How I Became a Super Hero is entertaining, funny, and genuinely engaging. Go to Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider 07/28/2021
The Belgian actor and comedian Benoit Poelvoorde is a delight here as Monte Carlo, channeling a pleasantly soused David Niven. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 07/16/2021
How I Became has decent intrigue that turns into explanatory backstory, plus incorporation of the superhero thing to illustrate a psychological gamut... Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 07/14/2021
3/5
While the story itself has its fair share of originality, some of the tropes are way past the point of exhaustion. Go to Full Review Collier Jennings But Why Tho? A Geek Community 07/13/2021
6.5
How I Became A Superhero has an interesting premise that it doesn't seem interested in fully fleshing out, leading to what feels like half a film. Go to Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation 07/12/2021
6/10
While the story does take a bit to develop, the film injects so much life into the final act, and it holds certain moments that allow it to feel fresh. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

adBuryD I 05/23/2024 Engaging. Entertaining. A little slow at the start. And A cool ending. Wish they make a sequel. Fingers crossed! See more michael p 09/04/2023 These "Foreign" made movies are well written and acted. For low budget they produce great special effects. Don't watch them for over the top special effects and glitter. They are becoming a force. Enjoy them. Don't compare them. See more Georgan G 06/10/2023 Interesting to see another country's concept of superheroes. The plot took too long to get going, but by the 2nd half it was quite fun to watch. See more clinton e 04/13/2022 Not perfect but fresh, compares to many lame superhero movies out there See more 08/07/2021 I was kind of surprised at how much I liked this movie. It's a nice take on the Superhero genre. The acting is good, as is the CGI. There's a little humor mixed in with the action. The only fault I have with the film is the way the music and dialog are mixed. In my opinion, the music is unnecessary loud even when there is no need for it. This is a fun movie. See more 07/28/2021 It's alright. Not the usual superhero stuff. See more Read all reviews
