Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Please don't spend money on this.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I have been watching Mythbusters from the very beginning and have usually enjoyed a lot. But now when Adam and Jamie have retired, this serie continues with very weak and unprofessional manner. Why an Earth the name is still Mythbusters? It is wrong, WRONG. Please respect Adam and Jamie and change the name to New Mythbusters or something. I still keep my ten stars to respect the original Mythbusters.

I am completely against the popular vote here when I say this but this show is crap.Let me outline for you an episode - Take one of the most ridiculous things you've seen through another form of medium (eg. A bamboo cannon from Star Trek) and these idiots go "lets see if it works" err...to make a cannon you'll need a back to make sure that it doesn't blow out the other side(and I'm no scientist). No surprise on that episode - it didn't work. The show started out with a GREAT premise - finding folklore such as being buried alive and putting that to the test was a MUCH more interesting premise. Now its "Lets see if a car can blow up - after being buried by a bulldozer - with enough force to take the bulldozer out and keep the people in the car alive. Its worth a shot." (From The Green Hornet...) RIIGHT. Okay, whatever you say, Bro.To watch more than one episode in one sitting is a chore for me. I easily get sick of it after just one episode. My father is a fan and his reasoning - "you get to see them blow stuff up with science." If I had known that a selling point like that is what gets people into shows on the Discovery Channel than its a channel I can no longer be bothered with - especially if its educational.Overall I'm not going to judge if you are a fan - particularly if you're a fan of their later episodes but for me I just can't be bothered.

The premise of the show is well documented. Two special effects experts and their staff take on common myths (and many not so common) and subject them to the scientific method.The principals are all personable and obviously enjoy this work. That is important to the success of the show. Without their enthusiasm some of the things they film could be quite dry.Whether exploring household myths such as whether it is safe to eat a piece of food that drops on the floor, or exploring tactics used in movies, you'll learn a lot and have fun doing it.Highly recommended show.

Mythbusters takes ordinary facts or stories and sets out to prove them. Fair enough good idea.But I have to say, I begin to dislike this series when it begins to spoil movie stunts. OK of course they're not going to work, they're from movies! It does ruin some stunts by disproving them but some of the results are good to see. The guys doing it clearly know what they're doing and some of their experiments produce interesting results, the 'bullet in the crotch' for example. At best, a mediocre 5 out of 10. Sorry I couldn't give it more, after all it is an original idea that SHOULD work but unfortunately after seeing a few episodes at a friends, I'm afraid the show doesn't work for me. Sorry if I have offended anyone in the process of this review.
