I don't often write a review, unless I feel compelled to do so, and this is one of those times.
Despite the critical acclaim, took me until 2020 to get around to this. For some reason, it just didn't really appeal to me before.
Anyway, the movie was beautifully shot and the acting was terrific, I was pleasantly surprised by Zack GalfianakisGalfianakis in a not mature role.
As I started watching this, I thought I'd have loved it and expected a certain type of story, but it didn't deliver. Too many sub plots opened then abandoned instead of being explored, and the whole super powers thing. I get that he played a Superhero in the past, but why did it seem like he had the powers in the real world? Then it seemed like the movie was changing from "a movie about an actor who played a Superhero" to a Superhero movie (with a scene reminiscent of the battle of New York in Avengers". At one point I thought, maybe the events were his imagination or a dream, but this wasn't explained.
All in all, I found this to be a decent movie to watch if you've got a couple of hours to spare, but not the MUST - SEE it could have been.
