10 Comic Book Movies You Should Feel Guilty For Enjoying

6. Mystery Men (1999)

Ben Stiller has had plenty of movies over the years that are considered to be certified classics. However, this foray into the world of superheroes isn't one of them. For those of you unfamiliar, Mystery Men tells the story of a group of superheroes with unimpressive powers who are required to save the day (after the city's true hero, Captain Amazing, is kidnapped). You have Stiller playing Mr. Furious, a hero who literally does nothing but throw hissy fits and gets red in the face. William H. Macy plays The Shoveler, who will hit you in the face with a shovel if need be. Hank Azaria plays The Blue Raja, a superhero that throws cutlery with great accuracy. And then you have a bunch of other heroes with "powers" that range from throwing a bowling ball to becoming invisible (but only when nobody is looking). Also, let's not forget Paul Reubens as The Spleen, a superhero who can break gas so potent that anybody who smells it faints. Overall, this film has a brilliant concept, it's original, cleverly written and doesn't deserve the hate that it gets. Mystery Men appeals to a certain part of the brain that not everybody has. But if you like to see bad done well, this is it.
