"The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special" is a 13.5-minute live action short film from 2002, so it has its 15th anniversary this year. The director is Scott Leberecht,a successful visual effects artist as well, and I see this is based on comic books apparently. I must say I am not familiar with the character of Lobo at all. Neither am I familiar with any of the three main actors in here. The story is really absurd: The Easter Bunny is sick of playing second fiddle to Santa every year, so he decides to hire Lobo to kill Papa Cringle. Lobo accepts the offer and at the same time Santa Claus takes the bunny hostage. So when Lobo arrives at Santa's place, after lots of bloodshed, he finds the Bunny as well. Santa offers Lobo thrice the amount Bunny paid him for letting him live and also offers him a nice rabbit stew. Will Lobo accepts? Something personal comes into play then and we find out Santa has his own history with the NRA. This is a very strange little film, not unentertaining, but lacks real love to detail to make it a rewarding watch. For example how does Bunny get out of the cage all of a sudden. And the ending is also a bit expected honestly. It's close, but I give this one a thumbs-down. Not recommended.

This movie was great. It had the Lobo character done perfectly. This short movie is based on the comic book of the same name, basically, the Easter Bunny has had enough with Santa Claus and Christmas, so he hires Lobo to kill Santa Claus. This movie would've gotten a 10/10 except for 2 things. first of all, it's too short. The movie is only 13 minutes long. I know it's not the directors fault, I just wish the comic was a whole lot longer so the movie would be a whole lot longer. Second, there's some rap-rock crap played at the end and during the credits of the movie. other than those nit-pickings, this movie shows how comics adapted to movies should be done.

I have always loved Lobo since I first lay my eyes upon him. This mean killer, with the greatest look. It's a good try, to make a Lobo flick. The problem is that Lobo can't be made 'real'; at least it is very hard to make him look good (as you all know that he dose). But Ken Niederbaumer, that is the key special effects make-up artist, and Scott Leberecht, that have directed this Lobo flick, have made a great work.Of course the acting is a bit poor, but I had expected something much worse.If you get the chance to see it, I recommend you to do so. Lobo is Lobo, and I hope to see more of him in motion.10/10 (mainly because I expected something much worse)/Elforg

I've been a Lobo fan since the early 90's. And when I heard rumors about a Lobo movie comin' together, I was pretty thrilled.Then I realized that a Lobo flick could not be made..ya know..no one could play da main man. And they would shoot it to fit pg-13.Well, with that in mind I got used to the thought that there will be a sad excuse for a Lobo flick (if it ever would be made).Making a long uninteresting story short. I found out there was a Lobo flick made by a student named Scott Leberecht, I really wanted to see it. It took time to find a copy (because all the laws around copyright and student project in general).I saw it, and it was pretty okay, I thought it would be worse. The make up effects held great class...Lobo's muscle outline could have been better.The acting and general shooting of the 13min flick had some probs. But hey, I did not expect so much. See it, it's not a great piece of work, but I have to give him cred for making it! There is a lot of fans out there (including me), and they all have expectations on a Lobo movie.Andrew Bryniarski (seems to been picked to play Lobo in da big movie also) did a good job. But I think Lobo needs some more work to fit the big screen both acting wise and dialog.Kisses /Lucy7 / 10
