I will not spend too long reviewing this turd as I am still very annoyed that I spend 90 minutes of my precious time watching it. Instead I will simply say that Man-Thing is not only the worst comic-book movie ever made, but it is also one of the worst films ever made ever. I cannot believe that utter trash like this comes to DVD but Howard the Duck does not.
Set in the Deep South but filmed in Austrailia with Ozzie soap actors (who are so expressionless and wooden you can almost see the sawdust flaking off them) the film is an hour and a half of the most mundane, generic blandness you could ever imagine. Almost nothing happens as characters sleepwalk from scene to scene, all being pointlessly killed by a pointless monster.
Brett (I've never directed a good film in my life) Leonard shoots the film like a TV movie with either a green filter or an orange filter over the lens (oooh...how atmospheric) as his only means of 'sophistication'. The man began life with The Lawnmower man, so he didn't really have so far to fall before making this pile of crap.
My God, it's just so bad. Never waste time or money on this. I beg you!
