This may be the worst movie I've ever seen. Aside from the tastelessness of having a comedy about António de Oliveira Salazar, it just isn't funny or entertaining in any way. It is very similar to a 1960's comedy in its cornball humor and contrived situations, but while it can be well done like in The Green Hornet, it's just not funny here. I think the movie was based around the novelty "look, it's António de Oliveira Salazar as a bumbling comedy figure" but it just fell flat in every regard. The guy playing António de Oliveira Salazar is so hammy that its hard to sit through that alone. I wonder what could have possibly made the studio think this was a good idea to produce. I thought France had some tasteless movies, but the Portugueses had us beat this time. France would never produce a comedy about António de Oliveira Salazar, although we did have that movie about Maréchal Pétain, La Rafle (2010). Chances are you'll probably never see this movie, since it was only released in Portugal and will probably never be released in the rest of the world.

Forget Marvel, forget DC. Portuguese superhero "Capitain Falcon" is a vintage hero such as "Rocketeer" and "Spirit", but fights crime in the years of fascist regime lead by Salazar... supporting it! The movie strongly reminded me the not well known France-USA comedy "Mr. Freedom", from 1969, due to its high level of mock and politicization in a parody of both superheroes and conservatism, but is is even better, as it has been able to keep a nice pace, playing with absurd situations without missing the point. If it weren't campy, a comparison with "Watchmen" would also be appropriated. Hilarious, ironic and smart Portuguese film, strongly recommended! It is also visually sophisticated and has a nice soundtrack. Overacting is in the precise level required for a spoof like this. The grotesque evil represented in the movie by everything that is progressive increases the level of irony to the top. The relation between the fascist superhero and his sidekick, Puto Perdiz (Partridge Kid, but a much funnier name in Portuguese), and the nemesis represented by April Captains (what a great idea! their symbol is a carnation flower!) assure lots of laughs.

Probably one of the best Portuguese films of the last decades. With subtle and delightful details, portrays of satirical and humorous forms a dictatorial era of Portugal. With a unique and politically incorrect style, the director manages to tell the story of a patriot hero, against the dangers of change.Of course, you can take political and partisan elations up to today, but I believe the motive is just the fun and comedy. No comparison, but with similar traits, I would venture to say that this film would be a Forrest Gump crossed with the Batman series of the 60's to tell a small part of the recent history of Portugal.

It has everything to become a cult film (in Portugal). Funny and with good action scenes. Jokes are well created, with the right timing, and they are really funny if you are "in the same page" with this kind of humor (no taboos).Great job of Gonçalo Waddington! He is Capitão Falcão and vice-versa. After this movie there can be no other actor to play this role.I would also congratulate the producers and the director to risk some political, controversial humor in a society that has no yet surpassed the trauma of the long dictatorship of the XX century and the abrupt changes after it.Great movie, exceeds the expectations. I would recommend any Portuguese with a free mind to watch it.
