Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who likes a cape with their popcorn and sci-fi fans. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 1 hr 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
Born out of a Christmas ornaments-filled heaven, Turkish Superman fights the mob in order to save the day!
