Featured review
The Mechanical Monsters: Vintage Kyptonian action
The Mechanical Monsters see's the return of our favourite superhero as this time he takes on a villian with a small army of giant robots he uses in his jewellery heists.
Alike the others this is quaint and highly nostalgic, with action happening in time with the music, cheesy one liners and Lois Lane there simply to be saved.
At 10 minutes in length there isn't much to see but it makes up for it being a nice slice of old school wartime entertainment.
The Good:
Highly nostalgic
Charming
The Bad:
Very short
Somewhat cheesy
Things I Learnt From This Short:
Every good villian needs a moustache
A villians lair isn't complete without a lava pool
I'm suddenly genuinely curious whether the police actually had tommy guns
