Review of The Specials

If you have watched "Superhero Movie" and "The Specials" side by side, "Superhero Movie" would look like a blockbuster movie. Did I like this yes, why would I admit this but give it such a low rating? Because I respect James Gunn and for the fact that the movie also introduces in her most earliest of roles; one of my more favorite actresses, Melissa Joan Heart. James Gunn gave us a purposely bad movie to show us how not to do a superhero movie, such as not getting Rob Lowe, but it might as well of been Kevin Smith directing the movie. It was funny it is and was meant to be. At the same time it slaps writers in the time period in the face. Had it been a little more serious than it was we could have probably had the superhero craze at least 5 years earlier and may of had a better script for such movies like "Daredevil", the first "X- Men" and "Superman Returns" just to list a few. But the movies' existence may have stopped some writers in writing these better scripts for fear of "This is what the masses will expect." We may never know but its just my theory. Any way if you want a semi funny farce superhero movie then this is the movie for you if you want serious funny then watch "Superhero Movie".
