Supervized

source: Supervized

Aging superheroes in a nursing home that battle a villain draining them of their superpowers in my opinion also acts as a metaphor for becoming old and obsolete. And as some have mentioned, it's better not to take this too seriously as it is a bit campy. I love how they take jabs at the lack of female superheroes while not being over the top feminist like some other movies that try to drill certain themes into your head incessantly. But mostly it's the chemistry, rapport and witty banter between our heroes that makes this work for me. The costumes are hilarious and the effects remind me of pre-Jurassic Park CGI but so purposefully and perfectly done. Give this a chance it's a thousand times better than a lot of the streaming fare right now (incl one I just spent $20 on named after the largest island lying in the North Atlantic hint hint)

The IMDb rating (5.0 right now) is about right. It is an interesting concept but executed just so-so. This is the concept, a bunch of former super heroes are now in their 70s and retired to a special home in Ireland. They still each have some of their powers but nowhere near when they were in their prime. The script takes the easy way out with body function jokes and similar dialog. The gist is someone wants to steal their remaining fractions of superpowers for nefarious purposes. I can't call this a particularly good movie but as a time-killer from Amazon streaming it has some entertainment value. About the same as watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

This had great potential but i had to stop watching because of the POOR ACTING AND EXTREMLYANNOYINGDELIVERY by the HEADMISTRESS OF THIS old retirement community. THE NO SPACING BETWEEN those words above is done intentionally. I had to stop watching it because of her. I wish you movie directors would take into consideration HOW some of the actors or portrayal of characters COME ACROSS so they dont deter from the story or make the story unwatchable.

Not you're average super hero movie. However, it's got plenty of heart and character. Keeps your interest piqued. Irish influence makes it even more unique.

Don't watch if you're in a serious film mood or mode. This is pure camp. Enjoy it for what it is. Fun seeing the older actors being, ah, silly. They did it well! Could it have been better? Yep. Who and what couldn't? Repeat: It's camp. It's just for fun. Get the popcorn and suspend all belief. Be silly - they certainly are!

Well nice to see these guys in a movie -bad script but hey it is what it is! can tell they must have got a big tax break filming in Ireland. worth a watch dont judge it to harshly

This could've been a great film. It started off alright and then quickly went downhill. What a shame.

One good thing about getting older is that someday I might forget I saw this lackluster entry in a crowded field of superhero burgers--and even a crowded field of superhero comedies. Although not offensively so, "Supervized" is a bad movie. It looks like a straight-to-video release, to a VHS tape, that is. Somewhat reminiscent of "Sky High" (2005), but worse and with old folks in a home instead of school kids. The jokes are uniformly flat, the effects are cheesy, and I don't know why the title is misspelled. The plot about a conspiracy to steal the superpowers of elderly heroes residing at a nursing home isn't entirely awful for much of the runtime, but it all falls apart in a nearly unwatchable climax. The cast of stars from the 1980s deserved better care than this in their old age.

A great idea, but so poorly executed. A great cast of actors are left floundering around a tepid, weak script, terrible production values, and huge plot holes.
