They Call Me Jeeg Robot's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
Italy finally has its very own superhero, and his capacity for mixing social critique with heroic feats is boundless. Gabriele Mainetti?s thoroughly enjoyable, surprisingly plangent and gritty ?They Call Me Jeeg? features a two-bit criminal loser who stumbles upon his powers, Toxic Avenger-style (without the deformity), and learns to care about humanity thanks to a traumatized woman who?s convinced he?s the Japanese manga character Steel Jeeg.
The Hollywood Reporter
The pic isn't funny or daring enough to make much of an entry into a spandex-saturated American market.
Los Angeles Times
Though not the most sure-footed of superhero entries, as an offbeat perspective on the genre, ?They Call Me Jeeg? merits an enthusiast?s look.
