Superhero Movie

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Superhero Movie delivers jokes so rapidly in it’s first half that you almost forget how good a time you’ve had after a slower ending.

What makes Superhero Movie particularly interesting is that it was written and directed by only one person, much unlike the Scary Movies, which all took 3 - 6 writers to complete.

Craig Mazin mostly succeeds with his particularly irreverent brand of humor, and this is notable considering that he is spoofing material that doesn’t exactly lend itself to parody.

Sure, I could find some things to complain about (the hit-and-miss humor becomes a little tired), but the bottom line is that this movie is still immeasurably better than what the spoof genre has been putting out lately (Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans…).

If you’re looking for a good time and more than a fair share of big laughs this is for you.

After being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high school loser Rick Riker develop superhuman abilities like incredible strength and armored skin.

Rick decides to use his new powers for good and becomes a costumed crime fighter known as “The Dragonfly.”

However, standing in the way of his destiny is the villainous Lou Landers.

After an experiment gone wrong, Lou develops the power to steal a person’s life force and in a dastardly quest for immortality becomes the supervillain, “The Hourglass.” with unimaginable strength, unbelievable speed and deeply uncomfortable tights,

have fun! ;) magic
