Captain Battle: Legacy War (2013) User Reviews

You'll have more fun gorging your eyes out with a hot knife!

[darkSPY666 · 1/10 · 25 June 2013]

This movie has a lower IMDb rating that 'The Hottie & the Nottie' starring the awful Paris Hilton. Need I say more!? OK, the entire movie looks like it was shot by a ten year old who has stolen his father's camcorder. The 'effects' (if you can call them that) were done by someone who has only just began learning the very basics of After Effects and the script was written by a complete moron! How these so-called 'movies' ever get the money to be produced is completely beyond any reasonable comprehension. When you hear about very talented filmmakers and struggling directors desperately trying to make their way in the business, then seeing utter junk like this, you wonder what kind of twisted logic exists in the movie industry.

Avoid, at ALL costs. Do NOT pay to watch this movie. In fact, don't even bother wasting your bandwidth to download a pirated version.

Seriously bad!

Below average, I'd call it a Z movie.

This is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The trouble is, where to begin....

I suppose the start of the movie is a good place for me to tear into the many, or should I say countless flaws of this movie.

Well, it starts out with a "high speed pursuit on dirt roads" that in reality is cars going 10 mph, over a field, with BADLY(I could make more realistic flames with MS Paint) made computer animated muzzle flashes coming out of pistols and assault rifles. Next up is a "bazooka" like device that you could actually see straight through before it fired, topping it off with an explosion that basically is a car, with badly made computer animated flames superimposed over it.

My opinion on the opening credits that follow this awful "intro" is as following: The best part of the entire movie could be the cartoon part in the opening credits.

The rest of the movie follows the example made in the intro...

Bad camera editing, bad acting, bad lighting conditions, bad sound, bad "special effect", I say special, but they are hardly special, turning on the sepia and negative mode on a camera can hardly be defined as special? Can they? At best, this movie has "effects".

Bad makeup, painting a guy red in the face with food coloring isn't really makeup is it ?

Do NOT get me started on plot, plot holes, storyline and so on, because there is none, If I hadn't previously watched Captain America, I would be lost on several occasions, because this movie assumes that you know a lot of things up front.

Basically if you value your sanity, stay clear. The only reason for watching this is to be able to say, "That movie sucked almost as bad as Captain Battle: Legacy War" later in life.....

In conclusion: Arnold Schwarzenegger's, "Hercules in New York" from 1969 is a masterpiece compared to this..

Its either a Tribute to bad films or its just a bad film

[Evil-Lee-666 · 1/10 · 3 July 2013]

After watching this Movie 5 times in a weekend (my buddy & I told friends it was the best movie ever made, a must see) I am still undecided as to the actual agenda of this movie. Is it......

Option 1: Its a tribute to every bad movie ever made using every bad camera shot, bad effects, really bad editing & some seriously depressing acting (if this is the case then its Genius) Option 2: Its simply the worst movie ever made period (if this is the case then someone needs shooting or stopped from having any offspring for the sake of Humanity in general) As for the storyline......well its a Captain America rip off almost from start to end.

It was funny the first time I watched it & the fun aspect shrunk with every viewing to the point where suicide was a viable option. Its fairly obvious that they blew the entire budget on the Car & the Chicks with nothing left for the effects or editing. I am lost for words as to how I express my level of pity towards this movie.

Why do people make movies like this?

[martin-foerner · 1/10 · 5 June 2013]

SFX: -4 Soundtrack: 0 Actors: 2 Camera: 0 (the first scenes already show 50% grass-close-ups) Men's Outfits: 3 Women's Outfits: 6 (tits yay, but srsly porno Nazi queen?) Plot: 3 (They revive Himmler and he has a red face!?! And then they want to revive Hitler) requisites: -2 (plastic guns, Nazis drive Honda Element) ending: N/A (the movie just stops instead of a showdown)

Overall I would say it was a waste of time to watch this piece of crap--- I wouldn't even call it movie because it misses significant characteristics of movies (for example an ending). The best part is the scene in the strip club, which isn't good but still worse than other movies. And why the hell does he have an eye patch? He doesn't even have any superpowers...? Even the normal Nazis beat the crap out of him... yes, those with swastikas-"tattoos" painted on their skin with Edding.

A massive testicle sandwich!

Nazis, strippers, actors who look like they should be in porn, bargain basement special effects, dodgy costumes and really silly music= Captain Battle

Sam Battle has a had a bit of a hard time in Iraq, he has a horrible injury and his good pal Dr Storm injects him with BS serum. He falls into a coma and goes home to the US of A where he recovers miraculously. Next he learns that Nazis are taking over his town and the shenanigans begin in earnest. Evil skinheads run amok under the command of their buxom MILF commander who minces around in fetish gear barking orders with a voice only slightly less annoying than Kim Kardashian's. Some sort of plot is attempted next! Nazi MILF wants to get her monkey paws on the BS serum and abducts Dr Storm (dun dun DUUUN!) Sam Battle now must discover his family legacy and save the day.

I like to think that this movie has some redeeming features, because I spent a couple of hours of my life on it so I will try to be as merciful as I can. It is fairly funny, if you are in the right sort of mood for watching something with production values which are completely dire. The script is awful, the acting is awful and that can have it's own charm if you happen to be off your face or something. Let's face it nobody wants to watch Schindler's List when they are inebriated, with that in mind it could be a great movie to watch after crawling home from the pub or if you happen to be a stoner.

