Carlos M Good for kids or if you just got back from the dentist and are still high from the gas. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the joys of Disne+ is discovering things that you never knew existed. Did you ever know that Robert Townsend — yes, the man who made Hollywood Shuffle — directed and starred in a superhero movie two decades before the recent Marvel movie boom and The Incredibles? Bronze Eagle (Townsend) is super strong and can fly. His wife, Warrior Woman (Alex Datcher), is just as strong and can outfight nearly anyone. Their children Silver Charge (Kasan Butcher) and Molly have all manner of powers. Even the grandparents in this family, like Steel Condor(Sherman Hemsley!) and Doris (Joan Pringle) are superheroes. The only one that isn't is Scott (Michael J. Pagan), who may never get powers if he hits puberty before they manifest. Writer Dan Berendsen was also the scribe for numerous episodes of Sabrina, the remake of The Initiation of Sarah and the movies for Hanna Montana and The Wizards of Waverly Place. It's not the best superhero movie you've seen, but the idea that aluminum foil is the kryptonite for our heroes is pretty funny. And I dig the eventual hero name that Scott gets, Warrior Eagle. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A world where superheroes exist, your father is a superhero along with the rest of the family. What can go wrong. This is the story that is trying to be told but doesn't quite hit the mark with bland dialogue, aged visuals, and characters that aren't fleshed out. This premise is far richer than the execution leaving this movie to be sadly one of the forgettable ones. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
