I've given this precisely 07.44 and am,so far, less than impressed!

Jody -and the storylines- have really been a Curate's Egg ever since she took over the role from Peter Capaldi, and this latest episode is no different.

I really hope that that next iteration is far more challenging in terms of writers, plot lines, and show runners.

One can hope!

Rarely have I given a movie less time than this, prior to deciding to switch it off.

Thankfully I never got to seeing Tom Berenger, just what was he (or possibly his agent) thinking?

Thankfully my previous (good) opinion of him still holds firm.

That's 5 minutes 21 seconds of my life I'll never get back!

Whether or not this is a true reflection of a Bobbies' lot in life ,with regards to the people he works with, the assorted scallies that he comes into contact with when doing his job,his relationship woes et al, is moot.

The Bill it ain't, but the writing is great, as is Martin Freeman in the lead role, and despite his obvious leanings towards the dark side of the force, you're almost rooting for him!

I confess to not having read the classic novel by Jules Verne ,and I'm rather pleased that I did not, having no preconceived opinions on this series as a result, although I did watch the film version a while ago, with David Niven in the leading role.

I find ,per current BBC programs, that it's 'right on' on terms of it being scrupulously PC ;but the main protagonist (Fogg) seems to have been utterly hollowed out-as if being a doughty Englishman may offend in certain circles which is a shame. Fogg is portrayed as cowardly,uncertain,morose,and reliant on his companions to a larger extent, something that the character in the book,or David Niven would certainly not have acceded to.

The performances are sound, the costumes are perfect, and the locations are excellent, although I'm left with a nagging doubt as to whether or not I'll get 'in' to it eventually.

I have watched three episodes so far and I'll probably watch the rest, but I'm certainly not swept away, but it passes the time I suppose.

As above, the writing, storyline and the acting are all truly dreadful ,with Eddie Izzard's character particularly culpable as THE most insufferably arrogant mentor to the main protagonist.

Very strange ,low marked reviews on here ,with regards to how "terrible" it is etc ,interspersed with good reviews.

I know that I'm only two episodes into the first series but, judging by the way it's started, I'm with the people that have reviewed the entire series and given it high marks.

It's well filmed ,well lit ,catches the Gotham "look" perfectly in so doing ,has good cast, and is decently written.

Looking forward to watching it all over the next couple of weeks.

As above, but please don't expect The Exorcist or the first Omen film or any other of the fine horror films that have been made over the years.

Also, I have to say, that John Winchester and his boys would've sorted this out in 50 minutes or so, omitting advertising breaks obviously!

After reading through the first review on the top of the page ,giving it 10/10 and with the viewer deciding that they"believed all of it" I have decided to take the easy option and avoid.

This is a dreadful movie.

How anyone can deign to give it a "10" is beyond my ken.

Takes all sorts I suppose.

I watched this this afternoon, the film starts reasonably(ish) ,and then quickly deteriorates into a horrible mess, with an awful script ,cheap production values and, "acting" to match , please refrain, from giving it "five more minutes" as I kept doing. Switch off after five minutes and do something productive instead!

As above, a film the could have been so much better, had the people making it bothered to have been interested in actually telling an interesting story, instead of reverting to the (usual) Mad Scientist schtick.

This is a preview ( to my review) after I've seen a few episodes, really can't make my mind up , we've got 1/10's, 10/10's and everything in between on here!, so let's go at a MOR 5/10, for now!

I loved ALL the Bourne films, even the one without him! but if you're hoping for similar in this new series, prepare to be a tad disappointed, however, if you've not watched any of the Bourne films , you will not have pre-conceived ideas, which is probably a good thing! Not that it's not worth watching, it's fine to while away an afternoon binge watching , although it doesn't stand out from the Strike Back, Jack Ryan, Deep State (et al) crowd in any way. Furthermore ,you will need to keep up. Be prepared to jump times and continents at the drop of a hat!

Cliched ,overblown,and has tried way too hard- to capture MCU's appropriate interjections of humour-and done it badly. So,Ham or Cheese? I'll have both thanks!

One can only hope that this series improves, a tawdry and sluggish start,however it has achieved 9+ on here is beyond my comprehension.

It's a fabulous film. It's not fabulous if you dislike superheroes, but you wouldn't go to watch it in the first place would you so why are you reading this?
