    A fun gay comedy for any adult

    Yeah, this is bound to upset some yahoos, promoting a society that accepts LGBQT, but it is actually quite smart and very funny in its approach to the superhero genre while making a social commentary that's rarely hit-over-the-head level. As an ally, I laughed through most of it, and nodded my head in others in agreement. So worth a viewing. There is some male nudity, so keep the kids away if you must, but if your sense is an open-minded one, gay or straight, there is a lot to enjoy here. Even if you're Canadian (if you see the film, you'll understand what I mean).

    Like getting your "funny-bone" removed with a hack-saw

    Let's be clear; with a title containing the word "Dynastud" you automatically have to assume this is just going to be either laughably campy or just plain bad...this was definitely the latter. In fact, the ONLY thing remotely funny about this movie is seeing the 10-star reviews here...as if they aren't part of/related to the film-makers or cast. Bad plot (assuming this actually passes for one), horrible dialogue (most of the actors have their lines dubbed over for some odd reason...was that part of the "comedy" or just low-budget audio...will we ever know?), family wedding-style video editing and absolutely nothing going for it whatsoever.

    Hilarious from start to finish.

    You know how Mel Brooks makes fun of Hitler? Well, enter Richard Griffin against MAGA.

    A Fun Time with something different.

    Better than average campy fun movie. As someone earlier mentioned, think of a James Bond movie done by a collaboration of Mel Brooks & the Broken Lizard folks. The acting was decently accomplished, particularly by the two leads. There was full frontal nudity which wasn't titillating and I suppose would turn some off. If there was one thing that turned me off it was the impression that the entire movie was dubbed.

    Good heart, Great comedy, but lacks some quality.

    If you sat through the first 15min then keep watching!

    I'll start with what I didn't like: first off I could say it appears to be done on a micro-budget, as it lacks quality, and special effects are often bad.

    Then the plot isn't the greatest, as it seems another movie making fun of other hyped movies, or exaggerating situations nearly to a ridicule. The acting in some parts looks more like a theatre play than an actual movie, I didn't like the whole cast, but some did do well in their parts. Soundtrack also could have been improved, although I was surprised and amused on a few instances.

    Said all of this, the good: it's a GREAT smart comedy, and if you are not easily offended, you will likely laugh your ass off in several occasions! Also, it's a critic to some of today's issues and overall social problems, and transmits a message of acceptance and tolerance very much needed in today's world.

    Overall a movie to watch when you need to relax and improve your mood.
