Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

guisreis Very campy film by Hanna-Barbera (but it's live action) that reminds me a bit "Superfriends" TV animated series. Though, it's live action and the superheroes are the members of the Kiss band! Their superpowers come from four magical talismans protected by a force field. Star Child can shoot a laser from the star that comes out of his right eye and also uses it for controlling minds and for activating his superhuman hearing ability. The Demon has superstrength and may breath fire (besides having a thunder voice, a mighty roar... and a long tongue). Space Ace shoots laser rays from both hands (although strangely never uses this power while fighting) and teleports himself and his partners by making the hitchhiking gesture with his thumb. Catman was supposed to have superhuman agility... but all the four seem to have the same superhuman agility! Well, at least he is the responsible for the jokes only Ace laughs at. They all also have a superjump, may slow down the fall, have (clumsy) martial art techniques... and fly, off course. In the movie, the enemy is is a mad scientist (why not?) who converts people into androids. The rockstar superheroes must save the day by fighting inside an amusement park. Everyhing with bad acting and poor visual effects. Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss all hate the movie. Well, it's somewhat funny, but really not nice at all.

capone666 Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park The reason robots cannot replace rock-stars is because they would short-circuit from all the booze they'd have to consume.Mind you, the musical machines in this fantasy manage to make it on stage.When funding for the automatons he maintains around Magic Mountain is funnelled into a KISS concert instead, an imbalanced inventor (Anthony Zerbe) unleashes his anger on the amusement park in the form of a robotic Gene Simmons (Gene Simmons) that rampages the grounds.He later replaces the rest of the super-powered band: the optic-blasting Starchild (Paul Stanley), the teleporting Space Ace (Ace Frehley) and the spring-heeled Catman (Peter Criss), with android doubles designed to brainwash KISS fans.Produced by Hanna-Barbera and aired on NBC as a movie, this campy cult classic makes the campy character designs of KISS seem even more cartoonish.Besides, I don't think a robot could be as arrogant as Gene Simmons without imploding.Yellow Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

BA_Harrison There's no point in trying to deny that Attack of the Phantoms (as the version I watched was called) is cheaply produced, horribly acted, poorly written, badly directed trash designed purely to help capitalise on KISS's popularity at the time: album and T-shirt sales are what this silly TV movie is really all about. But as a member of the KISS Army for over thirty years, and as a lifelong fan of bad movies, I can't help but enjoy this nonsense a little (OK, a lot) more than I probably should.The film takes place at a theme park (actually Six Flags Magic Mountain in California) where malfunctioning rides are threatening to seriously affect profits. In order to bring in the crowds, the park's owner arranges for popular rock band KISS to play several outdoor concerts. But when the park's head engineer, Abner Devereaux (Anthony Zerbe), is given the sack, he plots revenge, sending his robots to cause further trouble.KISS come to the rescue with their superpowers, battling numerous robots in the process (one of the advantages of having stars who wear face-paint is that they're easy to double in action scenes), but the band are eventually captured after their magical talismans are zapped with a laser by Devereaux. Trapped in a laser cage, Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace watch on helplessly as their robot doubles take to the stage and sing Rip and Destroy, a bastardised version of their hit Hotter Than Hell, in order to incite the audience to riot.Combining what little powers they have left, KISS are able to use telekinesis to get back their talismans, recharge themselves, and escape to battle their doppelgangers. Having destroyed the robots, the band proceed to belt out a proper KISS hit—Rock and Roll All Nite—much to the appreciation of their fans, and Devereaux, devastated by his defeat, turns into a catatonic vegetable.Best or worst scene (depending on your point of view): KISS are attacked by a gang of robotic, albino, monkey/werewolf monsters in silver jumpsuits (I kid you not!).7.5 out of 10 for the extreme cheeze factor, bumped all the way up to 10/10 for those great KISS songs (hits on the soundtrack include Beth, Almost Human, Shout It Out Loud, and I Stole Your Love, plus Love In Chains, Back In The New York Groove, That's the Kind of Sugar Papa Likes, and Mr. Make Believe from their solo albums).

