It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie s name is Avoid Man and not Meteor man, i am 100% sure i saw this movie in the 90s and the name was Avoid Man and not Meteor Man. I was reading about the Mandela Effect and this movie has a lot to do with it: 1. I clearly remember this movie as Avoid Man instead of Meteor Man and i saw it with my best friend and she also remembers it like that. we even had jokes about this.2. James Earl Jones feautures in this movie and he is involved in another famous Mandela Effect singularity. He played Darth Vaders voice in star wars and actually he said "Luke i am your father" instead "No i am your father" 3. Sinbad also stars in this movie and many people remembers him starring in an old genie film that actually doesn't exist) coincidence? time travel? help me get to the bottom of this.my email: [email protected]

Superhero movies pretty much always suck, and this is no exception. Its only redeeming quality is the fact the movie COULD have been even worse. I would put 'Batman & Robin' and 'Steel' above this movie, so yes it is that bad...If your looking for a black superhero, check out 'Blankman' its not a "serious" superhero movie but at least its entertaining.
