Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Ivan Caponi Ladies, Guys, please, find something else to do. Go out, drink something, watch a TV series, go surfing, organize a party or have a great dinner with your friends...or just watch something else if you want to stay on your sofa after a day full of stress..but please, do not loose your time with this horrible, nonsense, embarrassing movie, if "movie" is the exact definition, term, i don't think so. If the word "movie" has a meaning, if Stanley Kubrick, Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Terry Gilliam, Quentin Tarantino, David Linch and a long, boring list of great directors, has some meaning for you, please, use these 130 minutes to do something smarter.(sorry for my English, i'm Italian, it's already a miracle ;) )
michael-51-881994 If you've read this far, you have a general idea of what you're in for if you watch this flick. I'll just add this to the mix:(possible spoilers below, but nothing huge) 1) Connery approaches the role as if he's wearing an "I'd Rather Be Watching The Weather Channel" tee shirt. There's not a lot of passion here, and those of us in the audience understand why.2)He gets his powers from lying in bed under a bulb or something. It's like being able to fly after going to the tanning salon a few times.3)The special effects team needed to borrow a few ideas from Lee Majors' "Six Million Dollar Man," where slow motion with strobe effects equaled super speed. Connery's jerky, sped-up motion makes it seem as if "Yackety Sax" from the old Benny Hill show should be playing in the background.4)The idea of getting your super suit from a sporting goods store has been the cause of a lot of snark here, but it immediately put me in mind of the Guardian, a 1940's hero created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon who did much the same thing. It's an idea that could have worked if it had been scripted better, acted better, and if the suit on the actor had looked better. The audience will buy into a lot if it actually works.5)A speedster covering his face because his little jaunts give him an awesome case of windburn? That's a cool little idea that makes sense, one that I'd never thought of before.6)As everyone says, Python's makeup stole the show. Violent dude, though. If he likes Lucky Charms and you're a Cap'n Crunch fan, you could wind up with a bullet in your head. Just sayin'. He's that kind of guy.
sexytail 43 year old Jason Connery plays a "ghost squad" agent who must fight his old friend Daniel Goddard who has turned into a snake man named Python. Connery gets trapped in a collapsing building and then irradiated at the hospital which gives him the power to run in fast forward. His costume is a bunch of crap from a sporting goods store. Python has an awesome makeup job and a plot to destroy the government for non-specific revenge, but he's equally silly.The quality of this production is so crude that it makes most low budget TV movies look good. It's full of choppy slow motion, unnecessary dissolves, and ultra cheap CG special effects. Things blur and ghost a lot in an attempt to hide the unprofessional shooting, even though it just makes it look worse. The camera work is mindless and the score is canned. Not to mention the acting, which is typical of TV movies and straight to video junk. Python is especially bad since the guy under the makeup is trying to do the villain voice the whole time.Connery never looks like anything but a middle aged loser in a jogging suit. This seems careless as all they really needed to do was put a girdle and a hairpiece on him. Apart from this, his performance makes it obvious he never would have been in movies in the first place if his father hadn't been Sean Connery.Connery's character, Daniel Leight (leight, light, Lightspeed! Get it?) has a girlfriend played by Nicole Eggert. She's also part of the "ghost squad" (which is supposed to be a kind of special forces meet SWAT team) which is a pretty laughable concept as she is just another disposable Baywatch bimbo. Naturally she winds up as bait later in the film.It's weak and predictable every step of the way. More than anything it feels like a knockoff of "Black Mask 2" which was worthless anyhow. It's 88 minutes are an eternity for any halfway discerning movie viewer. Oh, and Lee Majors is in it. Enough said.
Secondsix This was the worst movie I have seen on sci-fi and they are notorious for producing the worst movies ever.I cannot believe Stan lee put his name on this but after seeing who wants to be a superhero I now know.I will start with the plot. Flash meets Darkman nuff said, nothing original. Casting, our lead hero has a comb over and looks like he's pushing 50 plus. The henchman look like no-budget porn extras. And the effects were ridiculous, even the Flash TV series from 16 years ago had better effects. If this was made in the 1950's that would explain the really bad special effects. The story and dialog you can imagine is par with the rest of the production value. Okay the worst thing was our hero's costume, he goes to a sporting goods store and the salesman goes in the back and gets his suit, that's it. And it looks like a costume from a homemade comic book fan movie. I would say I liked the python character until his comical fight scenes.Watching QVC is more entertaining.
