Disturbing yet enthralling
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
Ian Sparks (Chase Williamson) joins with mutants to avenge the death of his parents. He discovers that not everyone is honest in this age of vigilante super heroes. The complex plot takes some nice twists in this comic book adventure set in 1948.The film reminded me a little of the Warren Beatty "Dick Tracy" film. I would say if you couldn't stomach those sets, skip this one.Parental Guide: No f-bombs. No nudity. Sex scenes and prostitution theme.
View MoreThere is nothing new to the plot since the Watchmen were issued some 30 years ago. Adding sadistic scenes of torture does not make it any better, except maybe for a sadistic audience.The film looks like a bad stage play with sub par CGI added in the background. Half of the plot is actually narrated instead of shown or suggested, which is a terrible way of doing cinema.The fight scenes are bad, but not even laughably bad, and the acting is appalling (especially Mrs Bell and her stony face, more suited to another Z movie like "the day").Frankly I cannot imagine people writing 10/10 reviews of this piece of junk or giving these reviews an up vote without being paid to do so.
View MoreThis is just my two cents and not an attempt at writing a pro review. I was ready for this movie to be a piece of crap, so I got pleasantly surprised. I think the plot was great and the costumes was corny as hell - which threw me off a bit in the beginning (that and the lead up to the main storyline which was confusing as to where we we're going). But it soon became apparent to be that i had stumbled into a old school noir movie which isn't about polished superheroes, but "normal" people trying to make a difference. It still has the usual good vs evil with a hint of romance in it, with a red line that keeps you interested throughout the film. People who say this is the worst crap they have seen must be watching only the best there is. Overall a decent flick.
View MoreI have to agree with a previous reviewer that clearly there were shenanigans with the inflated reviews on this movie. Based on this high review I watched the movie and had to turn it off around halfway through because of the horrible acting and ridiculous story line. The low budget of the movie didn't bother me greatly, as I think great things can be done with creative lighting and compelling story-telling. This movie did not do any of that.The review score seems to be sinking rapidly and probably deserves to be in the 5 range, with an extra point knocked off for the score manipulation.It's a terrible movie with apparently deceitful marketers behind it. Don't reward them with anything higher than a 4.
