Superhero Movie isn't terrible or even remotely funny.
29 March 2008
Sometimes I have a soft spot for movies like this. I admit I do. But I honestly can't for a millisecond either recommend this to anyone who likes/loves spoof movies or just want a couple of laughs which is a no-brainer as far as comedies are concerned but they could do better than this. To a certain extent, some are willing to give the benefit of a doubt, though mostly squarely on this one because such arguments often warrant it. On the other hand, you could do worse in a much recent AND similar movie like...for example "Meet the Spartans". The less said about that one the better (this is to those who are still reeling from the aftermath of said movie). There are tons of poke-fun-at-moments in Superhero, but they're mainly aimed at Spider-Man; obviously a "revenge" of sorts, especially Spider-Man 3, the only thing in this movie I can give credit for. However, this film, ultimately, is guilty of the usual suspects of its predecessors: Cookie-cutter-comedy syndrome on a conventional level of ordinary American cheese. If you can't see past the truth that is so blatantly in front of you at face value, then you either need glasses or are just out of touch with reality COMPLETELY.
