ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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!!!

Shopaholic35 OK so I know when you first watch this you feel like it just doesn't work but I promise you need to stick with it. I had initial doubts after watching the first half of season one and then I'm not sure exactly when it happened but all of a sudden "BAM" I was hooked and this seemingly mediocre show turned into a fantastic show.I've never seen the original Dallas but you'd have to be living under a rock to have not heard about some of the dramas or characters. Well many of the original cast have major roles in this new version of Dallas and they work well with the new generation of Ewings. It feels so seamless and natural the way the new cast blends in with the old. And as you'd expect if you were a fan of the original version there is just as much drama and betrayal as ever.A truly fantastic soap drama that turns out much better than you could have imagined.

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.

phd_travel I was a fan of the original series and was looking forward to the 2012 version but was let down.The new series has a cheapish feel in both photography and direction, sort of like a low budget day time soap.The dialog isn't interesting, witty or amusing. Not much happens each episode with the same 7 people tangling with each other.It's good to see the old timers like a rather sickly looking Larry Hagman, a well preserved Linda Gray and the unnecessarily white haired Patrick Duffy (dye your hair and look much younger!).However the casting of the new generation isn't great. Josh Henderson looks like a farm hand instead of the scion of a wealthy oil family. Jesse Metcalfe is alright but Jordana Brewster is too gaunt and skull like. She isn't alluring enough - remember the A List beauties in the original series like Victoria Principal, Morgan Brittany etc? They need to look at ABC's "Revenge" to see how a soap in 2012 needs to be done!
