Heroes - Season 2 - Complete [2007]

starring: Hayden Panettiere, Leonard Roberts, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka, Ali Larter
directed by: Adam Kane, Greg Beeman, Donna Deitch, Allan Arkush

Pacing is completely screwed with nothing interesting happening until halfway through the 11 episodes. Dull new characters in Maya (with her ridiculous ability), Alejandro (who ends up being totally pointless) and Monica. Plot is a rehash of the first series but done in half the time and with no character building or any of the mystery of series 1.
Worth watching for episodes 8 and 9 (Four Months Ago & Cautionary Tales) only.
The rest is boring and messy especially the appalling trash of 'Powerless' with Peter acting even more airheaded than I previously thought was possible and Nathan showing up and saving the day by saying the magic words "I love you" before deciding to organise a spur of the moment press conference and give ...

Heroes - Series 1-2 - Complete [Blu-ray] [2006]

starring: Hayden Panettiere, Greg Grunberg, Malcolm McDowell, Masi Oka, Ali Larter
directed by: Adam Kane, Greg Beeman, Donna Deitch

I love Heroes and having recently got a Blu Ray player, waited patiently for this to come out.

Ther series itself is fantastic. Some people didn't like Season 2. I agree it wasn't as good as Season 1 but I enjoyed it nonetheless. At least it tried to be different and some cool new characters were introduced.

Picture quality is good but not fantastic. There is an immense amount of detail but sometimes there is too much. I was particularly distracted by the Scenes with Niki as you can clearly see her make up.
Sound is average (poor for DTS HD). All dialogue comes from the centre speaker and although other sounds use all speakers as required, I was just as happy listening in Stereo.

Extras are patchy for Season ... Read More:

The programme material is fine... my issue is with the packaging. There are 4 episodes each on discs 1 & 2, 2 episodes on disc 3, and 1 episode on disc 4..!
Plenty of room to spread the 11 episodes across 3 discs - at a cheaper price.

Heroes: Season 1 - Part 1 [2006]

starring: Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, Greg Grunberg, Milo Ventimiglia, Adrian Pasdar
directed by: Greg Beeman, Allan Arkush

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Part 1 of this series. The story is well written with plenty of questions being thrown up. It is very much a mystery and my curiosity led me to carry on watching this way past my bedtime.

I too have found their decision to split the series into two parts for European release a disappointment. Series 1 is now available as a single box set but the pricing is extortionate compared to what USA viewers pay.

I'll be watching Part 2 next and hope it maintains the high standard set by Part 1. I'm certainly eager to find out what happens next.

Heroes is a show you either hate or love!

It took me several months and a few viewings of episodes to actually get and enjoy! I actually thought it quite a big rip off compared to X-Men and just thought it was another Mutant X (sorry i thought it was crap)!

Its an amazing journey and its nice to see less stand alone episodes of the older style television series of least recent times!

By the end of season 1 you SHOULD have enjoyed the development of the story, charectors and their powers! Like so many superheroes and their powers, they develop and theirs are no exception!

If I was to compare this show to any other or movie, I would say that it takes Unbreakable, multiplies the (im learning im special) superheroes ... Read More:

IVE JUST BOUGHT THIS SO I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE DVDS DONT COME AS THE PICTURE SHOWS. IT IS ONE SINGLE DVD CASE WITH THREE DVDS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AND NO BOX. NOT GOOD. THE OTHER MORE EXPENSIVE TRIPLE SET ON AMAZON MIGHT BE DIFFERENT.

They thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible abilities.

My Review:

What's that you hear? "A show based on humans with superpowers?" "Hasn't this been done before?" Well, yes; a new show created by producer and writer Tim Kring sees people all over the world discovering their newfound abilities in their own ways, more like X-Men for the common folk. Course with that being said, the characters are...well...common folk.

With several interesting plots that only seem to compare to the 'The 4400' which bares the story of people who are genetically enhanced and sent time-travelling to a specific place in time to alter history, it's fair to say that Heroes does neither of this, or travel in any direction in ...
