A man called God is a pretty cool action drama but it struggles with some huge issues. One major flaw is that despite the obvious big budget involved in making this drama, they weren’t consistent with the standard they created for themselves therefore making the flaws in this drama more obvious and damaging. Even some of the cast acting were bad or inconsistent. For example there was this “American” FBI agent whose acting seems top notch at first and then a scene arrives where he meets Micheal on the street and the acting so obviously sucked. He is later shown again with some quality acting. I believe part of this problem here lay with the director and scriptwriter though. Then there’s the casting itself. I don’t think Micheal was the perfect cast for this role but I think he did ok overrall. He does have the face of an avenger and looks mean when he needs to but the problem is he looks mean/too serious most of the time including times when he may not mean to. Like when he’s being a cool flirt, or acting as a gentle man. He just comes off as a bit too serious most of the time. And it seems the script wright isn’t knowledgeable in the “cool flirt/player boy” area because he/she was too dependent on cheezy cliché stuff like the “catching the girl when she’s falling/beating up bad guys to save her” type of tricks to make Micheal the “smooth” guy character. Using such techniques is understandable and ok but the way it is executed in this drama doesnt pull off quite well. The scriptwright & probably director as well, certainly need lessons from movies like Batman or dramas like Bad Guy or Que sera sera or maybe real smooth guys in action because the cheesiness in this drama can be a bit overwhelming lol. That being said there are other noticeable minor faults contained in this drama but still these “minor” faults eventually add up and take a toll on what could have been a perfect 10/10 drama bringing it down to like a 7/10 or so. On the good side of things the big budget in this drama does pay off and you get to see alot of cool things and eye candy characters (well maybe not a lot but a fair enough amount). And I sorta liked the overly fancy hairdo’s, the action scenes were cool enough and I definitely enjoyed the Oceans 11/Batman part of things here. So if you liked those two movies then this drama is for you just as long as you don’t let its minor faults get to you. *Bibian, would you marry me?? I can’t live without you!* Lolz XD (“Bibian” is kinda like an inside joke if you’ve seen this drama lol)
