The Electric Man

Yep here we go again someone with too many dollars and not enough sense has made a movie, unfortunately they didn't have enough for a capable scriptwriter, competent director or actors capable of expressing anything other than a shout to indicate anger.

Even Eric 'where's my paycheck' Roberts also succumbs to that failing.

Why oh why do these dingbats do this instead of parking their egos and investing in the huge range of whatchamacallit, talent, currently littering the planet who are able to write, direct or act in a great movie if only they had the dollars to realise their goal.

Don't believe the spruikers who have posted reviews outta either care for their friends who made this turkey or the dollars whatever rich fool who funded it paid them.

This movie fails on every aspect of film-making. In fact its a damn shame the DP remembered to remove the lens cap.

Ok it's not completely terrible but so not worth watching IF you have nothing else to do, are bored, can't find anything to watch watching it at 2x the normal speed, it's not terrible it's an interesting concept feels more like a school project type film the acting isn't bad, i've seen a lot worse, but it's just...eh....for a movie, no, for a one man type show, it's ok....as I said ;) watch it at 2x the speed and it's tolerable.

Nothing that I saw made any sense, nobody had seen the script more than an hour before they started shooting, none of the 'acting' was even worthy of being called acting and nothing compelled me to watch after the first few minutes !

The camera work and lighting were acceptable and the editing didn't suck too badly but those are the only good things you can say about this garbage, don't waste your time !

What The Electric Man does have is some interesting ideas and dialogue about life, how we live it and the choices we make. Or whether we even have the ability to choose or if everything is predestined and fated. I know these are heavy subjects and a lot of viewers will find themselves bored by them. But there's a vein of humour through a lot of the film that keeps it from getting too ponderous and heavy, a fairly impressive task given the material at hand. Viewers who don't mind dialogue-heavy films and serious themes should find The Electric Man an interesting watch. While it does have a point of view it never pushes it to the point of alienating those, like myself, who don't necessarily agree with it. I will say I wasn't thrilled by the way it all works out in the end, but others will probably get a chuckle from it.

This movie was pathetic!

The acting was horrible, cinematography terrible, script even more terrible. At what point are they going to start paying us to put up with such trash movies... I mean why bother making them at all!? Why not just use your old camcorder and make your own movie to watch yourself at home so other people dont have to put up with it.
