Push
I'm sure you've read something on this site that refers to the fact that many movies that come out this time of year are not good. This is one of those movies. Push is a super-hero movie that includes action and cool special effect like most others. The plot was simple, two people venture out to take down an evil organization that wants to use people with powers as weapons. The plot is a little confusing and they don't do a good job of explaining things in the movie. However, what ruins this movie is the fact that the so called super heroes, are not heroes to anyone other than themselves. True heroes care for all people and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. All these people fight to save their own lives and in no way suggest that they will use their gifts to help other people. To them, the greater good consists of them surviving and being safe. In this movie, they took advantage of others and/or made them commit suicide which is rather disturbing in some scenes. All this builds up in the movie and at the end you realize that they aren't so super at all. So what things did we learn about in this movie? Deceit, revenge, tyranny, and selfishness. Not very heroic huh? 5 out of 10.
