I quite enjoyed this. A small town with a rather precarious overhanging rock gets by day-to-day with the help of their own local superhero. He's called "Super-Lion" and he lives quietly with his daughter 'Hedvig" who is a bit of a gaming addict. When tasked to do the laundry, she has a bit of a mishap and dad's empowering suit is now half the size it needs to be! Maybe it's serendipity? Perhaps it is time for him to hand on the baton to his successor before chaos engulfs their community. Well, possibly, except she proves to be pretty hapless in training - despite the best efforts of her father, and her grandmother! The job is hereditary, and so dad spreads his net a bit wider to include his rather accomplished, if full of himself, young nephew "Adrian" who takes to the role like a duck to water. The suit makes people stronger but it also augments their less attractive traits and so soon the new "Super-Lion" starts to become a bit of a selfish liability. Can dad, his own predecessor (grannie) and young "Hedvig" save the day? It's quite an entertaining animation that bashes a few stereotypes about the head and offers us some engaging characterisations for eighty minutes that look at determination, loyalty and friendship along with providing a few slapstick, life-saving, comedy scenarios. The animation itself is a bit basic, and it is annoyingly over-scored at times, but it did deserve to be seen by more than just me in the cinema.

Seriously? The girl can only play video games and wonders why dad won't let her be a super hero? Maybe she should have gone outside and played more instead of staying inside and playing video games. Heck, making her into a hero is an insult to everyone who goes to the trouble of staying fit.

The women around me are hating on the dad for not "standing up for her" when she is clearly not capable of doing the most basic of physical activities.

This movie is all about celebrating those who do nothing and expect to be rewarded for their lack of effort. It's Millenials in a nutshell. "Reward me for doing what I am supposed to do." Blech.

I saw this animated movie from Norway, and I thought that it was pretty good. It just goes to show that you don't have to have superpowers in order to do super things. I admit that it is by no means on a par with The Incredibles, but I can feel with the young heroine in the story who has no real known talent except for playing video games, and she also has to live in the shadow of her superhero father and her almost perfect but arrogant cousin. I for one know the feeling with my younger brothers. Therefore, on a scale of one to ten, I gladly give Just Super an eight. It was a super movie that gives us a super lesson.
