5.0 out of 5 stars A BIG REVIEW, April 14, 2000

This review is from: Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Amazing Colossal Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched this movie when I was a kid, it was amazing! I was too young to notice all the "fake" stuff, but it was one of my favorites. When I watched it with MST3K I almost fell off the couch laughing. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was better than when I first saw it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun way to waste part of a rainy day, January 10, 2005

Pre-geezer "I miss 'Creature Features" (Gilroy, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Amazing Colossal Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie when I was a kid, and it's cheesiness still holds true today. The acting is more hammy than a deli sandwich, and the "special" effects are great (I love the giant syringe!) The part when our hero walks through Vegas is great, and I still laugh at the look on his face when he sees the giant high heel (very kinky). If you are looking for something scary to watch, this isn't it. It's sequel, "War of the Colossal Beast" reminded me a little of the movie "Cyclops" (that one was scary...when I was 7) and isn't as much fun as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars a classic episode of tv's mystery science theater 3000, April 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Amazing Colossal Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This episode of mst3k represents the best of joel hodgson and his wisecracking robots. This movie has it all: bad special effects, bad acting, bad lighting and a classic 1950's theme (victims of the nuclear age). It's a shame that this episode is no longer in print. This is a must for fans of this televison, cult, classic series.
