Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2004)

Typical "rise and fall" crap. Orson Wells made such a shambles here that one is tempted to believe Danny Devito would have made a better go of it. The "Santa With Muscles" equivalent of the 1940s, sans the only redeeming feature, Hulk. The acting was atrocious, the story dull, and the action scenes decidedly lacking. The fact that this film possessed contained some of the more innovative special effects to plague the filming industry (Such as a mono-colour scheme) did little to relieve its monotony. And honestly, who didn't expect the ending? It's no wonder that Orson Welles never found work again. The brief appearance he made in "Ed Wood" was more than excessive for a man who didn't breathe at the time of its production. Citizen Kane? More like Citizen Pain!
