Superhero Movie

Superhero Movie is a 2008 American superhero comedy film written and directed by Craig Mazin, produced by Robert K. Weiss and David Zucker, and starring Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, Christopher McDonald, and Leslie Nielsen. It was originally titled Superhero! as a nod to one of the Zucker's' previous films, Airplane!, in which Nielsen also starred.

A spoof of the superhero film genre, primarily the first Spider-Man, as well as other modern-day Marvel Comics film adaptations, the film follows in the footsteps of the Scary Movie series of comedies, with which the film's poster shares a resemblance. It was also inspired by, and contains homages to, some of Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker's earlier spoof films such as Airplane! and The Naked Gun.

It was released on March 28, 2008, in the United States to generally negative reviews from critics (but more positive than earlier entries such as Date Movie and Meet the Spartans) and moderate box office success.

Plot
After a bite from a genetically altered insect gives him superhuman abilities, teenage loser Rick Riker decides to use his powers for good. Donning an uncomfortably tight costume, Rick becomes a mysterious crime fighter known as The Dragonfly. But standing in the way of truth, justice, and the American Way is an evil villain known as The Hourglass, who plans to become immortal by sucking the life force out of anyone who gets in his way.

Why It Can't Save The World (Bad Qualities)

 * 1) Bad acting for the most part, with the exception of Drake Bell.
 * 2) It's filled with gross-out jokes, racist jokes, sex jokes, and fart jokes.
 * 3) Despite parodying 2002's Spider-Man, it however just combines it with the X-Men film franchise which is pointless.
 * 4) A pointless subplot with Professor X having Rick join his school.
 * 5) Poor special effects.
 * 6) Cringe-worthy joke where a glass shard gets stuck in the villain’s eye.
 * 7) Pointless celebrity cameos.
 * 8) Dragged-out scene where Rick's aunt Lucille farts while sleeping and being absorbed by Hourglass.
 * 9) Unlikeable characters that are just stereotypes like Rick's bully, the nephew of Lou Landers/ Hourglass, Lance Landers, and his gang.
 * 10) At the end of the film, Lance doesn’t get his comeuppance for bullying Rick and never learns that his uncle is Hourglass.
 * 11) It rips off Bruce Wayne's parents being shot depicted in Batman Begins.
 * 12) When Rick's uncle, Albert gets shot, NOBODY is concerned and they just got sucked into a stupid monkey. Even the gunman who shot him is forgotten.

Good Qualities

 * 1) There's plenty of funny moments here and there.
 * 2) Some of the jokes are actually pretty smart, like in classic parodies such as Airplane!, Top Secret or The Naked Gun.
 * 3) Thankfully at the end of the film, Rick and Joan do reunite their relationship.
 * 4) The scene where Monks are praying and punching people to the ground was funny.
 * 5) Hourglass's supervillain backstory and the plan are actually pretty interesting rather than a parody of the Green Goblin.
 * 6) While Bad acting for the most part, Drake Bell's acting is pretty good in this movie.
 * 7) Everything about the film is so over-the-top and cheesy that it's so funny. Remember that Stupid and Over-the-Top > Stupid and Dull.
 * 8) It's definitely NOT AS BAD as the other parody movies that came out in the 2000s.
 * 9) The ending credit song is actually pretty catchy.
