This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Excellent but underrated film
Guillelmina
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I only watched this garbage because it was shown on some cheap cable channel Sunday afternoon. It was advertised as "comedy". Boy, how wrong I was when decided to give it a go. It was simply not funny at all, has no plot and is full of mindless dialog full of filthy words in order for Americans to like it. I am stunned how most of the reviewers have regarded this so called picture as a piece of art, when it was simply a piece of something else that you can refer as excrement. When you watch all this mediocrity you often wonder how in God's sake can this be made. It is so weak it made porn movies run for mainstream Oscar. Apart from cinematographic flaws, the acting is just lame. Most of the crew needs to go to acting schools again. Acting is so bad it becomes funny at moments.No, seriously, Hollywood, stop doing turds like this one. It is really ruined your (already filthy) image anyway.Definitely a winner for Bottom 100 of all times. Shame on Rob Lowe for participating here.Avoid at all costs unless your favorite movie is "American Pie".You have been warned.100/10

One way a superhero film ought to be is Blade. Or maybe X-Men. Where it's pretty much animation, but they shell out the money for Halle Berry's body as well as her voice. And most of it is just watching Wesley Snipes put on sunglasses and then hit people. It's nifty, and, frankly, worth the $8 to see.The Specials is the other way. Nobody paid $8 to see it, but now, we all ought to be shelling out $20 for a DVD (or $16.99, and spend the change on some fried chicken. And a can of beer).A mockumentary on a mediocre superhero team, the Specials is great 'cause the fight scenes are verbal. And there aren't any sunglasses. Good soundtrack through. It's absolutely cheeky and self-deprecatory, and shows that superheros are like ordinary people. But crazier.Just a pleasure to watch. Very clever, with absolutely genius performances by The Weevil (Rob Lowe) and Deadly Girl (someone I don't know, but really ought to. She was fantastic). I even teared up a tiny bit. Kinda. In a manly way.

This film has to be one of the worst comedies ever. Made on a budget of $1 this film lacks any good points. The special effects are rubbish the humour is dreadful at best and the actors look really fed up. I was wondering when I would ever get to see these special powers the characters kept going on about, well you do see them for about 2 seconds at the very end of the film. At 82 minutes the film is too short to ever be a classic and compared to such films as Mystery Men and Orgasamo this film falls short very short. Rob Lowe whos he?? Oh thats right he was in Austin Powers for about 10 minutes. Melissa Joan Heart also makes a brief appearance much to her regret. AVOID THIS FILM LIKE THE PLAGUE

This Film is a great example of the fact that you don't need a budget to be a great movie. solid cast performance and a brilliantly funny script show just how easy it is to be successful. while the film leans more towards the fans of the comic book genre with humor more in tune with that vein, which is why it was so good, it wasn't trying to be a movie for everyone... people who don't read comics wont enjoy this half as much as people who do, unless they like their humor dark. mystery men is the closest comparison i can think of, but mystery men tried to hard and lacked the small charm and witty profanity ridden dialogue of the specials, and while mystery men had its moments, it just seemed to rely on visual humor which i found works more for kids like it says in the Specials... "the specials don't exist for the pretty people...they exist for the geek, the outcast" yadda yadda pick this up and laugh...if you don't, well...what are you? dead?
