Underrated by the fans of superhero movies who don't seem to understand the Noir genre. Granted, I am not a big fan of dark themed fiction, I still found the movie very well done.

Fantastic movie which let's the audience in just enough to see the sides of both cat and mouse. The plot twists keep you on edge until the end.

Like so many budget films, it had promise. Unfortunately, it's promise it doesn't keep. Questions left open and the answers you do get, you wish you hadn't. A truly disappointing last hour or so.

Dark, depressing, poorly shot and making the cardinal sin of screwing up its description of my home town. Sparks gives you little to cheer for and little to care about.

As long as you go into the movie acknowledging that it is an "indie" superhero movie, that it is quite good. Yes the graphics and special effects leave something to be desired, but the story and the characters are creative, interesting and engrossing. It was a pleasant surprise.

Busks its 1940s saga of dark redemption with considerable visual energy, if not always coherence or competence.

Here's a hearty keep-at-it award for Christopher Folino and Todd Burrows, directors of this restless, reckless superhero crime curio ...

Starburst

With a well-delivered, intriguing story combined with multi-layered characters and a tone that makes Gotham City's gargoyles look like singing angels, Sparks is the superhero genre's dirty little secret.

Rated: 8/10

Sparks shows plenty of cinematic muscle. It deserves a place among the legion of superhero movies.
