Also means
tremendous
Usage Note
Formidable in Spanish leans positive — it is commonly used as an enthusiastic 'great!' or 'fantastic!', especially in Spain. This differs from English 'formidable' which usually implies something fearsome or hard to deal with. ¡Formidable! as an exclamation is a direct compliment, closer to 'brilliant!' than 'intimidating'.
Examples
"El concierto fue formidable."
Natural Translation
The concert was tremendous.
