Veritas-Prince of Truth

Unbelievably bad. Spare yourself!
This movie has really quite pathetic. I rarely write reviews but had to on this movie-it is very very bad. It may have passed for a made for TV movie in the 80's. The poor acting is ridiculous. Meaning no disrespect, Veritas' character acts very low functioning (IQ about 70 or so) or someone who had a brain injury . He goes around doing things like screaming out at the airport "I fly, I fly. Veritas flies. Just not in a plane." In rainman tone. His "wings" look like they attacked a group of maids at a convention then glued their dusters together, horrid. Poor quality animation (you could make the argument they were trying to go for the "comic book" type of animation but it is horrid. ALL the action scenes take place in an animation realm. It is a simple and really ridiculous story (they save the world by drawing the comic book a certain way and then this awkward kid defeats the bad creature on his skateboard when the all powerful hero can not do it. The guy never flies...

Wonderful adventure trip with nostalgia feeling
First of all, where does all the hate and negative one-star reviews come from? This is a little gem of a movie, I caught it on one of the movie cable channels here in Europe. My 8 year old daughter loved every minute of this adventure comic book movie, as did I. Far too many contemporary adventure type movies rely too heavily on half baked CGI which can ruin any movie. Veritas on the other hand, tells a solid story with excellent CGI and sfx interspersed to drive the story forward. What is shown for example from the comic book world which is the home of the main protagonist in this film, consists of top notch animation. The director seems to have gone for quality over quantity. Also, the young cast is excellent which helps you get sucked into the storyline. All in all an excellent comic book adventure type film which comes highly recommended!

Unsophisticated and pandering
This movie is only for those under the age of 11. I collect all things super hero and this movie is not allowed in my collection. Couldn't even watch it. Horrible low budget waste of time. FOR CHILDREN ONLY>
