Rise of the Black Bat

Okay, this is the first movie I have ever reviewed based on the trailer alone.

When the trailer started out, the tone of the narrator's voice gave me high hopes for a superb schlock film. But alas, as the tedious minute and a half wore on it became apparent this did not live up to the reputation of quality schlock; it was just plain bad.

It's not often one can judge a movie from just the trailer, but at about the 45-second point I became judge, jury and executioner, quite confident in my decision to NOT turn that wasted time into an hour and a half. All I want to say to the producers of this film is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for releasing a trailer and saving us all from spending our time attempting to watch the actual movie itself.

Up until this film I thought spoiler trailers were a bad thing.

Man just looking at the trailer was enough for me, this movie was made with no budget and a old batman suit i guess.

All those actors if you read the bio are all in the same bad movies its like they follow each other onto other bad bad projects.

Because at least they had some level of acting. This piece of crap has to be one of the worst Pictures to be ever produced. Brett Kelly can't ever stop can he? What's more astounding than that they released it at all, is the fact that it got INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION and got DUBBED! I wouldn't even wonder if they did the French version themselves (It's a Canadian production after all). The "actors" are probably some neighbourhood friends of his, who all shared the same dream of becoming famous. Well, it would've succeeded if they went into the Porn-Business. And that's basically everything theres to say about this movie. It's so boring that my review doesn't even reach the required characters, so let's do a bit of filler, shall we? There are low-budget movies that turn out to be big successes (e.g. Friday the 13th), there are low-budget movies that are so bad they're good (e.g. All of John Waters' early films) and then there's Brett Kelly Entertainment, the most boring, cheapest, worst kind of movie there is. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go and watch "Lion and the King 2" (or was it 3?).

There's hardly anything to recommend this bottom-of-the-barrel cheap attempt to be a superhero thriller with poor results in all departments and not even room for involuntary laughs.

There's nothing decent to be said of this film. Well, there are a couple of actresses who are easy on the eyes. However, other than a few pretty faces, this film is inauspicious. I am unable to come upon reason to suggest this film to anyone.

Although, if you are one who is able to realize a farcical value in such enervating films which suffer; unpropitious lighting and sound; unsightly or unimaginative set and costume design; languid scripts containing often nonsensical, diaphanous or practically nonexistent plots (porno plots); vacuous and often nonsensical directing which acts to only further disquiet and confound the often exanimate, diffident, unseasoned or untalented actors who have likely been left nonplus and prostrate in the wake of a tenuous or execrable script, then this movie may be just what you're looking for.

My wife enjoyed this movie. She said it was so bad that it was funny. I think her to suffer a slightly skewed perspective.
