The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Based on IMDb rating and on critics and reviews everywhere, I expected a horrible film, just one more of those awful spoof movies Hollywood produces dozens each year. Well, since its beginning, though, it showed that it would be quite a great surprise. It is campy and silly, off course, and that is not a problem as it is a well made comedy that knows what it does. It is a dark humor parody of famous superhero films and stories such as Batman, Spiderman, X-Men, and Fantastic Four. Most of the jokes are nice (how to say that a film with a "Tom Cruise" sketch like that is bad?!) and I could not avoid but to laugh a lot. Critics are unfair; much worse films (including "serious" superhero acclaimed pyrotechnical crap) receive more favorable opinions, what is hard to understand.

It was perhaps inevitable that with the popularity of superhero movies in the past few years, a comedy spoofing the superhero genre would be made. Oddly, while writer/director Craig Mazin had a number of superhero movies to get inspiration from, for the most part his story is simply a comic look at the first "Spider Man" movie. Mazin does execute the movie with a good swift pace (there's seldom a lull), and with the relentless bombardment of gags, it is inevitable that at least a few are funny. While there are some genuine laughs here, for the most part I didn't laugh that much. There are too many scenes of people being hit and knocked about, which gets tiresome pretty fast. A lot of gags also feel like they were dreamed up and written down before a lot of thought was given to them - thought that would have determined that they weren't funny gags. Also, the amount of scatological gags suggests that Mazin was pretty desperate and couldn't think of more gags concerning superheroes. Not the worst spoof movie that's been made, but it is a big disappointment.

Its probably my #1 favorite parody movie, but its strange because if I'm not mistaking, these are same creators of Epic movie, and Disaster movie! The 2 worst comedy movies ever made! I mean, true, they did make Scary movie, that was pretty good, but they also made the sequels, which kind of sucked. (Except for #2, that was OK too) But strangely enough, Superhero Movie worked so much! I was actually hoping that they would make sequels, and I still kind of do! They have a lot of material to work with, Now with Thor, Captain America, etc, they could make a sequel and still make it a great movie! All the jokes and slapstick are hilarious and it has Drake Bell which is pretty interesting because he was a kids show actor on Nickelodeon at the time, in fact, he promoted this movie on Nickelodeon at one time. So it was pretty cool to see him in the role. I recommend this movie by a longshot, it is a must see for comedy movie fans and comic book movie fans. So check it out!
