Solarman (1992 TV Movie)
7/10
An obscure but worthwhile exercise.

SPOILER: Ever heard of Solarman? Of course not because his comic only ran for two issues or so before being cancelled and his cartoon only ran for one episode; this one. Gormagga Kraal is an alien warlord who is planning to drain the sun of all its power so he can convert it into energy for his super-laser. The scientist who developed the super-laser decides he doesn't like this at all and so he fires a strange bracelet device to Earth where it is discovered by a boy named Benjamin Tucker. The scientist explain that if Benjamin Tucker presses the button on the bracelet while it's out in the sunlight then it will turn him into a fully grown superhero named Solarman. If you're a fan of the cheesy then you owe it to yourself to see this film; it's short so it's not too much of your life gone and it manages to pack a lot of 'what the flying hell?' into its runtime. This movie is technically solid for its time and action is incredibly entertaining.
