5/10
Gonzo stuff
20 January 2024
I was on board with Fearless Frank for the first 30 minutes or so. It made me laugh a few times and had the sort of anarchic and silly energy that makes The Beatles' Help a lot of fun (it's easier to compare this film to that one, rather than anything else Jon Voight or Philip Kaufman went on to make; both went on to bigger and much better things).

But unfortunately, Fearless Frank is longer than half an hour, and I grew tired of it as it went along. For the sheer weirdness of its existence, I feel like it might be worth a curiosity watch. There were entertaining moments too (the first gag involving Frank's super punching ability made me laugh more than I'd probably be willing to admit), but not quite enough for this to feel like a "good" movie.

But hey, for what it's worth, I've definitely seen inferior superhero movies.
