better than expected, 13 October 2008
4/10
Author: disdressed12 from Canada

i had low expectations for this movie,so i was surprised when it turned out to be better than i thought.it wasn't great or anything,but there were a few chuckles,and i even laughed out loud twice.still,to me,this movie would have worked better as a straight movie.it was certainly entertaining,and,except for all the fart jokes,it didn't reach into the bottom of the barrel for laughs.as spoofs go,this was probably middle of the road fare.not great,but not torturous,either.would i watch it again?i think so,if i had nothing better to do.the running time,without credits,is about 75 minutes,so,even if you hate it,you'll only lose 75 minutes of your life.for me,Superhero movie is a 4/10
