Superhero Movie Theatrical Poster

From the creators of Scary Movie and The Naked Gun comes Superhero Movie, a spoof of the craze of the big comic book based summer blockbuster. You know when I was younger I loved movies like this, especially The Naked Gun, Hot Shots! and even the first Scary Movie. But once the Wayans Brothers left the genre the spoof movie really went down hill fast.


In fact, the line of spoof movies created and directed by Aaron Seltzer over the past few years have been down right awful. Seltzer’s movies include Date Movie, Epic Movie, and this year’s dreadful Meet the Spartans. While Seltzer thankfully isn’t involved with Superhero Movie, I don’t see it being that much better than Meet the Spartans due to its being written and directed by Craig Mazin, the writer of Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4 (which were obviously the worst installments in the Scary Movie franchise). But, I do love a good superhero movie and Tracy Morgan is usually hilarious, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Superhero Movie will usher in a renaissance of the classic spoof movie. Then again, there is zero chance I see this in the theaters. I guess I should go ahead and add it to my queue for delivery sometime in the next few months.
