Cinema is subjective but I'm not entirely convinced I saw the same movie that all these 9/10-star reviews saw.

I really wanted to like this film but it was simply a disappointment. Painful pacing, amateur acting, laughable writing, and distracting continuity errors are among the failures that kept pulling me out of the movie and left me shaking my head at the production team from beginning to end. The lone highlight for me was the cinematography where there seemed to be an effort to spotlight the landscape of Corsicana and capture it's beauty, but even then it was overplayed and drawn out as if they knew that was all they had going for it.

Washington's directorial debut fell flat in my opinion and we are left with a hollow, even if well-intentioned, attempt at telling the worthy story of Bass Reeves.

A previous post called it a caffeine rush... I totally agree.

The first time my wife and I previewed the show on Playhouse Disney, we both thought it was pure visual caffeine. The kids catch a bit of it once in a while and it makes them crazy.

I totally concur with everything "rickert from Oregon" said in their post. The 'live' scenes look forced, the kids are over-the-top and the adults are pulling a collective 'are-you-kidding-me' face. Bear in the Big Blue House, The Koala Brothers, Higglytown Heroes, JoJo's Circus, The Wiggles, Stanly, Out of the Box are ALL, in a different way, educational... but the Doodlebops are empty calories. Just a visual sugar rush that is empty. Sorry guys, but it needs to go.

Bad, bad, bad.

Hope Disney pulls this bad idea off the air soon.

I'm late in seeing this one...

I liked the movie, but had it not been a virtual clone of The Matrix, I would have liked it more.

The dark noir atmosphere, the high-pitched strings, the music, Victor surviving off of tubes connected throughout his body, the gun battles & kung-fu fighting, tight leather suits, the silver liquid injection...

Come on...

Like I said, I liked it, but...

I hear there is a sequel in the works? ...Underworld: Re-Loaded Revolution?

Absolutely amazing... I saw Spider-Man and was impressed. I saw Attack of the Clones and I was floored! The scope and range of this film was nearly overwhelming. The story-line was captivating and exciting. The fight scenes were excellently done (Yoda's fight scene left me in absolute awe). The climax of the movie left me on the edge of my seat, and I have never literally done that before in a movie theater. Great job George!
