Although this still falls quite short of "Scary Movie" and "Not Another Teen Movie", this film is a considerable improvement over the shockingly bad other titles in the "....Movie" series. There are still plenty of moments that aren't exactly hilarious, especially the now seemingly tedious black humour shtick which seems to be laced throughout almost every one of the films in this spoof series since "Scary Movie", but overall, there are still several gags that work well. This is partially because of several solid supporting roles and cameos from at least some recognisable films stars.

I felt that the film also worked better than previous titles because it actually focuses on just one film genre, and actually makes a half decent attempt at sending it up.

Overall, another disappointing 21st century spoof, but with enough well played gags to at least give hope that not all is lost for this comedy sub genre.

Not the baddest in from the people of the Scary Movie franchise and The Naked Gun. The Movie is not so bad. I like it. Even though it makes fun of X-Men in it, Drake Bell does a good job in this movie. This is better than Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, and Meet the Spartans, and it is pretty funny with a good plot. I love this movie. It has some good acting.

When I rented this movie, I was worried that it was going to be one of those guilty pleasures that I would regret watching later on. But when I saw it, I was very surprised by one important fact: it was funny! It was actually, genuinely funny! Sure it's a parody of "Spider-man," but it puts a funny spin on the idea of a teenager suddenly getting new superpowers and figuring out how to use them. But more important than simply making fun of the genre, this movie also respects the genre that its spoofing, and the real heart combined with the real laughs that comes from this movie not trying to stretch the jokes too far (it didn't even need to) and put the plot before the laughter, makes this movie both a real funny story, and a very heroic story as well. All of the actors pulled off their roles with perfection, and made this a film worth watching again and again. I highly reccomend it to anyone looking for a good laugh and an exciting time at home. :idea: Enough said! ;)

I expected it to be a movie with like a variety of people, but only one? too common, especially winning a girl's love.

I love some of the physical jokes though, really nice.

The creators of "Scary Movie" and "The Naked Gun" set their sights on the comic book genre in the latest big screen parody "Superhero Movie". After being bitten by a genetically enhanced super dragonfly, high school student Rick Riker (Drake Bell) develops superhuman abilities and learns that with great power comes great responsibility. Rick becomes the masked crime fighter Dragonfly and battles the life-draining villain Hourglass (Christopher McDonald) who seeks to become immortal by killing thousands of people. "Superhero Movie" is a decent spoof of the blockbuster "Spider-Man" franchise and other comic book movies like "Batman Begins", "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men". The 2008 comedy delivers a good dose of sight gags and gross-out humor. The cast also includes Sara Paxton, Kevin Hart, Brent Spiner, Jeffrey Tambor, Marion Ross, Tracy Morgan and Leslie Nielsen. "Superhero Movie" is a fair improvement over such recent lame parodies like "Date Movie", "Epic Movie" and "Meet the Spartans".

Superhero Movie is the first parody in a few years that hasn't left me really pissed off that I just wasted half an hour of my life. After Meet the Spartans I though the genre was dead but Superhero Movie was mildly enjoyable and in some bizzare parallel universe this film can be considered mildly enjoyable. I really don't want to write a full review for this because it's not really worth it, but I am recommending Superhero Movie because it's not that bad and it's only an hour and ten minutes.

  Given the abysmal quality of recent spoof pics, it's saying something that Superhero Movie provides a fairly steady stream of midsized laughs -- and even the 40% or so of gags that just lie there aren't actively painful.

  How can you tell the target age for Superhero Movie is exactly 13 1/2 years? Because most of the jokes are Internet-related.

  The very act of writing critically about Superhero Movie inspires something of an existential crisis -- no one likely to turn out for it is reading this review, and anybody reading this review is probably not inclined to see it under any circumstances.

  Puerile and idiotic it may be, but Superhero Movie is nonetheless smarter than most of its lowbrow brethren in the Hollywood sub-sub-category known as the spoof movie.

  Seems to have been given the comedy equivalent of blood thinner. It has the blazing satirical boldness to skewer the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man -- and, amazingly, not much else.

  What's shocking about Superhero Movie is not that it's been advertised to death on Nickelodeon to impressionable children, but that it's a completely on-the-nose satire of "Spider-Man."

  No real mockery is intended by this harmless, mindless grab bag of slightly used gags, which lampoons some of the conventions of recent comic-book epics and adds the expected staples of juvenile humor: urine, vomit and intestinal gas.

  This abysmal "Spider-Man" satire has more in common with the lamentable spate of "Epic" and "Date Movies" than Zucker and Nielsen's truly funny "Naked Gun" series.
