Heróis: O Renascimento

Before you read further, I am the kind of reviewer that just wants to see a good movie/series. I am not going to compare anything with books,am not going to judge acting on details,... I just want to see a good thing without having to much expectations.

Wow...the first time I saw that heroes reborn was out I got high hopes. Since the Heroes series I was waiting to find something similar.

The first episodes start good in my opinion. It doesn't give it all away just like the first heroes. But... After having watched the whole thing it looks like so many cool things could be done with the powers of ever character. Thats what made Heroes so good, the building up, the new aspects every episode, leading to a great end.

If you are a fan of Heroes i would still recommend to watch it because i know you like this kind of series. But also you will be disappointed at the end.

I have to start by saying I really liked the original Heroes. Especially the first 2 season were masterpieces. There was a brilliant mystery that was making me want to see more and more.

Unfortunately i can't say the same about Heroes Reborn. There are obvious plot holes and even some ridiculous segments. There is an Asian girl who lives alone, have no friends, no family and all that she does is stay in her apartment out of convenience for the plot and this is not even the worst part. She has to safe her father....from a video game, where she can teleport or whatever and when she does that you see it in a computer graphics video.

The show is copying a lot from the its predecessor like the main characters are again of Asian, Latin and obviously American origin. Their development, however, is lacking and is not as clever as the original. There is a mystery but this time it is created in the most stupid way - by coincidences that stop the main character from finding what he actually used to know.

Another downfall to the show is that there are too many children in the main characters. I mean is this supposed to be a teen show?

I still keep my hope alive that the show will get better and develop the mystery properly and make me want more and more like the original.

Liking this show. Started slow and a bit disjointed it now has me hooked and waiting impatiently for the next episode. (episode 8) I don't get the very bad ratings, yeah the acting for some of the characters is average at best but the stalwarts carry it well enough. Would love to know what the deal is with the drunk guy as he is the worst of the lot. He wasn't much better in the dance movies he did... let's see how his story develops as it doesn't seem part of the main storyline. The other minor irritation I had was the murder spree the couple went on after their son died. It makes no sense at all and could really have been done better.

This reboot doesn't do the original any justice. Some of the CGI is dreadful. I mean really bad SyFy shows produce better CGI.

The script is terrible. Not interesting, none of "the magic" of the original is there.

I like how they integrate some of the old story characters into the new show, but the dialogue and storyline is so lame, even that gimmick fails.

I'll still watch a few more episodes just to see if it gets better, but so far I am truly disappointed. With all the money they put into this show, especially with promoting, I was expecting a much better product. It's amazing how the people behind AMC shows make so much better shows, and they don't even need to promote them.

I'd like to consider myself a huge fan of this show. I understand the time jump but given the pre-story of the show, the mini-series seems to be dragging at at snail pace. Maybe it is just me wanting the story to pick up from the beginning since its only 13 episodes. A few things that frustrate me. The married couple killing evos "out of nowhere" kind of seems like they have one purpose to the show which is to avenge the death of their son, but that deranged batsh!t wife, I honestly think she has no purpose in "heroes". It probably would have been better if Zachery Levi's character was the lone warrior hunting evos down himself, finding his purpose of why he's doing so but she needs to go! HRG's absent memory is bizarre, I mean given the character's actions throughout heroes, he was always for protecting Claire, now all of a sudden he's out protect all the evos that are left in the world because of one KEY memory is gone that would actually prevent him from doing so. I hope they reveal what he wanted to forget, soon. There are a lot of other things, but these two stuck out the most. I do enjoy the series but they really need to pick up the pace.
