Movie Reviews of Who Wants to Be A Superhero? (2 DVD Set)
Movie Review: Good Clean *Corny* Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Stan Lee/Comic fans... this is a must see! So entertaining and really REALLY corny! In a sea of lame reality shows (which I can NOT stand to watch) this one actually has some substance. As Stan Lee searches for a new 'Hero' to feature in a new comic (and I believe he chose the right one!), we meet an array of individuals all with different reasons for being there. This show has a lot of heart! It is SO corny at times, but couldn't be more entertaining. The challenges are great and really had me laughing! Many of the contestants were really likeable and I found myself cheering for all of them. =)
None of these contestants were actors (I remember when they had the open auditions)... anyone who tried to get on the show for exposure (actors, also one guy who owned a comic book store) were not allowed on the show, or were kicked off if found out. Monkey Woman is an example of this. During a challenge, she starts to give acting advice to a waitor and admits she is trying to get in to the acting business. Needless to say, she was next to be eliminated. The show is all about everyday people creating a super identy to do good for others.
Some scenes (like when an eliminated contestant is brought back as a villain), is very campy and scripted... but it's all in good fun! The people are all real and the challenges are real. Stan Lee did a terrific job with this fun ride... and did a terrific job choosing who he felt was the best Superhero!
Excelsior!
