BOTTOM LINE: There are a couple of funny moments, but these spoof movies have really run their course (at least if they keep doing them in the same way every time); at the end of the day, it's a waste of time and you'll want your money back.

THE GOOD: I like the idea of making fun of these never-ending superhero movies that we keep getting from Hollywood and "Superhero Movie" scores points for by and large taking cheap shots at the first Spider-Man movie, although other franchises such as Superman, Batman and X-Men get a few sequences all on their own. A young kid gets bitten by a genetically altered Dragonfly and starts exhibiting superpowers, but he's up against a new nemesis called Hourglass who has a diabolical plan to suck the life out of every one in the city in order to become immortal. It's funny, simply because you could almost imagine that a real superhero movie would have a plot like that. There are some genuinely funny moments, such as our heroes interactions with certain animals, and some rather dry and witty lines from Leslie Nielsen (who just can't stay away from these movies).

THE BAD: Movies like this are done and dusted. They should be left alone. The first films of this genre like Flying High and The Naked Gun were very well done and funny, not only because we hadn't seen that type of comedy before, but because it was actually smart about the way it delivered the jokes (there weren't too many moments in "The Naked Gun" for example where you weren't laughing). "Superhero Movie" on the other hand is almost a slap in the face to those movies because by and large it's relying on lowest common denominator style jokes which aren't funny. Coupled with the fact that we've seen these jokes a million times in other spoofs leaves you with a comedy you don't really laugh with which defeats the purpose of having made it in the first place. It's sad now to see Leslie Nielsen just doing these movies (even though he's the best part about this film); he's a brilliant actor with great timing as demonstrated in his earlier films, but he's just going through the motions again here and you have to wonder how many more times he needs to play the same part. "Superhero Movie" is a waste of time, and given we have much smarter and wittier comedies these days, it really shouldn't have been made.
