Critic Reviews

  • Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

    Super Capers begins as a campy tribute to comic book heroes and their 1960s and '70s TV incarnations, but quickly descends into an ineptly paced, toothless lampoon of sci-fi and fantasy films.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    Featuring the production values of a commercial for a local used-car dealership in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Super Capers is a pathetic grab bag of spoofs.

  • Lael Loewenstein, Variety

    A bizarrely misguided attempt to revive -- and spoof -- the classic B-movie, Super Capers is the kind of experience that makes you want your 93 minutes back.

  • Nathan Lee, New York Times

    Intended as a campy riff on comic-book antics, Super Capers is instead a monumental negative achievement: a super catastrophe.

  • Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

    This first feature by Ray Griggs wears its Mad Magazine influences like a badge of honor but fails to round up enough laughs to save the day.
