NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
adonis98-743-186503 Orphaned high school student Rick Riker is bitten by a radioactive dragonfly, develops super powers (except for the ability to fly), and becomes a hero. As a big fan of the Scary Movie Quadrilogy this movie couldn't be more awesome i mean if you loved X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Batman and pretty much every Superhero movie that was released during the early and late 90's but also the early 00's you're definitely going to love this movie as well. It has some terrific cameos, great comedy and the acting was very good plus Leslie Nielsen. (10/10)
govindb121 At first i thought that the movie was stupid but then the movie turned out to be OK.All the jokes in the movie was good and funny but the movie had over jokes which were not needed.Like spider man movie, this guys parents dies and he then lives with his grandparents but unlike spider man movie where the grand dad dies, in this movie the grand mother dies.due To the sick parts and bad language in the movie,the movie is not meant for watching with your parents or with your young brother.like in spiderman movie, when the guy gets bitten and after sometimes when he gets bitten by a dragon fly,everything he touches gets stuck to his hands.Frankly speaking the movie was just like the copy of the spiderman movie except that there are more jokes in this movie compared to spider man movie.
Ratter *Disclaimer: the only reason I watched the film was for Leslie Nielsen. The man is a comedy God and is automatically funny in anything he is in.Superhero Movie, while by no means the worst spoof movie ever made, is still pretty dreadful. It relies far too much on cheap slapstick humour and fart jokes which is a shame as the actual spoof part of the movie had a lot of potential to it, particularly the ending which even managed to achieve some interesting plot elements. There were even a few moments that reminded me of the comedy gold that was Airplane! and the Naked Gun series (although that could have been because the gags were lifted straight from them). In the end though I was more bored than entertained and felt the film dragged on for too long (despite the short runtime of only 70min).I was surprised to see quite a few familiar faces pop up in the movie (Jeffrey Tambor and Kurt Fuller to name a few) and they did a good job of providing some much needed laughs. The main highlight however, as mentioned above, was the comedy wonder-gem that is Mr Nielsen. Don't get me wrong, the material he's given is terrible, but his delivery is so perfect that it gave me an excuse to keep watching. In fact, I would argue that his inclusion alone makes it a film worth watching. I should also mention that Christopher McDonald also plays his part well and is actually a pretty good counter-part to Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborne character from Spiderman.In the end however you are left with a film that has a few chuckles here and there but mostly groans of despair throughout. Stay for Uncle Albert but otherwise seek your laughs elsewhere.
Terry-lee Thurlow (The-Stalingraduates-review) i was surfing through netflix when i came across the aforementioned film, Superhero movie. i remember watching this film a few years back but i barely remembered anything about it. i remembered that the recent 'movie' films have all been disgusting pieces of cinematic Hitler, but i saw that David Zucker of 'airplane' and 'naked gun' fame was directing and it also had Leslie Nielsen, so i set my hopes for somewhere in the middle.The result:It works!! its a recent spoof comedy thats actually worth watching!!granted it still falls into the same trap of making pop culture references, but there aren't enough to make it a total hindrance. it is very hit and miss, but actually hits more often than one would think. Drake Bell's performance was entertaining, but a good portion of his jokes are just looking awkward or disgusted, which once again, is hit and miss. I also enjoyed Leslie Nielsen's performance, but it was sad to see some of the material he had to do, but apart from that his world famous timing is impeccable.overall, when its funny, its pretty damn funny, but when it flops, it really flops. it has the heart of the old spoof comedies which really adds to the film and makes it worthwhile to watch, but don't expect utter genius. put your standards in the middle, put your feet up, grab a beer and a joint and just relax and watch, you'll get more laughs than you'll expect.
