prawnda s @RT72497680 Jul 21, 2022 im not sure where all the bad ratings are from. people complain of bad writing and acting, but frankly it's quite good. in my opinion it was better than hancock, which everyone seems to compare it to. See more bryan b @heybryan Mar 24, 2021 Instead of magneto being a super villain he was an alcoholic drug addicted hood rat and had a documentary crew following him that is what this movie wants you to buy into. See more Feb 24, 2021 Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. I can recommend this, but I feel like it needs a caveat for being a "Super Hero" movie where the "Super Hero" is a drug addict. It's like one step past the line that "Hancock" danced around. The other big caveat is that it is shot "found footage" / "fakumentary" style, he literally does 4th wall breaks to a cameraman that couldn't possibly be there unless it's like "Chronicle" where he's floating the camera, which would also be impossible in some cases. And none of it cute like in "Deadpool". The movie itself is actually pretty entertaining, the characters are mostly funny, there is good action, and the writing is pretty nuanced with a good gradual build up in not only the story, but the character development.

You basically get to see a guy throw his life away and snort lots of coke amidst a run-down New Orleans. The film is just meandering and depressing... you are waiting for the 'life changing' event for Melvin to 'get his shit together' and fight crime. Instead of a superhero flick, it comes off as a relapsed addict documentary. For all the abuse and poor lifestyle choices, why is Melvin's white t-shirt always so bright and clean? His shoes are always immaculate too. See more jimmy j @JJ3700 Jul 29, 2018 American Hero's heart seems to be in the right pace, but there are way too many issues to recommend 'American Hero'. Even though I can admit this movie isn't "good", I did enjoy its deprived take on an "average joe" having exceptional gifts. They had something here, its just too bad it never woke from its melancholy. See more Jul 16, 2018 I think the documentary form of this movie (including leaving mention of it after the first part of the movie) worked well with the storyline. See more Read all reviews
