Superhero Movie , a review by Dragonfire

Superhero Movie Spider-Man, X-Men and the Fantastic Four will never be the same after this outrageously funny spoof of your favorite comic book movies! Drake Bell (Drake & Josh) stars as a nerdy high school student bitten by a genetically-altered dragonfly. He stumbles hilariously through the process of becoming a crime-fighter and as his powers grow, so do the laughs. Sara Paxton (Aquamarine) and Christopher McDonald (Spy Kids 2) costar as the clueless damsel in distress and the comically intense super villain, along with Pamela Anderson and Leslie Nielson. Going from superzero to superhero has never been this much fun! My Thoughts I'll just start by saying that I know some will probably doubt my sanity over this one.  But in my defense, this is loads better than Date Movie and Epic Movie.  That doesn't mean that this is a great movie, but it manages to be entertaining.  The spoof stuff works better in this one instead of just seeming like a bunch of random references thrown together in with a nonexistent plot.  This one sticks to superhero movies, and more specifically, Spider-Man.  The main plot is clearly pulled from Spider-Man, though there are also references to X-Men and Fantastic 4 as well as Batman.  I think a big reason why the movie is entertaining is because some restraint was shown instead of throwing in references to every superhero movie ever made into the movie.  Most of the humor is silly and not all of it works, but there are funny moments in the movie.  Some of the humor is a bit gross, but thankfully not that much of it.  There is a bit of action to what is going on which does help to make things interesting.  The violence is rather mild.  Some of the lines are very suggestive and had to have played a big part in the movie being rated PG-13.  The characters are all right without being anything special.  Uncle Arthur and Aunt Lucille are my favorites, though it is really odd to me to hear Marion Ross saying some of those lines.  I still think of her as Mrs. Cunningham. The plot isn't the most original since so much of it is pulled from Spider-Man.  Even with that basis, the plot is still a bit weak.  The characters are pretty flat, though a few of them are interesting.  Despite the flaws, the movie is entertaining.

My Thoughts:
After watching this movie I can say... Finally, an Incredible Hulk movie that is worthy of the title! It seems like everything the first Hulk movie did wrong this one did right. The story is ten times better... the special effects are much better... as are the actors. The fight between The Hulk and Abomination  was great... lasted just long enough. Some of these movies tend to extend that final fight longer then it should be.

An episode I never really enjoyed that much. I always thought that Gunn is a boring character. And I don't know why they had to bring a character "from the street" into the mix.
