So bad, it's bad

I actually remember the comic book this movie was based on. It was so bad that if you read it, your mom burst into flames. When the Hollywood producer who greenlighted this to become a movie gave his approval, his mom and his grandma burst into flames. If you watch this, your mom will not burst into flames. BUT if you watch this and then come back and try to say anything redeeming about it on the imdb discussion board, your mom, your grandma, and Katie Corcoran, that girl you liked in 5th grade, will burst into flames.

The 1980's gave birth to a lot of awesome stupid movies. This isn't even the worst film based on a comic book character. CATWOMAN anyone?

Still not as bad as Mystery Men.

I leave Symbols to the Symbol minded

I actually really liked Mystery Men.
The ridiculous superhero motifs (like "The Shoveler").
Hank Azaria's performance and the whole revelation of his secret identity & his relationship with his mother.
It was a satiric look at the whole medium of comic book superheroes.
The comedy in M.M. was wry, quirky and sardonic, while the comedy in Howard the Duck was forced, predictable and cliched.
