers, a film as generic as they come, gets praised as one of the best films of all time whereas a film like this that pushes the boundaries of film and focuses on the human characters rather than a bunch of gorillas with powers gets so many reviews hating on it. I'm not one of those to go easy on a film because it has a low budget, I either like a film or I don't. And I really liked this one.

Our 4 superheroes are kidnapped and stripped of their powers by Jokeresque villain Rickshaw and forced through a series of 'games' designed to crush their spirits and kill them. Not only is this very entertaining, especially listening to Rickshaw's monologues which never get old, it also packs more emotion into its short 70 minute run time than The Avengers was able to pack in nearly 3 hours (if it isn't obvious already, I found The Avengers to be overrated though by no means bad). It's the sense of hopelessness and dread that maintains your attention and morbid curiosity as you come to realise that these games are played by Rickshaw's rules and aren't designed to be won. If what I've said here interests you in the slightest then I advise you watch this film.

The acting is generally very good with special mention needed to James Remar and Lucas Till who played their characters brilliantly. There were no real clichés as all of the characters felt like human people rather than superhuman stereotypes like you get in many superhero films. I would even go so far as to say this isn't really a superhero film, the world feels real and gritty and even the costumes look home-made. Clearly there was a very small budget for this film but it only shows in the occasional action scene in which there are no computer generated effects. For the most part it allows the film to maintain its very real gritty look but at times it does become noticeable. But given the constraints on this film, I believe it is forgivable and there are no film-breaking moments in my opinion.

It was a real shame this film was so short as I would loved to have explored the characters deeper but thankfully this also means the film doesn't outstay its welcome and it generally feels tight and well-paced. For this though there should certainly be a price drop but that is hardly a fault of the film.

I tip my hat to Jason Trost and look forward to seeing what else he can do with a larger budget and more time, I wish I could make movies like he can. The film is by no means perfect, but it captures a true humanity that many superhero films skip over (with the exception of Watchmen). If you don't need CGI and big explosions to have fun and appreciate small scale films with superb acting then see this film and you'll quickly be intrigued and drawn into this dark world full of pain, suffering and death.

After watching the trailer for the film this strangely caught my curiosity. I read a review online suggesting that I checked it out, giving it all sorts of praises. This was the first and probably only time that I've ever gotten angry at a review.

I swear to Christ, this was the absolute WORST movie that I've ever seen in my entire life. It is worse than The Room, Plan 9 from outerspace, or even trolls 2. At least those three films were humorous so while indirectly, it had an appeal. A reason to watch them, and a reason to enjoy watching them.

The director had absolutely no idea what he was doing. The character development was so bad that if a character died I might have actually gained a slight amount of excitement because that means the story is one step closer to ending.

The director apparently constantly tore pages of the script due to budget concerns. This needed to have been dealt with BEFORE shooting. A script needs to go through AT LEAST four drafts. Many of which need to be rewritten for story purposes, fixing mistakes(not necessarily grammatical, but relationships, dialogues, and characters themselves) and the last few drafts being edited for budget concerns.

A certain aspect of filmmaking is about compromise. Compromising with what you have, and if you don't have a big budget then for the love of God, please don't try to act like your story is bigger than what it was. I seriously cannot understand the appeal for films like this. I've often seen people online saying how they enjoy superhero movies, especially the much smaller low-budget ones.

Go watch the 2010 James Gunn film Super starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page. That's a low-budget superhero film done right. 2009's Defendor. Anohter low-budget superhero film done right. These such films are movies that didn't try to be anything else other than what it was. The cast worked with what they had, and the directors knew the art of filmmaking well enough to at least make a halfway decent film.

The premise seems slightly creative, the first scene seemed like it would be promising but it just fell flat as if the director went "Y'know what, **** it. Let's just make up new obstacles. The first idea is put into the movie" I mean the "creativity" of this so called "mastermind" villain was so poorly done that I actually lost complete interest for any kind of unique "traps" the heroes could face.

Were these people ever truly superheroes? Because they did their job pretty badly. The "shocking"(and I say shocking in quotations out of pure sarcasm) revelation about one of the characters just makes the viewer feel annoyed or even frustrated.

