A few words from the people who know the worth of Hero's.

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2011)

I am passing this on from a close friend of mine who does not post on boards his reviews and our discussion with others of our trade, Comic Books, Artists,Producers and Writers.
They love this film.
For all the right reasons to. Because this film is more about super heroes and good storytelling than it is about scraping a generations wallets with the exploitation of heroes from their youth. It is a film that helps break down the idea that continuity of storyline matters at all in the world of comic heroes. Which it doesn't.
I am not speaking of anything that happens in this film but in general when I say. So what if the dead spring back to life under dubious circumstances or people who were young at one point are now in the past as adults. Each story is a universe unto itself and these characters are not bound by the expectations of people who do not have the imagination to see what matters in storytelling. So, if you love a good story, well made and refreshingly honest, go see this one.
Even I was skeptical, especially as since I am an editor, I found the original trailer to be one of the most embarrassingly trite representations of a film in this season. All it needed was a Mr Movie Phone Narration and I would have thrown something at the screen.
The Comic Artist who I am speaking of is the voice I am listening to on this film. My pal was the youngest artist ever to be hired as a main artist to Justice League of America in 1987. His career is stellar and he consistently produces some of the finest no holds barred comic storytelling to this day. You don't believe me, fine. But if you don't know the title, Go check out, "The Boys".
The point is that while many of these box office watchers are gauging this film on how it does at the box office. Even more are bashing it for no reason other than, they can.Box Office Mojo should be more responsible for their reviews, as they are in fact not reviews at all. They are business reports, that act as if money is the only factor that makes a film worth viewing. Such a lack of care for what they report itself becomes a factor in how a film does. I would not doubt that the reviewer had not even seen the film reported on by the manner in which it is reported on. The all time worst excuse I have heard so far from BOM, "Where is Wolverine?"
Who cares where wolverine is? He has his own movie, which in many of us who make and love comics opinion, was the worst of all the x-men films hands down.
Just because more people went to Wolverine and were disappointed on the opening weekend than this film has had sit down to watch it in no valid way to to gauge this films value.
Thank you and enjoy the film!!
