Superhero Parody For Commander Data


From cinemablend, The only thing I’m more sick of than superhero movies are superhero spoofs. The worst ones have involved Tim Allen and while this one is mostly Allen free it’s presence in theaters a few months from now is almost certain to be wholly unwelcome. HR says Dimension Films is making an action parody flick called Superhero!.

The film uses an ensemble cast, which is code for they couldn’t find anyone very famous to be in it. So instead they have the likes of Christopher McDonald (that guy from Happy Gilmore), Leslie Nielsen (that guy from those movies), Marion Ross (Richie’s mother), Jeffrey Tambor (hey now Hank), and Brent Spiner (who always seemed like such a great actor on Star Trek but has turned out to be a big, stinking, zero) to ride herd on a cast of young whipper snappers from Nickelodeon shows.

The creatively named Superhero! movie should be in the mold of the increasingly junkie Scary Movie films which, makes sense since the two movies have not only cast members in common (Leslie Neilsen), but they’re directed and produced by the same people.

Ooh, that sounds bad. Jordan never bothered with The Tick, which to my mind means he's missing out but I get his point: we all get the superhero parody.

But this...this isn't beating a dead horse, this is like dressing up the dead horse like Bernie and trying to convince people he's alive.
