Superhero Movie

Who's in it: Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, Christopher McDonald

What's it about: A school field trip to a local laboratory leaves Rick Riker(Bell) wondering what has happened to him. He begins to develop strange powers and he's slowly learning to use them. His secret sweetheart and girl next door, Jill(Paxton), is always wondering what he is doing. After Rick names himself the Dragonfly, everything seems to go south. Hourglass(McDonald) becomes the Dragonfly's arch nemisis and he is tormenting Riker's family and loved ones.

What I Think: As much as this movie was advertised, I expected it to be the funniest thing I would ever see. To me it ended up being pretty dull. Sure it had it's moments, but most of those moments were given away in previews. That's what's been happening too much these days and I don't like it. Also, I thought that there would be more movie spoofs to it, but really it was only Spiderman that the movie was spoofing. I really expected more from such actors as Bell and McDonald. I was very disappointed.
