Show more >> Supacell attempts to blend the superhero spectacle with a personal story, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. While the premise of ordinary people discovering their powers is intriguing, the execution feels a bit muddled at times. The film starts strong, with some engaging character moments, but as the plot progresses, it begins to lose focus. There are certainly some standout performances, particularly from the lead, who carries the emotional weight of the narrative. However, the pacing drags in places, making it feel longer than it should. Despite its flaws, there are moments of genuine charm and humour that make it a decent watch, especially for fans of the genre. Show less
