Alias (2001–2006)
Pretty bad
30 March 2003
I have only watched 4 episodes so far but I'm already comparing this show to MacGuyver and the A-Team.. why you might ask?

A double-agent working for both a ruthless terrorist organisation and for the CIA and yet when she comes across a bad guy she just nocks them out? Well that's a great way to win a war! How about carrying a weapon? Say a silenced usp? How about shooting you enemies so they can't return in another episode?

COME ON GIVE THE GIRL A GUN!!!

Example: She's chasing that other female agent that is about to climb up a ladder and get away on the roof and she asks her partner for his gun and then proceeds to shoot the other agent in the shoulder so she drops the bag! Come on she should have hunted her down and executed her, it would be far more realistic.

Example2: She was just in Moroco or whatever and she was spotted and the bad guys then shoot one of the people who she was workign with. What does her partner do? Starts beating them up instead of reaching for his gun?!?! Doesn't make sense.

Infact this series doesn't make sense. People are comparing it to 24, La Femme Nikita, X-Files, SG-1, Buffy and even James Bond. No it's like a mix between A-Team, Melrose Place and Dark Angel only taking the worst parts from those series.

The only fun thing is the guy who provides her with spy gear.

it just grows and grows

When I walked out of the cinema I was not sure what to think about the movie. I kept asking myself "What did I just see? What did I just see? Did I see LOTR?" and not until a few hours later is hit me "I HAVE SEEN LOTR".

This is a fantasy movie, but unlike other fantasy movies it doesn't feel like fantasy; it feels real, so very real. It feels like the movie was actually filmed in middle earth and not New Zeeland.

After the christmas holidays are over im going back to the cinema because I just need to see it again, I need to see it and memorize every little detail in preparation for the next installment december 2002.

I'm getting the DVD, I'm getting all three of them even if I don't have a DVD. This movie is worth the cost of a DVD player alone.

It's just.. OMFG
