An ordinary high school kid decides to become a super hero.

Unfortunately, it ends up missing its own point. "What if people in real life tried to be super heros?" is a nice idea to explore, but this movie is so cartoonish and completely unbelievable - about the level of realism of Iron Man - it ends up just being a typical mass-produced super hero movie. But it's fun anyway.
