First, I know what you're thinking : "Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Generic Spoof Movie 3 were utter crap!", and you make a good point sir. This will be alot different, alot less rushed, and absolutely alot more funny.
From the director of The Naked Gun and Scary Movie, and written by Craig Mazin, the comedy looks mostly like a spoof of the "Spider-Man" movies. Opening March 28, the film stars Sara Paxton, Leslie Nielsen, Drake Bell, Christopher McDonald, Kevin Hart, Marion Ross, Ryan Hansen, Jeffrey Tambor and Brent Spiner. The official site is also online at Superhero-movie.net.
The movie is due out March 28th, and instead of writing up the retarded plot for you guys, I thought you'd might like to watch the trailer. This looks to be even greater than Scary Movie in my opinion. Do you remember when spoof movies were good? Loaded Weapon anyone?
Speaking of Zucker has there been any sketch based movies like Kentucky Fried Movie or Amazon Women on the Moon that have come out in the last decade or so? I love those type of movies but you don't see them too often.
Hell yes! Loaded Weapon and Reloaded Weapon were both excellent. I honestly think this will be very funny. We haven't had a good comedy all year, so it should do.
Honestly, if the writers from The Naked Gun and the first Scary Movie are on board, that means they're in it to win it.
Well at least this one is sticking with ONE Superhero movie, it seems. But it looks like Drake's movie career isn't going to go very far if THIS is what he's doing...
Also, they usually say that trailers nowadays show the funniest portions of the movies. Well if this is that, then the movie is gonna suck--though I might still see it for Leslie Nielson... though it looks like he's only going to be in the first half or so...

Ahh Loaded Weapon, how I miss thee
I've heard good stuff about this one.
A reviewer also recommended they say "Not from the people who brought you Epic Movie, or Meet the Spartans." in the trailer.
Loaded Weapon was classic, this is just pure shit.
Also, WHY IS THAT KID FROM DRAKE AND JOSH IN THIS MOVIE?!
Fact: Old spoof movies relied less on pratfalls and "yEAAAAH BOYEEEE!" obvious target audience jokes to be funny.
Drake Bell = Instant Fail
And yeah, all recent spoof movies suck. Doubt it'll change anytime soon.
wow. Loaded Weapon. nice.
still remember the scene where they blow the hell out of John McClane's (Bruce Willis') trailer on the beach.
NO! NO THIS IS 814 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY! 1014 IS TWO BLOCKS OVER THERE!
Read about this earlier on SuperHeroHype.com. I'm tempted, but I haven't seen a good paraody since the early 90s, honestly.
Hancock looks pretty similar (listed in Snaileb's trailer links)
You want comedy gold, watch the Dungeon Siege trailer (again, listed above)
Most of that looked pretty okay.
...starring...Leslie Nielsen...
I thought (hoped) he was dead....

"I CAME HERE TO DANCE!!!!"
You know what? I just may give this one a chance.
I still think that the best parody movie ever was Spaceballs. Mel Brooks is the man.
@Snaileb
There was a Reloaded Weapon? How in the hell was I never informed about this?
@Snaileb: Reloaded Weapon? Gotz link?
Drake Bell is spelt F-A-I-L but I've still got HIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHH HOPES WE'VE GOT HIIIIIIIIIIIGH HOPES.
Wow..that..wow. That looks funny? I haven't laughed in awhile...
mmmm Blazing Saddles...It was close enough to a parody.
no stop please stop no no stop no please no stop stop no stop no
no.
That said, I guess I'll check out the video when i get hom from work . . .
Meet The Spartans was shit. The stupid trailer made me think it was funny. I should have known better.
This looks good, but I'm skeptical.
I live for these types of movies. Leslie Nielson is a God!

It's down...
Here you go sailor.

Definitely looks better than Meet the Spartans and Date Movie and all that, but still not worth watching.
I really don't like Drake Bell...
The best parody of Spider-Man ever was a soft core porn they would play on Cinemax called Spider-babe. Guess where she shot her webs from?
I really wish I could've seen that porn! lol
