Superhéroes: la película

Watching Superhero Movie feels like you're re-watching one of the Naked Gun movies, only there are "deleted scenes" which unfortunately feature pop culture references and fart jokes. It's a fun movie if you're into the genre but overall falls far too short of being as good as the classics.

The cast is great for the material they're working with, with some exceptions being those who are given too little screen time to show their talents. Musician/actor Drake Bell's comedic timing is impressive, as is that of spoof legend Leslie Nielsen.

The humor, a combination of slapstick, wordplay and sex/toilet humor, is hit and miss, but hits more often than one would think. The spoofs range from clever to cringe-worthy, but the story and resultant gags follow the source material (mostly 2002's Spider-Man) very well, as opposed to the "Hey, look! It's -insert character- from -insert popular movie-!" style other recent spoofs have adopted. The only roadblocks are the childish fart jokes (one of which spans minutes) and dated pop culture references (Tom Cruise? Barry Bonds? Really?).

It's due to all of this that the movie, although flawed, can appeal to fans of any kind of spoof movie, be it twenty years old or two. It's also able to fulfill the expectations of the average moviegoer while giving some clever surprises to those who don't see them coming. Simply put, if you're a fan of any type of comedy, there's bound to be something in this joke-a-second spoof for you.

Movies like Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans, Scary Movie, and Date Movie are all parodies of other films, and they do a great job at it. If you plan to watch any of these movies, make sure you've seen the movies they're spoofing first. Only then can you truly enjoy them.

These parodies don't have their own original storylines, so understanding them without watching the original movies is tough. I'm tired of people giving these films bad reviews simply because they don't get the context. They're just bigger-budget parodies, and that's the whole point.

For Superhero Movie, for example, just watching Spider-Man should be enough since most of its story references that film. So, give these movies a chance and enjoy them for what they are. Hope this helps!

I really liked this one. I wasn't expecting much, being worn out on spoof movies lately because of the layer of crap that's been dropped on us, the movie-going public. "Epic Movie","Date Movie","Meet the Spartans" all sucked.

That being said, the people who made this, made the latter-day Zucker- styled comedies(a la Airplane, The Naked Gun) Scary Movie 3 & 4, and not those other "Movie" movies (which are the domain of Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer).

There were parts of this movie where I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. And that happens SO rarely with comedies lately. Seriously, I laughed hard.

But, it was one of those things that will entertain but never be a classic you'd bother watching again. It was a bit forgettable in that way.

I had wanted to see this movie for quite some time, and when I finally got the chance, I found that I enjoyed most of it. This movies basically follows the Spider-man movie line by line, with a few deviations leading into the X-men and The Fantastic Four. THe Camera Work was great, and I could tell that they had good directing. Many of the jokes are cheesy, but will still make you laugh. Honestly, don't go into this movie thinking that it's just like Epic movie, Date movie, or Meet the Spartans, it is much better. I personally believe that it is worth the title of Scary Movie successor. Another plus would be the excellent lighting.

Overall, I think it's worth your time, it's got plenty of laughs. I would not suggest it for younger kid's, as several adult content jokes are made.

Okay, I know when it comes to these types of movies, You don't really expect much, You know they have a very bad reputation because the awful Date Movie and Epic Movie and the awfuller Disaster Movie, So I went watching this movie with an open mind and very low expectations.. and let me tell ya, This movie really surprised me...

This has to be one of the funniest parody movies I've ever seen in a long time and believe me I have seen ALOT of them for some reason, It's takes perfect advantage of the medium It's parodying and it takes seriously funny jabs at the tropes and cliches the superhero genre always had..

The movie follow our average awkward every day teenager having troubles confessing his love to his crush until a mutated dragonfly bites him and gives him superpowers (except flying), This (If you didn't notice already) makes fun of the Spider-Man movies (Specifically the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie) and again it takes perfect advantage of that.

This movie is simply hilarious, The humor is ridiculous, fast-paced and dumb but not dumb to the point where you lose interest in the story and characters, Oh yeah and It's crude, I think you've guessed that already if you've watched any of the 'Scary Movie' movies, Seriously not ten minutes into the movie and we see the main character getting humped by a bunch of animals.. Yeah this movie is not for everyone, and of course this movie has alot of these stupid unfunny poop, puke, fart jokes but because of the fast-paced nature of the film you won't get bored, Oh you didn't like this joke, Here's another one, Oh you didn't like that joke, Oh take this one then.

I had such a good time with this one, Great jokes with a lighthearted tone and an amazing cast, Seriously, I didn't expect Leslie Nielsen to be in this movie this much, Like I thought he would be in it for like ten minutes but no, He's actually one of the main characters, That was a pleasant surprise, May he rest in peace..

And the villain is unironically great, Like seriously, Christopher McDonald didn't have to go this hard acting that character, He was seriously great, Like I could see him and his plan in a real superhero movie!

I highly recommend this one, Don't wanna repeat myself too much but yeah, This movie is just dumb fun and that's all I want from a superhero spoof movie, Mostly great jokes with a great cast and not-very-bad special effects, Get some friends, Get some popcorn and enjoy this ridiculous hilarious underrated movie.
