Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

kclambeth OK, the premise is not too bad, an alien superhero living on earth and coping with a family and other human beings, but despite this, this show just fell flat on it's face.This is just silly and not in a funny way like Father Ted and The Brittas Empire. The laughter track is irritating, i could never warm to any of the characters and i always feel like i'm watching a pantomime (which is fine if you are at the theatre) The receptionist cracks a few good jokes and Piers has potential but i find George's wife irritating and dull, the American guy pointless, and the other's just boring. Ardal o'hanlon is a great actor and his talents are wasted here. His Irish accent sometimes raises a smile but nothing more.My dad watches this but i have to leave the room when he does because it makes me cringe, you can see the jokes coming a mile off and the babies just scare me! Not cute at all! Overrated, i can't believe it's been going this long.

azcowboysingr This show is one of the funniest I've ever seen, it never fails to make me laugh. I've heard it said that Americans can't understand British humor, but My Hero (along with Benny Hill, Keeping up Appearances, Open all Hours, Are you Being Served, & a couple of others) is one that I never miss. The entire cast gives their best in every episode I've seen. The actor playing "Tyler" drove me crazy trying to figure out where I had seen him before, then it suddenly came to me...he was Capt. Fredrickson in the "Sharpe's" series! the character of "Mrs. Raven" is an absolute delight to watch...reminds me of one of my late aunts. Anyway, if you haven't watched this show, I highly recommend it, just bear in mind that the whole show is a parody of the superhero genre.

anxietyresister I shouldn't be wasting my time writing this, but..Tonight I watched 'My Hero'. I've seen a couple of episodes since the lead role was taken over by James Dreyfus (The gay dude from Gimme Gimme Gimme) but had not felt inclined to comment until today's show. Ardal O'Hanlon, who played the inept superhero for all of 5 series, declined to be involved with this one. I wonder why? Read on, and all will be revealed..The premise for George's new appearance was that he lost big in a poker game and each bit of his anatomy had to be given away to pay his debt. He then got a new body, but kept the same irritating personality. Ta-da, problem solved. I hope the scriptwriters gave themselves one big pat on the back for that incredibly imaginative turn of events there. Unfortunately, there are a few other areas with them that I'd like to take issue with..Simply put, this is a comedy that isn't funny. It has no good jokes, no hilarious slapstick, no appealing characters. It was below par when it started, but at least it could make you smile a bit. Not anymore.. Dreyfus's endless mugging to the camera and outrageously camp acting make me want to crack the wall open with my head. No wonder his career flopped in America.. he has a single talent (the homosexual stereotype) which he repeats ad nauseum. He had his moments as Kathy Burke's goofy sidekick, but he hasn't got the talent or charisma to be a leading man. Hes a one trick pony, and hopefully after watching his rotten performance here TV execs will realise this too and show him the door. Next stop: The Plaza in Brighton, playing the Dame!! You heard it here first..Even in a sitcom as abysmal as this, you can normally look to the supporting parts for at least a few good moments. Not here I'm afraid.. Everybody from George's weird alien friends to his two talking babies (awful special effects there BTW) ranges from tolerable to just about unbearable. Yes, his mother-in-law hates him. Yes, his two super-intelligent children are wise asses. Yes, his best mate is a freak who talks gibberish consistently. It ticks all the boxes, but somehow every vestige of humour is sucked out of this can't-miss scenario until the programme is dead in the water. How could this have happened? No idea, ask those scriptwriters, who are no doubt enjoying their yachts on the Channel with their undeserved earnings. Which brings me neatly to..Tonight's episode, which had to be seen to be believed. Heres the background: George wants to get back into the bedroom with his wife , but she refuses. Then, he sees how attracted she is to cats, so he asks a moggy for its advice. The conclusion he comes to is that if he can suck out the essence of feline, spray it on himself like a perfume and let his missus catch a whiff of the aroma, she'll fall head over heels for him again. So this is what he promptly does. Believe me, I have a very strong stomach, but seeing Dreyfus licking Emily Joyce's elbows and running after a strip of material she drags along the floor almost made me cough up yesterday's breakfast. This was was truly terrible television, and just when you think it can't get any worse than that.. There are five more episodes till the end of this series. And lots more barrels waiting to be scraped, no doubt. Oh, joy. Hang on, is that the Four Horsemen I see above me? Or just wishful thinking on my part?

mrnotdr I saw a few seconds of the end of this show on PBS a few years ago. Upon not seeing anything else about the show, it disappeared from my radar completely. That is until about three weeks ago when I stumbled across it on my cable on-demand menu. My Hero is the most totally contrived, unfunny, derivative piece of television garbage that the people of earth have seen since Mork and Mindy. But before making a judgment, allow me to say that I am compelled to watch as often as I possibly can. I love this show. I'm all up on each new episode like junkie on a score. I've noticed that I do not even laugh at any of the content of the show, but during the end credits I will laugh at myself for sitting transfixed, wasting my life watching what I can only describe as an absolutely hypnotic half hour of well-timed bad jokes strung together by a outlandish storyline. And I can't stop watching! The characters are charming, (my favorite being Janet's "tit" of a boss Piers) and you may find yourself actually caring for them. I don't know how I feel about the addition of the talking baby (4th or 5th season) but I do know that My Hero will have me in it's trance for some time to come.
