  I enjoyed this Documentary a lot. I actually just went out yesterday (3-25-2011) as Wonder Woman (born and raised a WW fan) and actually worked the same day as Superman lol. It was fun and I did it just fun (not expecting tips, but grateful for them). :-) I do have a lot of respect for the characters that work Hollywood Blvd (the ones that aren't pushy because this isn't a real job, also the ones that look good too). And I hope nothing but the best for them (Mainly The Hulk!) -Ashley A.K.A Diana Prince

  I love documentaries and live in Hollywood and often walk the Boulevard, so of course I had to see this film. I was disturbed at the mocking, condescending tone of the film toward it's subjects. It felt to me like it broke some sacred rule in documentary making to tell your subjects story without overt judgement. These people trustingly opened their lives to the film makers, obviously hoping for it to lead to a break in their professional lives, and instead were made to look like delusional fools. In several instances, it felt like the film makers set the subjects up for failure and embarassment. It reminded me of the doc on Rodney Bingenheimer in which the director encouraged Mr Bingenheimer to propose to a woman who the director knew would reject Mr. Bingenheimer. The result was heartbreaking and cruel. Is this the result of the cheap attitudes churned out in some of the low rent "reality" T.V. shows bleeding over into the sacred art of documentary? I don't know, but the makers of these films should turn the lens on themselves and ask why they are so small-minded, mean-spirited, and in need of belittling others. Creepy.

  Wow. The still photos are AMAZING. Great transitions between each person you're focusing on. It was easy to keep everyone straight even though yu tackled a big number (four) of individuals. REally pointed to their humanity. Beautiful film. Thank you.

  I was just looking for something to watch on here as well and I peeked at this and couldn't stop watching it. It was very well made and I had to see the entire thing. You really get to feel the peoples emotions. I really felt for them all and I could relate to trying to a lot of it. -Jason Grimm

  Awesome film! I was just looking for something to watch on moviefone and I got totally sucked into this film. It's real, courageous, and inexplicably addicting. It was a great use of a Saturday morning. I really felt for the four people and I became totally immersed in their world.

  I loved the documentary. Les with http://www.morrfilm.com 1-800-250-6421 worked on Villisca (a documentary sold worldwide) and I appreciate all your efforts. Very well done!

  We should all try to get that batman guy as the replacement for Heath as the Joker in the up and coming batman movie :). I mean towards the end, he really as some good potential joker material there!!

  I liked the documentary and got into it right away. I didn't think I would watch it all the way thru but I did. It was a look into the lives of real people struggling to make ends meet. They didn't have to be out on the street day in-day out, but they did. Glad all worked out for them. I liked Hulk, his hard life touched me. He has a good spirit. Wonder Woman is a beautiful person, hope she will find happiness and a steady job. Superman, glad you married Bonnie. She seems really nice. Plus, you do look like Chris. Batman, aka Clooney, no violence. It's nice to be nice. You have the skills to make a decent clean living.

  I liked this documentary. Given thanks to the fellows at IGN's GameScoop for recommending this movie. This really shows the darker sides of Hollywood. The "characters" are really interesting. Batman does have a few screws loose though.

  these aren't superheroes, they're people who say " we work for tips" all day long. if you're going to get paid to be Superman you should work out. beggars with costumes

  I didn't think I'd like this but I'm a huge documentary buff, and I think it was done amazingly well. I was hooked within five minutes!
• Posted 12/14/09 by Calawishus
  This was a great doc. I didn't think I was going to watch the whole thing but I got so into it. It was a perfect example to show what Hollywood is really like, as oposed to what we are lead to belive. Good luck to the Hulk, I think he could make it. And I am glad that Wonder Woman is single now because I want to marry her. But lets wait a little more than 2 weeks.

  The film was done well. I like the background video inclusions and the stills along whith the background music. All of this combined with the personal stories made the film have a real "feel" to it. It showed the human side of the rough and real life of a Hollywood actor. Most people that end up in Hollywood, are like these people. They just want to be in the business. They don't know why or how, they just want it, bad enough to scrape out a living as panhandling superheroes, even living on the street, just to be there. Living out a dream, or living out a fantasy. The film shows how far we can go, as human beings, to "live the dream". Truly a representation of the human side of Hollywood, on the "boulevard of broken dreams."

