Enjoyable Show

Hi.. This film is only the first 4 episodes of a very popular TV kids show that aired in my country during the 80s. The show was very popular and is loved by every one in my country to date (Saudi Arabia), it was a long series of 20 something episodes. I can see why most reviewers hated this film, because its only the first 4 episodes and these episodes are truly not that good, the show however gets a lot better as it moves on, and the Arabic dubbing was quit appropriate ( maybe the English dubbing wasn't good which added to the lameness of this film ). The show changes in the middle of the series, and a new development in the plot occur where the two heroic siblings change into a giant robot the helps killing the monsters just like ultra man, that part is missing in this earlier part of series in this film.

Of course the show has its weaknesses, it was made in 1977, so the direction isn't that good, and sometimes you can tell the fake dinosaurs and the plot of the episodes gets a little repetitive. However, this show will remain a good and enjoyable show that i enjoyed as a kid and still enjoy to watch today with my own kids.
