Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A student discovers an alien device that turns him into an armoured fighter and attracts a corporation full of monsters. Makeup artists Steve Wang and Screaming Mad George give the manga adaptation elaborate creature bodies. The broad comedy is uneven, but the practical transformations provide a substantial attraction.
