Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
basil alfouzan it's the best show i've seen in years, i loved it and hoping that they will release more seasons soon :) when i first saw it i thought it would be for kids but it appeared to be for adults with imagination. in the show there is a great accents mix between the British and the American accent. every episode is different "mostly" with different violents and different story. the writer is really good and he knows what he is writing. the director is really good and the lights and sounds are well chosen. so excited to see the next seasons and this show will be the only reason for me to bring a cable for the NBC channel. i wish for the cast all luck with the next season and keep the good work up.
yiNXs A show about a well trained, but ordinary man who get's an extraordinary cape, which turns him into a superhero. So, that said, I want to add that while watching this, you might want to take it easy with your suspension of disbelief. Expect a super hero series and don't expect it to obey all the laws of physics all the time. If you can do that, this show is definitely fun to watch.The first few episodes might not be all to convincing though. They were good enough for me to keep following the series, but they weren't great. The show didn't seem to have any direction at first, the overall plot was clear, but not much was done with it. It seemed to struggle between being a modular show, or being a true serial and the story turned in to some awkward mix. I figured it wouldn't last beyond the first season and considering all the things I read about it, I wasn't the only one with that opinion.Perhaps all that early negative feedback was what this show needed, because the last few episodes have clearly gotten better. It still doesn't seem to be sure what it is, but that's alright now because they've seemed to make it work. I'm actually looking forward to new episodes now.8/10 + 1 because I have faith this will keep getting better.
robnels2000 I have read all the comments on this show and agree with most of the bad ones.When I saw the previews I was hopeful for a new super hero TV show, Smallville has long past its prime, the last good attempt was with Birds of Prey back in 2002 but it to fell short. Unfortunately what we got was pure bad news, when I watched the pilot all I could think was this was another Flash or Robocop from the 90s' but those shows where nowhere near this bad.I watched the next 3 episodes thinking if they noticed how bad it is they might try to save it and turn it around, they haven't.The problem is how far in to the unbelievable the show gets, I am able to suspend disbelief and imagine some of this may be possible under the right circumstances (in a parallel universe) but that can only go so far, this show is impossible to believe or to wrap my brain around.This is nothing more than a cheap way to fill the time slot that competes with a truly good show called Two and a half men. But what will they do next fall? I know for sure this piece of junk will NOT be back.
Green_Saturn First of all, to all the people who have made snarky remarks about how lame the idea of a magic cape sounds- IT'S NOT MAGIC! If you take the time to actually WATCH the show you'll see that the character learns to use the cape as a weapon. He's called The Cape. If it was a magic cape he'd be The Magic Cape. Criticize the rest of the show all you want, but please stop complaining about the magic cape when it isn't magic. You could even say that the idea of a guy using a cape as a weapon is dumb- just DON'T call it MAGIC! It's not magic!Anyway, this is truly a remarkable show. Only two episodes have aired so far, so the acting is still finding its footing, but from what I've seen this is definitely a show worth sticking with. The character Vince Faraday is entertaining. His back story is cool. The origin of The Cape character is creative. David Lyons is an excellent choice to play the character and everything works in harmony with him on this show.The soundtrack is one of my favorite parts of this show. I'm really glad they decided to write their own scores for this- it makes the show feel as full as a full-length film. I can see an award for best original score coming sometime in thus show's future.I'm going to stick with this show for as long as it runs- and I'm betting it's going to run for quite a while. Amidst endless crime shows and dreary medical shows, The Cape is one of those rare diamonds you find in the dust. Please, NBC, do yourselves a favor and keep this show for as long as you can!
