Bionic Ever After?

This was A good movie...I THINK.. The problem being.. It's been about four or five years. Since I've seen it. They air Bionic showdown and the return of the six million dollar man and the bionic woman on a regular basis. That's cool. Those are great! But where is BIONIC EVER AFTER. AND WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS? GET WITH THE PROGRAM UNIVERSAL!

I disagree with some of the people who wrote this one off so much. It is so much more like the Bionic stories of the 70's in that it deals with the emotions of the characters and gives centre stage to the people who deserve to be there. The first TV special was a step in the right direction. The second TV special is a contradiction in terms. We hardly see Steve and Jaime. They are given hardly any scenes of action and when they are they are always cut short. What is the point of having the two stars of the series be in this Special and then pad it out with wafer thin characters? I wanted to see Jaime and Steve not 'Bionic The New Generation'. Some other time maybe but not in this movie. I found myself feeling annoyed at the amount of time the new characters had and how little the real stars were allowed to shine. I'm sorry but Sandra Bullock (no matter how talented) is no replacement for Lyndsay Wagner. When 'Bionic Ever After' was shown on SKY I was hesitant as I didn't want the same experience as 'Showdown'. It was a fitting end to the saga and I loved it. At last we had the couple who gave us the great series back in the 70's go for it in grand style. OK I admit it was slower in pace but more than made up for it in intimacy and charm, and at last we had Steve and Jaime doing what they do best. I have viewed this movie many times with friends who share my views entirely. This film has a depth to it that 'Showdown' completely lacks. Of all the Bionic films this is my personal favourite.

Steve and Jamie are back in action again...reluctantly, as everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, putting a quick-halt to their long-awaited wedding. It was fun to see favorite characters again, regardless of their ages. And the pace of this film was a little better than the previous disaster, "Bionic Showdown". Here, Jamie's bionics start to break down, and no one knows why. Steve also re-enlists with the OSI to rescue a kidnapped agent. Okay - now, enter Rudy Wells to, if he can, solve the Jamie Sommers bionic mystery in fifteen minutes or less. A few bionic surprises at the end of the movie looked very interesting ...even exciting. Sadly, that was all we ever got, as this, it seems, would be the last time we'd ever see Steve and Jamie (played by Majors and Wagoner) again. The final scene of this movie tied up the long-running series nicely, and there was a funny last-line spoken by Majors. So, all in all, as this may not have been the greatest set of movies, we got what we got, so you might as well just say "thank you" and be happy. The original Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman television series was always a blast to watch in the '70s ...and they're still fun, to this day, to re-watch and enjoy! (And no. I did not enjoy the Bionic Woman remake/re-envisioning series. I always felt they catastrophically miscast Jamie Sommers - and the addition of the bratty sister was another colossal mistake. But it usually is when writers, for some reason, feel they have to add kids in an adult action/drama story.) I would, however, be more than willing to give the franchise another chance, should they ever decide to remake The Six Million Dollar Man. The Bionic Woman should be included in that show. That's what a fan of the series would like to see. Great fantasy stories mixed with current events would be nice as well - like, don't be afraid to have Steve fight a mythical creature, as he did in the original series. Remember, that Bigfoot episode is probably the most popular. That, and Death probe. Just stay away from dating-woes and bratty kid issues. Nobody cares who Steve & Jamie's recently orphaned half-brother/sister is...even if he or she is a goth-wannabe and a brilliant computer hacker who 4 episodes later suddenly reveals they're a black belt in karate too and they also know how to unlock any lock with the spiral part of their spiral notebook and other MacGyver so-whats!

I watched this film yesterday when it was repeated on the Sci-Fi channel, I'm too young to remember the 'Six Million Dollar Man' and 'The Bionic Woman' the first time round but I can remember watching repeats of the shows.

I enjoyed this movie although I did feel like it spent a little bit too long setting up the situation rather than resolving it.. but that's a small niggle when you have two very watchable characters played by actors who seem to be having a ball.

I would say this was made more for fans of the shows rather than new viewers, since it doesn't spend a lot of time re-introducing the older characters.

I was very pleased to see my heroes from my young teens again. Unfortunately, having made modern computers and electronics my profession, it was extremely difficult to suspend my disbelief when it came to the tech in this new and final adventure. I was also struck (dumbfounded) by the contrast between Lyndsay's and Lee's acting--she acted circles around him! No wonder Jamie had more of a following than Steve (other than her killer beauty). Anyway, while the writing suffered, it was definitely nice to finally see them wed. By the way, I don't know if the restaurant company was a sponsor, but look for the cameo of Wendy's founder Dave Thomas in the basement of the embassy. Had to rewind and look at it again 'cause it so surprised me.
