Capsule Review: Little Superman (0 Stars)
nairtejas25 August 2019
There's a sequence in Little Superman where a character is straight out eaten by a comic version of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and then saved by a genie-like being covered in gold. That is probably the peak point of embarrassment for director Vinayan and his team as they set out on a ridiculously ambitious project of creating a superhero film that also translates as one highlighting a social cause (corruption by government officials). It is clear that this low-budget play is targeted at young kids but even a six-year-old will disregard it as something that has been made without an iota of imagination. There are also a handful of frames built only for the 3D effect and it's so conspicuous, I am finding it difficult to call this a film. Little Superman gets everything wrong from the basic premise of filmmaking to storytelling for kids, making it perhaps a top contender for the worst Malayalam film of the 2010 decade. TN.

Supervillain?

Warning: Spoilers
Not everyone gets a romantic origin story. For Willy Wilson, a 12-year-old comic book fan, it takes falling into a manhole and getting trapped in a sewer for a few days to learn that he can fly and has telekinesis. So when he's free, Willy puts on a mask and does what more than one remix remake ripoff Superman has done: hunt down his parents' murderers and kill them in cold blood.

Directed, written and produced by Vinayan - who also made the three hundred dwarf-starring Albhuthadweep (Wonder Island) - Little Superman has sequences of low budget CGI and 3D that give it a cheaper quality than perhaps even Süpermen Dönüyor, the gold standard for the lowest of the low budget Men of Steel.

When Little Superman isn't throwing parent murderers into buildings or letting them die in burning buildings, he's embarrassing every single teacher at his school. They can't discipline him or they'll die, so you have to forgive them for their lack of authority.
