San Francisco Chronicle - Bob Graham
Maybe it's no mystery how they did it, considering the aggregate comic talent, but this bunch achieves peaks of sublime nuttiness.

Slate - David Edelstein
One of those half-straight, half-spoof comic-book extravaganzas that don't ever work, and what's neat is that this one does--beautifully.
75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Unnamed
This spoof's heart is genuinely warm.
70
L.A. Weekly - F. X. Feeney
Mystery Men gives proof that satire isn't dead.

Variety - Unnamed
Sharply written, with a lavish look and top-drawer effects adding to the appeal of its large and talented cast, pic achieves a nice balance of fondness and satiric snap, character laughs and goofy action.
