Mystery Men (1999)

Kinka Usher directs Ben Stiller, William H. Macy and Hank Azaria in this superhero spoof where a group of inept amateur vigilantes with dubious powers must try to save the day when a supervillain threatens to destroy the city.

A cult favourite that is just a little too repetitive and indulgent to be a rewatchable. The first half introducing everyone is far superior to the stretched out finale. Though the Invisible Boy sequence is a fantastic gag. The production design impressively matches any mid Nineties mega budgeted comic book folly.
