Using *é* (is) removes the speaker’s personal opinion; the sentence becomes a statement of fact rather than a feeling.

Cultural Tip
The adverb *super* is popular among younger Brazilians and in informal media. In formal writing or professional settings you would replace it with *muito* or *extremamente*. Also, Portuguese speakers often soften *acho* with *creio que* or *parece que* when they want to sound less direct.
