An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.

It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it’s a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

A superpower is granted to three boys, but their significant differences impact its development in them. Or something.

Agencies the world ’round borrow from Nazi experiments to create limited super soldiers, and Steve Rogers Nick Gant is swept up into a conspiracy for American conscripts to free themselves.

Pretty straightforward and interesting; recommended. It unfortunately doesn’t tie itself up neatly.

A boy discovers he has superpowers, uses them for selfish purposes, and makes his life far more complicated.

Straightforward and safe. It has an interesting enough premise, universe, and acting, to carry it well enough. Worth the watch.

A mad scientist comes to collect an animal experiment, but it is sentient and has friends.

Pretty good. I feel like I missed a couple of movies explaining what the hell was going on with some of it, but it’s still watchable.
