Heroes - Season 2 - Complete [2007]

starring: Hayden Panettiere, Leonard Roberts, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka, Ali Larter
directed by: Adam Kane, Greg Beeman, Donna Deitch, Allan Arkush

I never really got into the first season much although I did watch it. I thought it was medeocre all the way until the final 3 or 4 episodes and then I felt myself finally getting sucked in. Unfortuneatly, the second season is worse and it seems to be struggling for ideas.

What fans of Heroe's continually say, is that they prefer it's fast moving plot to that of the slower lost series. However, because Hereo's story develops so fast it seems to run out of suspense half way through the series. In this seconmd series, the story just doesnt get going at all. The main villian is season 2 doesnt seem menacing at all. Its not that it's boring, but its not exactly must-watch TV either.

Once again, I watched the full season ... Read More:

Heroes - Season 1 Complete [2006]

starring: Milo Ventimiglia, Adrian Pasdar, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Masi Oka

I'm a fan of series like heroes (i enjoyed Smallville, Stargate etc) Although it was slow to start I felt it became better and better each week. The story helped to build the character's backgrounds, all of which were intriguing apart from the blonde woman with two personalities.

I feel my only problem with this series was it was building to something epic, and in the end it ended quite quickly.

Still a great series but it could have ended so much better. I feel the future series will only be better.

Heroes - Seasons 1-2 - Complete [2006]

starring: Hayden Panettiere, Greg Grunberg, Malcolm McDowell, Masi Oka, Ali Larter
directed by: Adam Kane, Greg Beeman, Donna Deitch

I admit first hearing about this i remember thinking that it was an X-Men Rip-off.

I'm So Glad that i finally realised that this isn't anything like X-Men.
First off - No Silly & Easily Noticable Costumes (with a huge H or the Helix Sign splattered on them) so they are ordinary people with extraordinary gifts.
Also Quite Possibly it has a Villain scarier than Darth Vader: Sylar.
the Villain remains as a thorn in the Heroes' Side throughout the First and Second Seasons and then takes his place as the lead Villian in Season 3.

I Must Say in closing that put these story's down into several 2-3 Hour Movies and these will be better than the three X-Men Films put together.

I'd Reccomend this for anyone who ... Read More:

Along Came Polly [2004]

starring: Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Debra Messing, Alec Baldwin
directed by: John Hamburg

Completely dissapointed with this film.
The characters were unexciting and unbelievable.
Apparently it was was meant to be funny, well it wasn't.
I wouldn't waste my time watching it to be honest.

Heroes - Series 1-2 - Complete [Blu-ray] [2006]

I love Heroes and having recently got a Blu Ray player, waited patiently for this to come out.

Ther series itself is fantastic. Some people didn't like Season 2. I agree it wasn't as good as Season 1 but I enjoyed it nonetheless. At least it tried to be different and some cool new characters were introduced.

Picture quality is good but not fantastic. There is an immense amount of detail but sometimes there is too much. I was particularly distracted by the Scenes with Niki as you can clearly see her make up.
Sound is average (poor for DTS HD). All dialogue comes from the centre speaker and although other sounds use all speakers as required, I was just as happy listening in Stereo.

Extras are patchy for Season 1. There ... Read More:

The programme material is fine... my issue is with the packaging. There are 4 episodes each on discs 1 & 2, 2 episodes on disc 3, and 1 episode on disc 4..!
Plenty of room to spread the 11 episodes across 3 discs - at a cheaper price.

Heroes: Season 1 - Part 1 [2006]

starring: Sendhil Ramamurthy, Masi Oka, Hayden Panettiere, James Kyson Lee, Jack Coleman
directed by: Allan Arkush, David Semel, Donna Deitch, Ernest R. Dickerson, Greg Beeman

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Part 1 of this series. The story is well written with plenty of questions being thrown up. It is very much a mystery and my curiosity led me to carry on watching this way past my bedtime.

I too have found their decision to split the series into two parts for European release a disappointment. Series 1 is now available as a single box set but the pricing is extortionate compared to what USA viewers pay.

I'll be watching Part 2 next and hope it maintains the high standard set by Part 1. I'm certainly eager to find out what happens next.

Get Smart [2008]

starring: Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp, Dwayne Johnson
directed by: Peter Segal

Get Smart is good fun. It never takes itself too seriously and has a good mix of action and comedy. There are some great setpieces, a few fantastic lines and the cast is very impressive. There's also a great bit during a symphony concert that had me in fits of laughter.

Great light entertainment.

Heroes is a show you either hate or love!

It took me several months and a few viewings of episodes to actually get and enjoy! I actually thought it quite a big rip off compared to X-Men and just thought it was another Mutant X (sorry i thought it was crap)!

Its an amazing journey and its nice to see less stand alone episodes of the older style television series of least recent times!

By the end of season 1 you SHOULD have enjoyed the development of the story, charectors and their powers! Like so many superheroes and their powers, they develop and theirs are no exception!

If I was to compare this show to any other or movie, I would say that it takes Unbreakable, multiplies the (im learning im special) superheroes and leaves the tragedy and ... Read More:
