Fly

Chronicle ★★★★
Unpopular troubled teenager accidentally develops telekinetic powers becoming more and more unbalanced as his powers grow, resulting in city wide mayhem with him flying around in a hospital gown crushing cars and destroying buildings.
Tribute, homage and just nicking stuff is ok but it should be properly credited.
This takes two of the nerd trinity, Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira and Alan Moore's Marvelman, adds the slightly annoying 'found footage' style and the result is one of the more interesting and enjoyable superhero films even if it isn't doing anything that wasn't done better in other formats over twenty years ago.
