Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam'in Oglu

Every major cult film fan has watched "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam" (Man who saves the world) aka Turkish Star Wars. Quarter a century after that was released ,we get a sequel -"Dunyayi Kurtaran Adamin oglu" (Son of the man who saves the world). While the original was meant to be a serious science fiction adventure, this one attempts to be a parody of the old film and various other science fiction films in the vein of G.O.R.A. Needless to say, the result is cinematic sewage.

The film is a basically a serious of gags , none of which are close to being remotely funny. The acting is even worse. Erbil has already sealed his spot in the acting hall of shame with the lame shrek-wannabe Keloglan (he was even worse than Petek Dincoz, which should tell you how amazingly bad he was). Cuneyt Arkin seems to be sleepwalking. Sinem Kobal who is one of the most promising young Turkish actresses working today, would want to erase this off her resume for her career's sake.

The sad news is that this film actually did well at the box office, so we will soon be hit with the inevitable sequel. Let's hope that it completely flops so that the public is spared from another 2 hours of garbage.

I tried to watch this film, I really did - I happened to be at someone's home and their young nephew had brought this movie to keep himself entertained. In goes the DVD, and there upon the TV screen I see Mehmet Ali Erbil prancing around in all his glory. The movie banks heavily on Mr. Erbil's "irresistible" charm - To say that the filmmakers overestimated Erbil's abilities is the understatement of the decade.

Basically, the film is a campy 'remake' of Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (AKA: "Turkish Star Wars"; Semi-literal translation "The Man Who Saved the World" ) that retains none of the original film's crude charm. This movie is just so poorly constructed it isn't even as unintentionally funny as the original - There is simply no way to excuse the people behind this film for being so lazy and crass.

However, I don't think it deserves to be in the Bottom 100 - It's a trashy movie, there is no sense in debating that point, but there are many other titles more deserving of such an 'honor' both within and outside of the world of Turkish cinema. Seriously, some of the sleazy movies that come on late at night make this movie look like a Shakespearean classic on film.

This is type of film that will act as late night filler for years to come in Turkey, but it's hardly the worst thing out there. I do not recommend this movie to anyone other than rabid Mehmet Ali Erbil fans and people who have their heart set on seeing what all the fuss is about.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen and even though I'm not an expert, I know one or two things about movies. The only reason this movies exists is because the producers wanted to get their share after the first movie; infamous ''Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (1982)'' became a cult classic.

The acting is terrible, the dialogues are mindless and It doesn't even have a proper storyline. This is my first review (as the lazy person I am) I never wrote anything on this site before but since the first movie is a cult classic and its coming from my country, I just wanted to warn you people who might think ''well the first one was really interesting and grotesque, maybe this one is good too.''

Its not, and If you are interested in Turkish movies, I recommend Nuri Bilge Ceylan's movies. I wish you a happy day.

This title is not originally meant to be a sequel.Not just because there is a 25 year gap, also there is no connectivity between two story lines.Only connection available is the former antagonist. And he is seen like 5 minutes. People may think that all the negative opinions may not reflect the truth or not objective. I' m sorry they are objective.There is not even one good point about this movie.The original one had a weird, awful storyline, plot, as a matter of fact a meaning.Deep down there, you may understand the work.But this title; well nothing more than a scary movie trial.Same solid lack of storyline, same concrete example of NOT acting.Well, there are certain examples special effects which are not bad indeed. But that fact doesn't help. As the result, this movie is nothing more than a shell. There is no inside. Just a commercial thing using the name of a cult movie. .If you have time and if you have really no reason to do something else, go watch.

Arkin is the only character who reappears, the story sucks and the special effects suck.
