Trailer For Superhero Movie

Trailer For Superhero Movie
The word 'spoof' has become greatly devalued in recent times. You no longer think the genius of Airplane! or Young Frankenstein – and both are unequivocally genius – but rather the joyless clod of Meet The Spartans or Date Movie.

The trailer for Superhero Movie, which you can see below, doesn't seem to be anywhere near the quality of the former films, but it's a hell of a lot better than the latter. Billed as a mickey take of all superhero movies, it's actually more a play on Spider-Man. At least it has a story and isn't just a series of woeful pop-culture jokes about how, like, Paris Hilton is totally, like, stupid and Britney Spears is super crazy and weird! LOL!!!! OMG! KFC!!!!!11

The staple gun gag made us chuckle and we still hold residual affection for Leslie Nielsen. What do you think?

Why, God why?! Why cant they just stop making all these shit movies?! Is there no level these guys wont sink to to make some money?! They've ripped off so many good films, can't they just leave Spider-man be? And why does there have to be a moment in EVERY film they make with the main character(s) breakdancing?! Its the furthest thing from funny now. ... Read More

It looks a bit more structured than the terrible spoofs of recent times and in places almost looks amusing but somehow I doubt it will be up to much. then again it will still probably get to the top of the US charts. ... Read More

Writers
Well, as long as it's from the 4 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie and not from the 2 of the 6, it MIGHT be fun. The duo behind Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans are the most worthless comedy writers since...well...ever? I mean: how hard can it be to write clever, funny parody's of well known movies. Heck, I've written better film parodies when I was still in highschool! Solving my math problems and Latin translations at the same time! These people have a friggin million dollar budget,... Read More

RE: RE:
Bleh, the minute the main character started breakdancing on the wall i hated it.  Seriously it's never ever funny to make your characters do a dance for no reason just because it's "lol look they're dancing and they're meant to be all serious now".  Shame really because the bit seconds after showing the cat running up the wall gave a little chuckle. But yeah, as otheres have said, this isn't spoof, this isn't subverting the genre, this is taking scenes from established films, all... Read More
