Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I think My Hero is the best comedy I know! My friend and I did interviews on tape and in turn, we played the character or interviewer. I did Tyler and Ella and my friend did George and Janet. Here is a sample: Interviewer: Tyler, do you want to say anything else? Tyler: Beware the pod people. And you're one of them!!!!!!!! Anyway I think everyone on the show is perfect at their character, especially Ardal O'Hanlon! I am so happy that I got to see him live once, and once with his family! It was so weird actually, seeing Ardal and thinking of him as George, than seeing him on My Hero and thinking of him as Ardal! But anyway, I missed the point. So I think it's a cool comedy and could everyone out there give it a chance?

Thermoman, it turns out, is nothing if not adaptable: eschewing the traditional phone booth, he changes into his bright red outfit in the seemingly ever-handy men's room. It's a practical approach when one considers the scarcity, these days, of phone booths. Ardal O'Hanlon (so over-the-top funny in FATHER TED) outs himself in the very first episode to his lovely Earthlady, nurse Janet (who, propped up in bed in one episode, is seen reading MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS). "You've captured my hearts," Thermoman tells her. O'Hanlon is a likable lunkhead whose nose for trouble literally has him globe-trotting at a moment's notice (if that). "The writers do all the work," O'Hanlon says in one interview. (And O'Hanlon, who is himself a writer- KNICK KNACK PADDY WACK, U.K. title THE TALK OF THE TOWN, according to the DVD extras-, should know good writing when he sees it.) Rest assured: the writing is on-the-money funny from episode one. (One of my favorite characters is the older nurse, Mrs. Raven, played by Geraldine McNulty. "That's what life is," she laments: "The odd, brief smile in the midst of prolonged weeping." Amen, sister.)

Despite being a tad amusing at times this show is also absolutely dire. It really doesn't suit being a BBC primetime comedy offering, it's more of a kids TV show and therefore should be in an ideal slot to reflect this. I have watched more than my fair share of episodes and whilst I find myself laughing at parts of the shows I also find myself cringing at others. All the "superhero" stuff is done very badly and some of the acting (if you can call it that) is appalling. I don't think the beeb should pick this up again if there's going to be another series as I just don't feel it's right for a channel that is renowned for it's excellent original comedy programming.

Whether he's an idiot priest or a superhero from another planet that just doesn't get it, Ardal is hillarious.When I first saw this show, I thought it was kind of dumb and cheap, but it soon grew on me. The show is about a Super hero who comes from the planet Ultron. He lives on earth running an herbal medicine shop. He falls in love with the woman he saved, but because she thinks he's daft, he has to prove to her that he's Thermalman and eventually he moves in with her.In the second season they have a child who talks, but since they have to keep everything else a secret, the kid is a bit of a risk.It reminds me of a mix between The Adventures of Lois and Clark and Third Rock from the Sun.I give this show **** out of five.
