Christopher Orr L.A. Weekly Self-conscious camp like this can weather (even requires) a certain degree of amateurishness. But there are limits, and Surge of Power's sloppy writing and talent-show performances quickly exceed them. Mar 23, 2006 Full Review Johnny Gayzmonic Fanboys of the Universe [It] lives very comfortably in its low-budget vibe. It'sself-aware and self-serious in roughly equal measures. Rated: 6/10 May 22, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Even though the acting may seem extremely bad/silly and the plot is quite straightforward, the movie is written in a way to keep every scene quite entertaining. The actors seem extremely aware of the movie's campiness, which just makes this movie a lot more fun. If you like TaEASGJ, King of the Hill, and other shows/movies with more subtle humor then this is the movie for you. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was super duper dumb. The gay superhero was scrawny, ugly and flamey. And it wasn't even the good flamey gay. I sat through the first 45 minutes. No way Jose am I sitting through the rest. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't mind the occassional low budget queer movie - especially if its a comedy - but damn! This SUCKED. We watched it the whole way through hoping it would redeem itself, but no dice. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Best Superhero Movie in Years !!
