MOVIE REVIEW - Superhero Movie

Oh boy, here we go again! Another movie lampooning other movies. Now pencil in Superhero Movie to that list.

We are in the a decade of big blockbuster superhero movies like Spiderman, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and there plenty others, so it was natural that this was in the offing. Filmmakers have been making fun of other movies for years. It goes back 28 years to Airplane!, and comes right up to the latest Superhero Movie.

I would like to tell you about the plot, but there really is none. But here it's okay. These movies seldom screen for critics, and for good reason. The are short, corny, and sophomoric. But I think the movie goer today is on to them. They know that going in, and there's nothing wrong with a silly afternoon at the flicks once in a while.

I have to admit, after Superhero Movie did fairly well at the box office last weekend, I was intrigued enough to use a free movie ticket and a free popcorn voucher and take it in. I wasn't feeling very serious and thought a good laugh might be fun. Well the price was right and the corn was tasty, still waiting on the laughs though.

Superhero Movie is rated PG-13, and deserves very bit of it. One thing too, these lampooney movies are pressing the edge of what is real bad taste, and they are a little more offensive to some than in years past. It will not offend the young target that this movie is made for. Superhero Movie, mindless, sophomoric..but to be expected.
