This movie is beyond terrible.
1. The story makes no sense. How did Samaritan and Nemesis get their powers? Why did they hate each other? How did Samaritan die, he fell into fire? But he's indestructible?! That makes no sense.
2. Terrible acting. This boy was beyond annoying the entire movie. He always had on a back pack but never went to school. He spent all of his time trying to find a "super hero" to save him and his mom and didn't care who he hurt or whose life he ruined in the process. The mom blamed everyone for her problems and never knew where her son was, or what he was doing. She said the most nonsense lines: don't hurt my son or you'll see a side of me you won't like. She says this while completely surrounded by guns. Why?!
3. Nonsense bad guy. Why did Cyrus hate Samaritan so much? He wanted the world to burn for what reason?? And when he found out that Nemsis was alive and trying to be a good guy he still tried to be like him??! What was the point?
4. Terrible directing. I was skeptical when I saw the name: Julius Avery and he had no good movies to his name, but I decided to give him a try. Never again will I make that mistake. The camera was all over the place. The first 7 minutes was a cartoon trying to explain bad guy vs good guy. There was no explanation about any of the characters.
Awful. Throw the whole movie away.
