    Supelice Dreadfully Boring
    Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
    ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
    Nicole 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.
    Robert Henry Lee This show is fantastic. Show what would happen if everyday folk got powers. I like how it you can watch an episode without getting to entangled in the entire overall story. The powers they have and the enemies they come across are very well devised. Dairy boy is one of my faves. However in much agreement with many other reviewers the first 2 seasons are amazing the 3rd season struggled and just don't bother after that
    Trupiaar I laughed to see the word 'fresh in the top review because I was just about to write it. The writers for this show are terrific and give the characters' backgrounds a very authentic feeling. The mains do a great job filling out their roles. The stories are funny and non-cliched one after the other.10 out of 10 stars for doing a great job with a basic budget.
    elipreciado I originally rated this a 10, until I got to season 4- then I had to change it to 7/10. I was so impressed on how unique this show was, and some episodes were so funny! Around season 4 everything changes. The characters were all different, and it wasn't really unique anymore. It seemed as though the writers were out of good ideas and desperate or something, like they tried to hard:/ I watched all seasons hoping that things would turn around, but I was sadly mistaken:(
    Charles Herold (cherold) In countless superhero stories, some strange phenomenon causes someone to have superpowers, and they use those powers to save or rule the world. Typical was the series Heroes, in which a *lot* of people get superpowers and every one of them winds up being a hero or villain.While this is entertaining, I have always thought that it wasn't very realistic. I mean, if I suddenly gained superhero powers, I wouldn't go out every night listening for screams, nor would I start robbing banks. I would probably just go on with my life, using my powers if I needed them for something but mainly not doing anything different.The creators of Misfits apparently thought the same thing. The show turns that Heroes concept on its head, as a freak storm changes people in weird ways and they then try and live their lives.I discovered this show a couple of weeks ago and am now in the middle of season 2, so I can't speak beyond that point, but so far this is brilliant. While some characters have traditional superpowers involving mind-reading or invisibility, other powers are fairly useless - a narcissistic girl creates sexual obsession when touched - and some non- main characters just get weird, like a guy who periodically thinks he's a dog. The main characters are an interesting lot; sullen young people doing public service for minor crimes. The standout is the obnoxious, funny Nathan, who is weird and rude and unpleasant but manages to hint at an underlying fragility that keeps you from hating him. But even minor characters are solid, well-acted, and fully formed.The series is an engaging mix of humor, superpowers, growing up, drugs and sex, action, and drama. While its take on gaining superpowers seems truer than that of Heroes, it is not any less ridiculous, and I wouldn't say it was better than Heroes' first terrific season, but it's different and refreshing and well worth seeing.Also, as a middle-aged guy who often finds series about young people grating, it's proof that the real problem is most U.S. series about young people are just truly awful. This one has relatable characters and terrific music.
