Critics' reviews
- "One of those half-straight, half-spoof comic-book extravaganzas that don't ever work, and what's neat is that this one does--beautifully. "
- At long last, someone has crafted a worthwhile superhero spoof."
- "It's a long, shapeless, undisciplined mess, and every once in awhile it generates a big laugh."
- Sharply written, with a lavish look and top-drawer effects adding to the appeal of its large and talented cast, pic achieves a nice balance of fondness and satiric snap"
- "An effort you end up admiring more than completely loving."
- "The screenplay is packed with gags that hit."
