I'd have to say the movie turned out to be a little better than I had expected. But, maybe that's not saying much since I didn't expect a great deal to begin with. Independent of my expectations, Mystery Men turned out to be fairly entertaining about half-way through the film (finally) and truly fun in the last 20 minutes. For me, the first half was a bit slow and I struggled to get into it.
If I had to complain about one thing, it would probably be the degree of predictability in Mystery Men (maybe it should have been called Predictable Men?). But, if I had to praise one thing, it would be the portrayal of the off-beat characters and all their flaws that "normal" heroes don't have in the movies these days.
