Superheroes (2011)

This is a documentary about real life schmucks who dress up and fancy themselves crime fighting superheroes. The stories range from funny to kinda cool to sad. Like really sad. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really sad.

I usually hate these kinds of documentaries that exploit these poor people in this way, depicting them in such a negative, pathetic manner. It just seems too easy to laugh... But some of them are all right, and they all have good intentions, even though they're pretty much just escaping into a life of fantasy and idealism. But, you know, you gotta have a hobby.
