Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

JLRVancouver This fusion of episodes 3 and 4 of "Space Giant" finds the Japan's man of steel, in his see-through and suggestively padded costume, battling Salamander Men from the Planet Kulimon in the Moffit galaxy (I kid you not). The invaders have the ability to change their appearance (or, sometimes, most of their appearance) and are spreading a deadly contagion by disguising themselves as an avant-garde dance troupe. Weird beyond belief, the film is full of acrobatic 'fight' scenes in which none of the kicks or punches seem to make contact but that include lots of back flips and cart wheels. At one point children are pursued by a Kulimonian disguised as a nurse (a creepy scene) who then seems to turn into a cackling witch. While much more lively than the leaden Atomic Rulers (the first Starman movie), there are some tedious moments (e.g. the flying saucer chase scene) and the special effects are laughable. I don't know how much has been lost in translation, but apparently the 'Salamander Men' were actually 'kappa', a Japanese mythological water sprite (which fits their look but not the Moffit Galaxy backstory). There may be other cultural tropes that I am missing (at times the Salamander Men make-up resembles 'slit-mouth', a motif that occurs in Japanese horror). The film is hard-to-rate, being a definite 10 for fans of weird cinema but probably unwatchable for most everyone else.

benjaminweber Out of the four films edited together from the Japanese television series, this one is by far the best. While the costumes look fairly basic in places, there are also frequent moments where the costume design suitably capture the overall creepy atmosphere of the film. The sound works well in helping to establish atmosphere, and while a traditional story structure still isn't possible due to being formed from multiple TV episodes, there is an overall plot and several cases of setting up a climax that actually pays off. An additional bonus is there seems to have been more effort into creating the fight scenes, with better choreography and better editing, giving a more convincing appearance than the usual festival of minions throwing a punch, missing and consequently falling over.In conclusion, if you're going to watch the Starman films, watch this one last. Otherwise the others will not live up to expectation!

xinzhaorekter This movie is so corny that its fun, watching starman beat the shait out of every salamender man (i am going to call them that) is pretty fun, the story is, meh, but the action is well paced and pretty good to be honest, a must watch if you are intrested in corny action

Woodyanders A bunch of pernicious salamander men aliens from the planet Kulimon in the Moffit Galaxy plan on taking over Earth by unleashing a horrible plague on mankind. It's up to valiant superhero Starman from the Emerald Planet to save the human race before it's too late. Once again, this gloriously ridiculous hogwash eschews standard conventions of logic and coherence thanks to the fact that this slapdash feature was cobbled together from several episodes of a TV series. As a direct result of this, an absurdly solemn narrator works furious overtime in a desperate attempt to give the jumbled plot a modicum of cohesion. Moreover, the lovably rinky-dink (markedly less than) special effects, cruddy dubbing, strenuously protracted balletic fight set pieces (the salamander guys do all sorts of crazy back flips, cartwheels, and somersaults while mixing it up with Starman!), and such inspired wacky touches as the salamander beings disguising themselves as an avant-garde dance troupe, the evil extraterrestrials shooting killer rays out of their mouths (!), and a mysterious nurse who transforms herself into a grotesque hag witch all greatly enhance the considerable unintentional hilarity. An absolute dippy hoot.
