DELGO (Theatrical Release USA 2008)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 1.1|5.0 Starsì

Delgo vies with Battle for Terra for lowest star rating achievement on Ben Meyers' International Movie Critics' critiques. Delgo has no strong storyline. Character development waivers. Cameramen cut scenes before they’re complete (i.e., the opening of the chest scene) and leaves the viewer with no expectation, no bridge for the next scenes. Delgo’s best friend is a ‘goofy jerk,’ but the ‘jerk’ makes too many mistakes so that the comedic element is lost. Those scenes need serious editing for ultimate effect. It’s obvious that much time, care, and money went into the making of this movie; but, unfortunately, the end result is poor.

No. Despite the well-chosen and well-known character voices, Delgo is pretty much a waste of time.
