July 20, 2009With a different director, this coulda been a contender. It is a flawed masterpiece (that's right, I said the word 'masterpiece' in conjunction with this film). Despite some dodgy editing alongside a director known for making commercials (and it shows!), it actually has many inge...( read more)

July 18, 2009Ohh this is sooo good, before Stiller hit the big time, this is such a good comedy, great cast, great ideas, alittle camp but that just adds to the look and feel. Ever heard of a comic book hero called 'The Tick'?? well this is the closest thing to the live action movie. If you k...( read more)

January 29, 2009The movie has quite a bit of stupid juvenile humor, but also spoofs superhero movies pretty well.

October 24, 2009Mystery Men is a decent parody of super-heroes. It has a decent cast whose bizarre super-powers are really the highlight of the movie. It was funny at times but it wasn't Ben Stiller's best movie by any means.

October 4, 2009One of Ben Stillers best films, before he went all family friendly with the awful Night At The Museum movies. I don't mind sell outs, but try and retain the humour at least.
This film about a bunch of Heroes with totally lame powers is a little slow, but is charming and crass en...( read more) -
September 21, 2009A film based off of a comic book about a group of lame superheros who form a group to save the city's main hero. The film has a great cast and is full of funny scenes. A goofy film that makes fun of comics and the heroes in them. A solid story that works on the big screen. Worth ...( read more)
