Fresh and Exciting

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

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

Im a huge fan of Sharlto Copley & Eddie Izzard... to the point where I will watch anything by them. This show has kind of altered this appreciation & enjoyment.I was not expecting Powers to be THIS cringe-worthy. Every sing episode: the dialogue was awful. Something out of a high school film project.Cheesy dialogue, awful acting, and amateurish editing (video & audio - all of season 2, there is heavy large-empty-hallway-type reverb on most conversations taking place outdoors - I thought it was was my download, but I rented the Bluray, and its the same), Lets not forget pointing out the over-exaggerated acting by Susan Heyward (her melodramatic " what the f*** " response to EVERYTHING, during almost all episodes), Adam Godley, Andrew Sensenig, and Eddie Izzard. The CGI is b-grade at best, including the cosplay costumes. However, if you're like me (a sci-fi / fantasy fanatic), you're still going to watch this, and enjoy it, even while being enveloped by cheese.

This show easily became one of my favorite shows. The fact that PlayStation cancelled it means I'll never own another Sony product as long as I live!!! That's how much I serious!y loved this show. Yes the first few episodes were kind of slow...... But my GOD if it didn't feel me in!!!! I pray that Netflix or some other group picks this show up..... I loved the different ways that Walker portrayed himself throughout the series!!!!! I am definitely going for the comic books!!! Please Bring POWERS Back. I don't see why this was even cancelled, it seems that this is the year for good shows to be cancelled, how about keeping the shows people love, the Simpsons didn't get to where it is because it was cut short.

For a Playstation Original it wasn't too bad at all. Sharlto played an excellent Walker/Diamond, his American accent was flawless. The production value was top notch, the effects worked, although they were few and far between. I loved the shots of the White PS4 staying in frame for obvious reasons. The rest of the cast were great, Noah Taylor played a rather intricate character and Eddie Izzard gave David Tennant a run for his money, with regards to portraying an eccentric monster. My only gripe, and this is the main reason why I am writing the review, is was why they cast younger actors for flashback scenes for Walker/Diamond & Johnny Royale, yet Retro Girl was still the same old actress. It didn't make sense at all. But apart from that, I thought this show was worth a second season and I'm glad it received the green light to continue.

With the first episode of Powers I wasn't really sure what to think. It was good, but it seemed fairly obvious that the budget probably wasn't all that big and it has a different direction than the other superhero TV shows, yet I couldn't put my finger on it until about the third episode when it really take offs into being one of the best, if not the best of the superhero shows. First is that it's a real ongoing story, and it's solid, where everything that happens actually matters. People die, characters have both good and evil aspects, and everyone has a real back story that affects the big picture. BUT what probably works better than anything else in Powers is that the characters have complex relationships with each other that seem fairly realistic, or at least genuine in their motivations towards each other with invested interests so that the action carries a lot of weight. Show like Gotham, Arrow, and even Daredevil don't reach this level of effectiveness in their characterization.One thing I would note is that this probably isn't for kids. There are a lot of F bombs, and though it doesn't really have sex, there are a few discussion about people using sex as a way to get what they want. Just FYI.
