Review of Abar, the First Black Superman (1977) by Matthew C — 24 Feb 2010
Shockingly bad acting, exceptionally low production values, and some seriously ham-fisted moralizing make this goof-ball movie a blast. The actors are wonderfully stiff. There are great sequences where the actors are clearly reading off cards.
They didn't do retakes. Stumbling over dialog is common. And everyone is painted with the broadest of strokes. Everyone white is evil. Any black person who doesn't live in the ghetto is a sell out.
It takes forever to get the 'Black Superman' element of the film, but when it happensâ?¦Well, not all that much changes. It's still a really poorly made film. But dang, it's entertaining.
