Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
kamprotte Love the books. Sadly series has almost nothing to do with those.Main characters are completely different personality-wise and physically; the mini-plots are uninteresting, and without any of the details, respect for fantasy genre, imagination, and brilliant dry humor that makes Dresden Files so enjoyable. In fact, very similar to how "hitchhikers guide " completely missed the tone and style of the books, and butchered them horribly.For anyone liking the books, would recommend avoiding the series completely. For someone not having read the books, would recommend reading the books, and avoiding the series completely.
msgold I just watched the whole series on Netflix and was disappointed to see it was canceled. Clearly the network didn't realize it had a good thing going. Awesome stories, good suspense, good mix of magic and reality. Good acting. All in all a fun show to look forward to. If you are that niche of viewers who likes a mix of the film noir, a little bit of horror, with a load of fantasy and humor, then you will want to watch this show. Story lines are a clever, the dark forces are creatively thought out. And the way they are battled are also full of surprises. I'm constantly looking for good Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and its not always easy to find, because by good, it needs not only the components of magic, but a little world history and research, great character development, and compelling character interaction. Also the Dresden files had the action, sexual tension, and suspense that makes the show having you come back for more.
bigkooz3 I've read a couple of Butcher's books. I've watched the series. I thought that the series wasn't that bad - and it took on a life of it's own. I've read comments from other reviews saying that the acting "was cookie cutter" - but I challenge you to look at the acting of a pilot in ANY series (sitcom, drama, etc)- and then review it a few years down the road... You will find that the cast of any series will be better after working around each other for a period of time - and this would've been no different (had it be given the opportunity). IN MY OPINION: ANY Dresden is better than NO Dresden. It's sad to see this series go away before given the chance to take off. I never even knew this series was around - and I watch the SyFy channel all the time. It's disappointing that they didn't advertise more.
zannatlaws I have only just discovered The Dresden Files - I had never heard of it before. Very entertaining, cleverly written and CANCELLED. I also don't understand why networks constantly air these types of show with the episodes missing or out of order. It is almost as if they are determined that they should be cancelled. What is worse - the episodes on DVD are also out of order. This was done with American Gothic too - it made nonsense of the whole thing. I was one of many petitioners who waited 10 years for it to be released on DVD only to find it was a total mess!I agree with many of the other reviewers that whenever a series comes out that is remotely intelligent it gets taken off the air. Bring back the aforementioned American Gothic and FIREFLY and all the other really good, short lived sci-fi series. There is too much dumbing-down going on. Start catering for those with more than half a brain cell and a desire for a good yarn - PLEASE!!
