Star Kid (1997)
4/10

Warning: Spoilers
The plot is fine. There are fun elements and the story is complete, though there are not really any big surprises. For those of you who do not know, this is a film about a weak kid who gets bullied at school and he encounters a robot suit from outer space that he can fit into and become "strong".

The acting is fine. Both the young and the adult actors delivered fine performances.

The special effects look quite cheap. It is probably a problem originated from the budget.

It gets more and more boring towards the end, and the climax is not at all rewarding. The ending is far too cheesy.

The look of the robot does not really impress me. It is sort of creepy for me. I would go with better design.

Still, it is a good family film for a Sunday afternoon if all you are looking forward to is some robot fun and nothing more. I am sure this film has done enough to impress the kids.

4/10 - Fine
