Dennis Harvey Variety "Supercon" is a poor stab at Christopher Guest-style ensemble antics combined with a rote heist plot. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times A crassly sophomoric spoof directed and cowritten by Zak Knutson that squanders a criminal amount of proven comic talent. Apr 26, 2018 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Though devoted fanboys may find it worth a chuckle or two on streaming outlets, most will find it as unsatisfying as a photo op with an extra from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Supercon is a fun watch that will bring some memories and some of the conventions ridiculousness to mind for those who have been or are current regulars. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 12, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files There's a need for a snarky, cynical look at the con experience from the inside. Supercon could have been that film, but it went too low-brow to deliver on its potential. Rated: 2/10 Apr 30, 2018 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies The movie only forgets some actual comedy and to make the assorted heroes likeable. Other than that, it's still pretty bad. Rated: 0.5/4 Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I was actually pretty excited to see super con a movie that revolves around comic book conventions. The movie does have some smart satire and jokes about the industry but overall it just comes off as another dumb heist movie. The movie is not nearly as funny as it could’ve been and some of the actors especially John Malkovich seem greatly misscast. Maybe one of these days we’ll get a really good movie about comic book conventions. If you want to see a good movie of this type go see fanboys instead. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/11/20 Full Review Audience Member Legitimately the worst. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This was horrific. How was it made? Im so confused. It can be watched ironically I guess. As you ponder what in the name of sweet baby Jesus the producers / actors and writers were thinking. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty poor. Not even Malkovich could help Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has a subtle subversiveness that the reviewers I have read seem to have missed. They appear not to perceive the humor inherent in con fans watching a movie to see con fans pretending to be con fans. They are going to get all the jokes. They also seem to not appreciate the unabashed playing with the industry's hypocrisy of feigning extreme offense at every type of awful stereotype while building and maintaining a business model that uses those stereotypes as their stock and trade. Some people don't take offense in the abstract. But what they seem to miss most is that there's an actual twist ending that makes the whole much more than a prurient bagtag slapstick heist caper. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I wanted to go on the heist with them, but it was fun to go along for the ride. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
