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.

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).

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 . It portrays Superlópez from being a baby on a doomed and farway planet named Chitón. There a nasty General called Skorba : Ferran Rañe, threatens with his military army to destroy the planet, annhilate towns and its population. While the planet is really threatened, the newborn is sent by his parents : Gonzalo Castro, Portas, to Earth by flying at a pod throughout the deep space. The pod lands on the Spanish countryside where is found, raised and educated by a farmer marriage : Pedro Casablanc, Gracia Olayo, who have a repair garage . Later on, when grown-up, he works as an offfice clerk and decides to practice and expose his superpowers by flying and pulling off impossible missions . Along the way, another native, Maribel Verdú, of his planet attempts to capture him to carry out dark purports . Meantime, Juan gets a job from his old friend Jaime : Julián López, but then his orderly existence in interrupted when there appears Luisa : Alexandra Jimenez, his former flame and old love interest in the University, who is also hired in the company by Jaime. Thing go wrong when both, Jaime and Juán fall for her. "The superhero that this country does not need".

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.

Here stands out the colorful and brilliant cinematogaphy by Arnau Valls Colomer. As well as a thrilling and catching musical score by Fernando Velazquez. The motion picture was professionally directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera.

Caldera is a prestigious editor and filmmaker, especially known for his hilarious films. A comedy expert who has made a few but successful films, such as : Spanish movie, Tres bodas más, Promoción fantasma and another rendition based on a comic book : Anacleto Agente Secreto. Rating 6.5/10. Decent superhero movie and enjoyable comedy.

This Spanish Superman parody is seriously funny! Those reviewers that gave it a low rating just don't get it. This movie was not meant to be a big superhero movie, and certainly not to be taken seriously. They made it deliberately goofy, and the result is almost two hours of fun! I had some big laughs with this movie, and enjoyed it all the way. Two hours well spent! Highly recommended for every fan of Superman and parodies.

For a first movie of a well known Character will be important to stablish good foundations , this film is that and more , beacouse the need of show how a man ( well is an alien but ) with superpowers grows trying to look like a normal person to other people , to be accepted , and the hard way to break with his foster parents education to arrive to his maximum potencial .

So i hope this motion picture will be the first of many , in another hand we have a comedy for all the family , well will be some non-correct languaje , but nothing a modern child had'nt hear in his usual day . And we have a film with hiden eggs also , the hero having breakfast ....... looks like a Alfredo Landa or ...... will be Charles Chaplin , or may be a mix of both of them.

Finaly has been a good experience to see "Superlopez" finally on a cinema screen.
