Los autómatas de la muerte

I watched this film under the title, Neutron the Atomic Superman vs The Death Robots! Now that is a title! Too bad there really aren't any death robots and the Superman of the piece isn't really all that awesome. I have seen other movies featuring wrestlers turned superhero and Neutron may have the best name, but alas, he is not the most super. I mean Super Argo could levitate! Santo fought actual vampires! This guy gets outwitted by a little dude who can barely walk and has a unibrow named Nick...

The story to this film leads me to believe this was a sequel as they keep talking about how the bad guy perished as people who look disinterested stare at a television newscast. Well he is not dead and he will soon bring terror upon the world! Well, he pretty much makes Nick do everything leading me to believe he would have been victorious had he, himself, did the footwork as he could have gotten done much faster. Neutron the mysterious superhero who really is not all that super will do what he can to defeat the evil guy while a professor who is constantly saved by Neutron keeps wondering who Neutron really is as he must be one of the three guys who courts this lady at a nightclub...or is he?

The thing about most of these luchador films is that it is kind of hard to do a story around them as they do not take off their masks so you really cannot develop the character beyond him in costume. Instead, you get three dudes courting a lady who may or may not be Neutron that adds little to the plot of an evil guy and his faithful henchman, Nick. So the film is a bit shallow, but so funny to watch!

So, the title really brings a lot of cool things to mind, but never mind that as we get a wrestler who always looks uncomfortable sucking in to make himself look really buff fighting things that are more reminiscent of zombies and do not resemble robots in any way, though they do cause death from time to time. The highlight though has to be the final fight where the hero and villain stop fighting in one location and do a car chase to another place and promptly resume their fight...
