Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

vesy90 This is for the first two seasons. I haven't watched the other two. I felt the need to stop. Not that I didn't like it. It's suspenseful and interesting, it's very intense, but....there is something lacking. It's like there's a lot of glitter, but not enough beneath it. I don't know, maybe I just didn't pick the right moment. Maybe if I had seen it earlier or later, it would have been different. I'm afraid that none of the characters managed to really draw me in and make me care. Well, I did develop a soft spot for Hiro. He's a cutie. But even he couldn't make me want to go on. There is something off. I can't put my finger on it, but...Well, still, I appreciate the fact that the writers wanted to create a powerful, complex, entertaining story. In a way it is. Which is why I'm giving it 7. But it's just not my kind of story. I may go back to it at some point.

liz_reilly Honestly the only thing that wasn't so good about this show apart from a lack of comic relief when Hiro and Ando weren't around, was that there wasn't a defined story arc or villain for each season, and that made each season less conclusive and would have caused a lot of people to lose interest despite liking the characters and the narrative. You just lose a bit of investment when you don't have closure at the right times. In this way season 4 is actually the best season next to season 1 because it has an interesting villain that comes in at the start of the season and remains to the end of the season. AND we empathise with Samuel while still wanting him to be stopped. It was also kind of sad when interesting characters weren't around for very long, but didn't actually die. It was similar to Buffy in giving these kind of epic, unexpected deaths, like Issac, and that kleptomaniac chick in season 1 who I forgot the name of. And then the really drawn out, confusing-in-a-good-way death of Nathan. But then there were all these characters who left without dying, or with any closure really. And that kind of thing just makes you automatically think 'are they gonna show up again?', 'what's the deal with that dude?' A lot of other shows do that in a much worse way though- at least in Heroes, it actually made sense and the narrative was interesting enough that it was easy to move on from those other characters.

Vadim V All at least once in his life dreamed of having superpowers. Invisibility, teleportation, time management, the ability to fly, invulnerability, reading other people's thoughts. The list is endless. The series Heroes tells about ordinary people who have received this gift. But how do they use it? Someone began to use his powers to get rich, others for help and rescue the common people, and someone was not pleased with this gift and tried to live a simple life. Great idea. Excellent work of actors that makes you sympathize with all my heart and experience what is happening on the screen. The non-linear plot. All this makes the Heroes TV series about the best hit. It is unfortunate that there is no worthy finale. It was really hurt when the project is closed.

Martin Markov Heroes really is one of those "once-a-generation" genre shows that initially had everything going for it, great cast, great writing, great performances across the board. The only weak link were the very sparse and brief action beats that always felt anti-climactic, but those were forgivable because everything else was so well done, from the set design, through the cinematography, to the eargasm- inducing soundtrack that felt truly unlike any other. So what happened?To answer that question let me break down the show by season stating, of course, at the beginning with:Season 1: This is a great season, one of the best season of sci-fi television, period. If Heroes had just this season as its run, the show most likely would've been remembered the same way as Firefly, as a One-Season-Wonder that wascancelled way too soon. Everything about this season just clicked, the individual character and story arcs were all engaging and they all tied together in a three-part season finale in a way I would've thought impossible. It had one of the best main and supporting casts in television history, each and every one interesting and likable if not relatable. The sheer amount of writing skill needed to pull this off could've only been matched by an HBO/AMC show on the same caliber as The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, etc. and this show, on NBC, pulled it off. The first season was truly excellent and expectations were high for the inevitable second season. Were those expectations met?Season 2: Short answer: No, Long Answer: It was good but not great by a long shot. Most of season 2's failings can be summed up with the phrase "all setup, no payoff". This season attempted the same kind of multiple intertwining character and story arcs that all build up to a finale that tied them all together but the 2006-2007 WGA strike more or less cut the season in half which in turn rendered half-the subplots irrelevant and left most of the audience feeling like they didn't need to watch half the scenes in every episode, things weren't made any better by writer/co-showrunner Bryan Fuller's departure. His influence is at least 33% the reason the first season was so amazingly written, his replacement at creator Tim Kring's side as co-showrunner was Jeph Loeb who unfortunately was stuck in the comicbook writer's mindset and ended up writing situations that could never be filmed on a network TV budget resulting in a very abridged feel to the action and a very restrained feel to the show in general. Things were made even worse for the writing team when the order came from the network to bring back as many of the original cast members as possible regardless of whether or not the writers could give them anything to do or whether they could keep said characters from becoming overpowered (and they did, resulting in a lot of stupid decisions to justify the characters not ending the threat too soon). This combination of factors made it virtually impossible for the season to be anywhere near as great as the first one but that's not to say the season is bad, it's not. Even though the payoff is shallow and anti-climactic (for the subplots that do get paid off) the buildup is good for what it is, not quite season 1 great or engaging but it's engaging for the most part. The reason why this season is considered by many to be straight up bad is because of what follows.Season 3: It's bad, it is really bad, well the first half's bad anyway and the second half is just boooooooring. Why? Because it pretty much takes everything that season 2 set up and just throws it in the garbage can. Every single new character introduced in season 2 is either unceremoniously killed or written off the show rendering all of their screen time in that season completely pointless. But it isn't just the wasted potential that makes this season a fail, its that the storyline they did have this season was just ill conceived and handicapped by a shrinking budget and scheduling conflicts with several cast members. And even without these handicaps the overall quality of writing completely lapsed this season. Characters acted like idiots, the villain was so ridiculously overpowered that its defeat was just pathetic. The second half is an improvement over the first but it isn't good. Its relentlessly boring, handicapped again by its budget, almost to the point where Smallville was a better execution of its premise than Heroes. The only thing that makes the second half tolerable is Bryan Fuller undoing some of the mistakes made by Loeb but ultimately his mark on the season wasn't enough to make it good. The ratings for the show plummeted like a stone during this season and unfortunately those lost viewers wouldn't come back next season despite it being better than the last two combined.Season 4: It's better than the last two seasons but still nowhere near as great as the first one, again the budget and the writing staff still being shackled to the season 1 cast didn't help matters but on balance the season did a much better job of giving the season 1 characters something to do and minimized the screen time of those that they couldn't do anything with (namely Tracy, Matt and Suresh). The main villain was a great foil to Peter (arguably THE main character of the series) and the overall premise was better executed than that of the last season. Unfortunately the season feels rather diluted as the pacing was too slow and the truly great moments of drama or action were too sparse and too short. The season was worthwhile in the end, the character and story arcs were better executed and tied together, the villain was stronger the new cast members were interesting.Overall I'm recommending at least the first season. 7/10.
