“Average Joe” (*1/2 out of four) was a cheesy Marvel/DC/comic-book wannabe about the title avenger (Jason Sedillo) who must defend his home turf of San Antonio when the malevolent Lord Menace (Camden Toy) returns from the dead to wreak havoc once again and he has to round up his other group of friends (Taylor James Johnson, Akasha Villabolos, and others) to get back into shape and get back into the world of crime-fighting. Writer/director Mark Cantu seems to be trying for something in the vein of “Shazam” and “Spider Man” but he’s constricted by a miniscule budget which makes this look shoddy at best. Film’s poster may remind you of “The Avengers” but this is overall a below-average effort.
