Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
harold-hundley I watch TV a lot and I do not write comments but I thought this show was pretty good. Think people need to get over trying to judge something based off the past. Everything has its moments and I think the presentation and casting was not bad. It did not look cheap so that also made me continue to watch. There are a lot of shows that shouldn't be on TV but they are. Also there are a lot of shows that are good. If they are still using the same rating system, they are dumb. I move around a lot and never lived in a place where my TV was monitored for ratings. I think if the cable companies monitored watch I was watching I wouldn't mind. because they going to have use watch commercials anyway. I cant even watch on demand with out not having the option to fast forward anymore. Yes I know what off topic but some people feel that this would be one of the reasons they don't monitor everyone TVs without permission.
Tweekums I wasn't expecting too much of this as I'd read negative comments but watched it out of curiosity. I didn't think it was great but neither did I think it was as bad as I'd been led to believe.In the first episode Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan) is involve in a car crash and (not much of a spoiler here) and wakes up to find that she has been saved by the addition or a pair of bionic legs, and one bionic arm, eye and ear. She is then told that the agency that fixed her now expects her to work for them. At first she isn't too keen but unsurprisingly she is soon working for them being sent on a different mission each week. In some ways it reminded me of "Alias" but instead of not being able to tell her friends what she was really doing at work it was her younger sister who she was raising.While I thought the acting was pretty good I thought the special effects were somewhat ropey; in one episode she was meant to be jumping onto the roof of a building and it looked as if the effect was out of something made decades ago.I still enjoyed it enough to watch every episode and was left wanting to see more, just a shame it doesn't seem likely that any more will be made. Overall it is worth watching on TV but I wouldn't bother getting the DVD unless it was in the bargain bin.
danny_holloway I don't know what everyone else has been watching because i'm only half way through the series and i'm gripped. It may not be fast paced action packed and full of superstars but it has other qualities. Michelle Ryan is a surprisingly good actress and a very sexy one at that. I must admit it's a little dark and "gothik like" but the story lines of each episode are good enough to keep you intrigued. This along with some fantastic fight scenes makes for great entertainment. All in all, i've found "The Bionic woman" highly enjoyable. Just don't make the mistake of comparing it to the original. It's a totally different ride all together.
mjarvis0 Over the past few months us TV viewers have been given two shows that feature strong female characters. Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Bionic Woman. Now both have the potential to be really something but what lets Bionic Woman down can be summed up with two words Special effects. Ever since the late and much respected Christopher Reeve brought us Superman the general TV watching and theatre going public have been treated to what should be seen when a film is portraying and person with superhuman abilities. The scene when Superman has Lois Lane in one hand and a helicopter in the other is a classic. So us viewers know when we are being fobbed off. This is where Bionic Woman lets itself down. first they give us another bionic woman so when she and our Jaime have a fight there's few special effects and then when Jaime fights an ordinary mortal blows that should knock the mortal out still has them on their feet seemingly giving as good as they get! Whereas with terminator you see in the first instance that super strong androids are fighting. Producers must realise that when you embark on a TV show that features enhanced human beings you cannot skimp on the special effects budget.
