gunjackmokujin This film has poignant moments, is not a simple movie superheroes, has a great storyline. The director showed great potential and hopefully made ​​a sequel, the hero has a great charisma and great potential for a sequel. The Chilean film is to be congratulated, highly recommend it! Marko Zarkor showed an excellent performance in this movie, so much so that later worked with Robert Rodriguez in "Machete Kills". The film also contains fight scenes that simulate the old films of Bruce-Lee, for a low budget production, is to be congratulated It also has a scene of romance that includes the music of David Bowie- "Life on Mars" - chosen at a specific time, which produces a perfect scene. Regardless, shows little scenes shaped HQ that translates the perfect feeling of the film: the instinct of superhero. Other than that, we also have a helper funny,also have a funny helper showing a moment of comedy to the film , summarizing the movie in one word : Exceptional
Snusmumrikken I just saw this film 30th September 2009. I think it had some good fight scenes. This is an action packed film compared to the poorer Kiltro. It has many fight scenes. Marko actually hit and kicked the bad guys for real in this film. The only problem was, it was nearly all the times too difficult to see that. The camera angle's could have been better. As could the editing. I think they did too much of this quick cut editing.I think Marko actually punched too fast in some of the fights. He punched so fast i couldn't see them. I think they should have told him to slow down, so the viewers could actually see the punches. I didn't like the sound effect's they used for the punches. I think it literally lacked punch and bass. Other than that, it was good. I really liked the reporter in this film named Carol Valdivieso.I was just glued to screen every time she appeared. I love those fine dark brown eyes. What a looker!. But, one thing i didn't like was that she dyed her hair blond later in the film. I think she looked best with brown hair. So, if you was disappointed like me after watching Kiltro, you will be more happy to watch this film. As said, many more fights than Kiltro.
grandmastersik So, you fancy a film which contains a lot of butt-kicking, off-beat humour and a gritty underlining theme? Whoa, wait, there also has to be plenty of satire.Not after much, are you? Well fear not, because Mirageman delivers!!!Ripped into by some, unknown to most, and establishing himself a solid fanbase with a select few, Marco Zaror was kick-arse long before the comic ever existed; he had the e-mails, the dodgy outfit, the bad haircut... But about the film:Obsessed with being in a prime condition to defend himself after BLAH (generic vigilante background psychology), one night our soon-to-be hero jogs into the scene of a crime in progress and then it's all a blur: his training takes over, he KICKS BUTT! Yes, this is what he was training himself for all this time. Yet it's not clear to him until one of the women he rescued turns out to be a wannabe TV reporter who thanks him on the news at 11.Okay, so now what's a boy to do if he wants to become the next Batman?Going through a range of ridiculous kits and taking the bus to places where trouble may lurk, "Chile's national hero", as the HOT - now bona fide - TV reporter dubs him, finds his exploits methodically covered as she cashes in on her looks (I mentioned that she's HOT, right?) and his antics for a winning combination.But for how long can a dude in a mask stay in the public eye? How much of an impact can one man beating up bag-snatchers make on society? It's at this point that the film takes it up a notch and we see that it has a whole other level of depth, as it effortlessly pivots from light-heartedness-to-something dark; from the downright hilarious-to-sheer brutality for a grand finalé.So if you're looking for something a bit different, do yourself a massive favour and check out Mirageman; you may be disappointed but there's an 8/10 chance that you'll like it!
Worldofgrim I really really really enjoyed this movie. It carried an emotional & self effacing quality to it. From his love for his tragic brother to his meager attempts at heroic acts. This story tells a literally realistic way, in a comic book style of course, how one could be become a comic book vigilante. There were many levels & details to this film, his comical attempt to design his costume (with homage doodles) and the build up of the final design by his institutional brother's own nightmarish drawings that then ascend to the dream of a hero. I mean the intensity of it really worked for me. I fell for the feelings, the tragedy, the loss and hope.And it was funny! He had to stop, pull of his mask, and wipe the fog off the lenses! Subtle but awesome! Realistic setup as opposed to over written contrived setup comedy, you know, the kind you laugh it because it makes sense, not because it was setup via caricatures and over acted 2ndary characters.If not Tony Jaa, then gosh darn close! I could easily go from Tony to Marko and enjoy both thoroughly. And I'd take both over big Hollywood comic book heroes! Though I'd enjoy all just the same.
