Customer Reviews

Proof we are not alone.

A mysterious set of explosions leads Commander Cody to the conclusion that we are under attack from an unknown force. As we guessed from the title of the series, it must be the "Radar Men from the Moon". The series should not be too violent for today's youngsters, as most of the time, everybody is just slugging each other, and when they use guns, they can't seem to hit anything other than other guns. If you're young enough, this series is very suspenseful. Otherwise, you spend most of your time thinking about how dumb why didn't do this or why they didn't do that. Anyway, there are a lot of scenes staying in the car scenes or staying in the Rocketship scenes, or don't fly to close scenes. When will they ever learn? The good guys consistently insist on being outnumbered in fisticuffs and get the snot beaten out of them every time; when will they ever learn? And we know why; if you listen closely, you will recognize Clayton Moore (alias The Lone Ranger) without his mask. Still, they are persistent. Will it pay off, and can Commando Cody save the day, or will the bad moon leader, Retik, rule the Earth?
