Superhero

Today we drove to werribee for the day and went to the cinema to see "Superhero Movie." This is a comedy in the same vein as the Naked Gun, it started by showing the main character putting on his costume with narrating with a voice over, which then took us back to how he became a superhero.

He was an ordinary teenager who was in love with the girl next door, although she was in a relationship with another guy who as expected was a jerk to him. While visiting a laboratory where the scientists were doing genetic experiements, he was biten by a dragonfly.

A few days later he woke up to find that he could climb walls and had super strength. He tried to use his powers to help people but ended up hurting the people he loved. Realizing he needed a costume he set about drawing some designs. Some of these were pretty stupid really, and were just part of the naked gun humor. The Hourglass became his enemy who wanted immortality and was played by the guy who was Shooter on Happy Gilmore.

The movie had parts from many other superhero movies, like Batman when he had witnessed his parents murder, and Spiderman with the upside down kiss. They also had the X-men with Professor Xavier and his school of "Non-Asian gifted people."

Professor Stephen Hawking made an appearence several times during the movie, and each time was used for some Naked Gun style jokes. This was really his main purpose for being in the movie.

There was also alot of toilet humor used in parts of the movie, as well as some dialog that probably isn't appropriate for children, although it could be classed as a "family" movie. There were quite a lot of children under 15 years in the cinema.

Anyway you probably think that I've written this terribly, but that doesn't matter. All in all the movie gave us some laughs and was worth seeing, but I wouldn't go to the cinema to see it a second time.
