Why so much hype?

Redundant and unnecessary.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I never heard of Roswell until last year. Revenge was aired in the Netherlands and I got a crush on Nick Wechsler (Kyle in Roswell, Jack in Revenge). I saw that his part in Roswell was big, so wanted to check it out. After watching the pilot, I immediately knew that this was a series I wanted to watch more of. After a few episodes I didn't watch for Nick anymore, but watched for the story itself (and for my favorite couple: Michael and Maria). I connected with the characters and when I saw 3x18 Graduation, I was heartbroken. Now I've bought it on DVD and I'm watching it with my younger sister. I'm also watching other movies and series now, because of Roswell. Think of 'Life Unexpected', 'State of Georgia' and so on. Each time I see one of the cast-members in something else, my heart beats faster. I just love them all (yes even Tess, no not Tess, Emelie). So if you're thinking of watching the series, keep in mind, you'll get addicted and it's normal to think about it for at least a few hours a day. ;)

I would like to start this review out with saying that I really enjoyed watching Roswell. I'm really disappointed that they were only able to do three seasons. My opinion is that the storyline had great potential.First off, I would like to praise all the actors' contribution to the series. I think they managed to portray the characters in a brilliant way. Everyone except Shiri Appleby. I think they could've casted a better actor for the role o Liz. I don't know what it is... But Appleby made me want to stop watching the show during it's second season. It had nothing to do with what Liz did, it was because of how Appleby portrayed Liz. Secondly... What the writers of the show seemed to forget often were their age. The characters were portrayed as old and wise. Liz and Max early decided they were meant to be and they rushed to the alter after they graduated high school, at the age of 18. Yes, their love was beautiful and inspiring, but when you realize they're only about 15-16 years old the first season it soon becomes ridiculous. The fact that they rushed off to the alter at the age of 18 makes the end a bit... ridiculous. They were so young at that time and to think they would stick together after getting out to the "real" world seems a bit naive. So, now I'm done with the biggest issues I had with the show.I would like to praise Katherine Heigl for an EXCELLENT job. She is always excellent as an actress and there was no difference here. I did not always like her character, but she always portrayed Isabel in an amazing way. I would also like to thank the creators and the writers for giving us an amazing show. If only it could've lasted longer...

At first, I thought it's gonna be something like Star Trek or Stargate. I patiently watched the show for 2 seasons to wait for something "exciting", but nope. Just a story of raging teenager hormones and some alien thingy as side dish. Imagine that, the show claims to carry the alien theme, yet the display of anything alien is so little to none. I still give it four instead of one because I was rather "excited" at the end of season 1 where alien enemy is revealed. Oh yeah, finally something alien that's not involved in face sucking or hormone related lover quarrels. But soon I become disappointed at how the story finally reverted back to hormones. At the end of season 2, I just couldn't take it anymore. I opened wikipedia to see how season 3 had in store for me, and yes, further disappointment. Lucky I haven't downloaded anything yet. For teenagers who crave to be "special" (as in dreaming of having special powers or the desire to be "important"), this show is just the thing to help you feel special or important. But to those who wishes to seek sci-fi or alien, my suggestion? move on to the next show. Hell, even V is way better than this.

I am watching this for the first time in 2011/2012. When I initially started watching, I saw till about the 10th episode of the first season, got really bored and stopped. Because I am now comparing it with the TV shows of this age like Fringe and Dexter and this show seemed so amateurish in contrast. The acting was lacking and the alien premise was just that, a premise, while the show was a very slow, silly, and badly directed teen romantic drama.But then I started seeing the rest, and boy, was I surprised. After the initial hiccup, the show really picks up. The acting of everyone in the cast got really better and I really started enjoying it, and I have just now finished seeing it. :-).........The kids/teenagers in this show, all different in their own ways, reminds us of us and our friends, and once the alien aspect of the show starts off, the show gets really exciting.Jason Behr, the kid who plays Max Evans, the male lead, he was just brilliant. Having to mix his greater than life responsibilities (hope you guys read the official storyline), while being just a teenager along with all the alien complications and also having to manage the relationship with the human girl (Shiri Appleby) who he is in love with.I guess this was Katherine Heigle's maiden TV show. She looks exactly like how she looked in Grey's Anatomy, she doesn't seem any younger(in 1998!).She along with Brenden Fehr are the other 2 aliens. The other kids are their friends/love interests and they are one motley bunch. :-)..................The shows keeps going around the story of all the teenagers, and so we never get bored.Finally, the most beautiful thing about this show is that 'it has a HEART'. Its delicate and sweet. :-)................Why aren't they making shows like this anymore........ I was so disappointed to see it end, it was just 3 seasons, they could have so easily done at least 6, the kids were all so young, they had not even reached college................ So many good shows, like Firefly and Alias all had a premature end, so sad..............Go enjoy Roswell. :-)................
