Atomic Rulers - 1965 - 4/10
Ghastly. Shockingly bad. Terrible, in fact, although this exudes an innocent charm.
Starman is dispatched from Planet Emerald to protect Earth from nuclear weapon bullies from Metropol.
Starman, the definition of a 98 lb weakling, has super strength and wallops baddies without a sweat.
Sets appear to be wobbly cardboard, costumes pajamas (what today’s superheroes wear).
This was originally a 50’s children’s serial, which American distributors recut into four movies.
Three films followed. Equal standing all. Ridiculous.
I must confess to seeing this originally in the late 60’s. Then again at stoned movie houses in the 70’s.
Silly as this one is, it is superior to any Prince Of Space outing.
