[Plasma Shield]

I accidentally stumbled upon this movie while surfing the net. It was in one of those random pop-up adds. Normally, I just close the ad to “Increase my rooster size” (It’s called a cock -Ed) and continue with what I was doing. But when I see the word “Superhero” I’m just drawn in like a dragonfly to… whatever dragonflies eat. Why a dragonfly you ask? Well, this film is centered around the character of Rick Ricker. He’s an ordinary teenager who gets bitten by a radioactive dragonfly on a field trip. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s Spiderman’s origin. He even has an Uncle who gets injured and inspires him. Even though Rick knees him in the crotch while he’s in the middle of the all-important “With great power comes great responsibility” line. What’s that? Spiderman had no crotch kneeing? Well this film is a parody of just about every big superhero movie ever released. X-Men, Spidey, Batman, Fantastic Four, Superman; they all go under the parodying microscope of the creators of “Naked Gun” and “Scary Movie”. With Drake Bell (whom I actually respect; which is saying a lot for a Nickelodeon Actor), Leslie Nielson, and a host of other famous people, this movie promises a lot.

The Hip

Leslie Nielson. All on his own. He’s a plus automatically. He plays Uncle Albert. The trailer includes a great clip of him shooting a random guy in the hand with a nail gun. What’s not to love? Next up, Drake Bell. I mentioned before that I respect the guy. It’s mainly for his work on “The Amanda Show” which I watched religiously when I was younger. It’s still funny now, dig it up on YouTube. He’s a quality actor. As always, I have to mention Special effects. They look good, though I haven’t seen many. This film could be hilarious. A black Professor X fighting with his wife after she found Invisible woman in his closet, people getting hit by large objects, old ladies being fed into wood-chippers. Good times for all. Finally, they make Tom Cruise look like an idiot and then die. Always; and I do mean always; a plus. (more…)
