An interesting subject presented pretty nicely. I would have enjoyed hearing more anecdotes from the heroes, but as it stands, this doc covered all its bases rather well. Made me chuckle, then feel embarassed with a dash of concern, and at times a bit warm and fuzzy. These people may be unorthodox, but at least they're trying to make a difference. That makes them all better than me at least...

'Superheroes' seems to want to be an objective look into the lives of people who wear capes and "fight crime" in the night. Yet, it always seems to leave the camera running those extra few moments to see something that has you leaning to the side of "these people are crazy". They try to redeem it by showing that these people do indeed have good qualities and actually put a lot of time in for homeless people specifically. Still, I can't help but feel like they are using that as a comparison.

Its hard not to pity the majority of the heroes, but the ones that make a difference are fairly interesting.

I think it's a common reaction for people to think these people are weird, and I feel the movie tackles this well. The main theme is what you'd expect (superheroes saving the world), but it does it in a good way, with a nice narrative. A lot of them have had some troubled past, and this is brought together with a theme of the time the woman was wronged and nobody helped her (I forget her name). They are scoffed by some, embraced by others. Either way they're trying and often do help.

Quite well made documentary to be honest. It really does take you through a constructed narrative. Initially all the "Superheroes" seem like odd balls, which is to be expected, but gradually you begin to feel some empathy for them. Many have been through a traumatic experience and you pity them. Towards the end you discover that, to some, they genuinely make a tremendous difference and could indeed be considered heroes.