This film is directed, starred, and produced by the same person. He clearly had no freaking idea what he was doing and was completely in over his head. This film is among the ranks of student films and fan films on YouTube. The fact that it even got anywhere is astounding. The fact that people actually like this is even more astounding. If you're thinking of seeing this movie, you should probably just watch a bunch of little kids playing "Superhero" because it's probably a lot more entertaining and creative than this piece of trash.

With the success of super heroes in theaters it comes as no surprise that filmmakers are starting to churn out their own variations on the genre. The biggest issue is that without the recognition, most of these films just can't capture and audience. Filmmaker Jason Trost, who delivered the insanely fun The FP has thrown his own vision into the super hero genre with All Superheroes Must Die. With The FP showed he could think outside the box and deliver something different that still works, but can he score the same with his superhero vision?

All Super Heroes Must Die follows four super heroes who find themselves abducted by their Arch Nemesis and forced to compete in a series of challenges to save kidnapped innocent civilians. This movie not only works it takes the genre in a whole new direction. Imagine super heroes and throw them into the world of SAW and you have this film. The film is dark and gritty and plays up the torment as opposed to the super heroics giving it more of a punch than you would have thought. The costumes feel more like what real people would have put together if they became costumed heroes, all without coming across to silly. The inner dilemmas of the characters add to the already insane struggles they have to deal with causing their tasks to be that much harder to complete. The performances are pretty good for the most part, with only a few moments here and there that are a bit off. James Remar as the mastermind behind the torment eats of the screen playing this character way over the top, yet perfectly fits this world and his character.

This is one of the better attempts at this genre thinking outside the box to create a fun unique film. The mix of the genres really adds to the over concept to create a must see for anyone a fan of either genre. Horror fans, be on the lookout for Chromeskull himself Nick Principe in a villainous role as a part of a memorable fight scene. Trost is really doing a great job with these films and will no doubt be an up and coming force to be reckoned with and can't wait to see what he delivers next.

All Superheroes Must Die (AKA Vs) is a very low budget superhero drama directed by Jason Trost. The Premise is a villain (Rickshaw) played by James Remar somehow has removed the powers of 4 superheroes.He then forces them to attempt to save people he has put in harms way using teamwork and their own guile. They have to also fight other villains who still have their powers. This is an OK low budget film. The acting is average with the exception of James Remar who is actually good as the villain. He only appears via a video feed. I Could not get over the feeling this was like a poor mans Watchmen with a Joker type villain thrown in or the superhero version of SAW. Choreography is slightly below average and there are no CGI scenes. Movie is completely character driven with a few action sequences thrown in. Not for the typical superhero crowd but an OK low budget effort for the comic book reader population

Its a low budget, independent film, so do not go into this film thinking you're going to see a mainstream action comic-book hero type blockbuster.

Had some interesting ideas that begin to galvanize but ultimately end up deflating due to some obvious plot holes and inconsistencies.

For example, it was a great idea of having the protagonist "pretend" to have powers...but then it should be obvious to people around him all the time that he doesn't in fact have superhero strength. Additionally it was strange and inconsistent when The Wall commented on Charge's super strength handshake.

Another example, it had some great psychological scenes that really made you question your ethics, but then the villain was overcome by Charge drawing lines on a map in the most childish pattern imaginable to find the villain. Basically, one man was able to kidnap 100 civilians, 4 superheroes, and rig up this elaborate booby-trap town...but couldn't do better than a simple one way camera or hiding out in the most obvious place (In the middle of everything).

I love the dark feel of the film that was not like your typical "super hero" movie. It seems that some of the critics of this film didn't understand it. Anyone who was a fan of "watchmen" would enjoy and understand this picture.

These characters were not over the top and exaggerated, they were portrayed as real/average people that happen to have super hero problems. This isn't a story that is tied up in a nice little bow at the end, where most Hollywood movies do. This is an edgy story that mirrors the unfortunate reality of actual life. The acting was solid, the directing was clean, and the writing was creative.

Maybe I am guilty of understanding what it really takes to make a film happen, and understand the constraints of time, schedules, and how filmmakers have to often make hard decisions on the fly to make something as big as a film happen.

I still say good job, and I look forward to more.

