Super Hero Movie Doesn't Suck


There are a lot of people who like the forced setups, obvious jokes, double entendres, physical slap stick and third grade "toilet humor" of films like those in the "Scary Movie" series. I reluctantly admit, I am one of those people. I have always liked the ultra stupidity and cheep laughs of films like "Airplane," "Top Secret" and "Naked Gun." They have been a guilty pleasure of mine over the years. "SuperHero movie" doesn't disappoint in this vain. Writer Director Craig Mazin, who brought us Scary Movie 3 and 4, once again returns to the big screen with this, the latest spoof of the many Super Hero movies so unceremoniously cranked out in the past few years. He directs a familiar cast of Leslie Nielson, Christopher McDonald, Brent Spiner, Tracy Morgan and Nicole Sullivan just to name a few. Mazin's parodies of "Spiderman," Tom Cruise, the "X-Men" and the "Fantastic Four" were priceless. Although the comedy was predictable and some of the laughs forced, my whole family and I really enjoyed it from start to finish. In hind sight I am glad we saw this one at one of the last remaining drive-ins around today, because otherwise we would have been kicked out for laughing, talking and just having a marvelously boisterous time together at the movies. I highly recommend this one if you are a fan of the aforementioned type of movies, otherwise you will probably hate it and want your money back.
