Reviews
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
poe-48833 El Santo this guy AIN'T. As much as I hate to say it, THE MASKED SAINT plays out not unlike my own RATMAN series done decades ago for Public Access (with the notable exception of the religious angle). THE MASKED SAINT is the kind of clichéd storytelling normally the stock and trade of Television producers (where everything used to be as "comforting" to the mindless masses who suckled nightly as was humanly possible; this made the hawking of snake oil more palatable). In a world where a hundred people can be gunned down in a single night by a lone gunman, it behooves anyone who wants to make a masked hero movie to dig a bit deeper than this.
thegaleas I was hoping this would be an enjoyable family movie, but I was sadly let down. I found it to be very predictable, schmaltzy, has a poor story line, average acting, obviously low budget, poor camera work, poor lighting, average sound and directing. Like many movies these days, it was garbage. It was soooo pathetically mindless with things starting so bad for all the characters then like magic, everything ended so fantastically for everyone. I think this movies market was for the lower socio economic, wrestling fans of the extreme right wing bible belt of the USA. I must say, that whenever Diahann Carroll came on, the quality lifted considerably (which wasn't that much) and I have never seen her before. I think the part she had to play in this movie was obviously WAY below her capabilities. I suppose I have been spoilt by some of many priestly classics like Going My Way (1944), Boys Town (1938), It's a Wonderful Life (1946) or even Sister Act (1992). Is this movie worth your time? I say no! We are all entitled to our opinions and this is mine.
alcucchiara This film is an excellent blend of suspense, satire and humor. It captures the attention of the audience in the first five minutes...so don't come late to see this movie. The acting was convincing, although one would expect that there will be no Oscar nominations for any movie that espouses Christian virtues. Too often critics will intellectualize their review of movies, such as this one, hoping to discredit some aspect, such as the plot, the acting talent, or the directing; however, keep in mind that those critics oftentimes applaud violence and disrespect for decency, and viciously attack those moors of American society that have made America the great nation it is today. The Masked Saint teaches through this true biography that although there are villains in the world, "good" oftentimes does prevail when one has faith. Maintain an open mind when watching The Masked Saint and you will want to stand and applaud like I did at the refreshing ending.
subxerogravity I've been aware that Christ and Wrestling go well together for a few years now, and now the Mask Saint is the movie to prove it.It reminds me of the faith based film, I'm in Love With a Church Girl, but while that movie hit you with the speech about how Christ loves Hip Hop, the Mask Saint, like a good wrestling movie should, comes down to the point that talk is cheap.But the wrestling is not. Though you can tell(mostly by their size) that most of the actors may not be wrestlers in a past life, that did not stop them from giving us some impressive in the ring scenes. It was pretty action packed and exciting.Outside the ring, it's a cool story about a vigilante in a wrestling mask whose secret identity is that of a Pastor in the neighborhood church. The fact that this really happen makes it even more interesting.Over all it's a good low end superhero flick about Christian wrestling worthy of being the late great Rowdy Roddy Piper's last.
