One of the best films i have seen

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The film of Exoman has, to my knowledge, only ever been seen by myself and my friend John. Periodically I make a point of asking new acquaintances whether or not the have caught the movie and the answer has always, always been NO. This adds to the film's mass intrigue. Other elements of the film that add to this are the insane plot. Are the people that made this film a band of comic geniuses? At maybe more than one moment in the past they must have sat around a table and discussed the script. Were these meetings minuted? Conducted in a hail of intoxicants? Were mental folk brought in as consultants?Exoman is a festival of incredulity. For example the film is nearly over by the time he gets a crime fighting, most of the film regards a scientist doing research and development, he makes the exosuit airtight (for what reason?) which very nearly kills him and he has to be rescued by a child in an alley! (The obviously scared urchin approaches the downed bright orange limbed cylinder and opens an air tap, as you would.)To strengthen what may be seen to be gaping holes in the story the film is bolstered by lines such as, "Isn't that the compound we found to be bullet proof?" (A fact that somehow means a jeep, when driven directly at him at speed, bounces off?)If there is one thing that I would change about the film it would be that it gets on the National Curriculum for England and Wales and taught in maths lessons. This film is quite clearly a work of modern art that should make Damain Hurst, Tracey Emin et al take a good long look at the work they're producing.

I remember watching this movie, on NBC, way back when. And, while I knew it was meant to be the pilot to a series, I also knew it would not take off, like "The Six Million Dollar Man." That being said, here are some potential spoilers on the pro-side. The exo-skeleton was cumbersome-looking but still cool, for 1977. Sort of like ex-Iron Man-villain the Crimson Dynamo. Except, the hero couldn't fly. And,the way he plowed through that brick wall to bust up Jose Ferrer's mob was something even Bionic Steve Austin couldn't manage without tearing a shirt sleeve (and the synthetic skin of the prosthetic arm inside it)!In short: I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT GIVE THIS MOVIE ANYTHING WORSE THAN TWO STARS.

This Old TV movie is a Direct steal of the Marvel Comics Character IRON MAN,The Lead in ths TV movie builds a metal suit to keep him alive,Like Tony Stark[IRON MAN] does,cheesey effects,so-so story,make this Tele-movie nothing to write home about

I saw this movie when I was a little kid. It's about a crippled man that builds a suit that allowed him to walk and he ended up trying to be a crime fighter. He almost looks like a walking red bullet or missile. He had one weakness, a lack of air in the power suit. For some reason I really thought this movie was cool. By the way, the suit was bullet proof. I would love to see this movie on Mystery Science Theater 3000.BGR
