Graine de héros

I really like'd this. I suspect that they are mutants since, 1.They have super powers without an explination, 2.You can't have powers after 14, most mutants get theur powers around 12 or 13. I loved the villain but he should've had a codename, but the sequel should have a villain with powers(I think they should get their powers by acciendent and the movie be their origin story).

This is by far the most lethargic Disney movie I have EVER seen! Nothing in this film seems to coincide with the story. There was one since (out of the seemly endless array of idiocy in this film) that strikes my thoughts moreover… When Jim/Bronze Eagle (Robert Townsend) and Judy/Warrior Woman (Alex Datcher) are watching the news over the Bank Robbery they saved, you can see their faces close up and hear the folks in the background talking capriciously, while at the same time both "superheros" were talking about why one another were "late." My question is, "didn't anyone hear those people?" at the same time while watching this, the character Bronze Eagle says, "Honey I think we need new head-shots the photographer called." Okay, "numbers are listed." There are so many moments in this film that make you wonder "how in the world did they get the founds to make it?" In the beginning of the movie, they wanted to show that "tinfoil" is their "super" weakness. They prattle on and on about how dangerous it is to be near it and to even touch it…yet in the beginning they are within two feet or even one foot away from it without any ominous happenings. Near the end of the film they appear to get perennially weaken by it (till someone intervenes, of course) at the LEAST 10 feet away.

Don't watch this movie. Don't waste your time. Instead, why not water the glass. Believe me there is more "superness" out of watering the glass, hell why not even dress up for it… make it fun!

One of the more mediocre projects to come out of the Disney studios is Up Up And Away, a story about a normal kid who can't quite fit in with his family of superheroes. This same premise was put to better use in the film Sky High that starred Kurt Russell which was also for the Magic Kingdom.

In fact even more to the point I saw this plot also used in Saved By The Bell where Zack uses subliminal advertising in a music tape to get his woman Kelly. Here the villain is science teacher Kevin Connolly who is getting the kids at his high school to commit crimes on his behalf.

Robert Townsend and Alex Datcher are the parents of young Michael Pagan who if he's going to be a superhero should get his superpowers by puberty. He's got an older brother and a younger sister with same, talk about a competitive family.

Sherman Hemsley is in the cast as the grandfather of the superhero clan, imagine George Jefferson with superpowers that have gone a bit rusty and you have the Hemsley character.

It's really not worth wasting your time with.

This movie was okay, but it could have been better. It was a little short in my opinion, didn't really have in depth detail about their families & friends, but other than that, this film is fun and worth watching. I liked the music in this, and the way that the surrounding was so comforting. It was very neat in many different ways. The only thing that was a little unbelievable is besides the fact that the father can fly, is that the kids don't really look like 8th graders. On this, they look like 6th graders. But you know like in some movies people are always older than they really look. I really think that they should make a sequel to this. It would make the first one twice as popular and it would be something else fun to watch. I give this a 10/10 even with all of those concerns that I have about it. I think everyone should see it!

Before the review, a brief plot summary: The Marshalls are an average family in an ordinary American town with it's own superheroes, Bronze Eagle, Warrior Woman, and Silver Charge. What most people don't know is that Jim Marshall, his wife Judy, and their eldest son Adam are the town's heroes. Their young daughter Molly also has super-powers, mainly laser vision, but thirteen-year old Scott is nearing his fourteenth birthday, after which one cannot recieve superpowers. However, so as to not disapoint Dad (and their visitng grandpa, Steel Condor), he tricks the family into thinking he can fly and has superstrength. Meanwhile, the seemingly innocent "Earth Protectors" which are giving out CDs about the enviroment to the kids in Scott's class, may not have all the world's best intentions in mind.

This film does sound silly and childish. Granted, it's not supposed to entertain adults or recieve an Oscar nomination. But it's really fairly original, showing us all superheroes' weakness: alluminum foil, which alters their structure. The special effects aren't that bad, but the filmmakers respect that and don't exagurate on them.

The cast, while slightly forgettable (except for Sherman Hemsley of "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons") aren't that bad at acting. It's not exactly a riveting potrayl, but it's satisfying. Derek Lee is irritating, but his part is small and not enough to ruin it. Michael J. Pagan does a nice job as Scott Marshall, who is dubbed Warrior Eagle by his parents and does a dorky job at rescuing a woman from a fire. Kevin Conolly was also interesting as the young criminal genious who uses "Earth Protectors" to control minds, against the will of Amy (Jamie Renee Smith), who wants to use the mind control to prevent waste and preserve the enviroment.

Superhero fans might want to watch it for the fun references, i.e. Sherman Hemsley's character Steel Condor's grudge against Superman, Man of Steel, The Green Hornet visiting the Marshalls, etc. In fact, Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman cameo at Scott's birthday party!

Your kids will like it. Don't expect "Batman" or "Robocop", but if you're in the mood for some nice, doesn't-take-itself-seriously entertainment, you might wanna give it a shot, too.