Well, before watching this i had an underlying suspicion that it may be terrible. But as i do with every film i greet it with a sense of optimism. I will start by saying that the storyline had the potential to be great. A really interesting and unique viewpoint from the Villain and the "superheroes". Unfortunately this film falls flat on it's face, in fact it falls and the face implodes. I won't go into what happens and i won't try to deter people from watching it but i can say one thing. You know that feeling when you go to see a superhero film, like Batman, Superman, Spiderman etc and you come out wishing you had those powers, and you think about what you would do, and it leads you to ask what superpower you would love to have, and then you ask your friend, and you have a whole conversation on your enthusiasm to be a superhero? Well after watching this i am happy as a civilian.

If you can't AFFORD to make a movie, please don't. There was a promising premise to this film, but it died along with my hope as the movie progressed. I understand low budget film-making isn't effects driven, which is fine... but when the acting is terrible as well... The characters were not likable, the dialogue was stilted and there was zero emotional involvement. It's all over the place, and it expects you to follow. *SPOILER* In the beginning, one of the heroes cringes from a handshake from the "strong" superhero, stating "you still have your powers." Later in the film, we are told this character never HAD super strength, he just worked out a lot. HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THE STRONGEST PERSON IN THE FILM! There's a supposed love triangle, but one of the points dies quickly, making me wonder why it was even introduced. There's an entire town, and they're given 5 minutes to get from place to place, the "villain" is found quickly and easily, puts up virtually no fight, and I didn't care about any of the supposed tension in this film. I read that there was talk of a sequel. Don't bother. Of the 15 people that saw this one, I think you may have offended every one of us.

Great concept and execution by an up-and-coming independent filmmaker. There are moments where the pace could have been a tad tighter, but it didn't at all take away from the unique and intense impact this film offers. Fans of independent film looking for an entertaining alternative to the Hollywood formula need look no further. I look forward to seeing more of Mr. Trost's work. What else can I say? I'm glad I spent my 6.99 to see it. I could write about the plot or whatever, but honestly would that convince you? Keep in mind it's a very low budget film, and I'm not one those cats who thinks low budget= GREATEST FILM EVER!!!! You can see they worked with they had, and the film makers took pride in the film. I felt it was worth my time and cash.

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.

When a movie is small budget, it doesn't automatically make it bad, on the contrary I have seen a lot of movies which were fairly successful in their own ways no matter what they cost the filmmakers. It just takes a fair amount of creativity,imagination and quick thinking that usually overcomes the obstructions it brings. Unfortunately these are the skills the director lacks here. The idea is fairly good. Four heroes, stripped of their powers, must play a deadly game in a town under siege by a maniacal man, played by James Remar no less. Think of Saw meets the Avengers, I heard. The end result is far, far from what I had hoped though. The heroes origins are never explained, instead using some flashbacks about their past which amount to nothing at all. The director says he made this to trick the viewer into becoming a fish-out-of-water, just like the heroes, but then why are the flashbacks there? Other than Charge, the heroes barely get screen time and the deadly games they play is all the same, just kill one another. There is a small twist near the end about Charge's origins but it really doesn't make a lot of sense. And the plot holes are a plenty. How can he triangulate Rickshaw's signal by just marking the map? Why does the villain have goons in animal costumes? What's with the two villains and the inability to cut a fuse? How come the whole town is rigged with cameras and Rickshaw doesn't see Charge approach him? There are many like this, and the worst is the suddenly- cut-to-black ending, which no wonder will make you disappointed. I really wanted to like this film but viewers need and deserve more, it is commendable to shoot a movie with little money and time. But at least it could have a decent script.

When I saw the box art for "All Superheroes Must Die," the first thing that came to mind was "Watchmen" and "Kick-Ass." The two masked men on the cover reminded me of Ozymandias and Dave Lizewski because of their costumes. I was immediately intrigued when I read the synopsis and found out who directed, wrote, and starred in it.

The name Jason Trost will be known to many quirky film lovers who delighted in "The FP." Who wouldn't want to see another project made by the guy who brought us a movie about an apocalyptic world where people fought to the death playing a sadistic form of "Dance, Dance Revolution?" I could only imagine where he would take the superhero genre with "All Superheroes Must Die."

