Take the abilities of Superman, Batman, the Incredible Hulk, the X-Men and Spider-Man, all throw in a big pot, stirred vigorously to that whole and has - certainly not the MYSTERY MEN! The MM are different; Completely different even. Had Superman and Co. radiant Elite, so the MM were the exact opposite, though their "mission" really is the same: to fight evil and protect the justice, in a city full Niederträchigkeit and greed! All sounds nice and beautiful, just ... What to do if you no superpowers HAS? If you want to, but can not ??? Exactly this problem also have the Mystery Men (without knowing it, of course). Always in the shadow of the mighty Captain Amazing (and its advertising partners) standing, they are more embarrassing than frightening. It's no surprise? Finally, the group consists of such "fantastic" lone wolves like the blue Raja, master of silverware (thanks to mom) or Schaufler (probably the one who has a well-stocked construction site nearby) or Mister Furious, the anything but that is (more of a coward, but always with pithy sayings like he was Dirty Harry's nephew). But one day, finally, Captain Amazing disappears, it resurrected an old supervillain Casanova Frankenstein! And with him also that chaos returns back to Champion City. A chaos that the Mystery Troupe can avert? Based on the eponymous comic book series of Dark Horse publisher, the film takes almost all cliches of superhero comics on (such as the second identity) and makes a joke of it, to draw it a little bit through the mud. Certainly, many a hardcore comic book fan will be anything but pleased that so draws his beloved heroes through the mud ... but hey! Laughter is still the best treatment! And as you have plenty of opportunities for MM, the film finally comes up with a really excellent cast: Ben Stiller as Mr. Furious, Jeaneane Garafallo than Bowlerin, Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush as Casanova Frankenstein ... have any questions? Maybe not the best superhero squad, but by far the durchgeknallteste!