  I like the film but the way that the commercial spots are edited in are incredibly distracting! Why not cut them in at the end of a scene instead of right in the middle? pre-roll ads would be better tolerated I think. Too many ads in general...ruins the film.
• Posted 10/23/09 by robo
  i live 2 blocks from the chinese and see these people all the time. great doc
• Posted 09/17/09 by Lewis
  Like i had read on your Q&A;, i also liked the fact that you just showed how these people work and live instead of exploting them like other people would or making fun of them. These people have alot of passion for what they do.

  Hey guys, i really liked your film. It was very informative and entertaining at the same time. Keep up the good work.

  Hi everyone. My father hated radio and could not wait for television to be invented so he could hate that too.

  The guy who plays the hulk in this film was on an episode of "My Life On The D-List" on bravo. Kathy Griffin and a rapper called T.I. walked down hollywood boulevard and the hulk guy took off his mask and called out to T.I. and Kathy.

  i think its funny that mostly all of these people act as comic characters yet dont read comic books.

  Hi all. For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

• Posted 08/11/09 by Ian
  I have to admit that these people are so brave,no matter what they're doing now as a transition to that and to make ends meet.My heart goes out to them, the Batman and Wonder woman "actors" especially for trying and wanting to live their dreams and for the Superman "actor"..well,what better person to want to emulate and have a fixation on than someone as great at the Man of Steel.
• Posted 07/11/09 by Amber
  I live our here in this crazy town called Hollywood and I too am trying to be an actress. I stumbled upon this film and could not "put it down". I was truly entranced by it. It's honesty, rawness and humanity kept me totally plugged in. It made me want to cry and scream all at the same time all while wanting to give the Hulk a great big hug. Great job.
• Posted 07/04/09 by DayTripper
  Excellent content and editing. Excellent subjects. Excellent Picture. Director Matthew Ogens was fairly lucky to have found this cast of 'characters.' An angry, chain-smoking, pathologically lying, imaginary ex-'gangster' Batman. A Superman-obsessed, nerdy, mirror-image of Clark Kent. A wholesome, needy, and lonesome southern belle of a Wonderwoman. And a completely average, optimistic but down on his luck black guy as the Hulk. Documentary subjects don't often get much better, and director Matthew Ogens nails it. Best non 5-star movie I've seen on this site. And one of the best overall. Great Piece. Very Highly Recommended.
• Posted 05/22/09 by toni
  why would ANYBODY want to put themself through hollywood. all they care about is money. they dont care about you at all. anything about you or your dreams. the black guy and the chick get props from me. :) they have the right idea.
• Posted 05/18/09 by LikerOfThisMovie
  Absolutely LOVED this movie. VERY well done. The mixture of characters, the integration of photographs, the MUSIC, the slow-mo clips... all of it kept me intrigued and interested to view each minute. I also love the characters. I wish them the best of luck!!

  I just saw "Superman" this past weekend walking through the shops at Hollywood&Highland;. Said "w'zup" and he said hello back. Seemed like a cool dude. My wife and friends say he's definitely Christopher Reeve-like. Oh, and I enjoyed watching this feature while at work. Thanks!

  Hey guys do some fact checking. Or was thhe point that Batman only had a black belt in eating cheeseburgers? That fat wanna be couldn't fight anything that didn't have a slick coating of mayo. What a joke I'd like to kick right back to the bat cave. MJL chatropolis the largest chat site

  The player really sux. First time on this site and it has a horrible control for moving around in the video. I watched part of the movie and had to come back to it, but couldn't see the time counter to know exactly where to restart it. You can't really drag the slider and get to a certain place in the video. Really needs to be worked on. Look at how vimeo and youtube work. Geez.

  Actually, Master Shake, I think this would be considered a documentary. It's following real people in their real profession which happens to be impersonating superheroes.
• Posted 02/04/09 by Philip
  I really enjoyed this film, "confessions of a superhero" the real lives of superheroes on Hollywood Blvd. I also give it a four out of five rating.
• Posted 02/04/09 by Tim
  It is an interesting documentary. I enjoyed it. Batman has few screws loose upstairs.
• Posted 02/03/09 by Master Shake
  This is a FILM, but not a documentary. Nothing wrong with entertainment, but this is not reality.

