Reviews
Alter Egos received mixed reviews upon its release, garnering a 5.2/10 rating on IMDb that reflects viewers' divided opinions. Critics praised the film for its indie charm and creative approach to the superhero trope, highlighting Kris Lemche's earnest performance and the movie's humorous dialogue. For instance, some reviewers appreciated its clever, low-budget take on the genre, noting it as "a refreshing, character-focused story that doesn't rely on blockbuster effects." However, others found the pacing uneven and the plot somewhat predictable. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film does not have a critical consensus but resonates more with audiences who enjoy offbeat superhero narratives. Metacritic scores are limited, but available feedback suggests the film's appeal is mostly niche, appealing to viewers looking for a quirky indie comedy rather than mainstream superhero action. Overall, Alter Egos stands out for its unique voice and charm but may not satisfy those expecting a typical high-octane superhero film.
