Special and Mirage Man


both great flicks that this idea obviously borrowed from...is it as good as the two?

reply

Special I am just about to see and Mirage man I never heard of. Defendor was awesome to me but then I havn't seen the others to actually compare. I would definitely urge you to give it a shot, it is very well done especially Woody.

Thanks for the hint, I will look for these films. Another unusual comic book movie (but without superheroes) is American Splendor.

Special stars Michael Rappaport and Mirage Man is a spanish film...very well done and realistic in my opinion

Mirage Man is not spanish, is chilean.

Yeah, Special is much better. I don't think Defendor ever really finds a good balance between comedy and seriousness, and I don't think it is very flattering to people who like superheroes, or wanna be superheroes. On top of that it is rather slow and has nothing particularly original in it. It's an OK movie, but nothing great. I rated it a 6 out of 10.

why did defendor have to look like a comedy in the trailers??? it's far from it
