Disturbing yet enthralling

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

You know it was always my dream to become a writer and director when I was a kid. As I grew up I slowly learned that my talent wasn't in making movies but rather, reviewing them. whenever a student film pops up I take the time to watch it and while I might be hard on large franchises I have a soft spot in my heart for student films. I know the struggle that many go through in order to get their ideas out there and become known in the movie industry; and you know it's hard being the little fish in a sea full of sharks that's why small creators have to pull out their A game when they make movies. For this movie I am proud to say that they hit a lot points spot on. Some of my major issues were the cinematography and the fact that some of the comedy was flatter then my wife's ass, but all other points were spot on. The beginning of this film is where the directors talents shine but near the end it begins to fall of hard which was disappointing to me as I was really getting into the story and the characters they had. I it feel would be a disservice to the director if I didn't mention is the excellent use of practical graphics. Most movies you watch today and ask yourself why something looks so awful is because usually it is practical effects. As movies became more and more CGI many practical graphics began to look out of place compared to the perfectly computer generated counter part. In Spaghettiman this doesn't happen because the director realizes that you can't combine CGI and practical graphics, and for that I applaud him. Overall if you want an excellent film which major companies like Marvel and Disney can learn from watch the beginning of this hilarious super hero film.

SPAGHETTIMAN is an awkward superhero spoof made on a tiny budget. It's about a regular guy who accidentally eats a bowl of radioactive pasta and turns into the titular superhero, using his new-found pasta powers to fight crime in the city. It's a film as cheesy as it sounds, packed with lame humour and little else. The jokes feel laboured and in one fight scene he actually turns into spaghetti. It really is a waste of your time.

I enjoy watching low budget films mainly because they can be more entertaining than big production films. I truly enjoyed watching this movie. This was absolutely hilarious, very original. The actors took their role seriously and just ran with it, each really delivered a serious performance despite the corniness which probably made it even funnier. It was obvious that this movie was really thought out and the script was really well written and directed. I feel that lately a lot of comedies are not well written. Perhaps the writers think that just because their movie is low budget, or because it's a comedy, they don't need to care about quality; so long as 100 fart jokes are thrown in, then it's comedy! Wrong! That's cheap comedy.Yet that's not the case with Spaghettiman. It had so many wonderful elements, plot twists, witty dialogue, it's worth watching again. As a matter of fact, I would actually be willing to see a sequel made.

I can't describe the level at which this film made my strangest fantasies come true. A bearded slacker, Ninjas, and Pasta - definitely not your Plain Jane super hero flick. Don't let the independent status fool you. For an indie film made with next-to no budget, the story line was stellar. The practical effects were done well, not corny. The comedy kept me laughing the whole way through, and didn't feel like an open mic night. Plus, the soundtrack was killer. You can see that a lot of heart was put into Spaghettiman. The bar was set very high with this one. Worth every second. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for more Mark Potts films.
