    KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
    Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
    quizzler I'm a proud owner of 'Black Scorpion the Series' on DVD, and I respectfully disagree with my predecessor's comments. Taken on its own, this show plays really well as simple crime-fighter camp, a light-hearted homage to shows like the old 'Batman' series, with lots of silly humor slipped in. Darcy Walker, the main character, as a law-upholding cop by day, and a costumed vigilante by night, walks a fine line between her two worlds. Equipped only with exceptional fighting ability, and a souped-up, transforming car, she has to cope in a world where criminals routinely obtained super-powers. She beats them at their own game, with skill, determination and humor. Banter amongst fellow-cops, jibes at corrupt local politicians and lots of nerd-revenge humor whenever Supervillains attacked, make for enjoyable, albeit slightly unorthodox, storytelling every week. In fact, there is something for most tastes in this series, stuff blowing up, car chases, highly-watchable costumed baddies, and, of course, good triumphing over evil. A must-watch for any fan of the genre.
    videomaniac Black Scorpion was always a guilty pleasure that I enjoyed. This was fun comic book escapism and that's why I loved it. Lots of action, silly jokes, and people in wacky costumes. It wasn't Emmy worthy stuff by any means, but I always loved watching this show. I also enjoyed looking at Scott Valentine! I miss this show. Black Scorpion provided lots of "cheese cake" for the guys, but it also did a good job of giving us a strong heroine. I liked cheering for the Black Scorpion and watching her kick butt. This show was never meant to be taken as seriously as some reviewers on here have. It was often "corny" but that was the beauty of it. They just don't make TV as FUN as this anymore.
    maggie-33 OK normally I give scifi shows the benefit of the doubt concerning the outfits of the heroines. But c'mon a female superhero wearing a black boostea (?) and knee high hooker boots? That is ridiculous, I mean don't you think that heroine who wants to be tken seriously would wear something that is functional? Plus how the heck does she get the money for an advanced science lab on a detectives salary? And how the heck does an ex-con who stole cars know something about every type of science? This show didn't even deserve to be shown for six episodes. The show was a disgrace, how it passed FCC tests I don't know. All in all unless your a pubescent teenage boy you won't even find this show amusing. Even guys wouldn't wanna suffer through this show to watch her in action.
    KoshNaranek Guys, view only for the cleavage, and then ONLY with the sound MUTED (to avoid brain damage caused by listening to the dialogue), IF you are tempted to view this at all. It's a complete waste of time. Given the amount of heartbeats available to you in your life, it's not worth squandering any of them on this. It's not campy. It's just STUPID and BORING. It makes Lexx, and the Batman (with Adam West) look like Emmy winning productions.
