    Why people make such movies and to what kind of audiences they're aiming for is still a wonder to me!

    Predictable, idiotic, ridiculous, an IQ offender of a film that nobody needs to see. And for a parody it isn't even remotely funny. Non-original, tiring, poorly acted and directed...just awful. Not even worthy of reviewing...and who the hell is this talentless actor Drake Bell that everyone seems to be idolizing lately?

    Superhero Movie is the living definition of "hit or miss." Parts of it admittedly made me laugh out loud, but for every joke that scored, there were two that didn't.

    Average high school loser Rick Riker (Drake Bell) is in love with his neighbor Jill (Sara Paxton), tormented by bullies, and was recently bit by a genetically-modified dragonfly during a science field trip. Now endowed with superpowers he doesn't understand, Rick assumes the identity of 'The Dragonfly" and attempts to bring justice to Empire City. With the help of his Uncle Albert (Leslie Nielsen) and Aunt Lucille (Marion Ross), Rick learns the meaning of responsibility, but his world changes when the supervillain Hourglass (Christopher McDonald) rises to power, bent on killing the masses to make himself immortal. Superhero is a film that loves when characters pratfall on poop, get dry-humped by animals, or are continually farted upon. That's the spectrum of humor offered here, and the picture is relentless inserting bodily function gags wherever it can, often passing up potential for true parody just to add a fecal punctuation mark where nobody asked for one. The superhero material is quickly secondary to Mazin running around trying to appease kids in the audience with tedious vulgarity. While Spider-Man is the main course of the script, Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, and X-Men are also given their own split-second shots to the chest. The rest of the script is simply overturning pop culture mainstays such as MySpace, ubiquitous iPod usage, and the insanity of Tom Cruise. Leslie Nielson, the one time ultimate spoof-machine, is now reduced to employing necrophilia to garner laughs. He and Ross are certainly game, but the script doesn't allow them to be even remotely amusing. Jeffrey Tambor is a talented guy, and he has isolated moments as a wacked-out doctor. Superhero Movie just never gets going. Too many jokes are dead on arrival, which means a humorous atmosphere never develops.

    I don't even know why I wanted to see this because after watching it I realize that it was an utter waster of my time. It is not even funny in the slightest. It was 10 times better than Meet the Spartans though.
