Movie Reviews of Joe 90 - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Marionettes in action!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a kid I watched a number of Gerry Anderson's series; SUPERCAR, FIREBALL XL-5, THUNDERBIRDS, CAPTAIN SCARLET, STINGRAY. All had varying degrees of technical expertise. Watched progressively, in order of production, one can see how Anderson & Company improved the technology they used.
JOE 90 is a series about a ten year old boy who is allowed to become a super spy by means of "The Big Rat," a machine that transfers the "brain patterns" of older, expert people, into Joe's mind. Certainly, no enemy faction would EVER suspect a ten year old kid of being a threat to their evil plans!!!!!!
The plot is silly; the idea of using a kid in this way is handled by the device of having Joe's scientist father act reticent about the spy agency's use of his child, but nevertheless, Joe gets to go to work .... every kids' deepest fantasy in the world of 1960s James Bond and The Man From UNCLE.
The puppetry, however, is superb. Anderson's technicians really shine as subtle human motions and postures are recreated here far better than in any previous series. This must be the epitome of the Anderson's work if technical expertise alone is the judge.
Many earlier series were better by other standards. Thunderbirds will probably remain the quintessential Gerry Anderson series, despite the fact its puppetry is not quite equal to JOE 90's.
But as a kid, I never saw JOE 90. Now, on DVD, I am seeing it for the first time.
It's fun, and I can still see why it would have appealed to kids everywhere.
The perfect childhood fantasy. Silly, but, hey, it's a TV SHOW!!!!!
