Well that's 2hrs of my life I'll never get back. I'm waiting the whole movie for someone to step up and be a parent, give the kid a haircut and make him behave.......nada. This was the during "The Great War". I don't think a parent especially at that time would not have. None of this movie made any sense except at the end you maybe think RP was his real father or....maybe not. The music was too loud and drowned out alot of the dialog and why do we have to watch people walk down 5 or 6 HUGE staircases over and over. But the end was the icing on the cake. First camera focuses on a little girl with a blue hat and we looked at her for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then we saw a blurry picture of Pat and Center in the back of a car and then it look like the camera was spinning out of control. I actually felt motion sickness. This was just a bad bad movie. But the end was the icing on the cake. First the camera focuses on a little girl with a blue hat and we looked at her for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then we see a blurred picture of Patinson sitting in the back of a car and then it looked like the camera was spinning out of control. I actually felt motion sickness. This was just a really bad movie and a huge waste of time . I think I'm being generous giving it to Stars. You know what? Went back and took one star back.

James Spader is superb in his roll as Raymond Reddington. I find all the characters in the show top rate and believable....except for Megan Boone and the character Elizabeth. This character is so sanctimonious and self centered it just grates against my nerves.This character does anything she "feels"is the best thing even if it's against protocol and puts the team in danger. Then berates Reddington, who is actually helping her, because he colors outside the lines.The fact that the show went from an interesting "get the really bad guys" show to all about "Lizzy" has gotten really very annoying and is starting to get old. There are 6 other characters to shed some focus on. I understand the background story between her and Reddington is important....I get that. But all the drama and, not to mention, all the dumb selfish things Elizabeth does is really starting to be a turn off. Whoever the writer is for this character needs to be fired. Also, what's up with Lizzy's miraculous healing powers? She can get punched in the face by a man and not only get up right away, but never has a scratch on her. She should have had black eyes for at least a couple of weeks. Everybody else on the show gets realistically (believably) injured and goes through the healing process. But not cast iron Lizzy. Come on guys, give it a rest. Please don't turn a great show of intrigue,espionage and edge of your seat stories into a soap opera with a bad leading actress. I TRULY want to continue watching this show. Needless to say, this is why I gave a 9 rating instead of a 10.

I like the show. It's something I can sit down and watch with the whole family and not have to worry about language Etc. But Melissa Roxburgh's eyebrows are a distraction. They look like two caterpillars crawling on top of her eyes. It's not attractive. At times they almost look like they're fake. Like I said, very distracting. I hope someone can address this. Since she's a main character I would like to remember the parts she is in instead of being mezmerized by those funky eyebrows.

Finally, a show we can all watch together! I started watching this with my kids thinking "ok....this looks safe. We can all watch this and when the kids go to bed, I can watch something I like". I usually go for action adventure, espionage and who done its. Not necessarily family friendly. But I actually really like this show! The fact that we can all watch and enjoy it is not just good, it's totally unique. There are no other new (or old for that matter) shows like it. They are either too violent for kids or they are so dumb or syrupy sweet it is torture to sit through. This is what family veiwing should be. Not to mention that the kids go away with the idea of doing things for others because it's the right thing to do. Finally someone in the industry was brave enough to get it right.
