GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
grakky ...there was less teen in-fighting and less humans endlessly tracking the evil mutants to their lair scenarios and m o r e mutant ability action. I feel like I am stuck on the beach in Lost all over again for the first 100 seasons...moooooove it along people
gp-20141 I do not know how I should feel about this. I guess, I´ve seen worse und worst und this is not so bad. I decided to watch it on a hunch and I do not regret having done so, but there are some things going wrong here. The teenie storylines of Andy and Lauren, yeah, I get those, they are just teens, some things I just overlook, when it comes to them, but not the parents. I´ve watched, what now, three episodes and I am not satisfied with what I am watching. The father is just not credible, 20 years a prosecutor and he changes to a totally-ok-with-this gullible fugitive over night, just because he loves his family, so a change like that should just be- -what? obvious? It is not, not after 20 years of ruthless prosecution! And the mother? I don´t know who wrote her, but her actions and reactions are often horrifically moronic and annoying. Whoever wrote her part, did not do the show a favor. Other than that, the acting is mostly decent and the mutant abilities and cgi do not overwhelm. It is interesting to see the mutants generally interact, not just in action scenes, I do like that, even though some lines are cheesy. Someone who has been hunted and discriminated all his life, will not just say "yeah, I´ve done some stupid things out of love too" after yet another incredibly moronic move Caitlin pulled in the third episode jeopardizing the whole underground hq. A grown up woman sleeps with a kitchen knife on a sofa but is still in doubt when she has to haul @ss and get the f... away from her brother´s house? Instead she decides to stay over the night and still has not made up her mind to just get her kids and run when two leaders of the underground operation show up telling her "if we can find you, so can others"? Who wrote this episode? Can someone tell me who wrote this plainly horrifically moronic character? He should be sued because he is ruining every shred of credibility the show has. Dramatic build-up and inner conflicts and loyalties and taking risks because of them, yes that I get, but not when it goes overboard on blatant stupidity. I would have given the show more than six stars, but moron Caitlin just ruins it sometimes and that is poison for an action / sci fi / fantasy series.
rockafella-7 Good to watch a marvel series where they mention the X-men. The fight between men and mutants continues. Good first series looking forward to the next
cluwood It is stated nearly every episode that all of the most powerful Mutants are gone, missing or left (to some place no one talks about). So the ones that are still around, if they feel the need, could rob a gas station, rearrange your bedroom furniture or be really good at sports. I get it, there are bad people in the world. But when you write a story based on extremes (mutants will destroy the world) and don't produce a single mutant that can do anything a non-mutant with explosives and a grudge can. Then your idea of world wide hatred toward a group of "neat ability" having people falls apart.I can not suspend my disbelief when the notion that someone with butterfly wings or can project images is a national threat to security simply because they're not normal. "Hey mom i can change shape." says boy. Mom says, "Well i guess i have to send you to federal prison then." INSANITY.....
