Caped crusaders are big in movies, and they're also found in reality, as this documentary shows. Interviewees include several self-proclaimed real-life superheroes, like "Zimmer," a gay superhero from Brooklyn, N.Y.; "Mr. Xtreme" and "The Vigilante Spider," who sometimes team up in San Diego; and "Master Legend," who lives in Orlando, Fla., and has an otherwise typical life with his girlfriend. Some take themselves seriously, others don't. But all want to help humanity in their own way.

A downright annoying and excruciating documentary... Go to Full Review

3/5
Humorous and well-rounded. More about the problems of the world ... that lead to the necessity for these [superheroes] to pop up in cities across the nation. Go to Full Review

4/5
Biased but fun, Mike Barnett's sympathy towards his subjects lends itself to a goofy, funny and terribly uplifting call to arms. Go to Full Review
