Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
del996 They may have a few points in there but it's packaged inside hours of dross, with absolutely no common sense applied in any of the episodes I've watched so far. His 'investigator' June is a well known TV host from England with, I suspect, no actual knowledge or experience in the field of investigation. Ventura himself just seems like a knuckle head who'll believe anything told to him so long as it's by some 'informer/insider' with zero credibility. The whole show is melodramatic, over the top rubbish that'll feed the already fruit loop conspiracy theorists out there while leaving the more sane ones among us scratching our heads as to how this lasted for three series.
evilwillhunting-633-904681 Oh boy.Watch a few of Jesse Ventura's debates, and you'll see that he has a hard time dealing with anyone challenging his facts, and he often will tell you you're wrong, pretty much because he said so.The apple doesn't fall far from the tree here. It IS entertaining and slickly made, but it's about as fictional and one-sided as it gets. You're basically listening to Jesse give his many paranoid (and poorly researched) crackpot theories an hour of unopposed banter.Jesse has also flip flopped on if this show is a "documentary" or "entertainment" (basically depending on how much shaky ground he's on when asked). The "experts" are highly suspect, and it gives "eyewitness" accounts a baffling 100% credibility rate.What makes the show hard to swallow is the OVERWHELMING narcissism of The Governor. He basically couches himself as the head of The Mission Impossible Team, as well as its loose cannon and muscle (Jesse, you're still a huge guy but the tough guy act doesn't work like it did before you were pushing 60). In fact, the whole "crack team" seem to be random goofs with no credentials whatsoever.And THAT is probably the most fictional part of all.
jandeenphoto Too many facts are in place with years of investigations that should not be ignored. If you think you are still living in America, perhaps staying asleep would be a proper activity. I admire Mr. Ventura for his courage in attempting to open the closed doors of this dark period of American History. I believe that there is more information available with more research that would make the cases more intelligent and credible, but naming sources unfortunately makes a network liable. The very simple fact is that information would be open to media scrutiny if there were not criminal and dangerous activities being addressed. It is difficult to swallow sensationalism, but I for one no longer find it easy to sleep at night or accept that half of my life savings disappeared into the coffers of unspecified institutions when in a Casino I could at least have enjoyed a drink on the house.
chucknorrisfacts I'm a little concerned that a channel that calls itself TruTV seems to play nothing but fake reality television, and that's what I'd classify "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura" as.I think a lot of the show is staged, from the "war room" Ventura and his crew meet in, to the bunker he films his promos in, etc. It's all intended to create a certain secret "feel" for the show.The most ridiculous part of every episode is the supposed "confrontations" that take place. There's no way in hell Ventura is really confronting the people responsible for the conspiracies they're covering on the show. One tip off is how the cameras always seem to be in the right place, even if it's in a room Ventura supposedly hasn't been in before so they can catch him entering in dramatic fashion. Has nobody noticed this before? One thing in particular that bugs me is how Ventura claims to be a former Navy SEAL, and/or allows people to think he is, despite the fact that in reality he was part of an underwater diving team that would later merge with the Navy SEALS some eight years after Ventura had already left the military…how in the hell does that make him a Navy SEAL? The show is good for a laugh, and maybe even the tiniest sliver of factual information, but other than that it's pretty much a joke as far as I'm concerned. If you're really seeking knowledge, this isn't the place to gain it. I wouldn't recommend the show to anyone looking for any sort of serious program.
