Superhero Movie
Extended Edition: Longer, Funnier and More Outrageous!
The greatest Superhero movie of all time! (not counting all the others)
After being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high school loser Rick Riker (Drake Bell) develops superhuman abilities like incredible strength and armored skin. Rick decides to use his new powers for good and becomes a costumed crime fighter known as "The Dragonfly".
However, standing in the way of his destiny is the villainous Lou Landers (Christopher McDonald). After an experiment gone wrong, Lou develops the power to steal a person's life force and in a dastardly quest for immortality becomes the supervillain, "The Hourglass." With unimaginable strength, unbelievable speed and deeply uncomfortable tights, will the Dragonfly be able to stop the sands of The Hourglass and save the world?

Bad spoof....but I laughed anyway - RobBC
When young Rick Riker is bitten by a genetically enhanced dragonfly while on a class field trip he suddenly finds himself endowed with super powers. Meanwhile, across town, evil business magnate Lou Landers has been developing powers of his own. When the two men finally confront each other the fate of Empire City hangs in the balance… The team that brought us the “Scary Movie” series apply their tired old formula to the superhero genre with mixed results. There is nothing fresh here, the jokes are stale, the plot (based loosely on “Spiderman” with a little “X-Men” thrown in) is derivative and wholly predictable, and the visual gags juvenile at best. But I have to admit it had me rolling off the couch more than once. I guess I’m just a sucker for a bad spoof.Spiderman Redux..... - Nostromo
How did this movie get made? Seriously...we're into the comic flicks and this was just poorly done. Most spoofs take several films and roll it into one joke, but there was way too much focus on Spiderman. At approx 45 min the disc was ejected and used as a chew toy for my dog. Airplane....Scary Movie...Spaceballs....Spinal Tap...any day over this.Good for the Genre - AJay
I thought this was another well-done spoof. It pokes fun at all the right moments, the gags are sometimes unexpected, and it's surely just enough on the edge to make you feel a wee bit uncomfortable or laugh really hard (or both). This movie moves quickly and has a good mix of older and newer comedians.
