Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
BritanniaRules "Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)" is a fine remake of the original late 60's/early 70's supernatural show. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer do very well in their roles of private detectives Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk.The special effects are brilliant. The story lines are original and captivating. This remake is every bit as enjoyable and thrilling as the original series.I believe that the high point of this series is Tom Baker as Prof. Wyvern, who helps Marty Hopkirk adjust to his new situation as a ghost. As always, Tom Baker is an asset to any show. He brings his own particular brand of eccentric humour to all of his comedic roles.If you like supernatural story lines mixed with a hearty dose of humour, you'll love this show.
starblade "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)" (2000) is grossly under rated. Its extremely good TV you can't expect more. It is obvious that any comparisons to the original should not even occur. It is an original use of an old formula and the plot is completely new. I love Vic and Bob in this, it is interesting to see them play parts that do not require frying pans and doves from above. Is there anyone else who could have played Randall and Hopkirk, whilst keeping the same resonances that it does having Vic and Bob playing them? Their chemistry and close relationship is what makes this so good, with the introduction of Emilia Fox to add some extra spark. The special effects are very well done, and where it is lame I cannot help but think that they did it on purpose. They pay homage to so many things it is hard to tell. One thing that I find particularly fun is the fact that Charlie Higson plays someone different in nearly every episode. Its brilliant, you can sit down with a cup of tea and escape. If you are looking for something with good acting, blood and gritty story lines watch something else, there are plenty of things out there like that. "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)" (2000) is unique, which is unusual for a remake.
JohnOD I loved the old Randall and Hopkirk, and while Vic does a pretty good job as cheeky dead Marty, Bob Mortimer simply cannot act, and this gets in the way of the story. The special effects tend to take over a bit, and Charlie Higson's cameo in every episode of the second series is superciliously annoying. In short, it's pretty and unchallenging eye-candy. It'll go down a storm in America, once they dub the voices, of course
roggi I would just like to say that the remake of R&H is just as good as the original, and despite what other people say, Vic and Bob are really good in it, especially as they aren't actually actors. Charlie Higson has done an excellent job, and everyone deserves praise. (Except Emilia Fox, who is too pretty for her own good! - Joke!) Well done to all, and good luck for the next series!I love you all!
