Metal Man

the pound shop beckoned and i bought this thinking it would be OK and entertaining for the price, at least funny for the bad reasons. Oh how i was wrong.

This has got to be the most god awful piece of crap ever to exist. Quite an obvious rip off of iron man, although it does not mention it. any one who watches this will have an hour and a half of their life wasted, I'm posting this to make sure no one else makes the same mistake i did.

Just because a film comes from a pound shop, it does not mean it will be decent. i learnt a lesson when i bought this and am careful with all low budget films now

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

wow. like somebody had a halloween costume that kinda resembled Ironman and someone else had a camera and everyone decides " Hey gang, let's make a movie..we've got a costume and a camera!" Acting is high school play quality. The rare 'special fx' are perhaps the only good thing in this, one hesitates to call it, film, tho limited to force shields and morphing. Reggie 'Phantasm' Bannister stands around wearing a lab coat and almost no hair now except that famous pony-tail and reads cue-cards in a semi-Conscious state--not unlike the state this movie produces in it's watchers. surely you've got something better to do with your time. even syfy channel wouldn't show this. Useful only as a sleep-aid. Do not operate heavy machinery after watching this movie. Side effects may include drowsiness, lack of focus, drooling, loss of faith in humanity, and rectal leakage.

This is just unbelievable. As a home piece it may be funny for the authors to laugh at their piece. As a joke for the beer party it works pretty well. But this piece made it to the retail somehow and it is being sold for real money, which is not funny. Not at all. I think this may be acceptable for early morning cable TV, but it is way too stupid, uninventive and just dull. The "superhero" movies are usually not the brightest ones, but this is only derivative of the derivative - completely predictable and boring. No decent effects, pathetic combat, just tons of boring talks. On a positive side - the black haired girl (Katherine Pawlak) is really pretty and she is probably the only one that seems not to overact horribly. So one point for her. As for the script and director: I do hope this is just a home movie attempt. Please do not make any other movies for sale - find another job instead.

I just couldn't believe how awful this film was.. what a waste of time. The acting is atrocious.. the lead Samual Nathen Hoffmire (Kyle/Metal Man.. a relative unknown, delivers an almost camp portrayal of a hero who i would of thought should of been a tad more masculine.. whilst even the most known actor in this film Reggie Bannister (Dr Blake)(Phantasm 1-4) delivers a less than ideal performance, the whole cast has been plucked from the depths of low budget films.. only to do another! The only actor who has some weight behind him is Scott Levy (Leon) who had an uncredited roll in Pearl Harbour. The plot is ropey with no real direction. Even the filming it self is below par, with out of focus shots and poor angles. The special effects are practically none existent.. and the only bit of good music is the end titles.. which brought the whole disappointment to an end.. thankfully!!

To end i have to quote my 13 yr old son who started to watch this film and walked out after 15 minutes! His comment made me laugh though 'i've seen better power rangers dad'. Says it all really. Awful Awful Awful! On every level!

This is what would happen if the MCU was a low budget Cinematic universe. Iron Man would've been considered one of the worst movies of all time. This is the movie I think of, A Horribly put together mess. I wouldn't recommend this movie to ANYONE.
