Comments on: ‘Push’ is Like ‘Heroes,’ But With Way More Action http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/push-is-like-heroes-but-with-more-science-and-stuff.php A Website About Movies Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:57:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Titus http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/push-is-like-heroes-but-with-more-science-and-stuff.php/comment-page-2#comment-127701 Titus Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:28:47 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=19627#comment-127701 And that's the biggest difference. X-men doubtfully could sue Heroes because they may have ripped some things off but they changed it enough to make it their own. From the looks of this movie Heroes could easily sue Push for this knock-off. When a movie is so similar looking to Heroes that they could have called it "Heroes: Push" (or have used the clips from this movie in a trailer for Heroes: Volume 4) and people wouldn't have known the difference, that's when you enter cheap knock-off territory. It's not saying that that is necessarily something bad. If knock-offs brands of movies, kleenex, and other products didn't sell they'd stop making them. There's obviously a market out there. I find their lack of originality disturbing to some extent, but maybe that's just me. But let's at least see this movie for what it is. A Heroes knock-off. And that's the biggest difference.

But that's what this is. It's a film using the Heroes hype and Heroes special effects (couldn't we have at least used some original digital effects aka black eyes) with a story and characters that could have actually came out of Heroes. All the aforementioned "rip-offs" did something different from what they were "ripping off". Heroes, for example, wasn't about constumed superheroes. Part of its appeal is that the "heroes" are just ordinary people suddenly given extraordinary powers. Basically, the idea that it could be you or your friend or your neighbor or anyone. There's no School for the Gifted, superhero team, Professor X, Brotherhood, Sentinels, or tights. If you are a fan off knock-offs that is cool. But that's what this is.

Forget that it's a "rip-off". Everyone says this is a rip-off of that and is similar to that and so forth. But Heroes changed things from x-men and forged it's own identity that made it only similar. The same with those others mentioned. The difference with this one is that it's a cheap "KNOCK OFF". It's like the cheap knock-off Movies that come out sometimes when major films come out (Alien vs Hunter, Transmorphers, Snakes on a Train, etc... and I'm not kidding... these are real movie knock-offs... no lie... go look them up).
