Review of Mystery Men (1999) by Faisal A — 29 Dec 2015

I love superheros, whether done in a fun, campy, cartoonish way, or grounded in their worlds; They can be shallow, or complex; they can be taken seriously or for granted; It is up to the creators and the audience.

I personally enjoy the superheroes of Marvel and DC, because there are real characters, and they have a very mythical feel to them at the same time. "Mystery Men" does not deal with vigilantism or being a superpowered hero in the same way that Batman or Superman or any Marvel/DC stories do; instead this is closer to the tick, and exists in this wacky world, which frankly, I enjoyed watching.
