MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Woodyanders Valiant and noble alien superhero Supersonic Man (brawny lunk Jose Luis Ayestaran) has to stop evil arch villain Dr. Gulik (a gloriously hammy portrayal by Cameron Mitchell) from taking over the planet as well as rescue his girlfriend Patricia (fetching brunette Diana Polakov) from Gulik's vile clutches.Man, does this hilariously horrendous honey possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a real four-star stinkeroonie: Ham-fisted (mis)direction by Juan Piquer Simon (who also co-wrote the idiotic script), a meandering narrative, shoddy (far from) special effects, a clunky box-like robot that looks like it stumbled off the set of a third-rate 1930's serial, cruddy dubbing (even Mitchell's voice is badly dubbed by another actor!), ineptly staged action set pieces, strained attempts at moronic humor (the comic relief drunk guy is especially annoying), a robust cornball score, lousy acting, and a sluggish pace that moves more slowly than an elderly tortoise on Quaaludes. A total schlocky riot.
a__j__p Supersonic man was made for the people waiting for Superman II(1980). It rips off the original Superman film in many scenes, but is still quite a good watch if you like superhero movies. The FX of our hero flying were not that great- however still far superior than Superman IV. Overall, not a bad film.
Nick Zbu A Spanish ripoff of the original Superman movie, the movie is cool for the first two minutes while the exposition for all of this is formed. Then, it happens: the music. The tinny, cheesy music. Then the obviously FAKE blue-screen work that shows our hero as flying through space. Then the movie falls apart as good FX work (laserblasts) and bad FX (the Puma Man flying sequences..no lie!) mishmash together with inadequate dubbing and Cameron 'Mitchel' (?) laughing like his helium was too concentrated. However, the stinger for this episode is when Supersonic Man decides to lift up a bulldozer and, thanks to the amazing art of editing, is shown to pick up this horribly fake particleboard recreation of a bulldozer. It's not even painted well to cover up this shoddy job. Then the regular viewer will lose all respect and this movie will go back to the comedy section of your local Hollywood Video and lay there until Hell freezes over. But if you are a lover of bad movies, this one is a must. If you loved 'Puma Man,' this is FAR more entertaining. Go knock yourself out. The costume of Supersonic Man is quite interesting, unlike the rest of this movie.
Writer-2 ...if you're a lover of bad cinema. From the horrible credit sequence which desperately tries to copy SUPERMAN, to the super cheesy flying sequences, to scenes of hero lifting up things like an incredibly fake looking, wooden (yes, wooden) bulldozer, director J.P. Simon delivers the goods yet again! The man who brought you PIECES and SLUGS doesn't disappoint. If you have no life, viewing this film is a must!!!
