Reviews say it's better than Batman vs Superman

17-year-old Nigerian student Joshua Umia is getting a lot of attention for his homemade action films with special effects, especially his remake of a Flash vs Zoom episode - which are all filmed on a Blackberry Bold 5.

Pretty awesome. I would like some explanation of how Transporter suddenly becomes Gazerbeam or Cyclops or whatever, and just what is up with the cosmic Coke bottle...

That's some top class snark.

It's Nollywood.
Just roll with it.

OTOH, I guess Flash is popular in Nigeria.

And, man, Supergirl: time to lift your SFX game.

(Flash gets a free pass unless Umia has a King Shark episode).

Mezentian: That was pretty much the sentiment of most people reblogging the Flash vs Zoom vid on Tumblr.

I love these. I want to give these kids all the money to keep making as many movies as they want, forever.

Probably some sort of The Gods Must Be Crazy reference.
