Superhero Movie Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
There are a few lively bits, and one joke with an edge: a slap at Stephen Hawking and his computer-drone voice. Mostly, though, this is super-lame.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Superhero Movie is the living definition of "hit or miss." Parts of it admittedly made me laugh out loud, but for every joke that scored, there were two that didn't.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
Essentially a retread of every bad grade-school joke you're happy to have forgotten.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
With jokes packed as tightly together as sliced cheese, the flick's comedy axiom seems to be: Never give the audience a pause to second-guess their laughter
Washington Post
John Anderson
It's a bit late in the game for Superhero Movie, which was never going to fly, and barely crawls.
Film Journal International
Ethan Alter
Despite a few amusing moments, this underwhelming spoof is strictly direct-to-video material.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The very act of writing critically about Superhero inspires something of an existential crisis -- no one likely to turn out for it is reading this review, and anybody reading this review is probably not inclined to see it under any circumstances.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
Two laughs does not a decent comedy make.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Writer-director and Scary Movie vet Craig Mazin's script is so devoid of anything even remotely funny that the movie is more a cheap rip-off of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise than a spoof.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
To call Superhero Movie a satire, or even a parody, of the genre specified in its title would be misleading, since those terms imply at least an attempt at wit. But no real mockery is intended by this mindless grab bag of slightly used gags.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
By-the-numbers screen parody fails to resurrect an increasingly tired genre.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The gags are consistently weak.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Superhero Movie would make a decent long-form short on the "Funny or Die" website, but at 85 minutes -- 15 of which are outtake-heavy end credits -- its powers of amiability wear off fast.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
70 minutes of good if unmemorable fun sure beats 80 or 90 minutes of excruciating parodies for dummies, a la Date Movie and Epic Movie.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
All the most hilarious scenes from 'Superhero Movie' show up in the film's trailer, but there's still a lot to laugh about in this silly parody.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
It's rather benign, actually -- never very funny, and never amusing for more than a few moments at a time, but not grating or clownish, either.
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
It's cinematic junk food; I sat, I laughed, I left, I forgot all about it. (But at least I laughed.)
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A joke that's underdeveloped and overextended...not one of the worst examples of this tired genre, but far from the best.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
About five good laughs stretched over a 70-minute running time (not counting the ludicrously padded 15-minute end credits).
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The film's weakest moments are also its timeliest.
