   I saw 1982's Megaforce. In the words of Charleston Picou, "Ever watch the old G.I. Joe cartoons from the ‘80s and think to yourself 'Gee, I wish someone would turn that into a live-action movie, but make it dumber with a shoestring budget?' If so, then have we have the film for you. MegaForce has stealth motorcycles, holographic technology, [ATVs turned tanks with] lasers, and land-based vehicles that are suddenly capable of flight when the plot calls for it. It really is like a cartoon from the 1980s [....]
   
   With that said, this movie is one of the cheesiest 80s films I have ever seen. It’s ridiculous, but in all the right ways. I should have hated the movie, since the it had so much bad going into it. However, the overall concept, the dialogue, the films final battle, and [lead actor] Barry Bostwick occasionally breaking out a goofy expression, just made it hard to really hate the movie. If you want to watch something that’s a glorious trainwreck of over the top schlockfest that could have only been made in the 1980s, then give it a look."
   
   My fatigue and that can of Mike's Hard Lemonade probably helped but I ended up enjoying the movie despite its considerable imperfections.
