I sat down to watch the 2020 French movie "Comment je suis devenu super-héros" (aka "How I Became a Superhero") here in 2021. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to stumbling upon it. And seeing it being an action comedy then I was interested in watching it.
And I managed to endure a bit more than one hour of what director Douglas Attal delivered here with this movie. Then I was just good and ready to quit on the movie, because the storyline was very slow paced, and the character gallery was about as interesting as watching the wind moving the clouds around.
Whatever writers Cédric Anger and Douglas Attal were trying to accomplish here with the script and storyline for "How I Became a Superhero", then it just simply fell short of providing me with much of any entertainment or enjoyment. The movie was just too uneventful and mundane for me.
The character gallery in the movie were bland. So horribly, horribly bland. I am sure that the actors and actresses in the movie were putting on good performances, but the characters and material they had to work with from the script was just rubbish.
Visually then "How I Became a Superhero" was actually quite good. And I am sure that if you are a fan of the superhero genre, then there are things to be enjoyed here. But since I am not overly keen on the superhero genre really, this movie was just a swing and a miss for me.
My rating of the 2020 movie "How I Became a Superhero" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
