Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Brendon Jones 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.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

fshep-1 The Lone Gunmen, castoffs in a society which doesn't tolerate people outside of the circle, was one of those unique , and interesting shows, which are hard or nearly impossible to duplicate. So much for diversity!Characters created by Glen Morgan and James Wong , Richard "Ringo" Langly (Dean Haglund) Computer Geek Extraordinaire , Melvin Frohike (Tom Braidwood) Electronics Wizard , and J. F. Byers (BruceHarwood) Humanitarian and Seeker of the Truth, team up to form one of the oddest combinations of all time . Added to the Team were Jimmy "James" Bond(Stephen Snedden), and their adversarial counterpart Yves Adel Harlowe, it spells Lee Harvey Oswald(Zuleika Robinson), Zuleikha means " Beautiful One " in Farsi,(Persian) . I guess the TRUE irony is that you CANNOT find the Actors Names ON or IN the DVD box it comes in!!! WOW! What a Snub !!! Thanks Fox, what Class!The Simpsons is on for over 15 years, but they cancel this program ?Go Figure ! This was the only show which Predicted the Possibility of an Attack on America and they get rewarded by Cancellation ! They didn't inspire evil, but tried to prevent it .INCREDIBLE!These actors WERE real heroes for their Visionary thinking, and always taking on More than the average Joe . The only real enemies they had were ones that were afraid of people who ask TOUGH questions .Pilot Episode deals with the disappearance of Byers' father and the possibility of a terrorist attack .Also introduces Zuleikha Robinson, TV will not be the same .Episode #1 introduces Jimmy "James" Bond, created for comic relief and to provide a "Bond", sorry for the pun, to play against the trio and the audience.Episode #2 puts Frohike in Leiderhosen, which I find HILARIOUS,I guess you have to have a European background to really" GET" the joke , as they try to reunite a long lost son with his mother .Episode # 3 has the Trio searching for a vehicle that runs on H2O, a personal favorite .Episode # 4 finds the Team babysitting , while trying to find the killer of a political campaign employee .Episode # 5 attempts to solve a man's claim to a house, in a community where no one seems to know him.Episode # 6 has The Lone Gunmenmatching wits with a Super-Intelligent Chimp, this is AAA Material and a Classic !!! Yes, it wins the Homer Simpson Award for people who enjoy chimps with High I.Q.'s.Episode # 7 finds Byers and Jimmy in prison , attempting to find the truth behind a murder , this show actually crosses the border into Drama, but finds it's way back in the second half . Interesting, but tough to watch .Episode # 8 the Boys are on the track of a poacher of Grizzlies, but find themselves in over their head .Episode # 9 Tango Los Pistoleros is a Classic , with Yves and the Team in Miami, on the trail of Government Secrets . A Personal Favorite !!!Episode # 10 finds A D Skinner,from the X-Files, in the middle of a who dun-nit, as the chief suspect !!! Mitch Peliggi finally gets to showcase his acting ability in a Tour DE Force performance .Episode # 11 Cap'n Toby , Langly's childhood TV idol, under arrest for espionage !!! For those who like Tom Poston, this one is for you .Episode # 12 "All About Yves", Morris Fletcher teams with the Gunmen, in order to retrieve a stolen computer disc, taken by Yves. Episode is one-dimensional and except for a great opening, dull .This was the NEVER FINISHED , supposedly "To Be Continued " episode that completely leaves the viewer in LIMBO . "Jump the Shark", an X-Files program from their last season, ATTEMPTS to end the story line of the last episode from "The Lone Gunmen" series, but COMPLETELY misses the mark, by Eliminating the Gunmen in some ham-handed mishmash, throwing in the towel for a total lack commitment to the fans and ACTORS who enjoyed this Series . The term "Jump The Shark " is an industry inside joke, that means a TV show has reached a point of obsolescence, and needs to be dumped, so when the title was added to the final episode, you get a feel of what they are really trying to say . Dump this Turkey in the nearest trash bin !!! The Greatest complement I give "Jump The Shark" is of its' testament to the stupidity of Man to eats it's young .So enjoy the pilot and 11 episodes, only watch the 12th one and "Jump The Shark", if you want to be disappointed with intelligent programming for adults who enjoy some fantasy. Mark Snow was really coming into his own with the Music that was taking the Gunmen into a higher level of programming . Too bad for us and him. Get the DVD, nice extras....Whatever .......

ondine_ur Watching this series again recently on DVD made me wince. I can not believe this show was culled after one series - a truly criminal act. Perhaps because it was not clearly definable what this show was, is it a comedy? thriller? Meant for the slower witted it was hard to put in to a little comfy descriptive box. If we consider it's parent show, X-files, that had both lighter comedic episodes alongside darker themes and that was given a chance to develop. I think for many the dramatic pilot and last episode were the strongest and showed what it could have been and I think those who enjoyed the x-files or similar will appreciate these best (not the horrible x-files - jump the shark which just feels like it was a means to an end not to mention gaping plot holes). If you like the funny, weird and quite frankly bizarre then TGM has much to offer..midget wrestling anyone?We all deserved better. I hope someone got their ass kicked for cancelling TGM.

gk-31 The Lone Gunmen surpassed the X-Files in every conceivable way. It was witty, intelligent, not your typical knuckle-dragger fodder. Parodying many elements of the parent series (as well as other films, such as Mission Impossible or The Green Mile) it was not afraid to poke fun at its self, a refreshing change from the pomposity into which the X-Files too frequently lapsed. Jimmy Bond proved the perfect foil for the antics of Byers, Langley and Frohike with his wholesome apple-pie sense of justice (difficult to play with a straight face, I imagine). I really am at a loss as to why it should have been cancelled since it displayed great potential. Perhaps its initial release came too close to the end of the X-Files, perhaps viewers were suffering from X-Files fatigue. All I can do is recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the adventures of the trio in the original.

Roddy-15 What was going through the minds of the people who canceled this show? Probably a conspiracy perpetrated by people who are plotting to destroy television by allowing bad shows like Off Centre to stay and getting rid of good ones like ¨Dead Last¨, ¨Maybe it´s me¨ and ¨Night Visions¨.The Lone Gunmen was funny, the characters were great, the action was good. After watching the first season, I became convinced that the show would last for as long as the X-files has. Sadly it is gone.
