	Mystery Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mystery Men is a 1999 comedy film directed by TV commercial director Kinka Usher.
		The film's two great strengths were considered to be the art direction and the dialog, much of which was improvised by the cast.
		Despite its list of stars, Mystery Men was widely considered to be a flop.

	Mystery Men (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		From here, Mystery Men turns more into the genre of film it is spoofing, with only a few gags pulled here and there, creating a lighter super hero/action movie than the regulars, such as 1997's Batman and Robin, but Mystery Men's clever sequences are washed out by the time this 122 minute film's credits roll.
		Mystery Men, one of three particularly clever, comedic films released this summer (Dick is the other one), doesn't live up to hype, or the wonderful cast, but I recommend it, as when gags are pulled, they are hilarious, and every cast member and character, excluding Invisible Boy, adds their share to this fun movie.
		Mystery Men had potential to be a cult classic, but like many potentially wonderful movies, this one has a major flaw, the screenplay.

		But there's something especially maddening about a failed opportunity like "Mystery Men," a movie about a group of misfit superheroes that has so much going for it in the cast alone.
		"Mystery Men" is set in a futuristic metropolis called Champion City that borrows elements from the "Batman" movies and pictures like "Blade Runner" and "The Fifth Element" -- it has a sleek, dark, deco-modern look but also seems vaguely seedy.
		"Mystery Men" is supposed to be an action comedy, but there isn't nearly enough of either.

		So it should come as no surprise that Mystery Men is that turn-of-the-millennium phenomenon: a mainstream movie with a cult sensibility.
		Richardson founded Dark Horse Comics in 1986 with the aim of bringing a little sophistication to a market that, 15 years ago, was a pale shadow of what it used to be in the days of The Dark Knight (aka Batman), Superman and The Incredible Hulk.
		The comics Dark Horse produced - several of which, like The Mask, have preceded Mystery Men onto the big screen - were more in tune with the tastes and peculiarities of Generation X. Which means they were edgier, weirder, more out-there.

		Mystery Men From Zero to Hero Mystery Men After a friend of mine and I saw the way-cool trailer for Mystery Men recently, I turned to him and said, "If this movie sucks, my faith in Hollywood will be utterly and irreparably crushed forever." He nodded in sad agreement.
		Mystery Men is a dream of a summer flick: outrageously funny, unabashedly hip, totally cool, with just a hint of heart beating under a cynicism that's well beyond skin deep -- and I mean that in the best possible way.
		If you liked Men in Black and Buckaroo Banzai and TV's The Tick, if you know that Batman and Superman can take some ribbing and not be diminished, then run out and enjoy Mystery Men.

	Mystery Men Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		And though "Mystery Men" suffers from a sagging mid-section, a few comic misfires, and trying to cram too much into its two-hour running time, it still manages to come off as a mischievously witty (not to mention frequently funny) look at the workaday lives of your average blue-collar loserheroes.
		The central conceit of "Mystery Men" is that not only are superheroes real, but that they also occupy the various strata of society.
		To the audience, the travails of the Mystery Men may seem silly, but to the characters, fighting crime is a very serious business, and the performances convey this staid work ethic.

		But once the trajectory of the plot has been established, the script becomes completely formulaic--obliging director Kinka Usher to rely on the talents of his star-studded cast to carry the story.
		Strangely, as much as I like virtually every actor in Mystery Men, there doesn't appear to be a single shred of acting in the entire film.
		The idea behind Mystery Men seems to be to build a crew of superheros out of the kind of people who collect comic books and attend Star Trek conventions.

		When "Mystery Men" falls apart in the last hour, it won't feel like such a rip-off with the lowered expectations of a rental.
		The last half of "Mystery Men" is conspicuously short on laughs (save an arsenal of Garofalo zingers), abandoning its sense of humor for an unnecessarily complicated, catch-phrase-crazy, guns-and-stunts-driven last act.
		But director Usher lost his way, gradually turning "Mystery Men's" mockery into unfortunate imitation.
