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. The movie wion several prizes and nominations such as Cinema Writers Circle Award, Feroz Awards, Gaudi Awards, Sant Jordi and Goya Awards. 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.
