GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

adonis98-743-186503 When underground beings explore the surface world from a deep oil well and inadvertantly cause a panic, only Superman can prevent a tragedy. Superman and the Mole-Men is packed with cartoony effects of the time, terrible acting and some of the dumbest humans i have ever seen in movie history, we don't even see him flying for god shakes the camera is like first person instead of 3rd one except one scene where he saves one of the mole men. Overall one of DC's absolute worst films and one huge waste of time and except an alright perfomance from George Reeves the film is just ridiculous. (2/10)

Ian (Flash Review)It clocks in at 1hr yet it has a properly thought out story. I had no idea what this would be like but I was presently surprised. Oil men drill a hole 23 miles down or something into the Earth and these hilarious little creature people living way down there ascend upon the outer crust. They makes friends with a little girl but of course the itchy trigger finger locals want them gone. Once threatened, they bring up a kickass ray gun that takes two of them to hold. Superman must come to save the day! Shot in black & white, it was a bummer not to see his costume in full color but it was interesting to see the effects they create to give the impression of him flying. One is a high POV shot from a crane over the town with a loud wind roar for the audio. Humorous. The acting is firm and dry but overall it was a solid film showing Superman's powerful traits. Films geeks should check this out.

flapdoodle64 'Superman & the Mole Men,' was filmed immediately prior to 'The Adventures of Superman' TAS) weekly TV series. This film was then released into theaters so as to insure that the producers recouped at least some of their investment in the TV show: at the time season 1 was filmed, there wasn't a sponsor yet, and in fact it took 2 years before Kellogs Cereal Co. took on the role and the show was finally broadcast.'Mole Men' was filmed just 1 year after the movie serial 'Atom Man Vs. Superman,' but 'Atom Man' is so primitive by comparison that it could have been made 30 years prior.Besides being enjoyable as an atmospheric and suspenseful B/W cold war scifi/horror pic (a la the original 'The Thing'), this little film is interesting since it engages in a little social commentary. Almost without exception, TAS never touched any of the burning social issues (bigotry, war, pollution, etc.), but 'Superman & the Mole Men' is, very obviously an allegory about prejudice. This makes 'Mole Men' a kind of bridge between the Superman radio show, which, starting after WWII, did a long series of award-winning social message programs, directly addressing issues such as race prejudice, war-mongering, and social welfare, and TAS, which stayed completely clear of social relevancy. (The Superman radio show, which ended in 1950, was produced by Bob Maxwell, who also produced the 1st season of TAS. I've never read anything that explained why TAS dropped the social relevancy of the radio show, but one could speculate it had something to do with the impact of various 'witch hunts' on the political and media spheres...) 'Superman & the Mole Men,' is the story of about some funny-looking little men who emerge into view after the world's deepest oil well is dug. The funny-looking men, who are not evil and whose world has been invaded by oil exploration, become victims of prejudice and eventually a mob forms with the intent of killing the funny-looking men. If you think about it, this might remind you of a contemporary real-life situation.

maple_leafs_kickass My father grew grew up watching George Reeves as Superman and when I was a little kid he had episodes on VHS and let me view them including this movie (passing them down in the family if you will), and I loved it.Clark Kent and Lois Lane get sent to a small town with and oil mine and from the mine emerge mole men radioactive and targeted by the town assumed to be deadly and it's up to Superman to stop this mayhem.It's just so wonderful and fun to view. The old style special effects and sound - the crew pulled off such a beauty with such little technology. George Reeves was my hero when I was a little kid, and I'm 16 now, it just goes to show how timeless and classic these adventures are.
