“Not your classic superheroes...they're the other guys.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A team of bargain-bin superheroes must rescue a city that has invested in the wrong celebrity protector. Their powers are questionable, their disagreements are excellent, and the villains understand presentation. The ensemble banter is the reward; two hours is a lot of time to spend interviewing applicants.
