A Review of Superhero Movie

Today my grandaughter and I took our vehicles in to have tune ups and we had some time to kill so we decided to go see Superhero Movie.  I found it to be a typical Leslie Nielsen spoof movie, much like the many others he's been in.  It is rated PG13 and runs 85 minutes.  I was rather disappointed at the short length of the movie.  It was over almost before it began! There were several funny situations in it, but stupid ones, which is typical for this type of movie!  You just want to roll your eyes and shake your head..  If you want a mindless movie to go see, then this is the one for you.  No thinking needed, except to figure out which movies are being spoofed. It was ok, but I probably wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't been with my granddaughter. Here is a short synopsis of the movie. Shortly after being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high-school outcast Rick Riker (Drake Bell) begins to experience a startling transformation. Now Rick's skin is as strong as steel, and he possesses the strength of ten men. Determined to use his newfound powers to fight crime, Rick creates a special costume and assumes the identity of The Dragonfly -- a fearless crime fighter dedicated to keeping the streets safe for law-abiding citizens. But every superhero needs a nemesis, and after Lou Landers (Christopher McDonald) is caught in the middle of an experiment gone horribly wrong, he develops the power to leech the life force out of anyone he meets and becomes the villainous Hourglass. Intent on achieving immortality, the Hourglass attempts to gather as much life force as possible as the noble Dragonfly sets out to take down his archenemy and realize his destiny as a true hero.  Craig Mazin wrote and directs this crazy spoof featuring Tracy Morgan,  Pamela Anderson, Leslie Nielsen, Marion Ross, Jeffrey Tambor, and  Regina Hall.
