Un homme, persuadé d'être un superhéros, ne sait plus distinguer le vrai du faux et décide de se lancer dans une thérapie afin de voir s'il n'est pas schizophrène... (texte officiel du distributeur)
Critiques (5)
A pleasant and nicely-pointed variation on touching films about retards and films about superheroes that are not touching. Stebbings dances on the edge of the incompatible and sometimes he slips into the imbalance between a serious drama and a crazy comedy, but the perfect Harrelson always returns the lost balance to the film. it is his creation on the edge between seriousness and parody that gives the improbable and, in fact, very childish world of Defendor, something that will force you to sigh with sentiment during the final "I love you". I agree that Defendor could have been better, but even the existing potential is still enough for very pleasant and specific enjoyment. ()
Modern Don Quixote… 8/10 ()
Somewhere half-way between Unbreakable and Kick-Ass. The somewhat weaker (but not bad) script is fully redeemed by Woody Harrelson's performance of a lifetime. ()
Another wannabe super hero movie, but I found the similarly titled Super more interesting because of the colourful humour and brutality. This one is kind of bland, but Woody Harrelson is good as always. 60% ()
I didn’t have high expectations for this film and I enjoyed it all the more. The film was serious throughout, but I still found moments that made me laugh out loud. I'm not a big fan of Woody Harrelson, but I must admit he was an excellent choice for the role of Arthur Poppington. I wasn't bored for a second and would have even added a fifth star if the ending hadn't been drowned in a pool of pathos. ()
