Why am I the only person who likes this?

i enjoyed it

You are not alone - watched this again at the weekend and agree that this is far more creative and fun than any of the current crop of "superhero" movies. That includes Kick-ass and Super. Such a shame that it isn't appreciated more.

I liked it, it was so bad it was good

It's a great flick ~

Your definitely not. I've seen Mystery Men about 5 times now and I love it! Its the type of movie I watch about once a year and enjoy it each time.

.. I am, in a word, terse.

You are not the only person that likes Mystery Men. This is a very clever and dryly witty film. There are some bathroom humor jokes that are funny as well. This is a well written film that has funny stuff all the way through it but it is subtle and you have to be paying attention to catch all of the humor because it is not all in your face slapstick. I guess for a 65 million dollar budget, people were expecting more. I really did find myself laughing throughout this film.


"Have a better one"

I love this movie and still watch it on a semi annual basis. Your not alone.

I don't have the problem of people who are "strident" in their dislike; but, I don't know too many people who love it. I was onboard when I first saw the trailer and giggled with delight in the theater. For the comics crowd, I think too many insecure comic fans thought it wasn't serious enough and took away from their desire to be seen as serious lovers of great literature (right or wrong). The mainstream probably didn't know what to think.

I had only read a little Bob Burden, so I had a vague acquaintance with his sense of humor; but had no clue about this. It has enough action fun for a superhero story, and enough smart comedy to be a great satire. Most of all, it has a sense of fun that is all too often missing from these things.

Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!
