When I first watched this I wasn't so sure about it's quality but as I am now on my 312th viewing I would consider this one of the 14 best movies of all time. I would like to point out the performance by Mark Courneyea.. It was an enlightening experience and every time I think about this movie I cry just a little.
Starring : Mark Redfield. You know you're being entertained with 'silver age comic book' heroes like Scarab,Black Terror and Double Dare. This film besides the subject being related to an old comic,Is very serious in tone. The effects are cheap,But edge of the computer tech accomplishment. Costumes are best feature with an authentic ring.
Acting,'Scarab' actor kind of looks like Donny Osmond,Female lead 'RED' may be too young for role,'Black Terror' actor stole the movie except when MARK REDFIELD did his 'Nick Fury-ish' turn.
Brett Kelly is quite a candidate for triple threat of 'Direct To Video' film-making,This Canadian effort is quite a teaser for Seth Rogen's "GREEN HORNET" and a possible webisode series of AVENGING FORCE.

I usually enjoyed bad movie but this one is just so pitiful I'm just angry at the time I wasted watching it, which feels like about four hours of my life. Then again that's probably just because this was so bad.
You see this isn't one of those bad movies that is fun to watch because the poorly done parts and bad acting and child level writing are so dumb that you can laugh at it, no, this is one of those movies that is just bad in a very annoying way. Nothing in this movie is good or even slightly entertaining at all. It's just a very badly produced movie with awful picture and sound quality, non actors trying to act and a script that's just boring, boring, BORING.
The only thing even remotely close to being somewhat OK is the well done poster/DVD cover. Don't be fooled by it though, this is just a total dud masquerading as an Avengers spoof or ripoff and trying desperately to look like an actual movie.
Lowest possible rating on this one.

Not everybody likes a big deal comic book movie, such as MCU and DCU and most of all, these characters are based on forgotten comic book character ...so what are you gonna do.
Yes the film is low budget and so forth..ya dah ya dah ya dah, but at least the director gave it a try and done ...
Everybody wants to make a superhero movie, so why not make forgotten ones.

Whoever made this movie should be immediately tracked down wherever he is sleeping right now, then he should be dragged out into the street and shot. This total garbage pail of a movie should then be collected by movie lovers everywhere and every single copy should be burned until not a single watchable frame is left. I am not saying that lightly, this movie is such a worthless piece of garbage that it needs to be destroyed.
Not sure what else to say but I have to write 10 lines apparently so.... I guess I hate the movie because it is confusing with awful writing, the jokes are awful and there are way too many of them, the acting is bad, but mostly it just looks awful with bad video and audio quality, and it seems like it was directly as a school video project by a random kid who doesn't even care what he is making.
Terrible movie. Avoid this at all costs if you value your sanity and time.

- TriviaThe character Bart Hill goes by the code-name Double Dare in the movie. His original comic incarnation was known as Daredevil. However, due to licensing issues with Marvel's hero of the same name, this version uses the code-name that comic writer Roy Thomas gave Hill during the series Alter Ego in the mid 1980's.
