westsideschl 1. Loaded with borrowed (stolen?) film hooks from other similar films. Super power (what ever that means) human(s) being pursued by evil gov/corporate group headed by, usually, (trending now) female nasty. 2. Cheap graphics & CGI effects, e.g butterfly that looks like a child's cutout; fake fire; paper appearing cut outs of flying people. Lots of shots of the Aurora Borealis as filler. 3. Juvenile dialogue oriented to the under 16 audience to help understand what's going on. 4. 75% of the film is standing around with robotic talking/acting. A lot of it just to prolong/lengthen film as filler to make four discs. The acting (ha!) extras look really fakey amateurish (especially the panic running scenes). And, always found in these films is a scene of cars abandoned with debris strewn about; all look artificially placed by the props people. 5. The science would get a failing grade in a middle school science class. Instant transporting of people with a thought - think about it. Flying, OK, well everyone is doing it in film so it's just second nature now. Add to that the stopping time then moving things around - just Gawd awful writing. Stopping a world wide Earth destroying storm by screaming while holding your arms up? Solar flare causes the Earth's magnetic poles to reverse - sorry, that won't pass middle school science either.

nicholls_les Only watched the first one but I was impressed. Good story (So it has holes but so did the original) and casting is very good. One thing that sets it apart is the amazing special effects. I think sadly we have become so used to these being good that we take it all for granted.I do get the criticisms that others here have made, but give it a chance. The original series was a slow starter and also had some major failings, but it picked up and became a classic. The only thing I haven't got yet is the Japanese girl role. It doesn't really make sense that she goes into a video game world, but maybe that will become clearer? The motivation for that couple killing the evo's is the death of his child, not sure about her motivation. I know it doesn't make sense that someone would take revenge in this way, but such things actually happen all the time. The motivation for many terrorist acts is often some personal loss or even less serious things such as bullying and rejection. I guess the human mind is complex and it is hard for someone sane and level headed to understand the imbalanced reactions of a few.So I will give this a chance and look forward to the next episode.

someone else Imagine a time traveler, and he (Hiro Nakamura and Bennett) goes to the past to find out the details of an incident (13th June explosion), but they say "we must hurry because we have only three hours!!!"... a man (Bennett) tries to reach to his daughter whatever it takes, just to see his daughter. (by the way his immortal daughter is dead because of delivery (giving birth). He could get his daughter at last, and he has a chance to see her even though she is dead, but he rather stand by her side and leave there without uncovering the linen, so without seeing if that girl was his daughter or not!!...and imagine a boy who can send things to a place where he just think about. He teleports himself and his girlfriend to Paris (in front of Eiffel Tower) from USA, they want to enjoy the view of Paris on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Instead of teleporting himself and his friend to the Eiffel Tower, he is lining up at the entrance of the Tower. He is upset because he is not allowed to go into the Tower!!!...and so many nonsenses and contradictions that the film is full of..!!

vivekdhanania There is no comparison between the original Heroes and this new one. It simply lacks the thrill quotient. The writers seem to be totally puzzled. It was really frustrating to go through the series just in a hope ... whoosh some great story idea pops up .... but alas. At the start itself the pieces were so confusing. Nobody new what was happening or what is going to happen. It was more like a political drama rather than a thrilling fantasy. The Evo's were there for name sake. We were hoping the end would be a bit more interesting, thrilling, but we expected a lot from people who wasted the entire season of 13 episodes just mocking the viewers for their patience and intelligence.
