Ratings and reviews

This is what got me into the hero genre when I was a kid and will always have a special place in my heart. Everyone bashes the movie for the costume but really people it is an old movie get over yourselves. A re-make of this movie would be awesome and would give ironman fans another look at a texh based hero from another universe.

You wanna know how bad this film is OK I watched this film and I had secure just by looking at his costume this film is so bad when somebody makes a worst superhero movie list this film well be on 2 or 3,so bad when somebody makes a worst superhero costume list this well be on 5 or 4 that bad

Can be cheesy like many hero movies of the time. Loved it when I first watched as a kid, still do. This super hero movie needs a remake!
