Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

capone666 Mystery MenWhen assembling a superhero team remember to get membership fees upfront.Not to say all caped crusaders are cheap, but the ones in this comedy sure are.With Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear) keeping Champion City crime free it leaves little for other heroes like Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller), The Shoveler (William H. Macy) and The Blue Raja (Hank Azaria) to do. That is until Captain Amazing disappears and his old rival (Geoffrey Rush) reappears.Now the second-stringers must expand their roster to thwart the villain and save the city.Twenty-years too early, this lampoon of comic book troupes would be at home in today's movie market more than 1999's. However, that doesn't stop this adaptation of the underground comic from being a hilarious critique of super-teams that still holds true.Incidentally, one surefire way of getting yourself on the Justice League is by having the same blood type as Batman.

Jerghal The scale of bad movies is so vast it is sometimes difficult to keep a clear perspective. But I must say this film must be one of the worst, if not THE worst movie I ever saw. I bet even the Star Wars Christmas Special is hardly worse than this.What is truly enraging is that someone (or something) authorized to spend 65m$ on this crap. AND lots of big name actors (Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Janeane Garofalo, Paul Reubens, Greg Kinnear, Geoffrey Rush, Eddie Izzard, Claire Forlani, Tom Waits, Ricky Jay and Lena Olin) committed to this 'project'. Why? Can someone explain that to me. It must be some sort of large scale blackmail operation where they had some incriminating stuff on all these actors, no-one in their right mind would willingly want to be in this film if they read the script.Everything is terrible: the plot, the VFX are sh1t, the production design has horrendous colors and everything looks plastic and cardboard. The acting is so awful all the razzies handed out in the history of the razzies would still not be able to cover it. It is supposed to be a comedy, but there is NOTHING funny in this movie, nada. You probably don't believe me. Heck I thought 54.000 people gave it a 6/10 on IMDb, it must be okay at least. Well it's not. The film lasts an incredibly long 2 hours during which you will feel like you're dying. I literally got a headache from this film. Some of these scenes you can't begin to describe. It's an insult to the art of filmmaking. I kept staring at the screen in disbelief! I wonder if kids would like this but I wouldn't recommend showing it to them. I'm sure it will cause some sort of long term brain damage.I challenge you to see it. It's not one of those 'it's so bad it's good' films. It's just bad through and through. There are no redeeming qualities, nothing. Look, if you seen it and liked it, leave me a PM and explain it to me. I really would like to know what there is to like. You've been warned! Save 2 precious hours of your life and enjoy your time on this planet instead of p1ssing it away on sh1t that should never have been.

the_winch2001 I am spinal injuredI saw this when I was younger and thought it was incredibly stupid. I thought that over time I had become more accepting of slapstick films and gave it another try..... No, I was right the first time. Horrible. It has a couple of clever lines but immediately in the first scene of the film you start to wonder if the writer(s) were still in middle school. The jokes are often random and go off on a tangent. I suffered through it hoping it might end with at least one good laugh. I felt so bad for leaving this on while my wife was in the room I immediately cooked her dinner and dessert and admitted that it was truly one of the most painful films i've ever seen (up there with catwoman i'd say). On the upside if you like movies like "dude, wheres my car" and "spy kids", then you'll love this heaping pile of dung.

garthfromrenton If ever there was a candidate for a movie with hidden messages, this is it. Mystery Men is an (alleged) allegorical masterpiece disguised as a campy send-up of an obscure independent comic book series. (see: Flaming Carrot). All the characters and situations symbolically represent aspects of society and the world today. This movie has developed a cult following since it's 1999 release even though it was considered a box office flop. It has an impressive, star-studded cast (Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Paul Reubens, Geoffrey Rush, Eddie Izzard, etc...) and numerous crazy scenes (like the superhero try-out party with Dane Cook) which are a joy to behold. So even if you've seen the movie before, watch it again and look for all the hidden symbolic meanings. You will be amazed! (HINT: Captain Amazing, who's secret identity is billionaire 'Lance Hunt represents America and the villainous 'Red-Eyes' represent 'communism'.)
