This a classic retelling of Irving Washingtons "The Headless Horseman" story. William H. Macy as Icabob Crane was a darn good choice in my opinion because he actually sounded like the way I always visulized Crane sounding like. I love computer animation too but this piece felt a bit awkwardly put together to me. It was like they never really took the time to place the body movements of the chracters in a beat that matched the pace their voices were going. Their mouths weren't moving at the pace their voices were going either. This the only real problem I have with this little movie. Otherwise it's pretty good. They background was dark and convincing, but wasn't designed to scare little children off. I give this movie a 8 out of 10.

Let me just start out with saying that this movie is one of those movies that, well, you actually need your brain for. Unlike "Something About Mary", where you can walk into a theater and leave your brain in the lobby for two hours, yet it's not like "The Bat Man" series where your mind is seriously over worked why you figure plot out. With Mystery Men you need to think but not to much about what's going on. But it's horribly funny! It's got to be the funniest movie I saw since "GhostBusters" or "The Zero Affect". The cast worked beutifully as the characters they got.

Ben Stiller worked perfectly as "The ticking time bomb of terror" Mr. Furious. Janeane Garaflo is brilliant as the sarcastic The Bowler. Hank Azaria as the Blue Raja was great with his corny British accent and silverware flinging. William H. Macy was great as the down to earth Shoveler. And the rest of the cast was great to. If your into pure smart, witty, comedies that actually has a plot, characters you can care about, and things that you can think about during the movie this is the flick for you. In fact I'm going to see it again. I give this movie a 10 out of 10.
