MacGyver (2016)
This is not Macgyver no no no
This is a sad remake of a classic series that I grew up watching. What's even worse is Henry Winkler produced 14 episodes of this and he should know better considering he was executive producer of 139 episodes in the original series. In the original nobody called him Angus because nobody knew his first name and it was only with some serious research that I discovered it all those years ago. Poor Pete Thornton replaced as a woman, if they're going to replace someone don't use an almost identical name. The new Macgyvers flat mate is a idiot, making stupid CGI movies about monsters, weird. The only bonus to this version is Riley because she is hot and she knows her stuff when it comes to computers, acting skills could do with some work though.
Thunderbirds Are Go (2015)
don't like some parts
This comment is not meant to be a racial slur on the person who plays the voice of brains but I grew up watching the original series just like Richard Taylor from Weta workshops who said he was going to get as close as possible to the original, well the original Brains didn't have an Indian accent and he had a stutter (the stutter was even reproduced in the movie version played by Anthony Edwards)
Why oh why did they have to get rid of the name Tin Tin, I realize that was just an alternative name and her real name was Tanusha "kayo" Kyrano but Tin Tin was what she was always called even by her parents.
Lastly where is The father Jeff Tracey ?? Have they retired him because John is no longer in school ?
I feel these are critical errors for die hard fans like myself. Richard Taylor also said that he had full approval from the creators to do this series in cgi format, he also stated that he wanted it done in cgi because it would make the characters be able to do things like abseiling down a cliff which was hard to recreate in the puppet version. Maybe I just need to get with the times, but when you promise to get it as close to the original as possible then I feel you should honor that promise.
Episode 4 has just played in New Zealand and to be honest I'm forcing myself to watch it in the hope I'll start to enjoy it but so far that's not happening.
