    Nice comedy

    This film is very French both in humor and in directing and scripting choices, there are enough cute scenes that make the film an immense parody also quite funny, in conclusion it is a normal comedy even if a bit mundane.

    Worth watching

    I watched hundreds of movies of all sorts of genres. I never written a review so far on imdb.

    But this movie was AMAZING. Had me laughing 90% of the movie.

    So i had to leave a review to recommend it.

    What a fun ride

    Yes, it is in French and I had no idea what they were saying, found some subtitles to go with it and that helped, heaps, for me anyway.

    This is a rather funny and well done comedy-spoof of some of the super hero movies that have been around lately. I wish that I had seen this earlier. I've only recently start watching non-English movies, with subtitles - I guess there's a few to catch up on.

    Surprisingly, Philippe Lacheau, Wrote, directed and starred in this and did a fantastic job, in my opinion, it is rare that combination works. Well done.

    If you enjoy a spoof, then you will get your fix without it being too much. I would recommend this.

    Don't watch the trailer but watch the film

    If you're in the mood for a fun comedy flick then "Superwho?" might be a great choice. It's got all the necessary elements to make it a parody of the superhero genre (the Spider-Man upside-down kiss scene will stick with you forever), a complete disregard for the establishment (sexual jokes abound), and actually working as a superhero movie at the same time.

    It also manages to entertain via its courageous way of approaching topics that are generally frowned upon in modern cinema, and the casting is one of the most likable sets of people I've ever seen. Oh, and Élodie Fontan is hot as hell!

    In short, this is a French movie that just works very well, despite the fact that you (and I) don't speak this language. Why not watch the trailer, then? Because it spoils a few of the great jokes that could have hit way harder if I, for one, have not witnessed them prior to seeing it in the cinema.

    A great movie

    I have seen the trailer before watching this movie and believe me is it was enough to realize how much this movie is funny , exciting , and full of surprises . This movie is definitely one of the best in its genre . A lot of fun , jokes , and entertainment .

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie was shot during the summer (of 2021), so Philippe Lacheau dreaded the scenes in full costume, as the Badman suit is heavy and thick. To make it bearable, the crew resorted to putting cold chamois leather inside the suit during shooting.
