Well, I've been reading the reviews on this film for quite a while now, and I've got to say: why is everyone complaining about it? To be perfectly honest, I saw this film because my best friend rented it, so I hadn't had a chance of reading any of the reviews online. If it had been the other way around, I probably wouldn't have seen it, and that would have been just a darn shame. So what if some of the situations are a little extreme? So what if it all seems a little "Oh, come on!" - that's what this type of comedy is all about! I had a good laugh watching this, and I strongly suggest this for a friend night...but definitely not the movie I'd see on a family night.

In a world of parodies that are just complete trash with a funny moment or two, this one is pretty dang good!! This movie parodies Spiderman (the Raimi/McGuire movies) with some other Marvel characters thrown into the mix.Rick is a nobody high schooler who wants to impress the girl living next door. While on a school trip to a science lab, Rick is bitten by a genetically enhanced Dragonfly, and begins to show superhuman abilities. Will he become the hero his city needs?As I said, this movie is plenty entertaining, witha great cast, and it actually doesn't rely solely on on trash humor (although there is a lil bit). I'd give it a 6.2 rating.

I really liked this one. I wasn't expecting much, being worn out on spoof movies lately because of the layer of crap that's been dropped on us, the movie-going public. "Epic Movie","Date Movie","Meet the Spartans" all sucked.That being said, the people who made this, made the latter-day Zucker- styled comedies(a la Airplane, The Naked Gun) Scary Movie 3 & 4, and not those other "Movie" movies (which are the domain of Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer).There were parts of this movie where I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. And that happens SO rarely with comedies lately. Seriously, I laughed hard.But, it was one of those things that will entertain but never be a classic you'd bother watching again. It was a bit forgettable in that way.
