Brilliant and touching

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

sure this show had some flaws..but come on deserves more than 5.8 ..im giving it a ten...there are way worse shows are highly rated.i think the actor is very good and the story isn't very special but unique.. it does catches u emotionaly in times.the best part is that he isn't as rich as bruce wayne or tony stark. sure it did show a lot of the bad guys was defeated easiy ,,but the ending was amazing and definitely build up suspneces to make the viewer wanting more. i really want this show back. i really can relate to this show. i ended up watching the whole season in couple days.

I do not know why good shows are given a short period of time to make it on a network and other shows that are corny and have very little value are given not only a whole season but two or more seasons. This is a good entertaining show that anyone in the family can watch. In a time when Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Green Hornet, Green Lantern, Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Wonder Woman, Ironman, and now Captain America, I think we have room for another superhero and this one does a great job of defending the American way. Why is the network talking cancellation when the show has barely had a chance to get started. Most shows don't find their groove until the second season when they have time to work out all the bugs and find out what works and what doesn't. I think NBC needs to give The Cape a reprieve and lets see what the show can with a few more shows under its "cape".

Of the last ten years, this show would have to be ranked number one on the worst list. It's just awful. The writing is bad, the acting is bad, the SFX are bad...there is literally nothing good about it. Everyone involved on this project, including those at NBC that approved it, should be ashamed of themselves.The lead character suffers from the standard over-the-top do-gooder syndrome that every television cop and D.A. suffers from. Though he pulls it off in a really bad and campy kind of way, rather than the "I want to puke your so GOOD," kind of way that you see of Eliot Stabler on Law and Order: SVU. Likewise, The Cape's wife...err...widow?...whatever, suffers from the same standard overworked D.A. "oh my god, I can't protect them all" syndrome. The actual cape itself is shaping up to be it's own character and the writers have already gone back on what they originally said. Originally, the cape was stated to be weighted, able to stretch and flex, and was spun from spider silk making it stronger than Kevlar. OK. That's a little far fetched but it is somewhat in the realm of believability. With the episode titled "Kosmo," the cape suddenly grants superhuman strength and is able to rip a closed door off a truck. When was that ability added in? Oh, right...never. It just looked good and the writers suck horribly.Believe this: If you watch this show it will be an hour of your life you will never get back and you are most likely going to miss that hour.

First of all, to all the people who have made snarky remarks about how lame the idea of a magic cape sounds- IT'S NOT MAGIC! If you take the time to actually WATCH the show you'll see that the character learns to use the cape as a weapon. He's called The Cape. If it was a magic cape he'd be The Magic Cape. Criticize the rest of the show all you want, but please stop complaining about the magic cape when it isn't magic. You could even say that the idea of a guy using a cape as a weapon is dumb- just DON'T call it MAGIC! It's not magic!Anyway, this is truly a remarkable show. Only two episodes have aired so far, so the acting is still finding its footing, but from what I've seen this is definitely a show worth sticking with. The character Vince Faraday is entertaining. His back story is cool. The origin of The Cape character is creative. David Lyons is an excellent choice to play the character and everything works in harmony with him on this show.The soundtrack is one of my favorite parts of this show. I'm really glad they decided to write their own scores for this- it makes the show feel as full as a full-length film. I can see an award for best original score coming sometime in thus show's future.I'm going to stick with this show for as long as it runs- and I'm betting it's going to run for quite a while. Amidst endless crime shows and dreary medical shows, The Cape is one of those rare diamonds you find in the dust. Please, NBC, do yourselves a favor and keep this show for as long as you can!
