Steineded How sad is this?

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

lelamarie I was a fan of the original show in reruns and let me say I Loved this reboot! This follows the next generation of schemers while at the same time bringing in members of the original cast. Patrick, Suellen and of course JR Ewing! The addition of Judith Light to the cast was brilliant!Manipulation, power, sex, action! Great nod to long time fans with enough camp and hot cast to bring in younger viewers.Larry Hagman passed away during the series and the on screen tribute will make longtime viewers cry! If you haven't seen it add it to your watchlist ASAP! It was cancelled too soon and I'm still bitter!!!

pawebster Who'd have thought it? It looked doomed to disaster, but in fact it's great. It has exactly the same crazed atmosphere and bizarre plot twists as the original series. I never thought they'd crack it. There's lots to love: Linda Gray seems to have metamorphosed into an anorexic animatronic puppet, with the skin precariously stretched over her face bones. You feel she might shatter at any moment - but she is still strangely attractive and fascinating to watch. She can still pack a punch as Sue Ellen. Admittedly in season two she undergoes a complete mentality switch in no time flat, but, hey, it's Dallas. Bobby and J R are still very good (though J R's just died here in the UK run). Perhaps more importantly the two cousins are very good actors. Josh Henderson is great as John Ross. The make-up and hair department have let him down a little by overdoing the sleazy look - who'd buy a gallon of anything from this man? Jesse Metcalfe is the perfect counterfoil. He has a more difficult part to play as the goodie, since in drama is notoriously harder to make a goodie interesting. The young women are only so-so. Elena is just a younger and less interesting skeleton than Sue Ellen and Pam just pouts most of the time. Neither of them can hold a candle to Victoria Principal in her prime, or to Linda Gray. However, Brenda Strong is excellent and has the best acting ability on the set, at least among the women.Don't cancel it, TNT. We want to see it here in the UK, despite the ridiculous time slot Channel 5 has given it.

desgrant22 I treated myself to the original Dallas box-set last Christmas as they were a steal at around €100 for the whole series on single sided disks. I remember them from the very start and were compelling viewing every week. After 35 years they are still fun to watch again. What made the original so good is that is was very sharply written, was full of black humour, marvellous character actors who played bankers, oil men, politicians and even J.Rs shady private detectives. I could go on and on. (Pity about the showing of previews before the episodes begin. This sorta ruined it for me and would have been better if they had shown last on Dallas and not next on Dallas)Any let's get to the New Dallas:I am joining the one star merchants on this as this New Dallas is really scraping the bottom of the oil barrel on ideas and can only be described as appalling. It was shameful to watch J.R. as a feeble old man along with the other original cast members bickering and fighting like a bunch of stupid kids. Not even J.R (R.I.P) can salvage this debacle. I'm not going to go over the ground of the other wiser and older one star merchants. This series has woeful actors and acting. The muzak is ear shattering and it is going nowhere very fast. Young over made up and useless actress combined with useless, witless, charmless male actors and all wishing they were doing something else. As I write this, the last appearance of Larry Hagman was just shown and as bad as season one was, this season is ten times worse. I was very surprised when the commissioned a second series and actually tortured us with an additional five episodes. If this goes to a third season I will start eating body parts.You know the old sayings, Let sleeping dogs lie, if it ain't broke.

jas_webb beautiful cast.. dastardly schemes.. family feuds.. and sub plots galore throw in a few familiar faces.. a pout from sue ellen and a few heart stopping glares from JR. mix it all up with lashings of crude oil and some slightly questionable acting and what do you get? DALLAS that's what! I wanted to hate it but I cannot lie its just great TV. Im already hooked, i was from the first episode. and that theme tune. boy oh boy it brings back memories, who shot JR, bobby in the shower.. dusty.. and poor old cliff barnes.. will he ever get one up on JR? tune in next week to find out ;-) If you enjoyed the original then do give the new one a chance, you wont be disappointed.welcome back. fab stuff ;-)