Four superheroes named Charge (Jason Trost), Cutthroat (Lucas Till), Shadow (Sophie Merkley), and The Wall (Lee Valmassy) wake up in what appears to be an abandoned town. They discover their super powers were taken away by their arch nemesis, Rickshaw (James Remar). The villain puts the heroes through a series of challenges that test both their mental and psychological strengths. They find themselves racing against the clock to save abducted civilians which Rickshaw is using in his insane game.

"All Superheroes Must Die" is a unique, dark, and twisted take on the genre it addresses. It's a little slow at times but delivers some great violent spurts and causes the viewer to think about the questionable actions the characters make throughout the film. The concept of superheroes dealing with saving people without their powers leads to some disturbing outcomes.

I wasn't wrong in my initial comparisons to "Watchmen" and "Kick-Ass" as I perused the cover of the Blu-ray. The homemade costumes and colored language the heroes use heavily resembles the Minutemen and the empathetic characters in "Kick-Ass." Whether they were born with their powers or gained them later in life, these individuals are very "human" at heart.

Everyone in "All Superheroes Must Die" put forth their best effort in their roles. James Remar ("Dexter") portrays the villain Rickshaw with devilish delight. Jason Trost plays Charge successfully as a downtrodden hero who is mentally exhausted by his work. Lucas Till is in familiar territory as Cutthroat, having already starred as Havok in "X-Men: First Class."

Superhero fans of "Watchmen" and "Kick-Ass" will find something to appreciate in "All Super Heroes Must Die." They'll be especially pleased with its foundation in reality and violent sequences which bring to mind the newer "Before Watchmen" stories being told about the different members of the Minutemen. It does get bogged down in dialogue in some spots. One big complaint I have is that it ends abruptly leaving you unsatisfied. However, don't let that keep you from enjoying everything else about it.

I like campy low budget movies so I thought I'd give this a try. However at one scene a lady has a weapon but charges an enemy and throws said weapon aside while doing so. WTF? Any idiot knows to use the weapon and if you're a superhero, and most probably a veteran of some encounters, you would know to take advantage of it. I had to stop it because I hate when any movie makes characters stupid in order to force the story along.

Also, how come someone has super strength one second then doesn't the next? Oh yeah, to force the story along.

The only good thing about this movie is Harry from Dexter as the bad guy.

I just finished the movie, and I must say that I enjoyed it. It's not the greatest movie in the world, by any means, but it kept my interest.

I enjoyed the slow reveal, but I do wish there had been a clearer explanation of their various powers... for example, I never understood what The Wall's abilities were.

If you enjoy character-driven comics, and don't expect "The Avengers" on a $20,000 budget, then you might like it as well. I thought the costumes were well done, and the interaction between the characters was handled very well.

I also think that Lucas Till, as Cutthroat, and Sophie Merkley, as Shadow, could play roles as superheroes in any other movie. They definitely looked the part.

You got to watch this for what it is: a low budget movie with an idea behind it… maybe to get enough money an attention for a bigger BANG. Regardless of not having great acting and some obvious mistakes; this film will keep your attention even though not much your curiosity about the abilities of the characters, why? Because we have seen it all! What a better situation than supers without their powers dealing against an evil mind telling them basically to kill themselves sooner than later. And what about showing them for what they really are, the good guys willing to let the innocent die for a "better" cause. The references to other movies are clear, so what? Great ideas are not particularly original, and between a millionaire movie and Vs. I would give my money to these "superheroes". I am really expecting a sequel or prequel, where we can see their superpowers, particularly "Shadow", because she seems to be the one who basically has nothing to give to the team, and except for "Charge", if you see Vs. You'll know the reason. Overall, watch it and have an open mind but if you are part of the new generation that dislike movies like "killing them softly" you obviously prefer huge explosions and less thinking, then "All the heroes must die" may not be for you. P.S I really like the Uncle Sam criminal.

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.*

This film could have been so much more and showed some promise but ultimately didn't deliver when it counted.

I liked the dirty gritty feel the film tried to deliver but it wasn't consistent flicking between dark and gritty to neon and colourful.

