(NOTE: The people behind Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans were NOT at all involved in this film.)Superhero Movie delivers jokes so rapidly in it's first half that you almost forget how good a time you've had after a slower ending. Still, I can say with assurance that you'll get more laughs out of this than any other film currently in theatres. What makes Superhero Movie particularly interesting is that it was written and directed by only one person, much unlike the Scary Movies, which all took 3 - 6 writers to complete. Craig Mazin mostly succeeds with his particularly irreverent brand of humor, and this is notable considering that he is spoofing material that doesn't exactly lend itself to parody.Sure, I could find some things to complain about (the hit-and-miss humor becomes a little tired), but the bottom line is that this movie is still immeasurably better than what the spoof genre has been putting out lately (Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans...) We can see that there is intelligence and wit behind Superhero Movie, whereas Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer's lame efforts are completely void of both.If you're looking for a good time and more than a fair share of big laughs, your money will be well spent on this one.
