Plot summary

In 1960, Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum invented the Titan badge - a device that enables humans to have a particular super power. He took in three down-on-their-luck youths, creating an unusual family of superheroes and they quickly rose to fame and prestige. Over time, however, the commercial family fractured and the Professor replaced the team with a new set of super hero teens. Cut to 1979, when two of the original superheroes are all grown up and wanting their Titan badges back, even if it means robbing the Professor's museum and taking a few hostages accidentally.

this is a dumb movie

Some movies don't really take off and don't really go anywhere, it's like the director is experimenting or thinks all their ideas are so cool or so cute... not!

Super Zeros

I saw the trailer and thought, "Oh, this looks fun."

I was wrong. It was really boring. I didn't care about any of the characters. The extremely limited super hero scenes were super cheap looking. I enjoyed the 70s aesthetics but that wasn't enough to carry the film. Especially considering that most of the movie took place in one room.

A lot of the reviews here feel the need to mention "The Daily Wire" being involved with this movie. That should neither be a pro nor a con. This movie sucked, and it doesn't matter who made it or why. If you like watching spoiled children complain about how much of a douche their father is (and he is), you'll love this movie. Because that's all it is. Anyone who gave this movie a 10 is lying.

Starts off solid, but kind of goes off the rails at the end.

The Hyperions is a family dramedy with a superhero background. Cary Elwes is good and there are a few funny moments, but I wasn't really moved by the main point or emotional moments of the film.

You just don't get to know the characters enough to really feel anything and the most pivotal moment and conversation between the Professor and his estranged daughter all happens through facial expressions. Ok, we get that her power is reading minds but you decided to keep the audience guessing what he told her other than saying 'I love you'? I think the movie is filmed in a creative way that reminds me of Wes Anderson, but the script is lacking in cohesiveness and interesting characters other than the Professor which I feel is owed more to Cary Elwes talent than the script.

I'm a subscriber to the Daily Wire and really respect what they are doing by trying to make great movies without a woke agenda. However, it would be a lie to say any of them so far have been more than average.
