Very good film. I thought I wouldn’t like this movie. I watched it on hulu. Its been several years since I have seen it. I am still impressed. I liked it very much. There is so much truth in this movie sometimes it almost hurts to watch it, but there is also great beauty revealed as we watch the broken heal.

This film is well shot, and the pacing is great. Technically it is a fine film, but the story, that is where it this film shines. In a world of ordinary men, some walk among us wearing their secrets on the outside. The superhero’s tale forks at every turn, always darts out of your grasp, until you stop trying to grab hold of the ideas being brought forth, and just watch the lives unfold on the screen before you.

So good it could be fiction, but the impact is so strong because it is the truth. Isn’t there a little superman inside us all?

2 thumbs up.

Christopher Superman Dennis along with several others actors were arrested June 2010 by LAPD for “loitering”. This was a sweep done by police to remove the actors from Hollywood Blvd. The police stated several fights were breaking out between the actors and some of them were becoming too demanding towards tourists for tips. Some of them yelled at the tourists or did offensive gestures for not tipping. It’s my understanding they actors were back allowed on Hollywood Blvd after a court ruling in their favor.

I just watched this movie last night with my boyfriend, and I thought that it WAS touching. It was interesting to see how four different people came to get into that profession.

I am quite appalled at the comments that are on this page. I was not there when this film was shot, and I don’t know any of the people involved, so of course the truth on how everyone was treated is going to be a forever argument between the director and “Batman.”

But I must say this to you, “Batman”, you attacking “Connie”‘s opinion really does show how deep your anger is. I don’t agree with what she said–I have lots of friends that are struggling actors/directors/etc, and I sympathize with how difficult everything got when you stumbled into the profession of being a street entertainer/struggling actor. But, I don’t think her comment warranted an angrier one from you. Some people just don’t understand why people do what they do, so you kind of have to let that go. Sure, it’s hurtful, but arguing against everything, especially in the manner you chose, makes you sound vindictive.

I’m interested to see where everyone’s lives ended up. I see that Joseph McQueen (Who was my favorite, by the way!) is going to be in an upcoming movie called “Zombie Ed”. But I don’t see anything on any of the other characters. Does anyone know how these four characters are doing?

Wow!
It’s people like Connie, that made “Confussions of a Stupidhero”!
Thank You so much Connie for your wonderful comments.
The Documentary of “Confussions” made us, purposely, look like psycos and of course edited it badly to make us look like we said things COMPLETELY different.
But, it is two-faced, backstabbing people such as Connie, to start the bad rumors, talk bad about someone, or just plain trash someone, to make themselves look & feel better.

If getting mad at people who are lying, thieving, two-faced, backstabbing, sneaky, losers, who claim to be your friend or say they care…If that makes me a psyco or shows that I need mental help. Then I’m gulity!
Does anyone believe in Righteousness, Respect, Kindness, Caring for your fellowman, “And the greatest of these is Love”
Does anyone believe in these things anymore?
Somehow…I just can’t find them.

The people who dress as characters on Hollywood Blvd are all very strange people. Many of them have some very misguided thoughts that they will be discovered and become movie stars.It’s pretty much a freak show. that alone shows you how out of touch with reality these people are. The Freddy Krueger guy who goes by the name of Gerard is a very misguided little man, as is the guy who does Superman. Both Confessions of a superhero and Reinactors are nothing more than documentaries about freaky people, who need mental help. Regardless of their excuses of why they are humiliating themselves, they are nothing more than panhandlers and so far lost in their quest for attention to find a real job. Truly bottom-feeders of society.The saddest reality of this little gang of weirdos is that they have no idea how far gone from reality that they are. They all take themselves way too serious, and need mental help.

well, batman, I sure hope that you’re not as insane as the maker of the film depicted you as being.

This pethetic display of the lives of the Characters, WAS done with Lies and Deception. Canavino is right!
Matt Ogden IS trying to steal the lives of the Characters, so they can never do anything ever again as Actors, as their Character, or even as themselves. He has Lied to ALL of Us from the beginning. He DID edit things very badly to make Us look like we said something completely different.
At no time…was I EVER a hitman for the mafia. At no time…did I ever work for the Mafia.
At no time…did I do half the stuff that admits on film. He edited that way on purpose as he did with ALL of Us.
Matt Ogden is a Liar, A Thief, A Backstabbing, Two Faced, Sneaky, Arrogant, Misguided, steaming pile of Bat Guano, who is a pethetic excuse for a human being! PERIOD!
BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE!!!! IT IS A JOKE TO EVERYONE!!!

“Confussions Of A Stupidhero” was done with deception and lies! It was edited in some parts, two sentences edited together, to make the actors sound like they said something completely different, then what was really said.
I hear Matt Ogens is also trying to “steal” the lives of the Actors in the film. Is that leagal?!
I have seen both films, both films are very good, but one was done with Lies, Deceit, and Arrogance.
Shame….Matt Ogen gives a bad name to film makers!

Confessions is the most boring, unfunny, uninteresting 1 1/2 I’ve ever lost watching a documentary. I love how the director is so sad he has do defend himself on a blog, what a conceded wanker. Funny too cause Superman is selling copies on H’wood blvd. for way cheaper so if you want to waste 1 1/2 of your life buy a copy from him.

The movie draws a destructive light on those people’s motivation, who want to go to hollywood and make it.

What I am still fascinated about though is the fact that they could pay their rent by doing this.

This issue comes up in every city – can I make enough money to pay my rent and buy food?

Their lifes depend on the money tourists give them by the tourists own choice. The actors claim they would earn close to 1000 Dollars on a good day but that seems unrealistic to me.

But I prefer Confessions of a Superhero to any episode of “The girls of playboy mansion”.

The reviews and success of Confessions of a Superhero speak for themselves. Period. I won’t waste time responding to some of the negative comments. Probably “friends” with the filmmakers of the other film on some of the same characters, which by the way, started shooting a year after Confessions began.

I’m amused by the description of anything Dave Markey does as “local college news station” because I think nothing could be further from the truth. I wish I’d had the opportunity to see The Reinactors already but I guess I’ll have to wait until the Montreal film festival in October.

How did you get to see it, Carlos?

I’ve got a review of it and an interview with Dave Markey in the latest issue of Popshifter if you’d like to read them.
