Customer Reviews of The Adventures of Captain Marvel [Serial]

One of The Best Movie Serials Ever
The Adventures of Captain Marvel has to be without a doubt one of the finest movie serials ever made. For 1941, the special effects are top notch. And the story line is very fluid and easy to follow. <
> <
>The fact that the producer took artistic liberties with Captain Marvel's origin story, does not detract from how good this serial is. <
> <
>The Adventures of Captain Marvel stars Tom Tyler as Captain Marvel and Frank Coughlin, Jr. as Billy Batson. For the medium, there performances are very well executed and not too terribly over the top. <
> <
>With this serial, it is easy to tell that the studio actually put out some expense for sets, scenery and location. All in all a very well made serial.

Time to go Big time - ...to the Movies next!
I have heard a lot of hype about this serial. I eventually got the tape and the comments I heard were no hype but real. This is the best super hero action serial ever. I got the DVD version too and everything was crisp and clear. <
> <
>This is one character that deserves an appropriate remake in the big screen. Although nearly similar to Superman in powers, Captain Marvel is different in all other aspects. It's going to be a blockbuster for that reason. <
> <
>Batman and Superman on the big screen have fully run their novelty into the ground. "Batman Begins" will flop because it's not novel. "Fantastic 4" will hit it big because it's refreshing. That will also be for "Shazam" if someone makes a major movie out of it.

One of the better Saturday Matinee Serials
If I were a kid in the thirties of forties, I know I would have liked this serial. <
> <
>Sure, you can see the wires sometimes. And yeah, that dummy they use for long shots of our hero flying is a hoot. But hey, that's what these serials were all about. <
> <
>This was one of the more cleverly written serials. The plot was quite good. Captain Marvel even killed a few of the bad guys!
