A short one-hour Canadian film that also made use of a green screen studio: Manborg! This crazy throwback to 80s genre B-movies is either AWFUL or AWESOME. You need to put yourself in the right frame of mind. Though made in 2011, it's got juddery stop-motion monsters, rubber masked Nazis from Hell, and characters you'll recognize from flicks of the era speaking in clichéed one-liners. While Manborg the character is a cross between the Six Million Dollar Man and Robocop, he has a team behind him, including a Mortal Kombat character/kung fu movie escapee, the jerk from The Karate Kid, and... is that anime girl supposed to evoke Princess Mononoke? Huge fun. We laughed and laughed and rewound and laughed again. At some 60 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome, though I'm sure mileage will vary depending on your familiarity with the source material. 8 years 10 months ago

Once you get past the ingenuity of the effects and the amount of effort that probably went into it, feels hollow and lifeless.
The plot is dull, the characters duller, and it all just sort of marches along, not really trying to make the viewer care. 10 years 8 months ago
