Why?
My mom had read the book(s) and found out there was a movie. Her and I decided to watch it with the rest of the family.
What in the world?
Doc Savage goes to South America to try and find a civilization of people that his father had bought the land from.
Personal thoughts
I don't even know where to begin with this movie. I mean one of the first things that comes to my mind is the fact that all of his vehicles have Doc Savage on it. I mean that was a very interesting tactic, but he wasn't trying to stay anonymous so that was fine I suppose. Secondly, he has a legit Fortress of Solitude. I think he might have stolen it from Superman, but no mention of DC is in this movie. A hunch is a hunch though. The fortress was in a super realistic igloo so there is a slight variation. Thirdly, something that was so trivial but so vital to my memory of this movie was crib man. His bed was a crib and he was a fully grown adult. It even rocked and everything. Once that scene came on, my family was definitely questioning the seriousness of the movie itself.
Score
I have to give this movie a 9 out of 10. I loved almost every second of it. The pacing was very odd and all of the music was basically marches made by John Philip Sousa (USA of Sousa is in red, white, and blue by the way), but with Doc Savage lyrics so that got old kind of fast. There is so much I want to say about this movie, but so much I also just don't want to give away. I do want to say that the end fight with the main villain of the movie is just amazing and a definitely a must watch. Be careful when you watch this movie, Doc Savage has a lethal twinkle in his eye and you might just catch yourself having a genuinely good time.
Watch what you love,
Your fellow film watcher