The thing that let the film down for me, other than the cheesy 90's flashbacks, was the appalling acting. It was the acting and choise of cast that really told me that this was a budget/student film. Nobody was believable or convincing in the roles they played.

I'd have to question why this was committed to DVD format rather than just being left online for people to watch for a bet or dare.

I only awarded this film 3/10 because it was marginally better than the other film I watched earlier which only got 2 stars.

Super heroes aren't for everyone. This, however, does not stop film makers from trying. They come in every form now: action, comedy, drama, noir, independent, and so much more. This film is yet another take on the super hero genre; fallen heroes from the start. Each of the four main characters have had their powers suppressed from them with the exception being our leader, Charge, whom according to Cutthroat, the classic wannabe leader sidekick, and Rickshaw, our villain, seems to still have his super strength in tact. This movie is one where full attention is required, even after watching it twice, I have NO idea what one of the hero's power was. The fault is in the concept that you do not see any of the heroes use their powers, not even in flashbacks. You only hear slight references or have to figure it out by their code names: Charge, Cutthroat, Shadow, and The Wall. The movie moves along in rounds, this is sort of like each room entered in the second Saw installment. Each round has bound up victims and the heroes must follow Rickshaw's instructions or the victims will die. It's a setup that's doomed to hurt the heroes' pride and disappoint the audience if they are hoping that the heroes will overcome or regain their powers. There is little action, just violence and lots of dialog. That does not mean that this movie lacks or can not hold attention. Gripping my seat intensely, I often found myself hoping for some miracle for the heroes. Without giving too much away, there is a pretty important twist that ultimately darkens the tone of the movie. This film is not for those with a low attention span or for fans of heroes who crave non stop action. Both titles, "Vs" and "All Superheroes Must Die" are deceiving in the idea that there really is not so much action as there is violence and sadness. The ending is an open end and it may anger viewers who do not like that kind of thing. However, if you're open-minded, there's enough in this film to get a kick out of and to grow attached to. I would love to see this film re-visioned as a comic book series and really, I would love to see more from this universe.

Just. No. That is all i can say. Luckily i rented this flick because i thought " Woah, superhero's being put to the test and actually dying in a 2013 flick? Sounds awesome." Well it absolutely wasn't. Heres what the film throws at you. 4 super hero's wake up in seemingly random locations. Only thing is, they don't even look like super hero's. There costumes look like a Toy's R' us Halloween costume, one they mark down after 2 days. Anyways, they don't explain how they randomly blacked out and woke up injected with something that you find out later that it takes away their powers. After acouple minutes and all heros wake up the Villain on a tiny TV telling them how he has dozens of innocent citizens strapped to explosives and even the ENTIRE TOWN ready to blow up if the heros don't follow his game, because hes tired of losing. The entire town can be apparently entirely crossed on foot in under 5 minutes, and it has no police force apparently. The heros when facing the challenges are just morons, One charges a enemy only to get dirt in his eyes ( which apparently incapacitates him for a unreal amount of time) The other one charges at him and drops their weapon, just to get boot kicked in the gut, and also incapacitated, then the first dude gets 12 inches of knife in his gut. and just no. THIS MOVIE HURT ME EMOTIONALLY. It has horrible acting, one of the weakest plots iv seen in along time, does nothing to make you care about the characters, and even less to make you feel like these people really were super heros in the first place.

I felt compelled to register just to review this "film" This is the lamest film ever. The actors are so bad, its like watching your friends make a lame movie, really its that bad. Plot is ridiculous, actors are terrible, the film has no redeeming qualities. Absolute garbage...... Why do people feel compelled to make movie like this, this is not art, its not entertaining of engaging in any way. These actors are straight out of college drama class. So apparently this review needs to be 10 lines long for me to submit it, so just to recap this film is in an insult to film makers all round the world, its played out and predictable, the actors are terrible the plot is a joke, i feel angry for watching this pathetic movie.

The plot is innovative, but unfortunately the pen is too small. When I watched it, I kept thinking about the four protagonists alluding to the hero. After watching it, I thought it was a rootless duckweed. Story bugs are more, no super-powered person can become a leader, in the case of chest gunshot back... If you are more careful, you can really make a big production. But DC and Marvel don't expect to use Heroic resources like that. People are waiting for the revengers to collect money.
