Metal Man (2008)

Even when taking into account that it's low budget and that it's not to be taken seriously, Iron Hero is inexcusably bad and with no entertainment value.It looks bad for starters, the photography is washed out and enough to make one dizzy, the sets are incredibly simplistic in how they look and limited in number(they all don't look anything like what they're meant to be), the costumes are of second hand fancy dress-quality and the special effects while wisely not excessively used are artificially cartoonish. The music is sluggish, generic stuff that's only there for the sake of it without adding to anything that's happening. The muddied sound quality doesn't help.The movie is dreadfully written too, with a script with a lot of talk that a lot of the time goes nowhere, being only there to pad out the running time, and peppered with ham-fisted and awkwardly paced dialogue. The story is incredibly tedious and is barely existent, with nothing thrilling, fun or suspenseful in sight and with clichés that would fill a whole novel. Don't expect good action sequences, the action here is very lazily choreographed that makes the worst SyFy/Asylum action sequences seem professional in comparison and so choppily edited that it is not always easy to discern who's who. The (very) stereotypical characters range between annoying and bland, and less said about the acting the better, with a lead hero that is boorishly uncharismatic and as stiff as a board and a lead villain that takes camp to uncomfortable extremes.All in all, very bad and inexcusably. 1/10, and that is solely for the cool DVD cover.

This movie is just plain terrible. It has bad acting, a bad storyline plus the cameraman cant keep the camera still. This movie is a cheap rip off of iron man. I definitely wouldn't recommend this movie anyone unless you want to be bored out of your mind. I lost interest about 15 minutes into the movie as it is very unwatchable! im sure a lot of people would agree with me when i say why would you even make this movie. None of my friends or family have had anything good to say about this even my little cousins who are 7 and 4 lost interest in this. This movie definitely goes on my top 10 worst movies i have seen. All i can say is do not watch this movie it is a complete waste of time. I give it a 1 out of 10

I've had this film for a while and have been waiting to watch it with a few of my mates, it's been one of those things we've been waiting to do because it seemed so bad it just had to be good, I wish I didn't bother! This film is terrible! It's slow, boring, the effects are dog nosh and none of it makes sense. I can't understand why the end credits show him flying around the city like iron man, shooting down planes and stuff, but none of this is even mentioned in the film! There's no mention of the ability to fly! Those 90 minutes I spent watching this will never be given back to me, I feel robbed...this crap cost me £2! The guy wears trainers for Christ sake!! Enough said, rant over! Avoid this piece of donkey crap

I just couldn't believe how awful this film was.. what a waste of time. The acting is atrocious.. the lead Samual Nathen Hoffmire (Kyle/Metal Man.. a relative unknown, delivers an almost camp portrayal of a hero who i would of thought should of been a tad more masculine.. whilst even the most known actor in this film Reggie Bannister (Dr Blake)(Phantasm 1-4) delivers a less than ideal performance, the whole cast has been plucked from the depths of low budget films.. only to do another! The only actor who has some weight behind him is Scott Levy (Leon) who had an uncredited roll in Pearl Harbour. The plot is ropey with no real direction. Even the filming it self is below par, with out of focus shots and poor angles. The special effects are practically none existent.. and the only bit of good music is the end titles.. which brought the whole disappointment to an end.. thankfully!! To end i have to quote my 13 yr old son who started to watch this film and walked out after 15 minutes! His comment made me laugh though 'i've seen better power rangers dad'. Says it all really. Awful Awful Awful! On every level!
