I found none of the characters likable whatsoever.<br /><br />It seemed like it would be so good after the first half, but the moment Crimson Bolt clubbed a man and his (I assume) girlfriend for cutting in line, it went downhill from there. It got even worse when Libby became Frank's sidekick; she was more of a villain than the antagonists of this film. When she died, my only thought was, "Good for her!" She was one of the most annoying, despicable characters I've recently seen in a film. How was I supposed to care for a character who laughed at people's internal bleeding, committed violence against people out of boredom, and forcefully raped a married man?<br /><br />The only character I thought had any shred of intelligence was, ironically, Jacques. He was willing to return his wife to Frank, and personally, I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to keep around a cheating wife who did drugs, either. (She later leaves Frank, anyway, so everything he went for was a waste.) But then this character was squandered during the final moment of the film, where he makes the incredibly stupid mistake that made him seem like he was BEGGING for C.B. to kill him. It felt more forced than natural, like he was doing it because the script said so rather than he wanted to.<br /><br />I haven't seen Defendor, but from the three of these four films mentioned, I would place Super below even Kick-Ass. Special blows both of them out of the water, though.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246097077404502960noreply@blogger.com
