While I never ingest cannabis, I feel as if this movie would be fun if one were to do that. That is something that I would never do mind you. I was just thinking that it would be good if one were to, oh, I don't know, eat an edible or smoke a pipe full.

since you didn't answer the question, [Mystery Men received generally positive reviews from critics, but was a box-office bomb, only making a little over $33 million worldwide against a $68 million budget. However, many avid fans of the superhero genre consider this as a cult classic.]
So Minus $35 million.
This was what I expected. It's fun, but it's not faithful to Bob Burden's vision, which was hardly commercial anyway. Looks like an over-the-top vanity project - which explains the cast. Just totally indulgent, which is part of its charm. Geoffrey Rush doesn't even bother to keep his 'accent' straight. He obviously considers it Rubbish and enjoyed himself picking up his cheque I trust Bob Burden did well out it. If you haven't read 'Flaming Carrot Comics' I think his work would appeal to you. Thanks again!
Just for fun - guess how much money Mystery Men made for the investors.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice.
ReplyDeleteWell ahead of its time.
How much money?
Just north of Zilch?
A negative value?

Mystery Men and Unbreakable are the two best superhero movies.
ReplyDeleteUNBREAKABLE was fascinating. I don't want to give anything away.
ReplyDeleteWhile the idea was good the execution was not. A waste of a good cast.

Farquhar; I'm not finding those movies you named - my bad luck.
ReplyDeleteEverybody; How about ROBOT JOX next? It's on my blog already but most have been so lucky they never found it.
The Flaming Carrot & its spinoffs were always great.
