ParAviatOrator If you are expecting typical superhero flick laden with special effects, one in which the protagonist is cocksure of himself and knows what to do, says smart one-liners and saves the day... then this isn't the flick you would enjoy... Maybe that's why this one has got such a low score on IMDb. For me, it was a perfectly paced love story, which happens to fall in superhero genre. It's a slower paced rom-com which might not be suitable for everyone's palate. The ending is sweet, and does not preach any message (good over evil etc etc) but is more about finding love, and working up the courage to admit it.While an extremely polite superhero who gets lorded over by everyone, even an old lady might not make you admire him, but the way his politeness earns him goodwill as a dividend in the end makes you reconsider your opinion.All in all, a sweet short movie which deserves much better ratings than it currently holds... and maybe, a sequel.

David Turner I had high hopes for this film and really *wanted* it to be good. But within the first 15 minutes I knew I was in trouble. The storyline is all over the place, the characters are terrible, and it's generally an awkward film to watch.The script reminded me of a high school production. Maybe it was mostly ad-libbed. Or maybe they spent all the budget on Catherine Tate and so couldn't afford a Script Editor. How bad is it? I actually think "Condorman" (1981) is a better film on a similar subject. That's how bad!"SuperBob" is not "Shaun of the Dead". It's not "Monty Python". And it's certainly not "hilarious". But at least it's only 82 minutes long.

DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.9/5 starsThe dull side of being a superhero is sublimely and at times even touchingly explored in this independent British rom-com about Bob, a government-sanctioned caped savior who uses his day off to go out on a date. Adapted from writer/director Jon Drever's terrifically cute and pithy 2009 short film of the same name, this charming and amusing expansion follows meteorically transformed Bob Kenner as he struggles on his real quest of true love while clocking in at UK's Ministry of Defense where his invincible flying powers are in bureaucratic demand.Opting for a low-key approach, "SuperBob" wins you over with a funny script rather than elaborate action scenes. Co-writer/star Brett Goldstein is likable in the lead - a timid everyman overwhelmed by what has happened to him, hilariously bemused as he deals with endless world-saving situations and resentful local residents. Amid the laughs there is also an appealing charm to Bob's clumsy quest for love, as well as some clever satire of the sillier side on world politics, personified by co-star Catherine Tate (most notable as one of "Doctor Who's" companions down the years) as Bob's highly strung government superior. Natalia Tena, Ruth Sheen, and Laura Haddock also provide solidly entertaining support.By keeping the lid on the special effects that would be laughed at by the head honchos of Marvel Studios, and focusing instead on a low- key story of the world's most powerful man on his day off, Jon Drever and Brett Goldstein's movie almost taps into the same reserves of warmth and heart and wicked humor that made one of Britain's best feature films, "Shaun of the Dead", soar to amazing heights (the slightly drab beginning notwithstanding). Drever milks the banality for laughs and unexpected sweetness, playing it to the films strengths - one scene in particular, set in a nursing home, may be the most romantic in a superhero flick since Superman took Lois Lane for a night-time flight around Metropolis. Working within its low budget limitations without ever feeling cheap, "SuperBob" is a light but impressively effective love story blended against the backdrop of some brilliantly subtle satire, offering something uniquely refreshing in the superhero genre where almost everything has been explored.

KineticSeoul A low budget superhero romance movie that is actually endearing and highly watchable. Maybe it's the awkward interactions dealing with a awkward superhero, but I enjoyed watching the characters and the direction of this low budget movie. So the plot is about a postman that gains super powers after getting hit by a meteor. But the thing is, the guy is super socially awkward but a very likable and friendly guy. So the movie is about him dealing with his average daily life despite him being super awkward and having super powers. The thing is, socially awkward people or people that have trouble interacting with someone they really like or people that are a bit of a introvert will probably find the character Bob to be relatable. He is far from being the suave, cool and charming Batman/James Bond type of hero. Despite the awkward comedic elements that is the main driving force of this movie. Where you can have the looks or the money or the most genuine and good intentions, but just has a difficult time with the woman or the man you have a big liking to. If your an audience member that just wants to see some superhero action, you will leave disappointed. They just didn't have the budget for that. But if you want a movie with likable protagonist and endearing awkward humor you might enjoy this one. This movie sort of reminded me of the movie "Hancock" in some ways, but I liked this one more. Despite the limited budget and the very short running time. It's actually a enjoyable independent film that is worth a watch.7.1/10
