Who payed the critics

A Brilliant Conflict

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I love how almost all the reviews on this are from folks in the UK. Apparently our "dollar stores" have too high a standard (as opposed to the English Pound Shops) to stock this terrible, mind numbingly awful film.Some pals and I had a bad movie night, and we watched "The Impossible Kid of Kung- Fu," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Black," and this movie. Take a guess on which was the worst of the bunch.Everything that has been said above covers everything you need to know about this movie. Just take my advice and bring more beer. However much you brought, bring more.

This movie is just plain terrible. It has bad acting, a bad storyline plus the cameraman cant keep the camera still. This movie is a cheap rip off of iron man. I definitely wouldn't recommend this movie anyone unless you want to be bored out of your mind. I lost interest about 15 minutes into the movie as it is very unwatchable! im sure a lot of people would agree with me when i say why would you even make this movie. None of my friends or family have had anything good to say about this even my little cousins who are 7 and 4 lost interest in this. This movie definitely goes on my top 10 worst movies i have seen. All i can say is do not watch this movie it is a complete waste of time. I give it a 1 out of 10

So me and my brother really like superhero films so when one of my cool friends from uni suggested this film. i was like sure thing bro. so after purchasing metal man from amazon for what seemed a reasonable price of £12.95 (excluding P&P), me and my bro got like 7 bags of popcorn and sat down to watch what was promised to be the most original and best superhero film since dirty dancing hit our screens. but shock horror, metal man turned out to be a total remake of Adam west's batman minus the characters, the plot, the locations and the props. me and my bro were so angry that he cried. this film made my brother cry real tears. c'mon metal man, what do you have to say now? also Sandra bullock is not in this film. disappointing :(

Metal Man/Iron Hero is a masterpiece of a film. First of all, the whole thing appears to have been shot on the cheapest camera possible, using the most static, repetitive camera angles imaginable. The actors are awkward and stilted, the settings are primarily composed of peoples living rooms and back gardens, and the special effects are photo-shop standard. The pacing varies between tedious exposition scenes, and the slowest, most awkward fights possible. And despite being a fairly blatant attempt to rip off Iron Man, the titular Iron Hero more resembles a rejected Power-Ranger villain, his supposedly bullet-proof armour slowly disintegrating throughout the movie.But these general complaints fail to scratch the surface of what makes this such an awesomely bad movie. Highlights include: 1) Dr Blake's lab quite clearly being someone's garage, inexplicably filled with fire extinguishers.2) The villain looking awkward in a suit a few sizes too large for him, apparently aware that his evil lair is just someone's tackily furnished living room.3) Iron Hero jabbing nutrient fluid into a hole in his neck, whilst unnecessarily epic music blares.4) Dr Blake dying from being lightly pushed over.5) The sheer amount of times Iron Hero crushes someones fist.6) Watching the poor guy inside the Iron Hero costume try to move, run, and even drive a car, despite the fact that the wrists of the suit pretty much trap his hands.7) The villain dying by having all his bones inexplicably dissolved.8) Iron Hero obviously wearing trainers with his impenetrable robot suit.9) The mechanical voice for Iron Hero making almost all his lines incomprehensible gibberish.10) A romantic embrace, during which both characters are wearing identical, scowling robot helmets.
