Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nRon Ely directed some of the second unit scenes.<\/p>\n
Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze<\/em> was the last completed film for director\/producer George Pal.<\/p>\nAlthough the film is pretty faithful to the Doc Savage tales, the feel of the movie is off.\u00a0 It’s not played straight which is fine.\u00a0 But it falls flat when it should shine.\u00a0 Getting the balance of humor, camp and action isn’t an easy task.\u00a0 At times I was reminded of The Great Race<\/em> or the Batman<\/em> television show of the 1960s.\u00a0 They got it right.<\/p>\nThe movie starts with Doc Savage alone at his Fortress of Solitude at the artic circle.\u00a0 He gets up from sitting in the lotus position wearing just shorts (a towel?).\u00a0 Doc heads to his New York City apartment high atop a skyscraper.\u00a0 When Doc arrives, his five team members are there.\u00a0 Doc said he picked up the feeling (from the Artic Circle!) that they were upset and so he rushed home.\u00a0 They inform Doc his dad has died.\u00a0 Doc is stunned.\u00a0\u00a0Ok.\u00a0 So Doc picked up on the team being upset but totally missed the feeling that his dear old dad had died?<\/p>\n
That is just one of the things that started to bug me.\u00a0 Others include when everyone piles into the car and Doc jumps on the sideboard and points straight ahead as the car takes off.\u00a0 Before the team gets on the plane Doc gives a motivational speech that doesn’t motivate.\u00a0 I tapped out when it showed Doc’s nemesis in a giant cradle rocking back and forth.\u00a0 \u00a0Your mileage could vary, but Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze<\/em> just didn’t work for me.<\/p>\nDoc Savage: The Man of Bronze <\/strong><\/em>(1975) rates 1 of 5 stars<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_f.png\")
