Silvery falls

Well, I can certainly say that, in my eyes, this is the best spoof movie in newer date. Now don’t get me wrong, I loved the Scary Movie series and such, but for me Epic Movie was little a little bit too lame.

But here in Superhero Movie, we see a few rather famous actors like:

• Christopher McDonald which starred in movies like: Requiem for a Dream, The Skulls and The Faculty
• Leslie Nielsen which I am pretty sure most of us remember from movies like: Scary Movie 3-4, Wrongfully Accused and The Naked Gun.
• Brent Spiner which anyone that have seen the Star Trek Movies can recognise as Data, though he did also have a role in Independence Day.

I will try not to go too deep into the movie plot, so that I wont ruin it for people who hasn’t seen the movie yet, but I do want to coin a phrase which I thought a lot while I was watching the movie, “Surely nothing is holy in this movie” and that does indeed describe it very well.

After what I noticed Superhero Movie spoofs at least 4 other movies:

• Spiderman
• Batman
• X-Men
• Fantastic Four

Somehow the director took different parts of all these movies and put them together into a storyline that is worth watching, if for nothing else then at least for the laughs.
All of the above movies have parts in Superhero Movie though the one that truly dominates mostly is Spiderman, many of the storyline paths and twists have been “borrowed”..

On the special effects side, I will say that there is nothing really spectacular in this movie, most of the visual effects are okay, but a bit bland compared to some of the newer movies, where we have been spoiled by photo-realistic CGI, but I didn’t notice any particular bad special effects in this movie.

I have gotten some pictures from the movie itself, so if you want you can see what it is like. Though the pictures aren’t in the best quality, they should be watchable. Check for my gallery link in the bottom of the post.

Overall I’d say that the movie is definitely worth a watch, maybe not a buy, personally I wouldn’t buy it unless it was on sale, but renting it is also a very viable possibility. Most parts of the movie is rather fun if you can stand some of the more lame jokes that are in this movie, plus the movie does indeed continue the trend that Epic Movie set with walking right up to the line and then blowing across it a few miles, many of the things are blown out of proportion to the point where they become more lame then fun..

Now since this is my first movie review, I have really had problems figuring out what to say about the movie, so if any of you have any suggestions, please feel free to put in a comment..

Now for the score of this movie, I will give it an 7. I had thought about an 8 but due to many of the jokes in the movie being lame and some even pointless, I decided that 7 was more fitting..

I think that was all, thanks for reading.

Score: 7 / 10
