February 9, 2012Less of a disaster than Epic Movie, but still a crappily written slapstick-cavalcade with hardly a single good joke to offer. Anyone who finds this hilarious is obviously a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Anyway, seeing as it ended up being one of the worst movies I've ever seen... read more

February 6, 2012This movie was funny...Scary movie writen all over it. You don't know what you get when you watch a movie that says "From 2 of the 5 writers of Scary Movie"....It could be crap. It could be good...It was good this time. Not good like good...but...funny...

November 13, 2011Better than other spoof movies but it has to much of a "been there done that" far to familiar feel to it.

October 31, 2011Yet another spoof is trundled of the crapola production line, this time its superhero movies that get it....as if they needed it. The whole thing is so so predictable you feel as if you've seen it many times before..and you have. The jokes and prat falls are all the same, the cha... read more

April 25, 2011I must be really dumb for enjoying this movie, espically since I hated Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie, but Bell is just so dumb and awckward that he was perfect, the plot worked somehow for me, and yes it has some very dumb jokes but I'd be lying if I didn't say i laugh eve... read more

January 2, 2011It is a spoof movie and really makes me miss Leslie Nielsen that died this year (2010). He was perfect for deadpan spoof comedies.
-
November 14, 2010a very late parody of Spider-Man (2002). I will say one thing... It's not as bad as Meet the Spartans
-
October 7, 2010The only reason why I gave it one star because it does have some funny moments but wasn't enough to make your day. The poster is pretty deceiving. I don't understand why most of the spoof movies are so pathetic. Their jokes, acting, story, etc everything is so cheap and si... read more

July 27, 2010ok I know this is a bad movie. I know it's stupid. I got a lot of laughs though. I thought it was funny (there were several jokes that didn't work though). when you compare this to other parody movies like date movie, disaster movie, and meet the spartans, this movie isn't so bad... read more

It's a bit late in the game for Superhero Movie, which was never going to fly, and barely crawls. Full Review

It looks for all the world as if writer/director Craig Mazin took the screenplay for Spider-Man, propped it up next to his MacBook, and just went through it, inserting fart gags, pratfalls and the lam... Full Review

The very act of writing critically about Superhero inspires something of an existential crisis -- no one likely to turn out for it is reading this review, and anybody reading this review is probably n... Full Review

Puerile and idiotic it may be, but Superhero Movie is nonetheless smarter than most of its lowbrow brethren in the Hollywood sub-sub-category known as the spoof movie. Full Review

To call Superhero Movie a satire, or even a parody, of the genre specified in its title would be misleading, since those terms imply at least an attempt at wit. But no real mockery is intended by this... Full Review

By-the-numbers screen parody fails to resurrect an increasingly tired genre.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Superhero Movie would make a decent long-form short on the "Funny or Die" website, but at 85 minutes -- 15 of which are outtake-heavy end credits -- its powers of amiability wear off fast. Full Review

Dennis Harvey, Variety
70 minutes of good if unmemorable fun sure beats 80 or 90 minutes of excruciating parodies for dummies, a la Date Movie and Epic Movie. Full Review
