    Absolute utter trash

    I watched this expecting a terrible movie but my gosh was it worse then I anticipated. It was 2 hours I will never get back and I honestly would rather sit through an hour of Justin Bieber then whatever this is!

    real home movie quality, or lack of it---

    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.

    Complete waste of time

    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!

    Too terrible for American audiences?

    I love how almost all the reviews on this are from folks in the UK. Apparently our "dollar stores" have too high a standard (as opposed to the English Pound Shops) to stock this terrible, mind numbingly awful film.

    Some pals and I had a bad movie night, and we watched "The Impossible Kid of Kung- Fu," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Black," and this movie. Take a guess on which was the worst of the bunch.

    Everything that has been said above covers everything you need to know about this movie. Just take my advice and bring more beer. However much you brought, bring more.

    .??????.?.?..?.?.?.?..?

    No words can describe how stupid this is. I'm losing brain cells. People saying this is a master piece and it's the best movie ever are fricking bots. Lmao this is garbage.
