Leave your thoughts about The Return of Captain Invincible.
| New TimesGregory WeinkaufOne of the best superhero movies ever made (really). |
| StarburstJames EvansThis film is one of those bizarre ideas that you're surprised in retrospect ever got off the drawing board. It's not especially funny, but it's hard to hate a film where a bad guy tries to kill Invincible with a machine gun hidden in a plastic fish. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIt's entirely unfunny, with intentionally campy dialogue that falls flat and songs to match. |
| User ReviewMichael PChristopher Lee sings about the wonders of alcohol! |
| User ReviewPaul MMaybe it takes a former alcoholic, or ex-drug addict, to truly appreciate the genius of this film. Captain Invincible was born with superhuman abilities, courtesy of an alien race, and for the first 3 decades of his life was the usual, self-confident superhero, who knows that he's fighting the good fight. Then, shortly after World War 2, a criminal genius who takes the long view began a campaign to turn the Public against the Captain. Feeling isolated and alienated Captain Invincible becomes an alcoholic, and spends the next 2 decades as a drunken bum. It is only when a global crisis forces the then President of the United States to seek him out that the story really gets cracking. Since the late 1980s we have seen comic book superheroes lose their sense of identity and moral compass, but I think that the return of Captain Invincible was the first mass market attempt to tell the story of a super-man in a mortal world in a realistic manner. Parts of it are corny, and a bit is inconsistent with other parts, but overall, it is my personal opinion that the film is a masterpiece. |
| User ReviewSteve REveryone should see this movie. If only to hear Christopher Lee sing; "If you don't name your poison, I'll have to get the boys in". |
| User ReviewStephanie FThis movie is about superhero who is forced to give up his powers after being called a communist during the McCarthy era. Years later he is called on by the president of the United States to combat his former nemesis, Mr. Midnight (played by Christopher Lee) who is hatching a plan of destroy New York City (pre- 9/11). This movie was made in 1982 and also features Alan Arkin (Grosse Point Blank) and Kate Fitzpatrick. The movie is also a musical featuring music by Richard O'Brien who also composed songs for and played in the movie [i]The Rocky Horror Picture Show [/i](as Riff Raff). Philipe Mora (who directed [i]Howling 2 [/i]and [i]Howling 3[/i]). This movie for me was enjoyable because it was very funny. My favorite seen is when they were testing Captain Invincible's magnetic powers and it caused everybody to lose their clothing. Another thing I liked was the song [i]Name Your Poison [/i]which Christopher Lee sings. The song is so catchy I catch myself singing it at work when I am cleaning the store for closing. Christopher Lee has a great singing voice. I gave this film an 8. |
| User ReviewDustin MA tribute to and spoof of super-hero movies with some musical numbers thrown in for good measure. Some of the songs were written by Richard O'Brien of 'Rocky Horror' fame. |
| User ReviewNicholas PA damn funny film from what I remember but it was about 15 years ago. Probab;y my second or third favourite musical - springtime obviously is tops! |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder SIt's a super hero musical! Camp galore! |
