Superwho?

For me, an instant favourite that flies into the TOP 10 movies of all time. I've seen the film twice in the cinema already, but I'm still excited that I don't know how to properly express my feelings. The director, Philippe Lacheau, is a guy I've been following for eight years now and you can say he's my idol too, he's fulfilling my dream and making movies with his best friends and they are smart, bold, funny, original, but most of all with heart (I think Phillipe is a movie nut like me and I respect him for what he's doing for the movie world and for France). Superwho? is arguably their Avengers film and the best film of the bunch (the rest are also borderline 8-9/10 though) – by the way, great timing releasing this film at the time of the new Batman. The main character is a not very successful actor who accidentally comes to star in the new Badman movie. He has a car accident and wakes up with lost memory in a batmobile, a batsuit and a bag full of money, all indicating that he is a real superhero. The premise is presented in a very clever and entertaining way, and Phillipe has incredible timing throughout the film. It's packed with jokes from the first minute to the end (downright roaring and crying, I stress!), there are countless easter eggs and references (maybe even more than in Ready Player One). You can see the director has really studied movies, and there are not only references to Marvel and DC, but also to other movies (The Intouchables 2 Lol). There are also a lot of politically incorrect references to other things (illegal immigrants, burned-down Rotterdam and Alec Baldwin, and the prop gun), it got me. Of course the action works too (the Batman vs Joker knife fight is excellent). The cinematography is great, with playful slow motion, it has a European feel and swing and elegance. As if that weren't enough, the emotions and dramatic moments work as well (the scene with the father is really great), and of course there is also great music (as soon as the Marvel theme song started playing, I had tears in my eyes), but the main themes eof Guardians of the Galaxy and KickAss are good, too (not to mention Survivor from Tomb Raider!). And yes it's also packed with intelligent and surprising twists. It's unbelievable how someone can cram all the film's ingredients into 90 minutes and present them in such a fresh, clever and compelling way. By the end of the screening I was shaking and crying with happiness and emotion that I had seen a movie with a capital M. I can't have a single complaint about it, but I do believe that for some viewers the humor will be a little too over the line at times (it's unexpectedly morbid and WTF at times, but I welcomed it warmly). I'll be watching this about five times a year. There are so many hidden things, details and little things in this movie that everyone will notice something different and on repeat viewings and feel they are watching it for the first time, which is great! Excellence. Story 5/5, Action 4/5, Humour 5/5, Violence 2/5, Fun 5/5 Music 5/5, Visuals 5/5, Atmosphere 4/5, Suspense 4/5, Emotion 4/5, Actors 5/5. 10/10 (04/06/2022) (less) (more)
