Reviews

I don't understand the poor ratings and bad reviews. Honestly, i prefer this series, rather than KRYPTON or LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. Those are crap. I can see, why people don't like this one, but all the complains aren't legitime. The FX aren't bad as some say. They're at least as good as in other superhero series. And the characters are likely. I would definetely watch a second season, but sadly enough, that's obviously not going to happen. So this one will vanish in the one-season-nirvana, like the good FOREVER or the also good HARDBALL...god, do i miss HARDBALL.....but i'm drifting off...

Give it a try...it is not that bad. In fact you might like it.

All friends of Stranger Things will instantly feel the vibes. From the start, this movie delivers the right feeling that all of us who grew up in the 80s like and miss in todays films. The setting and the soundtrack do the rest to fulfill instant eighties-mood. A nice piece that's worth a watch.

First let me say: i understand everyone who knows the Original and feels not satisfied with this one. That said, i know this was a punch in the face...and i like Mangas/Animes as well. I can count up a lot of very bad adaptations (Fist of the North Star, for example...), but i kinda liked this one. Maybe it's because i'm not so familiar with the original Anime Series or other adaptations, but i know, what's going on. And for that, i think it did a good job. See it as a Popcorn-Movie only for entertaining purpose. Don't expect some character-studies or other descent developments...it's just for fun. I think, it's very hard to put a complex Story like DEATH NOTE in 1h41m...and i can hear all critics shouting "So don't do it!". But i think it worked very well. I liked the characters and the soundtrack was good, too.

So: hardcore Fans, avoid this one. Maybe it would've worked better, as a Mini-Series or a regular TV-Show.

To all the others: it's worth a watch and i hope they'll make a sequel. I've seen worse this year, but this one's good. Check it!

It's really sad, that there still is no DVD release of this great series. I never missed an episode. Please, SONY PHE, release this TV-show!!! I guaran-damn-tee you, it will be a BESTSELLER!

It's a shame, that there's only one season. Maybe HARDBALL didn't start at the right time... And when i look at todays shows, i really miss the old days with Charlie & Kaz. So many epic moments, so many LOLs...

And the theme song from Sylvester Levay & Eddie Money: GREAT...and also never released.

If SONY would start e petition, i'd be one of the first to sign it!

If you have the chance to watch this show, don't hesitate. It's worth watching more than once...