MartinHafer Whether or not you like the rock band KISS, it's hard not to admit that they are the biggest whores in the history of music. I am not talking about their sex lives, but their willingness to almost anything for a buck. No, wait...considering that they starred in KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, they would do ANYTHING, A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G for a dollar!! You don't believe me? Well check out their official website as well as Gene Simmons' site. There is KISS wine, KISS skateboards, KISS phone skins, KISS comic books and even KISS toys. Heck, sooner or later I almost expect to see KISS home pregnancy kits, toilet paper and suppositories!! If I were in their position, I might, too, succumb to the lure of cash...it's hard to say. But as far as this made for TV movie goes, it's hard to imagine money holds this much power over anyone and this is way beyond the limit for traditional rock and roll whoring! It is, in my opinion, a travesty and KISS owes its fans something to pay them back for making this film--like maybe some free Gene Simmons Java (this is a real product, I swear).To say this is a horrible film is a gross misstatement. Aside from playing a few of their famous songs (such as "Beth" and "Detroit Rock City"), there is nothing about this film that is good in any way. Heck, even the choice of songs is often suspect, as the group definitely had better stuff than many of the forgettable tunes in this film.As I explain the plot, I want you to understand that I am not insane nor am I on drugs--this REALLY is the plot for the film. An amusement park has invited KISS for a series of concerts. However, the mastermind behind creating the park is a loopy guy (Anthony Zerbe--who made a career out of playing evil and slimy villains) and he hates KISS--though you are never exactly sure why. But, because Zerbe does not control the park, he is forced to spend most of his time living underneath the park--perfecting his weird audio-animatronic creations (similar to Disney's but even more evil). But, when Zerbe is fired, he vows revenge and unleashes his army of robot zombies!! Egad! Can anyone help? Is there any hope? Well, sure...as it turns out that KISS is actually made up of superheroes who make the X-Men look like losers. The Star Child (Paul Stanley) can shoot lasers out of his eyes and sing well. The Demon (Gene Simmons) can growl like a lion, shoot fire out of his mouth and sing...not so well (but he makes up for it by singing loudly). The Space Ace (Ace Frehley) can appear and disappear at will (sort of like his career with KISS, actually). And, the Cat...is a guy painted like a cat. So how do they have all these cool powers (that look REALLY bad on film, by the way)? They have a case with magic talismans which enable them to live many lives, play great tunes (sometimes) and shoot things out of their bodies (I'll say no more).So, Zerbe can't get himself a decent hairdo, but he is able to figure out that his next step is to steal these talismans. Unfortunately, they (like most talismans) are protected by a force field and his robot-zombie can't get them--that is until Zerbe creates a cool ray gun which renders the force field inert (by the way, how did he test this to know that it would work?!). In addition, he has created four exact replicas who will take KISS' place after they are kidnapped. Step one (get the talismans) and step two (kidnap KISS) work out great, but considering that Zerbe did not appear to have a step three it's not surprising that it all fell apart at the end. You'd think step three would be global domination or at least getting some hot chicks, but you never hear or see anything that would indicate there is any plan other than to replace KISS with robots (and, judging by this movie, this MIGHT have already been done by some other mad scientist before filming began!).Overall, this is a god-awful mess of a film which happens to have a few good songs, but otherwise it's 100% terrible and ONLY of interest to rapid KISS fans (who STILL might insist this is better than STAR WARS or the works of Akira Kurosawa) or bad film aficionados like myself. What makes this especially bad is not just the terrible script but the fact that it's obvious that the band could have cared less about the film--putting no energy into it and not even bothering to show up for the dubbing sessions or scenes (see the IMDb trivia section for more of this). Basically, it's just a change to whore themselves out and get even richer!
