Review of The Specials (2000) by Geoff J — 28 Sep 2010
Lets compare this to Mystery Men... ok thats probably unfair as The Specials clearly had a tenth of the budget of an episode of Smallville where as Mystery Men was a major cinmema release. There is an irony in that unlike Mystery Mens group of normals, The Specials is a film about Heroes who genuinely have amazing powers but the film makers didn't have the budget to show them (apart from a brief and awful CG show at thevery end).
.. But the real difference between the two films is the script and the cast. The Specials has a go nowhere storyline with crap jokes and a ropey ensemble (cool as ever Lowe and likeable Haden Church asside).
In the end its prety close to unwatchable.
