It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

First off, the plot line in this movie is about as entertaining as watching a plant grow. We have your average American family (The Marshalls) living in your average American town, except for the fact that they have super heroes; Bronze Eagle, Warrior Woman, and Silver Charge. Real imaginative. Anyways without spoiling too much of this movie this moral is that you don't always need super powers to save the day. Yawn. With that said, we have some great B-list actors in this film that pull it through the running time. Sherman Hemsley "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons"),(you may also remember him from that Nelly music video where he's 2 stepping in the ballpark) is hilarious as always, portraying the eccentric grandfather. Michael J. Pagan does a nice job at playing the dorky but cool (is that possible?) Warrior Eagle. Chris Marquette ("Joan of Arcadia" and "The Girl Next Door) does a great job at playing the always-funny best friend. However, some of the best acting in the film comes from TV commercial star Derek Lee ("Q-Bert", "Kohl's" and "Waffle Crisp Cereal"), as he plays the witty, unknowing, second-best friend. His part is small but single handedly almost validates a viewing of this movie alone. I don't know how many times i've rewinded my VHS just to watch him say "I Pick Amy" one more time. He does it with so much conviction it makes the viewer want to pick amy, and at the same time cry at the sheer brilliance of it all.Overall I recommend this movie to children, parents of children, and worst enemies.

That me and my friends were in tears laughing at it.One major, MAJOR problem I had with the movie was the actors, and how bland and unbelievable their script seemed. For example, in one scene, there is a woman trapped in a burning building, with no way for people to see her inside. Even so, there is a news crew, tons of civilians standing by and watching, a few fire trucks and a police squad. NONE of them were doing anything, even though they some how know there is a woman in side the flaming building. Super hero comes and saves her, and drops her off in the middle of the crowd of people. Later in the movie, "nobody saw where she went". NOBODY SAW HER? The super hero dropped her in a group of people! That's impossible!Another thing that bothered me was the story line. People are being controlled by a computer program that is just an "e" spinning around a globe while a voice talks to them. A spinning "e" and a voice cannot hypnotize a person into robbing a bank, like it does in this movie. In the same category, simple household tin foil renders all the superheros completely useless, they can't touch it, and if they are tied up in it, it apparently "sucks their power out", which is just plain stupid.The villains are apparently pretty dumb, too. They were convinced that a few kids popping bubble wrap above their heads were a police squad shooting at them from outside the building. Yeeeeeeah.If it wasn't for the completely ridiculous plot line (which, IMHO, completely ruined the movie), it wouldn't have been too bad.

This movie has received generally weak reviews, but I haven't seen (in recent comments, anyway) the fact that, as broadcast on the Disney Channel's Big Movie Show it audience is "'tween-age" children. I watched it with my 6 and 8 year-olds, and they enjoyed it very much, so did I. They didn't understand everything but they did understand the "moral" of the story, that you don't have to be a super hero to help people. I also enjoyed that fact that there was no "bad words" or smarmy kids that sass their parents and each other. I will not by any means watch any of the new Disney theatrical releases of remakes that murder the spirit of the original (I couldn't make it through the opening scene of "That Darn Cat") but I have generally liked (and let my children watch) the Disney Channel Original Movies...Even Cheeta Girls 2 with a romantic subplot did not go over the line of appropriateness for 'tweens (at least mine). If anyone thinks that this is a "lame" or "predictable" movie, fine, it might be, but it satisfies its target audience; the UNJADED 6-12 year old, without offering up smart-mouthed role models.

This is by far the most lethargic Disney movie I have EVER seen! Nothing in this film seems to coincide with the story. There was one since (out of the seemly endless array of idiocy in this film) that strikes my thoughts moreover… When Jim/Bronze Eagle (Robert Townsend) and Judy/Warrior Woman (Alex Datcher) are watching the news over the Bank Robbery they saved, you can see their faces close up and hear the folks in the background talking capriciously, while at the same time both "superheros" were talking about why one another were "late." My question is, "didn't anyone hear those people?" at the same time while watching this, the character Bronze Eagle says, "Honey I think we need new head-shots the photographer called." Okay, "numbers are listed." There are so many moments in this film that make you wonder "how in the world did they get the founds to make it?" In the beginning of the movie, they wanted to show that "tinfoil" is their "super" weakness. They prattle on and on about how dangerous it is to be near it and to even touch it…yet in the beginning they are within two feet or even one foot away from it without any ominous happenings. Near the end of the film they appear to get perennially weaken by it (till someone intervenes, of course) at the LEAST 10 feet away.Don't watch this movie. Don't waste your time. Instead, why not water the glass. Believe me there is more "superness" out of watering the glass, hell why not even dress up for it… make it fun!
