Very disappointed :(

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The Masked Saint (2016) is a laughably bad faith-based film. Was I expecting a good film? Hell no. The film had terrible performances, cringe-worthy dialogue and bland direction. However, I didn't hate myself while watching this movie. The wrestling scenes were so laughably bad,that I found myself constantly on the edge of my seat laughing. Over-the-top is the best way to describe them. The film is unfunny when it is trying to be funny, and funny when it isn't trying to be funny. Faith-based films are generally terrible, but I found some enjoyment in this one. When grading this film, I can't ignore how truly atrocious it is on a film-making level. 'The Masked Saint' is heinous, but absurdly fun. It is on the level of a "so bad it's good" film.

I loved every second of this flix, I got lifted and remained so suspended on billowy clouds and just eased bax with the Saint at the helm to bear me to a better place transfiguring the temporal, transcending ennui, whereupon I was laid to rest onto the vast empyrean stardust in a providential transmutation. Kick ass job! The Reaper was incredible! Rowdy was awesome, totalee!!!! Just a throw-bax to some fun flix from my formative years and really enjoyed the message.... Good does triumph... unfortunately this is a flix so, yeah, afterwards I was a lil' let down , hey coming down isn't always easy, Yet, hand in hand with the Saint, reflecting on the lil' remembrances of this lil' gem, surely a graceful landing is vouchsafed! Pray, do give it chance, that is how I came across this lil' angel, by chance, or maybe divine providence? Who the hell knows, all I know is I had some fun! Chillexed and love it...

I was hoping this would be an enjoyable family movie, but I was sadly let down. I found it to be very predictable, schmaltzy, has a poor story line, average acting, obviously low budget, poor camera work, poor lighting, average sound and directing. Like many movies these days, it was garbage. It was soooo pathetically mindless with things starting so bad for all the characters then like magic, everything ended so fantastically for everyone. I think this movies market was for the lower socio economic, wrestling fans of the extreme right wing bible belt of the USA. I must say, that whenever Diahann Carroll came on, the quality lifted considerably (which wasn't that much) and I have never seen her before. I think the part she had to play in this movie was obviously WAY below her capabilities. I suppose I have been spoilt by some of many priestly classics like Going My Way (1944), Boys Town (1938), It's a Wonderful Life (1946) or even Sister Act (1992). Is this movie worth your time? I say no! We are all entitled to our opinions and this is mine.

This film is an excellent blend of suspense, satire and humor. It captures the attention of the audience in the first five minutes...so don't come late to see this movie. The acting was convincing, although one would expect that there will be no Oscar nominations for any movie that espouses Christian virtues. Too often critics will intellectualize their review of movies, such as this one, hoping to discredit some aspect, such as the plot, the acting talent, or the directing; however, keep in mind that those critics oftentimes applaud violence and disrespect for decency, and viciously attack those moors of American society that have made America the great nation it is today. The Masked Saint teaches through this true biography that although there are villains in the world, "good" oftentimes does prevail when one has faith. Maintain an open mind when watching The Masked Saint and you will want to stand and applaud like I did at the refreshing ending.
