This is one of those films that you know going in, won't be great. It wasn't supposed to be. This is one of those movies that was made because all involved wanted to work on something fun together. A great cast... Full review

Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Ben Stiller, Paul Rubbans, Kel Mitchel, Wes Studi, and Janeane Garofalo were are excellent with their characters! But Greg Kinnear was just a lttle too obnoxious and weird to be a super hero, and Geffory Rush... Full review

if Mystery Men were a better movie, too.....There's nothing wrong with this movie....If sequels are in the works, all they need to do is figure out the right balance between comedy and action --....indeed, their dialogue in this film is scarcely different in tone from what they talk about in other films, playing other characters.....Look at the terrific cast:.... ...

Given such unlikely material, these fine comic actors (even the sober-sided Wes Studi packs a fine deadpan) give each scene and line of dialogue a spin off-center.....I'm not familiar with Bob Burden's original "Mystery Men" stories (which appeared in his cult-favorite, absurdist comic Flaming Carrot ), but imaginative writers in the medium have long punctured the self-serious balloon of pulp superfiction..... ...

Other than that, however, the film's heart and funny bone are firmly in the right place, poking fun at every superhero truism that pop culture holds dear. The script keeps the jokes coming and director Kinka Usher creates an atmosphere that would make both Ridley Scott and Tim Burton proud. ... Full Review

Like Kevin Williamson's inventive Scream , which simultaneously deconstructed and revitalized the aging slasher pic, Mystery Men satirizes many of the conventions of the superhero genre....In a summer of gross-out humour, this comedy is a welcome burst of ironic fun.....First-time feature director Kinka Usher brings an off-kilter visual and comic shimmer from his days as an award-winning director, which included.... ...
