As others have noted, it is a well intentioned failure that tried to create a black superhero decades before Black Panther. Its urban setting keeps it grounded in a somewhat tangible 'reality', which really distinguished it from other comic book films of the time, but neither Townsend's writing or direction inspire much confidence, and he is not a leading man.

In spite of some awkwardness, it's still a unique take on the superhero genre from a representation standpoint.

MAN this movie was trash. So fucking bad. Get Meteorized was the fucking tag line, after watching it I wanted to get dead as fuck because this movie was so fucking horrible it made me hate rap for a minute, and I fucking like rap. Big Daddy Kane sold out like you fucking read about.

Pretty bad, and VERY early '90s, but it's too good-natured and well-intentioned to really hate. And it has a few funny bits.

Incredibly charming, full of heart, and a lot of fun from start to finish. At least it was for me and my group of friends. Not a "good" film by any commonly used definition of that word but I can honestly recommend checking it out. Robert Townsend is one of the most naive and/or charming leading men I've seen in a while.
