Self-conscious camp like this can weather (even requires) a certain degree of amateurishness. But there are limits, and Surge of Power's sloppy writing and talent-show performances quickly exceed them. Go to Full Review

[It] lives very comfortably in its low-budget vibe. It'sself-aware and self-serious in roughly equal measures. Go to Full Review

Apr 2, 2012 Even though the acting may seem extremely bad/silly and the plot is quite straightforward, the movie is written in a way to keep every scene quite entertaining. The actors seem extremely aware of the movie's campiness, which just makes this movie a lot more fun. If you like TaEASGJ, King of the Hill, and other shows/movies with more subtle humor then this is the movie for you. See more Jul 21, 2008 This movie was super duper dumb. The gay superhero was scrawny, ugly and flamey. And it wasn't even the good flamey gay. I sat through the first 45 minutes. No way Jose am I sitting through the rest. See more Feb 21, 2008 I don't mind the occassional low budget queer movie - especially if its a comedy - but damn! This SUCKED. We watched it the whole way through hoping it would redeem itself, but no dice. See more Sep 20, 2007 Best Superhero Movie in Years !! See more Read all reviews
