Super Trailer: Instant Classic Gets Wrenching Preview

Ha! [Cue honking gag horn] It'll all make sense after a look at the trailer for Super, James Gunn's outrageous (and outrageously violent) comedy featuring Rainn Wilson as a schmo-turned-crime-fighter working to reclaim his estranged wife (Liv Tyler) from an evil drug lord (Kevin Bacon). Along the way he enlists a young sidekick (Ellen Page) whose expertise in comics (and enthusiasm for head-busting) comes in handy on his quest.

I flat-out loved Super for a minimum of nine reasons, pretty much all of which (and more) this new trailer reminds me. Have a look, circle its April 1 release date on your calendar, and seriously, crime -- shut up, already.

VERDICT: Sold!
