iBoy (2017)
6/10
Huge Missed Oportunity..but still OK
23 August 2022
The film's description says a kid that gets superpowers and pursue righteousness. I love that theme., usually can't get enough of those. This was a good production, and very well acted. But the plot weakens and nearly dies. The original super powers while impossible in real life are acceptable for a film. It's really just mind interacting with electromagnetic waves. Sure. But when the writers get their protagonist in a tight spot they haven't thought through before inking the script, they resolve the problem of with magical new superpowers that have nothing to do with manipulating radio waves or interfacing with a computer. A better, thoughtful script could have turned this simple movie into a really good maybe great film. Hell it could have led to an Iboy series and made a fortune. But these investors blew it.
