    Funny movie

    Fast paced, funny, very entertaining! If you want to laugh at stupid jokes and absurd situations, you have to watch this movie. It even has some unexpcted plot twists. The soundtrack is nice too!

    Disappointing after a very promising trailer

    I was genuinely hoping for a cool funny movie after seeing the trailer, but it has turned out to be a complete flop. Out of all the jokes (or should I call them attemps at being jokes) only about three were funny. Oh and the music sucks, seriously, just turn down the volume when the music is played, you'll do yourself a favour.

    Unfinished

    Some good jokes, with both Edouard Baer and Thomas N'Gijol. But the film seems unfinished.

    Good idea but badly directed, played and not funny at all

    Creating a black superhero in the 70s, with a political point of view, was a very nice idea. Unfortunately, nothing goes right in this movie. Nothing is funny, the acting is very poor with almost all actors, direction is very bad and it is full of not funny vulgar jokes... Too bad because Thomas N'Gijol is usually very good .. I don't understand how they have made such an unfinished movie.

    Black Prout

    I really wanted to enjoy this because I like Thomas N'Gijol on stage, but... it seems to lack some work to make a real movie. A few (rapid) smiles but it definitively misses the point. I hope the next one will be better.
