Title: THE COMICS ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
Review: Yes, this movie is very reminiscent of Bruce Campbell's EVIL DEAD Movies, and yes, it is still an entertaining romp through comic book land. Aiding the film is its hero Blackheart is still mentally in the 1940s, so a lot of his one liners and asides are made even more humorous in that context.Robert Bogue as the titular character has a smooth delivery, a rugged handsomeness, and a commanding presence. His loyalty and patriotism to the American way of life is admirable considering the lack of such in today's cinema. Christopher Heyerdahl (Habitat) is a fitting villain, reminiscent of Max Von Sydow in Flash Gordon. The monster effects, for a low budget movie, are impressive, and the movie's atmopsheric decadence is commendable. It's an entertaining, sleight of hand movie that bears viewing. It's a lot of fun.
