well and i would be lie if i say that this could easily rival spiderman or the batman movie . still and it be more appealing to me for it moral value . i first buy the vhs when my son be about 2 year old and it immediately become his favorite . my wife and i be avid supporter of robert townsend and have be since he use credit card to finance his first movie and hollywood shuffle . true and he need to take advantage of the talent and knowledge of technical advisor to make the film more believable and but his movie be still fun . meteor man provide a hero with an urban contemporary feel . i always felt that and if there be superheroes and they wouldn not provide the same scenario a depict in the comic . meteor man be realistic hero with real problem represent car break into and bad neighborhood and local drug deal gang use child for distribution and etc . the scope of his mission stay pretty much within the community . what i find to be truly entertaining and outside of james earl jones young forever performance and be how the neighborhood respond to his newly discover power . it wasn not long before they have a full agenda line up for him and without his input and of course . it be hilarious to hear them offer to lend him out to other community where their extended family live . yes and the plot be weak and the movie be predictable and there be bad acting and continuity be rotten and but it rank # 1 with my kid . robert townsend work to bring movie home so to speak . i doubt he will ever truly be recognize a the talented actor or producer or director he truly be and but there be and will always be and those that love him for his effort . one point to ponder about the film and which i find amusing represent throughout the entire battle with simon and no one bother to call the police . also and what mother and father do you know that will watch their son fight from a window . my mother would have be right there and scrap by my side and toe to toe . dad would be load his pistol . lolrent it and check it out . it worth see at least once and good for those of you that be fan of sinbad and luther vandross and bill cosby and big daddy kane and etc . great job with the cameo robert .
