After watching the trailer I thought this was going to be the typical crap with all the cool shots in the trailer. The second statement is true. The first one isn't.I'm a regular rater and this is probably my first review. I feel the urge to write a positive review because this is the first time I've seen something different in a while. And it's also an independent production. It needs to be known. Superbob rocks.This is what Hancock wished to be. This movie has a real plot and real characters. For punches watch a DC/Marvel one. For story watch this. It's a simple one, very heartfelt and enjoyable.

You've seen South-East London in Attack the Block. Now see it again in this very funny take on 'what if superheroes were real' with excellent performances from Brett Goldstein, Natalia Tena and Catherine Tate.Bob is a postman who gets struck by a meteorite. This gives him superpowers. Unfortunately, being in Britain, he gets stuck in a world of forms and civil servants.Even more unfortunately, having superpowers doesn't make him a cool person, so if he's not off saving the world, he's struggling to do the normal things like the rest of us, things like putting up with his Mum, going on a date, etc.

Hilariously British comedy. Endearing normal characters, Super Bob is the plucky Peckham underdog. Amazing 'awkwardness' of true Brits works perfectly inside a documentary style film (same as The Office was genius)(lots of improv is gold dust) and above all a heartwarming story. You'll root for bob and leave the cinema uplifted, but gutted you cant fly too! Wonderfully shot by Jon Drever and superbly written- Superbob actor Brett co-wrote it! Very funny, feel good, highly recommended. Loved itGood bye#WhamBar

Hanging Out With a Superhero...Yesterday I attended the World Premiere of SuperBob at the BFI.Wow!Mark Kermode, the film critic, has a '5 laugh rule' for a 90 minute movie. SuperBob smashed this within the first 10 minutes. It was very, very funny. SuperBob won the 'Discovery Award' at the LOCO Film Festival - watch it and you'll understand why.This is a real 'feel good' movie, a warm romantic comedy with SuperBob's romantic interests beautifully played by Natalia Tena and Laura Haddock.So, congratulations to the director, Jon Drever, and the lead and co-writer, Brett Goldstein, on an amazing achievement and I urge everyone to see this movie at the earliest opportunity.Hilarious! Go and see it!
