Mystery Men Reviews
Hysterical and very Art Deco!
This film is really special. It's not some low budget comedy movie but it's a mix between Batman, Seinfeld and Austin Powers, an overall bizarre combination!
I really like the part when Stiller jumps on the badguys' car and tries to scratch the label off! LOL!
If you really want to give yourself a break and indulge in some innocent childish fun you should watch this movie.
No Mystery As To Why It's Brilliant
In recent years, there have been certain films that act as a divining rod between those who get the proverbial "joke" and those who "don't." Tim Burton's largely underappreciated "Mars Attacks!" serves as an example. Now, we have "Mystery Men," quite possibly the best comic-book movie adaptation since the first "Batman" and certainly a comedy worthy of the box office returns that a lesser movie like "There's Something About Mary" received. Unfortunately, it didn't have that kind of random-chance luck. Running neck-and-neck with "Magnolia" for Best Ensemble Cast of 1999, "Mystery Men" fires one-liners and subtle puns faster than an AK-47, telling the story about some less-than-super superheroes. Every performance in the film is nothing short of hysterical; Hank Azaria darn near steals the show as the fork-wielding Blue Raja. Paul Reubens, as the Spleen, is top drawer, which we haven't seen from him since the first Pee-Wee Herman movie and William H. Macy's facial expressions are worth the price of the film. His henpecked Shoveler is the closest thing this film has to a straight man... which is still far off. Not to mention Ben Stiller in rare form as Mr. Furious, the very definition of "all bark, no bite" and Janeane Garofalo in a less sardonic role than we're used to as the revenge-minded Bowler. Are you excited yet? If not, don't even bother seeing it; you clearly just "don't get it." For those of you that know why you should be excited, go out and get "Mystery Men." I dare you not to hurt yourself laughing.
