Better than most cheesy serials I've seen, but that is hardly an accomplishment.

Crap. Cheesy, dull, repetitive, and Captain Marvel often seems more like a bully than a hero as he grins smugly as the bullets bounce off his chest

A totally entertaining '40s serial with all those great hokey touches you know and love.

When Republic balked at paying for the rights to Superman, they settled for Fawcett's less-expensive superhero, Captain Marvel. The serial departs a good deal from the comic book, and does not share its humor, but it's still a bang-up example of the golden age of Republic serials. Tom Tyler is the perfect embodiment of the Big Red Cheese, and the flying effects by the Lydecker brothers are neat. This was Freder's first-ever serial and it turned me into a lifelong fan of the format.
