I must admit that I was expecting a tad more from the 1983 comedy "The Return of Captain Invincible" than what writers Steven E. De Souza and Andrew Gaty delivered. Why? Well, the synopsis sounded fun, and I figured that since the movie had the likes of Alan Arkin and Christopher Lee on the cast list, then it couldn't be all bad.
But early on in the movie, as they started to break out into singing and dancing, I started to lose interest in the movie. I am not overly keen on musicals, and I didn't know that director Philippe Mora's 1983 movie "The Return of Captain Invincible" was a musical. So this was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me.
Sure, the acting performances in the movie were adequate, but since the movie failed to capture my interest and the singing and dancing made whatever interest dwindle with each minute, then this movie didn't cut it for me.
The costumes and props in this movie were fairly cheesy and campy.
My rating of "The Return of Captain Invincible" lands on a three out of ten stars.
