How I Became a Super Hero

A messy French attempt at the superhero genre that tries to cash in on the current craze but ends up giving you 97 minutes of wasted time. (21.09.2021)

The immaturity of the director and screenwriter is very evident in the film – you can tell the difference between these "newbies" and seasoned Hollywood. How I Became a Super Hero is strikingly similar to Project Power: a pill that gives superpowers is found in a city and a bunch of detectives jump on the case. The problem is that we as the audience are thrown into a superhero world without the slightest attempt at an introduction, so we don't know why it's happening, who has powers and who doesn't, what exactly anyone can do, and we have no information about the sauce around it. On the one hand, the film feels terribly rushed as it doesn't explain much and moves along, but it feels just as terribly draggy and slow as nothing of substance happens for much of the time, and, aside from the occasional action sequence, we don't really see anything major. The visuals are pretty okay, the acting is average, the writing is weak, and within the superhero genre the film doesn't give us anything that we as viewers crave. It does have some class, but unfortunately it's still a flop. Better to watch the dvdrip of Black Widow, which is already available to download :P (11.07.2021)
