3.0 out of 5 stars No Better Movie about Robert Townsend as a Superhero Exists, September 4, 2000

This review is from: Meteor Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've seen this movie get some harsh reviews. I think people are just taking it too seriously. Either that or they end up expecting hilarity, and they get disppointed, too. Of course we can plainly see that it's ludicrously contrived, but who cares?

My problem with the movie is that it was butchered before its release. I read the novelization before i saw the movie, and the book was based on the uneditied screenplay, so I got to see what might have been. What's missing? Most importantly, the ending! The ending was hugely important, and it's completely lost. A lot of things seem horribly unsolved with the movie's "ending," and I'd love to see a director's cut someday. There were also a lot of less significant scenes cut. i.e. In the edited version, we find out that Jeff has a fear of heights. Then, BAM, it's gone. In the real version, we actually get to see what happened to make him lose that fear.

OK, perhaps I'm less than convincing. What I really want to say is that this movie is neither serious nor a complete joke, so if you just appreciate it for whatever it really is, it's pretty darn good.

3.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it, June 13, 2001

This review is from: Meteor Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I enjoyed the movie when i saw the it years ago. But i wasn't expecting to knocked off my feet laughing hillariously. There's very few movies that does that anyway. I seen some of the reviews and i guess people see one movie of Robert Townsend's and they want every movie of his to be just alike, all gut ripping comedies.I consider this movie more of a fantasy thats very entertaining.
