Like most movies based on a comic book this movie was really awful. It was particularly bad because it took itself too seriously, there was absolutely no humor and I'm saying that as a fan of Stallone. He just couldn't do anything to save this movie.
Everything about this film reeked of inferiority. Bad direction, bad cinematography, bad edition, and a terrible script. How did this turkey get made? This film is so emblematic of Hollywood's cultural bankruptcy.
Stallone was good, as was the nemesis character. The kid was annoying, the Tom was annoying, the bad guys were baying annoying. There was no entertainment value here.
The scenes at the end were so ridiculous, so comic book, so stupid, and so adolescent.
There was just absolutely no redeeming value in this film, save your time, watch something worthwhile.

Plot summary
Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon "Wanna" Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone) is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty Five years ago, Granite City's super-powered vigilante, Samaritan, was reported dead after a fiery warehouse battle with his rival, Nemesis. Most believe Samaritan perished in the fire, but some in the city, like Sam, have hope that he is still alive. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to coax his neighbor out of hiding to save the city from ruin.

Stallone was the only good part of this film
I don't get the hate
Is this the best superhero movie ever made, hell no, is it the worst movie ever made, not by a long shot.
Stallone plays to his strengths here
- no long bits of dialogue for him to chew over, check
- some good action scenes, check
- vulnerable young kid for him to save, check
- twist in the end you didn't see coming, unless you are that person at work who sees every twist before they even start watching it, check
- actor who makes you say to your family, "who is that guy?, what else was he in?" Check
- laughter track, when you realise it was the annoying kid from Hannah Montana, and the only way he has grown in 15 years is the addition of multi coloured cornrows, check
- reasonably good supporting cast, especially the main bad guy, and then when you realise who it is, and what he was in, makes you hate "the dans" for ruining the end of game of thrones, because that's how Euron Greyjoy should have been
Joking aside, it's a good movie and you won't want the 2 hours back as wasted time, I'd be a happy man if Stallone kept churning out films like this till he enters the pearly gates, yes he's old, but would I want to pick a fight with him god no.
Well done Stallone sir, as it says in this movie "I'm a fan"
What is good? what is bad?
Finally watching a film with Stallone as a super hero. The film is about twins, while one is good (Samaritan) and the other is bad (Nemesis),they disappeared 25 years ago and everyone thought the good killed his brother and vanished. However, the boy was bullied by the bad guys, and Stallone the neighbor came out and punished them, and their friendship started. The bad guy came back and wanna kill him, and I found out his superpower (binary fusion!) where his cells can reproduce and thus he is not getting hurt! Through he need to lower his temperature and thus there is much ice-cream in the fridge! While the bad man (Cyprus) wanna simulate Nemesis and destroy the city and boy, Stallone then went and rescue him. During the fighting, everyone knows he is Nemesis instead of Samaritan! What a surprise! Anyway he knocked down the gangster and rescued the boy, and a happy ending....
Originally a 6-7 stars movie, however I really like the final idea of the movie...do not easily judge who is good and who is bad, your heart can tell you how to be good..so I give a 8 points to it! Keep going!
