    Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
    Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
    TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
    Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
    jason_a_ellis Was a great show. It had that same quality Mythbusters had, it was entertaining, educational and I didn't have to worry of my 10yo daughter walked in the room because it was all kid safe if not kid interesting. The real star of the show was Ed and in the last couple of seasons it seemed to really fly with more time in the workshop than the tedious stuff about Mike looking for car on the internet. You could overlook the ridiculous "profit" that didn't include what would often have been thousands of pounds flying out to a city where a car was, renting a car to visit the car, towing it to a shipping agent and containering it back to the UK (or just putting it on a low loader when they moved to the US). You could ignore the £60-100 per hour in mechanics fees or Ed's tool collection that would cost many thousands of pounds to accumulate. You could ignore Mike selling cars for 1/2 what they're worth just to move them on. You could even ignore the obviously special deals Mike got from specialist repair people and manufacturers. You could do this because Ed's workshop bit was very good. Coming to the show recently and streaming the shows, I often skipped through the boring bits of the early shows where Mike bought a car and spoke to owners of a tidy example in the very early seasons watched Ed's section than skipped to the next episode when it got to Mike's sales bit. Mike was best when used as the parentheses around the Ed China Mechanical show, the cheeky chappy that told you what car they were going to get and why, sometimes offering insight on how not to buy a bad car, occasionally buying a few bits and then had a bit of fun at the end with the finished car. The thing is, you watch the shows and you get to think of Mike as the funny bloke down the pub and Ed as your mate that helps you fix your motor. So Ed leaving the show because the production company Velocity, thought they should cut the mechanical side of the production as it was too expensive to make has really broken the show. It's like Happy Days losing The Fonz. If Velocity think that Ed's mechanical bit was too expensive to produce, I imagine they'll find the whole show pretty expensive as people stop watching and resale and ad revenues fall. I can't watch the new series now "me old China" has gone.
    fedorath I will still watch Wheeler Dealers, that is if I can handle the "High Energy" music and sound effects which detract, not thrill or improve the show in any way. Ant seems a nice chap but the truncated mechanical aspects which added so much to the show are gone; what a terrible shame.I have watched the program since its introduction into the U.S. market and it has certainly changed; the changes were an improvement until last season when something wasn't "Clicking" in the formula.When buying a new "Business", in this case a TV program with a proved formula, the last thing to do is make changes to components which have made the entity an asset. What a shame.A unique asset has been made a run of the mill "Show".Mr. Brewer, as you are the remaining component of the original program you must accept the responsibility for the result.Sometimes the best thing to do rather than compromise is "Let it Go".
    joa92 Mike & Edd are my favorite car over-haulers. (There are a few American shows like this but WD is the best). Mike searches for the cars and Edd gives the cars a new breath. Every episode is mostly the same but that doesn't bother me. Its a very good show if u want to learn something more about car mechanics and little DIY jobs on your car. I have not watched WD for a few years was amazed that it is still running on TV, even after almost 14 years, those years are visible on Edd's hairs color. 1 of my favorite car shows, even better than current The Grand tour, tho u cant compare both reallyHave fun watching Wheeler DealersTala.
    Steve McLaughlin It's a real car restoration show without the unwanted side story lines. Minus Mike's Cockney accent during negotiations, Edd steals the show. My only negative comment would be how low they sell the cars. A beautifully restored BMW M3 for 6 thousand pounds? Not sure if there is a difference in the UK and the U.S. concerning used cars, but that was a steal. That car would have sold easily over $25k here. For a car restorer, I like the way Edd doesn't try to "shiny up parts," during the restoration. By far the restoration car show on TV. I only hope they continue this series as it is gaining popularity over here. This is what car shows should be like, the soap opera stuff mixed in with most other car programs are basically a nuisance. Cheers!
