Synopsis: In a future city where crime has almost dissapeared thanks to Captain Amazing (Kinnear), a bunch of odd superhero wannabies lead by Mr Furious (Stiller) is trying to find their place.When Casanova Frankenstein (Rush) takes over the city and captures Amazing, they will have to recruit and surpass themselves in the fight against evil.
Review: Seing the movie this time was not as funny as I remembered. It was a nice parody at the time before the wave of superhero movie that is now lasting for more than a decade. I remember it went out just before the first X-men. There are plenty of good actors and still some pretty good moments (Invisible boy, the Shoveler borrowing the baseball vest from his son, the blur Raja dressed in green and that doesn't use knifes, the non-leathal weapons inventor, the Disco boys!) but the movie is slowly ageing.
Rating: 5 /10
