Superlópez

An enjoyable light hearted parody of Superman. The English audio and sub titles don't really do justice to the original Spanish script but still worth watching. A welcome counterbalance to the "serious " super hero genre.

Ironical spoof of the American hero, Superman, here in the peculiar Spaniard style. Spanish comic books legend comes alive in this wonderfully entertaining saga of Superhero's life .

Diverting superhero movie based on comic books from Jan, with thrills, noisy action, twists, state-of-art FX , lots of humor and an amusing romance . It is an entertaining movie, resulting to be a pretty fun spoof of the known character Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuter, here as a botcher hero with several troubles well played by Dani Rovira . A surrealist, hilarious, though uneven comedy, but it is also bold and intelligent, at times. Nice special effects and a script that does not take itself too seriously make this a decent movie. Promising satiric begins well , but ultimately defeated by cliched story and filmmaking, as well as tiring physical comedy. Daniel Rovira gives a sympathetic acting as the ordinary and anonymous office worker undergoing transformation into a special Spanish superhero. He is well accompanied by Alexandra Jimenez as his love interest, developing a triangular love story among Dani Rovira-Alexandra Jimenez-Julián López. Fine support cast formed by important secondaries as Julián López, Pedro Casablanc, Gracia Olayo, Gonzalo de Castro, Ferrán Rañe, among others . Special mention for Maribel Verdú as Agata, an extraterrestrial woman turned in CEO of her own and more notorious cleaner machine company all over the world.

Rating 6.5/10. Decent superhero movie and enjoyable comedy.

From someone who's never heard about Super Lopez before: I found this movie on Netflix and it's a great entertainment. Fun, light and well done. I'm Brazilian and didn't know this superhero even exist and I found hilarious. I watched with my husband and we both enjoyed it. It's a superhero parody and if you watch it without expectations you'll have some fun, too. I gave it 10 for the effort to make some good parody (and to correct the ratings. This movie doesn't deserve 5,4).

This is not Avengers. It is a completely goofy Spanish parody of Superman that was so dumb that it was funny. I'm not Spanish, and I don't speak spanish, so I can't speak to how faithful this was to the comic, or how good the dialogue and acting we're in the original language. I had to watch the English dubbed version on Netflix. My wife picked it on a whim. I had never heard of the comic before, but I do like The Tick, and other superhero parodies. But it was so silly and stupid funny to that I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. Its kind of slow in places, and the dub has a lot of swearing in it (even a few f-bombs that I thought were out of place). But I laughed out loud a lot, and even felt inclined to give it a positive review. If you are wanting an epic superhero movie with good production values and and top notch acting you'll probably hate this. If you're looking for brilliant comedy and witty dialog, then you'll probably also hate this. But if you like superhero parodies, and enjoy cheesy light-hearted movies then you might like it. I thought the music was actually really good. And I found the lead actor to be likeable and funny, although it was an obvious dub. But the voice actor did pretty good and I think the cheesiness of the dubbed made me like it more.

I think it's a good adaptation of cartoon and I found it so funny. I lived in Spain and understand Spanish language. That's way, I understand that some people doesn't like this movie. A little bit difficult feel the ambiance of movie, if you're not familiar to Spanish society and language..
