Superhero Movie (2008)

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This one is spoofing a lot on the Spiderman franchise as well plenty from every other superhero movie. Rick Riker (Drake Bell) is the geeky student. He is infatuated with fellow student Jill Johnson (Sara Paxton). Trey (Kevin Hart) is his best friend. They go to Lou Landers (Christopher McDonald)'s labs on a school excursion. There he is bitten by a mutant dragonfly. He lives with his uncle Albert (Leslie Nielsen) and aunt Lucille (Marion Ross) since he lost his parents.There are a lot of bad spoof movies these days. This one is the best of a bad lot. At least it's actually following a functional superhero movie story. And the best thing may be that it has Leslie Nielsen. Nobody can tell a deadpan joke quite like him. He still hits it out of the park time and time again. Drake Bell is not necessarily a good actor and the movie suffers because of him. It comes close but it's not good enough to recommend. The classics are still unsurpassed.

my first review so sorry if its not good. This movie got some laughs from me and I think was actually an alright storyline and plot. Considering most spoof/parody movies this one was good compared to some others I have seen that are just plain stupid and have no point. This movie I can only watch a few times and not very often like most spoofs they get annoying after a couple of watches. In this spoof you can actually tell what movies they are doing a spoof of and even though the scenes are stupid they aren't as stupid as most spoof movies that you can get annoyed at them. I would recommend this movie to people who like silly and spoof movies. I personally give this movie a 5 out of 10

Superhero Movie is very odd. Anyone who's seen these Scary Movie spin offs where the movie is a series off topical jokes relating to a movie genre know that they have not been too good lately. This movie surprised me with the fact that I laughed much more than I thought I would. There was a lot of dumb moments that kind of spoil it but I guess it might just be for a different crowd.There are a few well written jokes, and a couple of decent acting jobs. Kevin Hart was funny as always. Leslie Nielsen was a little on the slapstick side but brought his famous personality to it. Sara Paxton almost seemed to pretty and took the movie very seriously. She almost seemed like she was playing an actual part in a hero movie.The real flaws of this movie are when it lulled with sad attempts at jokes and poorly executed goofy moments. Almost every movie in this line has those attempted goofy moments that the self assigned mature audience will dislike, but even some dumb moments made me laugh.I would recommend Superhero Movie to anyone who enjoys comedy and doesn't mind a bunch of moments where the movie lags into dumb comedy.

I've got to say that despite what most people reviewed this movie as i found it very entertaining although i can definitely see why this would get low ratings for cheap humor (not that i totally disagree with that) but still despite the cheap humor me and my friend found ourselves laughing very hard at the jokes. If someone asked me to compare this to another comedy i'd compare it to airplane, anyone who has seen airplane can understand this review, its basically very random jokes that are funny but had nothing to do with each other, which brings me to reviewing the plot which without the humor gets like -1 stars but still i give this movie such a high rating mainly because of the way it caused me and my friend to laugh really hard.
