The story of Superman High School is: as an ordinary high school male lead, he awakens his superpowers for friendship, exposes and defeats the conspiracy of evil scientists, and saves the school and his friends.

In fact, there is nothing unexpected about the whole movie. From the gentle eyes of the male protagonist from the beginning of childhood sweetheart Layla, we can see the feelings of the male protagonist; and the forced conflict after the male second warrien appears basically shows that only in the future will only be Become a partner of the male protagonist instead of an opponent. After the president Gwen suddenly appeared in the male lead's house, he could smell some conspiracy. Finally, the president opened the close-up of the album and confirmed some connections with the evil scientist.

From the whole point of view, the conflict between the male lead and the male second is too deliberate; when being chased by the male second, in order to protect his teammates, he suddenly awakens his superpowers, and there is no way before; Qingmei is released by the male lead, and the second male suddenly shows up. Knowing her feelings for the hero, she jumped too fast. The misunderstanding between the male protagonist and Qingmei is resolved in one kiss, ah, the omnipotent Hollywood kiss; the president unmasked the mask at the prom, turning most of the heroes into babies. This film should be a sub-foreign work; fighting scenes It's really bad. I've never seen such a bad action scene. Except for special shots, I thought it was shot in the 1960s if I didn't pay attention. At the end, the hero of the year was handed over to the supporters, and it was completely impossible to feel that the hero behind the scenes was respected and valued.

In short, this is a relaxed and happy campus movie, not bloody and not violent, suitable for watching with children.
