in the history of movie base on comic book and mystery men be one of the most underrated one . this be no regular comic superhero movie . it follow the exploit of a motley crew of well mean wannabe and which include mr. furious ( play by ben stiller ) and the bowler ( janeane garofalo ) and the shoveller ( william h. macy ) and the blue rajah ( hank azariah ) and the spleen ( paul reuben ) . mystery men spoof several aspect of superhero movie like superman or batman and such a the pithy saying and and the question about secret identity . most of the superheroes aren not billionaire like bruce wayne and but blue collar type with menial job and neurotic home life . so it look a if director kinka usher be make the hero into something the average viewer can relate to . i find mystery men to be visually stimulating and very funny . even if it doesn not turn into a franchise and it still a joy to watch .
