Vulcan, Son of Giove Audience Reviews

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Rainey Dawn Two muscle men: Gordon Mitchell is Pluto this time and Rod Flash is Vulcan! Monsters are terrorizing the people of the land and Vulcan must save them before Mt. Olympus falls to ruin.This one does have enough cheese to make the bread taste good. It's dumb enough to be entertaining, yet bad enough that most people will not watch.This one could have been a good movie if was done right. I'm not advocating a remake but if the film makers would have done this one properly it could have been almost as good as Clash of the Titans 1981. Sadly this one didn't have the money pumped into it to create a film as good as "Clash"... it had the potential though.4/10
Cristi_Ciopron The previous _peplum seen was also a GM one, but this one's better right from the beginning, and _unreluctantly so—a bit more adult yarn, aimed at teenagers as opposed to kids …. This one at least has a rousing, knockout score, signed by none other than Giombini. It also has slightly better production values, a sense of playfulness, etc.. It's a bit more colorful, sexier, violent enough, the protagonists are the gods Vulcan, played by Iloosh Khoshabe, Mars—played by Roger Browne, while Venus is the delightful Annie Gorassini; there are Vulcan and Mars on Earth, Mercury and Pluto in Olympus, Thracians, Sicilians, Neptune, various barbarians with raping propensities.Emimmo Salvi, Bella and Gordon are movie pals that have met more than once; someone seemed intent on promoting Bella, who has nice thighs, Gordon is credited as a genuine star, here they don't have any scene together.And yet these outmoded fairy tales with athletes also express my willingness to indulge in a free, unrestrained physical life.Sets, cast, broads, score, fights, effects, production values.A movie should never be chided for cheapness—but for stupidity, lack of ability, etc..Neither Gordon M., nor Cameron M., were original Mitchells; the first was a (Ch.) Pendleton, the second was a Mitzel. This one was almost 5 yrs older than the strongman.You might have already noticed that these newer, more playful reviews, are governed by overtly social, not aesthetic norms; that is, they transcribe more of a social awareness—chatting with my audience—than an uncompromisingly aesthetic one, as once. Now my writing is molded by social concerns.
bkoganbing The Roman Gods take center stage in this one with an old fashioned Olympic triangle taking place at the home of the Gods. Venus, the God of beauty and love is making a play for Vulcan and she's got him panting hot and heavy after her. That upsets Mars and Jupiter banishes all three to earth to sort it all out.Vulcan finds himself a nice earthly mortal who rivals Venus for her beauty, but he still doesn't like Mars. And Mars has got himself a Tower of Babel like scheme whereby he allies himself with some earthly despots to build a tower as tall as Olympus. Can Vulcan stop him in time from challenging Jupiter himself?The Greeks and Romans did not believe in one all seeing and all pervasive spirit like Deity. They liked their immortals with all the, dare I say it, human frailties built in. The idea for the film is an interesting one, but the roles would require some classically trained actors, not people who are used to peplum spectacles.
wes-connors "It's a battle between mortals and gods as the right to claim the Goddess of Love as their own brings the Roman gods of myth to life in this classic tale. Vulcan, the God of Fire, wishes to have the beautiful Venus as his bride and will battle strange creatures and fellow gods alike, in his quest to win her. Amazing feats of strength and fantastic fights abound in this tale of adventure and true love," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis. "Vulcan, Son of Jupiter" is a dubbed in English, Italian-made feature. Bouncy, bountiful Bella Cortez and alluring Annie Gorassini are the fleshy film's G-rated headlights, er… highlights.** Vulcan, Son of Jupiter (1961) Emimmo Salvi ~ Richard Lloyd, Bella Cortez, Annie Gorassini