I gave it 3 out of 10 because it could be funny under the right circumstances and there was at least an attempt at a story. Watch it sober at your own risk though, you have been warned.

Shamelessly incompetent

[TheLittleSongbird · 1/10 · 27 February 2015]

Captain Battle: Legacy War is one of those movies where you shouldn't expect all that much from in the first place, but watching this gave me the impression that other than using every cliché in the book with some blatant ripping off that everyone involved in this movie weren't even trying.

The best thing about the movie is the scene in the strip club which was amusing in a mild sense, it still didn't stop the scene from feeling irrelevant to what there is of the story. Which unfortunately is not very much at all complete with sluggish pacing, a lot of unimaginatively staged and poorly filmed action, very little happening with lots of irrelevant padding and a very "that's it?" ending. Captain Battle: Legacy War looks bad, with drab photography, very limited sets(back-lots and alleyways, even in scenes that needed something more than that), ridiculous-looking make-up(especially the red stuff put on the main villain's face), very rudimentary-level special effects and even the cheapest looking fancy-dress costumes look better than the costumes in this movie.

Unfortunately that's not even it for the flaws. There's also an awful script, students talking about embarrassing situations in school/university corridors are much less painful than listening to this horrendously cheesy and improvisatory-sounding dialogue. The movie's also ineptly directed and of the characters the heroes are bland clichés and the villains(especially the Nazi General) are even more clichéd and like very vulgarly broad foreign stereotypes that border on causing offence. As for the acting that is just as terrible, with a lead performance so wooden that wooden planks seemingly have more personality, Marlene Mc'Cohen and Jenny Allford's attractive looks are not enough to compensate for their very bland acting and the Nazi General is so overacted it's like he belongs in a completely different movie.

All in all, I have seen worse but even that is not enough to stop Captain Battle: Legacy War from being so shamelessly incompetent. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Laughable

My kid can make a better screenplay than this. Even if this was supposed to be satire, it would still suck major balls. I'm assuming they thought that if they had a nice looking woman as the main antagonist that they could make some decent money of off 16 year olds buying the movie. And for a super hero he gets beat up a lot.

The "Legacy" is that it is a Scourge on the Artistry of Film-making

[MinistryofDoom · 1/10 · 13 May 2019]

Hey kids, ya like Captain America? Sure you do. Well tell you what, how about you come here and check out Captain Battle! Look, he's got an Eye patch like Nick Fury and he's a super soldier like Captain America and he fights Nazis too!! Remember when your mom would take you into the local strip mall Dollar Store, and they had cheap action figures that looked like really poorly made versions of the Ninja Turtles or He-man toys that were probably assembled and painted by 12 year old kids in a toxic sweatshop in Indonesia? Captain Battle: Legacy War is the film version of that. It's a cheap stupid rip-off Captain America: The First Avenger. There's no reason whatsoever for this film to exist other than to attempt to misdirect and reap wads of Marvel money. As an artistic motion picture, it's garbage. Right down to the bad costumes, bad writing, bad acting, bad direction. There is no redeeming factor to this steaming pile of Hulk poo at all. The Captain America films are so widely available that you would never need to even watch this so-called film unless you are a masochist that likes to torture yourself with crappy films. If that's your fetish, this is your film.

so bad

[theamazingbulkfan123 · 1/10 · 27 March 2023]

Not family friendly at all dont watch this with your kids this movie is horrible quality and to think it was made in 2013. This movie is horrible. The main characters are stupid. This movie is so bad it makes me wanna off myself. I don't even understand how this has even 1.3 stars it is almost as bad as The Shawshank Redemption. This movie is abhorrently bad And they shouldn't have included Nazis in it because it ties the movie to the real world and draws close connections to a worldwide time of tragedy and sadness. This movie disgusts me because I can imagine a WW2 soldier with PTSD having horrible flashbacks to the times he had in the war. Overall, I find this to be disrespectful, stupid, and inappropriate.

A must see

[romanjparma · 10/10 · 1 December 2022]

A very great movie if not comparable to the real captain America. I have watched this move over 20 times and it has been great every time. I do believe the past reviews were not truthfully watching the movie and they were watching the original captain America. This move surpasses all boundaries even modern movies have set with its special effects and amazing scenery. The story is very compelling and breathtaking with it pushing boundaries many directors are scared to push. The only bad part is you can't show it to kids which sucks because I believe that all people on this planet need to see this before the original captain America and they will realize captain America copied them.10/10 I am gonna watch it again.

This is by far the greeeeaaaatessstt superhero movie of alll tiiimme. I cannot believe that Captain America ripped off Captain Battle. TRUULLYY DISGRACEFUL. Marvel needs to be sued and come up with more original ideas. Captain Battle was a truly life changing experience a that had me on the edge of my seat. In the climax, when Captain Battle said, "it's battlein' time" and then he battled everyone, I legitimately cried. If there is a brown stain in the movie theater, it was probably me. My favorite part was when Morbius and Grimcutty showed up and Morbcutty'd all over the bad guys. I cannot believe that this movie isn't rated 69/10 on this app. Disgraceful!
