Avenging Force: The Scarab (2010)

I usually enjoyed bad movie but this one is just so pitiful I'm just angry at the time I wasted watching it, which feels like about four hours of my life. Then again that's probably just because this was so bad.You see this isn't one of those bad movies that is fun to watch because the poorly done parts and bad acting and child level writing are so dumb that you can laugh at it, no, this is one of those movies that is just bad in a very annoying way. Nothing in this movie is good or even slightly entertaining at all. It's just a very badly produced movie with awful picture and sound quality, non actors trying to act and a script that's just boring, boring, BORING.The only thing even remotely close to being somewhat OK is the well done poster/DVD cover. Don't be fooled by it though, this is just a total dud masquerading as an Avengers spoof or ripoff and trying desperately to look like an actual movie.Lowest possible rating on this one.

As good as a shortfilm of any highschool kids. U cant watch this garbage. Worst actors and maybe recored with a iphone 3.

I've seen a version of the ultra-low budget superhero movie AVENGING FORCE: THE SCARAB on YouTube that was dubbed into German and clearly heavily edited (according to the IMDb, the film is 85 minutes long, but the version I watched was less than an hour in length). AVENGING FORCE was written, produced & directed by Canadian film-maker (and occasional comic book publisher) Brett Kelly, who has performed one or more of the same duties on several other superhero movies: IRON SOLDIER (2010), THUNDERSTORM: THE RETURN OF THOR (2011), AGENT BEETLE (2012) and RISE OF THE BLACK BAT (2012). AVENGING FORCE was filmed under the title 'THE SCARAB' but re-titled prior to release. It's easy to assume that this was an attempt to cash in on Marvel's AVENGERS franchise, but AVENGING FORCE was released on DVD in North America in 2010, two years before the first AVENGERS movie reached cinemas. With the exception of IRON SOLDIER, all of Brett Kelly's superhero movies feature genuine Golden Age comic book heroes whose copyright has lapsed and now exist in the public domain. In addition to The Scarab, AVENGING FORCE also has The Woman In Red, The Black Terror, the original Daredevil (renamed 'Doubledare' to avoid any legal problems with Marvel), and Lady Satan (although a heroine in the original comics, she's portrayed as one of the movie's villains - perhaps Kelly thought a heroic character named 'Lady Satan' would be a hard sell in an America where some churches organise mass-burnings of HARRY POTTER books). Although I'm not fluent in German, while watching AVENGING FORCE I was still able to work out the basics of the movie's plot (who was doing what to whom, and why) and I enjoyed the film for what it was. I thought the action scenes were well handled, and I was amused that the covert intelligence organization employing The Women In Red was called N.E.D.O.R., after Golden Age publishers Nedor Comics.

Starring : Mark Redfield. You know you're being entertained with 'silver age comic book' heroes like Scarab,Black Terror and Double Dare. This film besides the subject being related to an old comic,Is very serious in tone. The effects are cheap,But edge of the computer tech accomplishment. Costumes are best feature with an authentic ring.Acting,'Scarab' actor kind of looks like Donny Osmond,Female lead 'RED' may be too young for role,'Black Terror' actor stole the movie except when MARK REDFIELD did his 'Nick Fury-ish' turn.Brett Kelly is quite a candidate for triple threat of 'Direct To Video' film-making,This Canadian effort is quite a teaser for Seth Rogen's "GREEN HORNET" and a possible webisode series of AVENGING FORCE.
