Wow! As others have noted, one starts watching a detective movie with only moderate expectations, as its Trakt rating does a beautiful job of disguising this terrific superhero film. Several really good jokes which hit the target if you know España. Well made; it's not up to the big budget Hollywood superhero films, but for a medium budget film it's absolutely fine. Excellent story (the villain is unknown before he's revealed) and a message which is so true for modern Spain. Excellent soundtrack befitting this genre. Loved it!

curious mix of Seven + The big bang theory that is well made and carried, although its final part squeaks me a bit

Like your friend's favorite comic that they beg you to read: it's not earth shattering but you saw what they see in it.

A cop, a young, vulgar, cosplay fan police chief and Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons are on the trail of a super villain recreating hero origin stories in Madrid.

There are no real surprises, but it looks good and feels good and sometimes that's sufficient for more than just shoes.

The beginning is interesting but little by little the film is falling apart and the characters are less and less credible and in the end it is totally nonsense

[Netflix] That the author of the original novel is in charge of adaptation to movie can be positive or negative. On a base that already seems scarce, the film is built by creating a story that pays homage to superheroes with little success. References to the comics can be understood, but some characters (the chief inspector) and a third act totally devoted to the identity of the comic end up succumbing to ridicule.
