Well Deserved Praise

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Blistering performances.

My mom always said I was stubborn. This is apparent when I saw Mantera was rated 1.5 stars in Netflix and I proceeded to watch the the movie anyway. And one I started to watch it, it was like a turd that you've already started pushing out. It was too late, I had to go all the way and birth this turd of a movie. As mentioned in other reviews, this movie stole so many elements. Even the crane kick scene from The Karate Kid. Also a lot of this movie was stolen from The Guyver, "Bio Booster Armor". The acting was cheesy and pungent!Please take heed to my warning and those of my fellow reviewers. Unless you want to birth a turd of your own.

I'll keep my review short. This movie is like a fart in the wind. You never seen it coming but leaves you in utter disgust!Ready to vomit everything on the floor. I would rather go play leap frog with a unicorn than have to sit through another 10 minutes of this repulsive compressed turd of a movie. I guess this is what i get for having high hopes in what I know should not exist. The moment the intro scene was revealed it was like that feeling when you have a near death experience and lost in broken thought frantically trying to find either the stop or pause button, luckily for me as soon as I was about to rip my TV off the wall my foot unplugged it saving me from having to buy a new one.

I had to make an account just to review this trash. This movie was horrendous for reasons some don't point out. Yea the acting and effects and story and and and etc were all TERRIBLE... BUT! I don't see anyone pointing out how many scenes were just complete rip-offs of other works. That is the one thing that infuriates me about this. Complete scenes are entirely stolen from other action sequences from movies, Japanese action movies, and even anime.Example, at the very end, probably what someone would think is the "best" part where the two robots fight, from the moment they kick in mid-air: (link to youtube video showing exact scene ripped off of an anime) tinyurl.com/mgsojal

I haven't encountered so much bad written cheesy dialog per minute in awhile. You can't be writing that awful unless you consciously try to replace every possible line with a cliché phrase.I can understand medium budget CGI, I can forgive simpleton plot (yet another battle of good vs evil), but what on earth made them name prime forces "Alliance of Light" and "Legions of Darkness"??!! Those are literally the names of the two, and its not even ironic. And so on it goes all through the movie. The script is created straight out of some kid's imagination, we have savior who is a "purest soul", evil corporation, spacecraft stolen from X-Men, Star Gate-ish teleport device... heck! they even managed to clue in a martial arts training montage.The only plus side is that global crisis does really feel global - we are shown different countries, nations, languages - and are not happening somewhere in the backyard of a typical USA small town.
