lemon_magic "Inframan" is not a "good" movie by any standard, but the energy level is so high and the cheese factor is so outrageous that if you have any patience for Shaw Brothers style old school Chinese movies, you'll probably like it anyway.It's...hard to describe what the deal is with "Inframan". What it most reminds me of are my grade school playground days, when my friends and I ran around pretending to be jet robots and superheroes and dinosaurs and whatever else came to mind on an instant's notice. Tons of wild creativity and improvisation, absolutely no focus or coherence or logical linking of one thing to another. Watching "Inframan" takes me back to those days - he pulls new powers and abilities out of thin air, seemingly at random. The Hong Kong/"Engrish" dubbing is the master touch - whatever the actors were saying in their native languages, their dialog loses any subtlety or nuance by the time the English dubbing crew got done with it, and everyone seems to be yelling the first thing that comes to mind at the top of their lungs. Great fun. Search this one out and watch it once if you have any affection for the old "Kung Fu Theater" genre or the Power Rangers or Voltron or any of that kind of entertainment. You'll realize you have watched something primal.

grace-mark This movie is good for its time. It's an Ultra man rip off with more explosions than dialogue. There were times when watching Infra man I questioned the story line. For example if there were Monsters attacking your city.... Would you have a picnic with your siblings??? Also the headquarters where Infra man was made has the worst security in the universe. Sure it can see the Actions of Dragon Mom which is miles away but can their specialised equipment detect a monster attacking it 3 meters away???The fighting was the highlight of this movie and the amount of explosions was hilarious. I watched this movie on a recommendation so my expectations where high. I wish my expectations wont so high. The production of this movie was clunky... Sure the costumes of the monsters look fake and are made of rubber... The production just seems quick, predictable and the story line just doesn't help...

sales-dog I remember seeing this in theater when I was a kid. It was a great fantasy movie and about 1000% better that any usual Japanese Sci-Fi flick! Today my kids would find this boring after the effects of movies now days. They are spoiled! So what happens to all these old films? Someone should set up a new "Sci-Fi Channel" to distribute this stuff. Also of value would be Genesis II, and the other Gene Roddenberry movies that did not make it into a series like Star Trek. Where can I buy or download this? OK, enough with my posting. This IMDb requirement about ten lines is a pain in the butt. I guess they have devised a way to ensure that you cannot bad mouth the garbage movies that come ut every month, by making you type ten lines of info into one of these comment sections. Now I have twelve lines, lets see if it will let me save it mow!

blitzkrieg1701 Let's get one thing out of the way right up front: Infra-Man is NOT a good movie, in fact, it's downright awful. Let's get another thing out of the way: it's a blast to watch anyway.Basically, Infra-Man is every Ultraman/Power Rangers cliché ever imagined rolled into a single movie. A heroic young fellow who's part of a barely explained government agency (that's clearly hi-tech, since everyone wears clothes made out of tin foil) volunteers to be turned into an overgrown action figure named Infra-Man to stop the evil Princess Dragon Mom and her band of mutants from destroying mankind. That's pretty much all the story thee is, and it all happens in the first ten minutes.Technically, Infra-Man is a spectacular mess. The pacing is terrible, with periods of incomprehensibly frantic speed sandwiched between stretches of mind-numbing boredom. None of the characters have any personality at all (they're more like props that talk) which is problematic, since none of them get more than half a second of introduction for us to get to know them. The acting is awful on it's own, and the pathetic dubbing only makes things worse. The `monsters' wouldn't even make it onto a Fox Kids show; The Banana Splits were scarier (and they had better special effects, too). Lapses in logic abound (Why does Princess Dragon Mom call us `Earthlings' when she's a `prehistoric super human'? How does every one know to shout `Infra-Man!' when the hero first appears when he's only been around for about thirty seconds? Why does our hero suddenly jump from being powered by a nuclear battery to solar power? Why is he even called `Infra-Man' when he has nothing to do with anything infrared? Why does She-Devil always look so bored?) but the film is clearly a lost cause at this point.Yet, Infra-Man is an absolute blast. Why? Simple: it's one of those few movies that's so deliriously bad that you can't help but laugh. All that bright and colorful spandex jumping around, the absurdly over done sound effects, the almost seizure-like bad acting, the almost nonexistent special effects, and the complete absence of plot are thrown at the viewer at a speed and volume that is mesmerizing simply because we can't believe anyone would actually do this sort of thing. It's all so grossly bad that you can't help but be entertained by it, sort of like a fart but with spandex and monsters.Every other reviewer so far has apparently been so swept up in watching this cinematic train wreck that they actually call it good, but don't be fooled. No one is laughing WITH Infra-Man, we're all laughing AT it; and in that sense, it's a blast.
