Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Bronzed but buffoonish.
The 1930's was the heyday of Tarzan, the Lone Ranger, the Shadow, the Spider, the Green Hornet, Captain Midnight, Gene Autry, Flash Gordon, and eventually Superman and Batman. A great pantheon of pop culture heroes flourished in pulp magazines, comic strips, radio shows, and movie serials.
The 1960's gave us Adam West as Batman, Derek Flint, Maxwell Smart, 007, and many other hero spoofs(not to mention the theater then unfolding in the socio-political realms); the concept of the ... Read More
Rating:  - Poor Doc
Terrible...in concept and in execution and in casting (well, Ely was OK); Cutsey-poo here and there. No hint of what the Doc of the books was all about; no suspense; no elan; nothing. But, this is the usual outcome when Hollywood tries to bring superheroes to the screen...The Shadow (all special effects and a mish-mosh of themes and stories); The Phantom (Billy Zane good; Devil and Hero great, Treat Williams over-the -to "performance" ruins the picture along with the cutsey-poo asides and wisecracks ...

Rating:  - Doc Savage... The Man Of Bronze
this is clearly the greatest film ever made. im pretty sure the plot must come directly from an as yet undiscovered shakespeare masterpiece, and the acting abilitys of Ron 'teh don' Ely are simply uncomparible to any other actor dead or alive. for a film made in 1975 the special affects are of far superior quality of anything seen in today's films. 5 stars
Rating: - The View From the 86th Floor
From his headquarters atop the highest skyscraper in New York City, Doc Savage serves the right, and wrongs no man. Trained from birth mentally, physically, and morally, Doc is a protector of the innocent and righter-of-wrongs by profession. With his five assistants at his side, he will go anywhere in the world to accomplish his goal.
Set in the 1930s, and based upon the best-selling pulp magazine of the era, this is fine, G-rated action/adventure for the entire family.
Rating: - The first 10 minutes...
...are pretty decent. After they leave New York it goes rapidly downhill. I would give anything to be able to have all the footage and be able to re-edit that film. It could even be salvagable. I give it 3 stars for the opening, and 1 for the rest of it.
