Strictly average movie
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreI stumbled across this show while channel surfing one day. When I found nothing else to watch I returned to the channel it was airing on. I am so glad I did because this is one of the most interesting TV series I have seen in a long time. The setting of the show couldn't be more perfect, the plots always managed to keep me in suspense, and the actors performances were spot on. All of these left me begging to see more episodes. I think this show would give Burn Notice and Leverage a run for their money. I am extremely saddened to hear it has been canceled. I wish they could find someway to do a show revival, because I would definitely be Watching.
... View MoreAnnoying Characters Played By Great Actors Are Still Annoying With a phenomenal cast like Tim Daly, Gregg Henry, Geoff Pierson, and Graham Beckel 'Eyes' appeared to be a must see. The premise of high tech PIs was also intriguing.Unfortunately 'Eyes' fails miserably by giving us more annoying characters than a David E. Kelly show. Each and everyone of these characters is a socially crippled, selfish, nymphomaniac glutton.Of course this never held back the flawed characters of 'LA Law' or 'Wise Guy.' The main difference is they weren't annoying and had more substance behind their flaws.Instead of coming across as intelligent and strong, these annoying characters are weak. Morally and mentally.It's extremely unrealistic how these sub moronic gluttons are able to start legal wars with global criminal billionaire organizations. John Gotti would've had these guys whacked within the first 5 minutes of every episode.Since the financial wealth of every opponent is mentioned. "International arms dealer Mr. Greaseballo has $100,000,000 in his checking account and connections to the Chinese communists. So he can afford a $1,500 an hour attorney." Yet when it comes to playing hardball these criminal masterminds and their high priced attorneys fold like Superman on laundry day.These conflicts are both unrealistic and unsatisfying. In order for heroes to be heroic they must overcome stronger and evil villains. The billionaire villains of 'Eyes' are so weak the audience ends up actually feeling sorry for them.The writers of 'Eyes' are truly talented in their ability to reduce such an amazing cast of actors into bratty children playing with fire yet never getting burned.Avoid 'Eyes' at all costs!
... View MoreThis show was fun and utilized the great on-screen personality of Tim Daly. It was fun and entertaining with a bit of angst that made you want to tune in the following week--and then it was gone.Maybe just maybe, networks need to give ensemble pieces that appear to have chemistry but need time to get to the public--the chance to do just that. The cost of the pilot and the first shows should at least make it financially prudent to show all of the shows in the can.This one is gone-----but maybe next time the same mistake won't be made. And maybe, someone will find a vehicle for the multi-talented Mr. Daly.
... View MoreI have watched the series since ABC first aired it after Alias on Wednesday evenings. The show has a great "fit" in the Wednesday lineup since the two shows proceeding it are action/suspense/dramas in the form of Lost and Alias. With the viewer ship of those two shows already tuned in I think they will find this show to please their viewing taste. It is a very impressive series with a smart cast including of course Tim Daly in the lead role and great intermixed story lines going on both long term and short term. I sincerely hope the folks up at ABC don't judge this series too fast as it has fantastic potential and hopefully they will realize they are putting it up against an established heavyweight with "CSI".Personally I think CBS has went overboard on the CIS theme and it's refreshing to see a action/drama series like Eyes on the air. In recent years it seems harder to find series that are original and ones that contain some concerted thought when they were developed, this series has the earmarkings of being one of the rare gems in the lineup. From a personal viewing standpoint, I am tired of seeing too many of the reality series that truly aren't reality at all but just glorified game shows more or less where they offer prizes to folks in order to get them to participate. We as an audience could use a little more variety including action adventures like Eyes and maybe a little less "thoughtless" shows with no real entertainment value. The question to ask is will this show be one that you will remember years from now, for most reality shows that answer is a resounding "NO". For the producers of the show Eyes, I congratulate you on your originality and I hope you will find success with this creation.
