lazerzero That me and my friends were in tears laughing at it.One major, MAJOR problem I had with the movie was the actors, and how bland and unbelievable their script seemed. For example, in one scene, there is a woman trapped in a burning building, with no way for people to see her inside. Even so, there is a news crew, tons of civilians standing by and watching, a few fire trucks and a police squad. NONE of them were doing anything, even though they some how know there is a woman in side the flaming building. Super hero comes and saves her, and drops her off in the middle of the crowd of people. Later in the movie, "nobody saw where she went". NOBODY SAW HER? The super hero dropped her in a group of people! That's impossible!Another thing that bothered me was the story line. People are being controlled by a computer program that is just an "e" spinning around a globe while a voice talks to them. A spinning "e" and a voice cannot hypnotize a person into robbing a bank, like it does in this movie. In the same category, simple household tin foil renders all the superheros completely useless, they can't touch it, and if they are tied up in it, it apparently "sucks their power out", which is just plain stupid.The villains are apparently pretty dumb, too. They were convinced that a few kids popping bubble wrap above their heads were a police squad shooting at them from outside the building. Yeeeeeeah.If it wasn't for the completely ridiculous plot line (which, IMHO, completely ruined the movie), it wouldn't have been too bad.

llbfgt This movie has received generally weak reviews, but I haven't seen (in recent comments, anyway) the fact that, as broadcast on the Disney Channel's Big Movie Show it audience is "'tween-age" children. I watched it with my 6 and 8 year-olds, and they enjoyed it very much, so did I. They didn't understand everything but they did understand the "moral" of the story, that you don't have to be a super hero to help people. I also enjoyed that fact that there was no "bad words" or smarmy kids that sass their parents and each other. I will not by any means watch any of the new Disney theatrical releases of remakes that murder the spirit of the original (I couldn't make it through the opening scene of "That Darn Cat") but I have generally liked (and let my children watch) the Disney Channel Original Movies...Even Cheeta Girls 2 with a romantic subplot did not go over the line of appropriateness for 'tweens (at least mine). If anyone thinks that this is a "lame" or "predictable" movie, fine, it might be, but it satisfies its target audience; the UNJADED 6-12 year old, without offering up smart-mouthed role models.

williamunny1 If you want to see a lame and pathetic movie, watch up up and away. It has a predictable plot and a lame plot. Of course you know the kid's going to be normal. Also the way the kid gets the thieves busted To put it short watch something worth your time.

The Extra In The Background Before the review, a brief plot summary: The Marshalls are an average family in an ordinary American town with it's own superheroes, Bronze Eagle, Warrior Woman, and Silver Charge. What most people don't know is that Jim Marshall, his wife Judy, and their eldest son Adam are the town's heroes. Their young daughter Molly also has super-powers, mainly laser vision, but thirteen-year old Scott is nearing his fourteenth birthday, after which one cannot recieve superpowers. However, so as to not disapoint Dad (and their visitng grandpa, Steel Condor), he tricks the family into thinking he can fly and has superstrength. Meanwhile, the seemingly innocent "Earth Protectors" which are giving out CDs about the enviroment to the kids in Scott's class, may not have all the world's best intentions in mind.This film does sound silly and childish. Granted, it's not supposed to entertain adults or recieve an Oscar nomination. But it's really fairly original, showing us all superheroes' weakness: alluminum foil, which alters their structure. The special effects aren't that bad, but the filmmakers respect that and don't exagurate on them.The cast, while slightly forgettable (except for Sherman Hemsley of "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons") aren't that bad at acting. It's not exactly a riveting potrayl, but it's satisfying. Derek Lee is irritating, but his part is small and not enough to ruin it. Michael J. Pagan does a nice job as Scott Marshall, who is dubbed Warrior Eagle by his parents and does a dorky job at rescuing a woman from a fire. Kevin Conolly was also interesting as the young criminal genious who uses "Earth Protectors" to control minds, against the will of Amy (Jamie Renee Smith), who wants to use the mind control to prevent waste and preserve the enviroment.Superhero fans might want to watch it for the fun references, i.e. Sherman Hemsley's character Steel Condor's grudge against Superman, Man of Steel, The Green Hornet visiting the Marshalls, etc. In fact, Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman cameo at Scott's birthday party!Your kids will like it. Don't expect "Batman" or "Robocop", but if you're in the mood for some nice, doesn't-take-itself-seriously entertainment, you might wanna give it a shot, too.
