Enjoyable take on superhero genre
- Mortal review by WA
Good movie, strong production values, a more real-to-life take on the superhero/Marvel genre, with contemporary social media observations, and a decent ending, leaving scope for a sequel, which, if it comes I would watch.

- Mortal review by WW
a good story, well acted and then unfortunately spoilt bu the typical Americans shooting anything they cant understand, why do they do it in any film involved in, could have been a 5 star excellent film, the Nordics do outstanding programmes and films

Waking up the Gods
- Mortal review by CP Customer
Not sure which came first this movie or the Netflix series Ragnarok, both with central characters with extreme powers, which can do good but which other people either want to harness for their own ends or surpress. The action scenes are good and the visual effects first class, lost its way at about mid point of the film, but saved itself for a spectacular ending!

Disappointingly dull
- Mortal review by Alphaville
Must have been watching a different film from other reviewers. The blurb promises a ‘breath-taking’ origins story about a ‘young boy’ with ‘extraordinary powers’. It isn’t. It’s a plodding drama about a female psychologist who tries to help a man who can make things burn. He’s a sad, sullen victim throughout and much of the script is little more than a two-hander. Occasional simple cgi effects add nothing of interest. Perhaps a bigger budget and a more dynamic director could have done something more with the material, but what’s on screen, despite some nice fjord scenery, is a damp squib.
