Featured review
why don't people understand the purpose of these kind of movies?
SUPERHERO MOVIE, meet the Spartans, scary movie, date movie etc these all movies r just a parody of other movies.. n they do it really good. i recommend that if a person is going to watch any of these movies, kindly watch the movies on which that movie is made.only then one can enjoy. These movies don't have story of their own so u cannot understand them without watching other movies.i am sick of people giving bad comments to these movies. it is because they don't know what this movie is about. it is a little bigger budget parody thats it. so guys enjoy these movie.. n for this superhero movie only watching SPIDERMAN is enough as most of the story covers that movie.so enough said,hop that helps..
