Years ago, a city was shaken by two super-brothers having a super-spat, but their legend lives on in a gang whose leader wants to continue the fight.
It’s not particularly superhero and doesn’t really establish any sort of franchise. It’s not bad, and it’s not great; it’s just fine. It’s vanilla, and sometimes that’s just what you want.
A single woman gets hurt on-screen and a single woman dies off-screen; equality!

Stuff and a guy does things and there’s a guy who likes riddles for some reason.
Nothing is explained. This is about as interesting as it’s color scheme.

A boy, with the superpower to become invisible yet can’t find anything better to do than cheat on his math homework, learns that his super soldier parentage has unresolved history.
Nowhere near as good as the first.

Although a boy discovers he can become invisible, he also discovers a secret history (and puberty).
Adorable from so many perspectives. Recommended!

An unknown event gave alternate-past Victorian Londoners a random superpower, and their numbers became pronounced enough to attract the attention of worried politicians. Or something.
Really interesting! I guess it’s worth watching, but it slide sideways and got too strange to follow. It really needed more seasons to figure it’s shit out, but the woke brigade MeToo-dogpiled Joss Whedon without evidence so he got shunned.

Some idiots go grave robbing to protect a thing, leading bad guys there to steal the thing, then a worse guy shows up, then assholes some fight instead of talk, and there is some dialog throughout and with all the action and dead men, no women are even hurt; equality!
Meh. Big fucking meh with a weak script, acting, story.. everything is just weak.

The gods are real and deposited horrifying trinkets, one of which falls into the hands of a ne’er-do-well who abuses it to the great misfortune of everyone.
God damn Gal Gadot is beautiful. Also there is a movie which isn’t half bad.

A NEET dies but finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, where he grows into with the competence and usefulness that he ought to have been working for in his previous life.
Starts strongly, but really spirals down into pulp crap. Still perfectly watchable overall. Recommended even for people who don’t like this sort of entertainment but like the sword-and-sorcery topic in general.
Watched at the end of 2022; no notes were taken.
Inspired by Mushoku Tensei – (2012 book), by Rifujin na Magonote

A veteran mercenary is double-crossed and finds himself blacklisted into becoming a general in hell’s army.
This is a very high low-budget movie. It’s over-the-top, corny but only almost-fun. Some of the effects are amazing, but some are so damned bad I can’t imagine how they thought this could be anything more than a middling success. From a writing perspective, it’s not bad moment-to-moment, but the overall plot is a bit stupid.
This has nothing going for it but the incredible acting of a clown.
