Superhero Movie


With the launch of the DVD, I figured I ought to review this great spoof movie!


I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the recent "Disaster Movie" and it's a sure recommend for anyone looking fora good laugh.


The movie is basically a spoof of the Superhero genre as a whole and in particular of Spiderman! extremely funny for a fan of superhero movies!


I was laughing throughout the movie, even on my second viewing! And I rarely find silly jokes funny, but this movie is a pure gem!


I guess I'm giving it a few too many good points, but my only basis of comparison is with Disaster Movie, which really does not kick up much of a fight.


In reality, I can't say much about the movie, but it will certainly attract those that are fans of the superhero genre and also people that are just generally out for a good laugh!


So I'll certainly recommend this movie, but please don't expect anything too intellectual!


Movie Rating: 8.75/10

Disaster Movie


Was Disaster Movie really a disaster?


I've heard a few reviews calling Disaster Movie a real disaster... But I'm not going to be quite so harsh... It should really appeal to the geater part of movie goers as it spoofs off most the good movies over the past year!


References to 10,000 BC, Wanted, even Highschool Musical and Hannah Montana make their appearance, not to mention all our Superheros of the year, including: Batman, Iron Man, Hulk, Hancock, and Hellboy. A couple other cool characters make their appearance: Juno and Gizzelle from Enchanted... So really why did this movie not take off so well?


I have only watch one other of their movies: Superhero Movie, so I'm not really one for the comparisons, but I must say this one wasn't quite as good as the previous Superhero Movie... (perhaps there's just too many songs in this movie...)


But I must say I found it quite amusing how they used Hellboy (and Prince Caspian).


So my verdict is: it's a pretty fun watch for someone that's kept up with movies in the past year, but if not... you may find it slightly tedious.


It's funny in parts


too much singing


no storyline to talk of


That just about sums it!


Movie Rating: 6.75/10
