VERY disappointed by the movie when we saw in in Oct 1978...even at 16, felt it was awfully juvenile and stupid. Even more annoyed was one of the Movie Tie In magazines listed the songs that would be performed and really, only "I Stole Your Love" sounds live and pretty good too.
AOTP is inside KISSOLOGY #2 and while it has some music from the Solo albums instead of the canned TV music, still awful script, acting and it's embarrassing to be able to see stunt doubles for Ace and Peter, even with the makeup on. certain charm and definitely of the period, but just a Stinkbomb overall. For a more entertaining view, watch THE TOMORROW SHOW 10/31/79 where an inebriated Ace steals the proceedings, much to Gene's very obvious displeasure. *

I watched Attack of the Phantoms on TV during their craze. I was young enough to sort of appreciate the superhero powers of the Kiss members. I'd take a guess only kids would have appreciated it a little bit. There was a lot of silly television on at the time. Watch an ep of Six Million Dollar Man or Wonder Woman, it's hard to believe adults watched some of this stuff. Not that there weren't some good Bionic Man eps, but I watched a little as an adult, and it's surprising.
