An entertaining Comic Book Hero spoof / satire.

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2010)

I saw previews of this movie from my other DVD rentals and I became interested in it. First, I did not have high expectations for the movie, but it did not disappoint me. Second, the premise of the story is a childish fantasy about a teenager who wants to become a superhero. What teenager doesn't? Third, this follows the young man's adventure as he changes his persona into a superhero after he gets his ass kicked on a couple of occasions. While keeping his promise to his love interest, he meets some pretty bad guys, one of whom does not want to leave his love interest alone. Again, while he is or about to get his ass kicked again, he meets two other superheros and then they team up to defeat a drug dealer who is involved with the Russian mafia. The movie contains many well choreographed fight scenes and space age technology, and modern weaponry. In the end the good guys win and so the story ends. If you are into Comic Heros and enjoy nonsense dialog with many action scenes, than you might enjoy this production. Steve, Chicago, IL
