Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze
Certified Crap. CrapScore 68, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Ron Ely's pulp superman investigates a family mystery while the film keeps announcing how delightfully old-fashioned everyone is. Animated flourishes, overplayed villains and extravagantly noble speeches turn an adventure serial into a particularly insistent camp performance.
