Comment je suis devenu super-héros

This was a great film! I watched the English dubbed version so maybe it made a difference vs those who watched with subtitles. Expectations could be another factor which has resulted, thus far, in what I think is a low rating (5.8, 23dec2021).

Another reviewer noted that it was very similar to Powers (2015) (6.7 rating) but done much better. Having seen that series, this was exactly what I was thinking as I viewed it. I agree - it was done much better.

In a world where a percentage of the population has long had some form of superpowers, the novelty has worn off. So the film doesn't try and wow the viewer with super-powered beings. It creates this world and draws the viewer into it - no novelty, no pizazz... just everyday life with a story line built around a drug that enhances non-powered individuals.

The result is a story that's lower key and can be compared to films like Code 8: Renegados (2019) and Proyecto Power (2020). Like 'Code 8', superpowers are common place. Like 'Project Power', enhanced human abilities are achieved through an external source.

As much as I enjoyed the TV series and the two films linked here, I thought this film was the best of this particular set.

Would love to see this evolve into a franchise series with the same cast. Everyone was excellent in their roles: very real-world portrayals, humane, complex and engaging.

I was kind of surprised at how much I liked this movie. It's a nice take on the Superhero genre. The acting is good, as is the CGI. There's a little humor mixed in with the action. The only fault I have with the film is the way the music and dialog are mixed. In my opinion, the music is unnecessary loud even when there is no need for it. This is a fun movie.

Though it was reminding me Project Power film from 2020 but this version wasnt that bad. It was enjoyable as i do enjoy superhero type movies.

Many people now n days may rate a movie based on the plot or idea has been done and give them low scores But me i feel why do we have to rate a film based on how it compares to another one?

We should be rating movies based on the movie itself and how well it is. I seen someone give a 1/10 because it was similiar to project power lol and the guy seemed confused saying its the same movie but different title lmao.

Goes to show some people just didnt watch the whole movie before rating low scores 😂

Its time people quit with the "Oh its been done already" or "nothing fresh in plotline" and just sit back, watch the movie and then rate it afterwards based on how well they did on their own Not comparing to other similar films.

The story starts out slow but soons grabs your attention and interest. I watched the English dub and it's decent in the least. A good mix of action, suspense and novelty in the superhero world.

While this cannot be compared to DC/ Marcel movies at all, it's an entertaining one and deserves your time. Recommended watch !

And it's a bonus that my French continues to improve as I am entertained by more and more interesting French movies. Interesting characters and plot line, I enjoyed following different story lines and solid production values. Let's hope we see a lot more of these "real" characters that seem more down to earth in a strange but familiar Parisian world.
