'Superhero Movie' not so super

Director: Craig Mazin

Cast: Drake Bell, Christopher McDonald, Leslie Nielson, Sarah Paxton

Cert: 15

A spoof of all the recent hero films, but a spoof that sadly fails to deliver on the quirky, witty, inventive – or any other – front.

The hero here is bitten by a dragonfly and turns into Dragonfly, the hero who must save the world. He encounters the usual suspects of evil businessmen and beautiful women but since there’s nothing original about the writing it’s all such a waste of time.

Memo: if you’re making a spoof, don’t forget to make it funny.

Star Rating: 1/5
