Mystery Men Ratings & Reviews
- Scott Smith16 februari 2026I love this movie. An absurd action-comedy about the worst group of "superheroes" ever. The Mystery Men. None of them have any real powers...except maybe "The Bowler" (with her possessed bowling ball). Tom Waits is great as a non-lethal weapons maker. The movie is surreal and colorful, and more than a little stupid at times...but it's also a fun ride.
- Dan Dease11 januari 2026Pointless.
- Richard9 november 2025This one’s a glorious mess and I mean that lovingly. A parody of superhero tropes before superhero movies were even a proper genre. Released in 1999, it tried to spoof something that hadn’t yet become mainstream. So instead of riding the wave, it belly flopped into cult status. It’s based on the Flaming Carrot comics, which already lived in the absurd zone. But the film? It’s like someone mashed The Tick, Batman Forever and a late 90's rave into a blender and hit “parody.” The set design is wild, the tone swings like a wrecking ball and the jokes? Hit or miss, but always delivered with commitment. Looking back, it came too early. If this had dropped post Avengers, it would’ve been hailed as genius. Instead, it was shelved next to Blankman and The Specials, waiting for nerd culture to catch up. Still, it’s a fun ride. A reminder that you don’t need powers to be a hero, just a shovel, a bowling ball with daddy issues and the courage to wear spandex in public.
- Baloo Uriza31 maart 2025We got basically the perfect parody of today's superhero and Ghostbuster movies 25 years ago.
