Critic Reviews

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    There is too much opportunity to notice the weak spots in Mr. Needham's direction. In the case of Megaforce, these include silly dialogue, poor matching shots, oafish staging, and one scene filmed between two silhouettes against a magenta background.

  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide

    Well over $20 million was spent to create a film full of sound and fury but without an inkling of intelligence.

  • Rob Vaux, Mania.com

    The film maintains an actual "plot," but views it more as a nuisance than a necessity, probably because it would detract from the scorching homoeroticism of Bostwick in his spandex unitard.

  • Adam Lippe, Examiner.com

    One can only speculate where the money went (up their nose?) because it certainly isn't in the shoddy miniatures, or the fantastically abysmal blue-screen work. Maybe all the money went to a wrangler for Barry Bostwick's headband?

  • Widgett Walls, Needcoffee.com

    Wow. Just wow.

    Classic cheese! Desperately needs a DVD release!

    Megaforce? Megafail! It's awesome to watch this movie just to see it failing at pretty much everything. It's incredible how nothing bloody works in this. But unlike some of it's peers, it's actually light and you can have some fun watching it on how bloody awful… More

    Utterly stupid.

  • Sean S


    Classic cheese, like Julius Caesar's face imprinted on a block of cheddar, sure its not going to be a dignified high point in history but it's something unique to see.
