The Hyperions isn't actually a perfect motion picture, however, that imperfection may very well make it a more effective motion picture.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

A surprisingly tender exploration of family and abandonment that embraces the quirky campiness of its 1970s kitsch setting.

Rated: 3/5

In the end, The Hyperions is good, not great…worse, with the potential to be great.

So there is 5 badges in a case on display a boy who really does nothing in the film couldn't be bothered to remember name has one and a lady is using one. So that makes 7. But they only ever keep showing 5 badges. ? And if you can't work out who the bad guy is within a second of seeing him not being the bad guy then you be in for a surprise NOT. Anyway I really don't hope they make number 2. As I couldn't really care about anyone in it.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The Umbrella Academy, in film form, with a budget based on what money could be found down the back of a sofa. Enjoyable, in a low stakes, probably wouldn’t regret it if you wandered off for twenty minutes in the middle sort of way.

I have to say I was going into this movie expecting something totally different, and in the end what I got was an awesome story of growing up and forgiveness.

The style is fresh and different, but many of the tropes have been repeated by more recent shows (The Boys, Umbrella Academy) so it ends up feeling like a retread despite coming first.

This had the potential to be a good movie, but it fell short. I don't think it was campy enough and it could have had been more of a comedy.
