Alicia I love this movie so much

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Scott LeBrun This howlingly absurd futuristic sci-fi actioner stars Barry Bostwick ("The Rocky Horror Picture Show", 'Spin City'), absolutely nobody's idea of an ideal action movie star. He plays the charismatic "Ace Hunter", leader of an elite fighting unit that is deployed whenever freedom is threatened. And this unit is set into motion when a fictional country begins to be terrorized by a flamboyant mercenary (Henry Silva, who's a hoot as usual). Among the people on Aces' team is easygoing Southerner "Dallas" (Michael Beck of "The Warriors" fame), who shoots at errant reptiles and delights in showing "holograms" to people.This is the kind of movie you enjoy for its utter cheesiness and ineptitude. While it may not be quite as terrible as some reviews will lead you to believe, it sure ain't much good, either. Still, stunt expert turned filmmaker Hal Needham ("Smokey and the Bandit", "The Cannonball Run") and his merry crew do have some fun here. A lot of their set pieces are quite simply chaotic and over the top, as they just go for broke and refuse to worry about it ever making much SENSE. There are explosions and vehicular stunts aplenty, as well as some sky diving. Although there is a gorgeous leading lady in Persis Khambatta ("Star Trek: The Motion Picture", "Nighthawks"), romance is not really in the air, since Ace doesn't want to involve an "outsider" like her in his mission. He says his men are like a machine that moves and acts as one.Bostwick is amusing, his miscasting be damned. He does seem to be enjoying himself. Silva, while not at his absolute best, is still in fine form as a smiling villain whom you can't really hate at all. The movie co-stars Edward Mulhare ("Our Man Flint", 'Knight Rider') as a military man and George Furth ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "Blazing Saddles") as a Q-style gadget, weaponry, and vehicle designer.Despite the ropey "Introvision" effects, this utterly goofy entertainment does possess a certain oddball charm.Five out of 10.

Fluke_Skywalker Plot; A top secret, multi-national strike force is summoned to defend a small nation from invasion by its aggressive neighbor.Debuting the same year as Hasbro's re-launched G.I. Joe (now dubbed A Real American Hero), Megaforce certainly seemed poised to be a smash hit. It was heavily advertised in comic books, offering kids a chance to join Megaforce via a mail-in fan club promotion (see above), there was a line of Hot Wheels (toy company Mattel is even credited with designing the movie's costumes) and even a game for the Atari 2600. But it was eviscerated by critics and only grossed around $5 million against a budget of $20 million. It was soon relegated to the wastelands of cable TV, where it became a staple for my generation.Directed by Hal Needham (Smokey and the Bandit, Rad), Megaforce looks and feels very much what a live-action G.I. Joe film would have had it been made during that era. Given its timing and the sort of appeal that would seemingly have snagged dads and sons, it's a bit head scratching that it was such a massive flop (and subsequently no surprise that it found a second life on cable). To be sure it's not a film for the lactose intolerant, but if you're one who appreciates the era, the genre and their trappings, it's a helluva lot of fun.

DS_Static_Omega Barry Bostwick's most shining cinematic moment.And I don't just mean as an actor, I literally mean shiny...The cast of this epically brilliant B-Movie Masterpiece are clad from head to toe in glimmering skin tight spandex. The bikes are fast, the hair is feathered and the force is on fire!Most people go into watching Megaforce under the assumption that it's a serious action film. It isn't in any way. The people who made Megaforce knowingly crafted a camp-comedy action farce. The dialogue and delivery are as cheesy as it gets, but that was the intention. Take this excerpt:ACE HUNTER: Here comes The Egg... DALLAS: And that's no "yolk." EGGSTRUM: Dallas, when a person doesn't have less on, they have...? DALLAS: More on? EGGSTRUM: Exactly. The most ridiculous situations and lines are said and played with total devotion. And on top of the vapid typical-action movie parody of a plot, all the over the top costumes, lines and stunts there is a winking self awareness that says the people who made this are just in it to have fun.This movie is pure cheese, but it's highly entertaining cheese. Enough to happily clog the heart of any viewer. Sit back and enjoy the ride, you wont regret it.
