      Augusto Martínez Torres El Pais (Spain) The actors have no personality, the special effects are poor, and there's a notable lack of imagination. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Terrible ripoff of Superman. Painful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member What do you get when you take a bunch of elements from what's popular in the late seventies and you give them to a foreign filmmaking company? Why you get Supersonic Man, of course! If anyone reading this has seen Puma Man before, then you probably know what you're in for. It's basically like this: a superhero from another galaxy comes to Earth to stop a madman from doing... something. Sound familiar? Yeah so it's basically Superman: The Movie meets Star Wars. Cheese-king Cameron Mitchell is on hand to keep things lively as always, and if you've seen the Rifftrax version of the movie, then you know you're in for a treat. It's not a good movie, but it's definitely a "so bad that it's good" kind of movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Shockingly bad.. terrible movie! The robot and the crazy man add half a star each xD Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Cameron Mitchell really plays his role to the hilt. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member If you thought the '78 was ridiculous, you have no idea. Obviously this is an attempt to market on the popularity of Superman this Italian flick only serves to make the film it's imitating look like Citizen Kane in comparisson. Basicially, this Alien Humanoid chills out, asleep it seems, it his ridiculously large spaceship, waiting for a big head on a video screen to send him to a planet to take care of shit. When it is time to take care of said shit our friend hops into a red unitard accessorized with a cape, boots, gloves, mask, emblem, belt, over-underwear all made of blue (fucking) glitter. Needless to say at first appearance I was scratching my head wondering if he was actually going to save earth or just check out some gay discos. The dude that earth needs saving from is some d-bag who spends his days in a control room sending his minions and giant robot to kidnap scientists and scientists' daughters in order to fill them in on how they can/are going about destroying the world. And it goes from there... Complete and utter zanyness ensues does to the most laughable special effects ever the be attempting seriousness and even its heavy dose of goofy and slapsticky humour. This really is a fucking appalingly great bad movie and should be enjoyed by kids who want nightmares and adults who have lost their minds completely. I'm sure I touch on both categories. (NOTE: this score reflects the film's entertainment value and enjoyment of the overall product, but whether it's bad or not, what it isn't for sure is boring) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this at just the right age. It may be the best super hero movie ever made. I am not, how you say, being serious. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