  Just finished watching "CONFESSIONS OF A SUPERHERO". the film was for the most part, REAL. Real people, real lives. Great concept and very interesting. I actually took the time to watch the film. I gave it a 4 star rating. Either you like it or you dont. I like the fact behind it all was very real lives. Very interesting......

  LOL, Superman wants the world to know he's had sex :-) Can't smoke in costume, but he can talk about sex in costume. Well, it was a sweet "love meeting", too bad superman had to make his gf? look like an easy cheap date, lol.

  I for one think that the men and women who remind us that there is a greater good in need and superheroes are welcomed in our community, Wonder woman, Batman the Hulk and Superman are more than an idea, it's a dream that protects us all. The people who take on these persona's are going to be remembered, We need and love our heroes. How bland and unsafe it would be to not have them,children and adults alike.Thank all of you,especially Wonder Woman, who could give her up, i would keep you happy i'm sure, use your lasso of truth on me if you don't believe me, go ahead and use the lasso anyway.love to all of you and be safe.
• Posted 02/01/09 by gjraf
  Very well done. Poignant and hauntingly great. It says a lot about Hollywood and the American way. Superman was/is special in character and in the comics. I enjoyed it very much and rate it superior.

  She says "sure a doctor saves lives, but is he remembered?" I must have forgotten how many lives street performers saved.

  Growing up in Los Angeles...You see these folks every time you take out of towners to visit the walk of fame...this was an interesting look into the lives mof these folks behind the scenes. At times a little depressing and a bit disturbing... I am glad i watched it...

  That is so great, that you are all doing this. even if it was to pay a little bit. I realize how many smiles you put on peoples faces. I believe in expanding the goodness among us, it starts with a smile.as for batman, who said superheros lived for ever? I think you guys are doing a great Job. Keep it up people. You guys are great.

• Posted 01/31/09 by tyronenorwood
  I think whatever it was it was good to watch and They make Hollywoodland interesting, however, Superman is too skinny and Batman, well he looks like George Clooney in about twenty years.
• Posted 01/31/09 by krimson
  Master Shake you must have never gone outside your room. I was in Hollywood for the past 3 years and saw Superman, Jack Sparrow, Wonderwoman, lots of them. You obviously know less than your IQ. Which isn't saying alot.
• Posted 01/31/09 by matt
  hey to master shake, your an idiot, there r a ton of those characters out there, i know because i was one of them for 2 years, a couple years back, it is good money when it starts coming in, but i had a real job so this was just acting fun, most people out there its their only job so they get aggressive, but yes it is very real and they r out there, mostly on weekends!!!!
• Posted 01/31/09 by Master Shake
  One problem with this supposed "reality' film. I lived just off of Hollywood Blvd. for 20 years and never saw any of these people. In all those years, I saw someone in costume maybe twice - during a movie premier. Unless you count someone dressed as some food item in front of a restaurant. Its a movie. It is NOT a documentary - period.

  Great editing, wonderful cinematography and directing. Courageous subjects.

  The world is desperate for superheroes. Countries like America, India and China can express their deep need of this kind of super human beings through their film industries. Superheroes don't exist. Superhuman do exist but they are not necessarily super heroes. If superheroes exist, Gaza massacre won't happen. We don't need UN and we won't need US Troops in all other countries and continents to "bring peace" or breed terror.
• Posted 01/30/09 by Christopher M. Gillis
  Very compelling documentary. I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the courage to chase their dreams like these people. I wish them the best of luck, and hope their dreams become reality. God bless.

  This was a great film that embraced the reality of unique individuals in which we live amongst. Weather or not the persons depicted were truthful or not, it was not biased and left the viewers draw up their own opinions. I was left marveled at how each character used their "secret identity" to gut out the daily grind. Awesome movie, 2 thumbs up!
• Posted 08/29/08 by Alex
  This is an amazing documentary. Sad and informative. I really like how they got so far into their lives that they confess some of their darkest secrets. Great film!
• Posted 08/01/08 by Carolynn
  Wow. This movie is everything I love about documentaries. It takes a subject that seems boring and unimportant and it portrays it in a way that keeps you captivated.
