Bereamic Awesome Movie

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Roonmeister Having read the comments on here to see if this show was worth watching i very nearly deleted it without even giving it a chance. You would think that the academics with a professional interest who have slated the show from the very first episode would welcome the exposure and interest in their field. What would they prefer 6 hours watching someone unearth a broken pot with a paintbrush? If you like ancient mysteries and alternative history theories and don't mind if the truth is embellished and exaggerated to help the story along then you will enjoy this. I have watched all 6 episodes in about 1 week which tells me i must have enjoyed it. Well done to the Beeb for doing something away from mainstream drivel. It will be a shame if there's no second series as i am looking forward to it already and with a bit more thought this could go from OK to very good there's certainly the scope.

DWaterson Bonekickers is easily the worst BBC programme of 2008. That much is obvious: absurd, illogical, incomprehensible story lines; huge plot-holes and plot twists that make no sense; awful, cringe-worthy dialogue; downright wrong archaeology.Yet, somehow I am compelled to watch it, week after week. Like a drug, it keeps me coming back for another hit, despite knowing how harmful it is to my braincells.Quite simply, Bonekickers is the most hilarious show in ages. Utterly, insanely preposterous, once you stop taking it seriously it's incredibly funny. Treat each dreadful line of dialogue and each implausible coincidence as a joke -- or better still, a drinking game -- and you'll soon realise how fun this show can be.

freemantle_uk Bonekickers is a poor man's Indiana Jones, but with less action and a lot less believable (and that's saying something if you seen Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls). The programme is about the fictional University of Bath archaeology department (the department not the university), and somehow this team find amazing discoveries and come across major conspiracies. The problems with the show are numerous. Firstly the programme takes itself too seriously and make out that it is a gripping thriller: it's not. The show is not well written, full of plot holes, bad dialogue and stereotypes. Whilst the West Country does have a rich history involving things from Stonehedge, King Alfred, the Rome Baths and the English Civil War, it is unbelievable that its involved with American conspiracy and having items like the true cross. What surprises me about the show is that Adrian Lester is in it, and he is a very good actor. He has been in Primary Colors, the Day After Tomorrow and Hustle. Some people have criticised the acting in the programme: I personally think that it is okay, nothing special. The show is not the worst one ever made, but there is a lot better around. The only good think about the show is it is made in the West Country which is under-representated in television, but it needed a stronger vehicle.

weegie1984 There are too many uptight and unhappy people watching British TV these days! Previous comments from people complain about historical inaccuracies, poor acting and some people had the nerve to use their personal ideologies to slate this show. Firstly, I want to address the acting, anyone who complains about the acting really needs to think about what they are saying, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if these people who were complaining were actually Eastenders or Hollyoaks fans, shows which are famous for their Oscar worthy performances, I've seen better acting at a fitba match than those two shows! The acting is neither up nor down in Bonekickers, there is no obvious discrepancies in the acting, nor is there anything to get too excited about! The plot is interesting, the story, however, is not told well. CGI is not exactly blockbuster material, but then the show itself does not require it to be so, I mean why would we need state of the art CGI on an archaeological/dramatic TV show? Do we want the dirty items uncovered to look spectacular, or realistic? Historical inaccuracies are not a major issue when you consider that the show is not meant to be taken seriously. If you are wanting solid archaeological and historical fact then watch Time Team, don't complain about the fact the show is not Time Team! The show is meant to be fun, and interesting, comical and dramatic, did it deliver? Yes it did, I watched it from start to finish, and was not disappointed, nor was I excited. It was a darn site better than watching some of the drivel that is on TV just now!
