Movie Reviews of Modesty Blaise
Movie Review: What a travesty
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a huge Modesty Blaise fan. I own and have read all the books and most of the comics. This movie is a disaster. First of all Modesty is BLONDE!!No no no this is all wrong, Modesty is of a Middle Eastern background, how can she be BLONDE!! Next why on earth do Modesty and Willie Garvin KISS!! Arghhhh. Modesty and Willie don't have that kind of a relationship. The important thing about the Modesty Blaise series is the characters and their interaction, this movie is just high camp and sets and costumes. Terrible terrible.If I could give this no stars I would.
Movie Review: Awful
Summary: 1 Stars
This is truly awful - both in and of itself and especially in comparison with the assured and sophisticated novels. Modesty Blaze is here played as a silly vain woman, not as a world-wise leader of men, her side-kick looks too weak to lift his own luggage and their government contact is a twit. It's intended to be hip, 60's pop-adelic 'like wow man' but it is simply a reminder of how self-indulgent and lame most of that was.Movie Review: Waste of time
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a real fan of parody and was hoping this film would fit the mold. Nope. It was boring and a waste of time. The Flint movies were superb - Fathom was acceptable. This is the first DVD I bought that I gave away after watching it (and I have a large collection of 1950 Sci Fi bad movies!). Don't bother renting or buying this DVD. It is a waste of money to do so.
