Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Robert Joyner 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

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

gladfan3-1 Well how good was this show, based on a comic book this is true to its origins with corny gags and over the top acting. The actors do this complete justice and throw in a cameo from Kevin Sorbo of Andromeda/Hercules fame and you have a show in a million. Why would the studio cancel this show which has already reached a IMDb score of over 8 over some of the other drivel they renew. Midleman or Gossip Girl mmmmm cancel gossip girl and pass the money over folks. such a shame.. With great gadgets and a computer that you would want to beat with a baseball bat every episode, this just makes for great television for all the family. Mark Dacascos does the best and funniest sensai that i have seen on TV for a while, he is a great martial artist he can also bring some comedy to the role. Bring this back, join the fight to bring this back search for petitions to bring this back.

thecrysalid Well what can I say about this show? one word, awful. This type of show seems to be a staple for ABC family with shows such as Kyle XY etc., The dialogue loosely described as banter between the cast is set at mind boggling speed and must have taken quite a few takes to get right, but this may have been the makers idea of tongue in cheek humour. using men in gorilla suits mixed in with real silver backs is just one example of terrible continuity and belief in the show. What I thought I was about to see was a combination of MiB and Heroes, what I saw was a rip off of 60's avengers sequences, a very poor situation comedy, 2 main characters with no chemistry, unbelievable plot lines, terribly acted from all. I get it that this is ABC family, but who was their target audience? The dialogue is way too fast and difficult for kids and way too childish and unbelievable for adults. Will be very surprised if this makes it past the 13 episode period. Sorry ABC, but D- could and should have done so much better, can I have my 40 minutes back please?

Thomas Clement (Mr. OpEd) There were a few things to like about the premier episode: music, photography, effects (that cheesy monster at the beginning). And I chuckled several times. I might have even laughed out loud, but I was never given time.While the show nods at several sources, its roots stretch most obviously back to TV's Batman and Howard Hawks' screwball comedies. However, in both of those classic examples, the creators didn't try to quench the viewer's thirst with a firehose.Middleman's script can be a problem. For example: the exchanges between Wendy Watson and her guitar playing roommate take too long to gel, happen too often, and never have a satisfying payoff (no laughs). The philosophy is: "If you didn't like that joke, there will be another one in a nanosecond; and if you DID like that joke, there will still be another one along in a nanosecond stepping on the toes of the one you did just like. The show's pacing needs some breathing room.And how about a little consistency? The Middleman is a knockoff of Rustler's Rhapsody's Rex O'Herlihan and Adam West's Batman, right down to the non-swearing and milk drinking. Yet, in this very first episode he does swear. He also threatens his employee-to-be with death and beats a thug relentlessly against a car fender. These events don't fit! The Middleman won't be on my "must see" list.

jimmiehack I just got through watching the pilot for this show and all it did was confuse me. The pace of the delivery of the lines was hard to get used to and I suspect it's not very appealing to most people. It's also very confusing why this is on the ABC Family Channel. There were at least three times I remember the main character Wendy telling someone to "go to hell". There are a lot of references to outdated things such as Patsy Cline and the Carter administration that most children won't relate to. There are plenty of things that adults will relate to like a reference to the line from "Planet of the Apes"..."Get your filthy paws off of me you damn dirty ape".There is a short visit to a strip club (nothing is shown). There is a short dialogue where both main characters exchange playful curse words that get bleeped out with a censor box placed over their mouths. In the first ten minutes of this episode the words "homosexual" and "lesbian" are used casually and later on Wendy calls two men "hormone jockeys". There are some funny references especially with a musician that hangs out in Wendy's hallway, but for the most part this is just hard to follow. Don't waste your time watching this. They've only made three episodes and I doubt they'll make more anyway.ABC Family Channel has a new tag line "A New Kind of Family". If this is what they think we want as family television programming, they are sadly confused. This show belongs on a different channel, but it won't last anyway so it's not worth complaining about.
