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

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Load of rubbish!!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Combination Japanese mob movie, "Flash Gordon" rip-off and Asian "Father Knows Best", this is delicious bad taste at its most delightfully bizarre. An apparent dub of old Japanese science fiction movies mashed up in one big potato, it had me howling from the first minute. The most outlandish script has been thrown in for bad dubbing, utilizing comic book style bad guys to frame what little story exists. Outlandishly ridiculous names and one-dimensional villains are all parodies of the old serials. The monster meeting in outer space (with a cardboard Saturn in the background) features creatures that resemble huge air conditioning units I see in businesses with ventilation issues. I truly could not believe my eyes (or ears) as Ultraman like heroes battle vampire like monsters and various other creatures that look anywhere from the carrot monster from "It Conquered the World" to the hot dog monster from "The Horror at Party Beach". There is a heroic character known as "Space Pope" who is "very gifted" below the waste, an elderly evil leader who is a combination of George Zucco and Colonel Sanders, a Vampira like demoness who is also part killer clown from outer space and part Martha Raye in "The Buggaloos". At least the choreography is memorable; It is part zeppelin party scene from "Madam Satan", part "So you think you can dance" Halloween special. Much of the transitions do not make sense, and the pacing often slows down ridiculously. Hideous narration is even worse than "Plan Nine" which gives me the notion that this was plan number two. This is definitely a film to watch and get drunk with a group of friends.

It's hard to really give this movie an honest rating, I mean it is what it is, A B-Rated alien film. Obviously, if you are a cinemotagraphy expert who looks for the acting and dialogue, and the "art" in the film. Well Yeah, it's no Oscar, I'd give it 0 stars. But I'm giving it 10 because; truthfully, you are looking for a cheesy B-Movie if your watching this, and it doesn't get much better than this. (If that's what you're looking for). For parents the movie is 100% clean, if you were wondering. This movie was actually a long running Japanese Serial, for it to be released on USA TV, it was cut down to a movie. I describe this movie as a Japanese attempt to make Superman! Basically, an evil brain is sending down mutants, that look slightlty like Sesame Street Characters, and recruit a mad scientist. Then a race of good aliens send STAR MAN to save the universe. Yeah! Pretty redundant, I recommend the movie though.

I wouldn't say anything about this film is particularly 'bad' (except the effects and the dubbing)- This film had my two kids (three and five respectively) held in awe for it's duration, and my five year old was in absolute stitches every time Starman started laying into the scores of bad guys who took him on. You know that film Independence Day? Well, this film is kind of like that, only much, much better. An Evil Brain from Outer Space is now on Earth and ordering it's armies of mutants to cause havoc everywhere in preparation for an all out invasion, causing some aliens to have a meeting (must be seen to be believed) and come to an agreement to sent Starman to Earth to sort the brain out. He's got a watch that can make him fly through space, by the way. Meanwhile, on Earth, some guys have got wind of the invasion and one even manages to steal the brain before being mistakingly caught by the police and dropping the brain (which is in a suitcase) into a river. This guy's boss is one of the bad guy mutants (along with his one legged sidekick and an owl), who have a secret passageway in their garden which leads to their underground lair (and that's only one of three secret passageways in this film!).Don't run off - there's more! Another professor (there's loads in this film) gets a mutant set on him and you should see this - After rather creepily materialising in this guy's office, this strange, strange looking creature gets into a punch up with Starman while randomly teleporting around a dock (so funny) before splitting in two after being shot with a policeman, then flying through the air in a jaw dropping manner. Wait - there's more! Starman keeps getting into these huge fights with the bad guys who also try and kill off world leaders, use nuclear grenades, and have this ghost like witch creature appear and randomly kill everyone while two guys who look like Ziggy Stardust era-Bowie try and kill even more professors while two kids get involved and everyone starts chasing everyone else about.There's even more! Meanwhile, yet another evil professor is formulating a germ warfare plan all sourced from a single huge, pulsating germ (to which he emotionally blackmails) before Starman turns up and kicks all his goons heads in too. But where's the brain? Oh, don't worry about that, I'm sure Starman will find that too.Just a head splitting 100mph crazy sci-fi action film with bizarre aliens, pulsating bladder effects, crappy 'Starman' flying sequences, full on narration, several billion secondary character (most of which are scientists or policeman, Evil Brain from Outer Space was so much more enjoyable than your usual Hollywood product that costs the GNP of a fair size African country. I loved it, and have three more Starman films to get through. My kids were even playing 'Starman' later on, so that should tell you something. Brilliant.

This is remindful of the bad television shows that made up the majority of offerings of the fifties. It may have been the golden age but there was a lot of lead among the gold. This has a sappy superhero in tights (like Superman) who clicks with little kids. He doesn't seem to have any problem beating up 60 or 70 bad guys at a time. There is a threat from outer space and a brain that controls everything. It must be destroyed. The monsters are a collection of Japanese guys in weird costumes. They seem versed in the martial arts, but come to no good end. This isn't a show for adults and if you were to update it and substitute cartoon characters for the humans here, it would fit right in on Saturday morning. Hardly worth the effort.
