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.

Tss5078 This film has one of the most original plots I've seen in a long time, however this film was panned by critics. After seeing All Superheroes Must Die, I really can't understand why it has one of the lowest IMDb ratings I've ever seen. It's nowhere near as good as it could have been, but it's certainly not as bad as most critics are making it out to be. Four superheroes wake up in an abandon town with their powers gone. Near them are TV sets, which explain that they have been captured by their arch-enemy, Rickshaw, and will be forced to play a game, in order to save the towns residence. The story is extremely original, but what I liked most about it was that the characters weren't over the top. The "superheroes" are actually normal twenty-somethings, who got powers from an object that fell from the sky. They are drinking, swearing, seemingly normal people, who were put into this impossible situation by a madman. Rickshaw is played by veteran character actor, James Remar, who was terrific. Parts of the film are slow and when things do slow down, Rickshaw, as clever as he is funny, is there to move things along. Jason Trost is the lead superhero, Charge, and he did a lot more than star in this thing, he wrote, produced, and directed it, which is a hard thing to do, especially for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience. The one knock I have against this film is that due to their small budget and independent status, much of the action scenes were very short. The challenges were clever, but by the time you understood what was going to happen, it was over. The film itself is very short, which doesn't allow them to go deeply into anything and that's what I think most people disliked about the film. It's not that this was a bad movie, it's that it really could have been a whole lot more.

peter_pan425 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.

poyrazbaklan 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.
