Beautiful, moving film.

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

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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

One day this programme might be unearthed as a classic, although I would not hold my breath. I think the BBC has buried this deep in the North Sea.This series had a great pedigree. From the makers of Life on Mars. It has Adrian Lester, the star of Hustle. It took a pitch and phrasings from the Channel 4 archaeological show, Time Team. It was going to add lashings of Indiana Jones intrigue and adventure with a battle of wits and treasure with a rival who was a better funded archaeologist. Lester described the show as CSI meets Indiana Jones.What seemed like a great pitch for a TV adventure show came on screen as a damp squib. Julie Graham who played Dr Magwilde had all the charisma of a corpse. Hugh Bonneville, playing Professor 'Dolly' Parton a character who likes a drink, probably wished he just stayed in the pub. Adrian Lester must have thought he should just go back to Hustle.The first episode which dealt with a controversial storyline of modern day Knight Templars unleashing their own race war highlighted some of the absurdities of this show. Something did not gel and what was supposed to be hip and exciting became turgid, dull, dreadful with actors speaking horrible lines.

I have noticed a lot of harsh reviews for this show, and I think most of them are unfair. I have seen A LOT of movies and T.V shows, some good, some bad, and some so bad they were good. I would put Bonekickers in the good category. I think that maybe he Brits have taken to criticizing this show a lot harshly because it is their country being represented, but sometimes to truly enjoy the concept of a show you have to open your mind and not judge based on your knowledge. I have seen plenty of good T.V shows end after one season because a few people had nothing but nasty things to say about it, and frankly it is not fair to those people who enjoyed it. That being said, every one has the right to their own opinion, but sometimes a bad opinion spoken loudly enough will prevent someone from trying something they otherwise would have enjoyed. Please keep that in mind when writing your reviews.

Having a moment to spare, I just thought I'd add something to the various comments about 'Bonekickers', even the though the show itself is ancient history now (weak pun intended).I was personally connected with the show, right from its very inception, although I didn't actually work on it. The original idea was great fun, the pitch being to take 'Time Team' and turn it into an adventure show. I read the (unused) pilot script - it was very entertaining, with lavish historical recreations, devilish booby traps to imperil our heroes, OTT villains, and some ingenious uses of history, all delivered with a real sense of fun. What really spoiled the show was the realities of TV production. It's a very, very long way from saying "hey, I've got a great idea for a show!" to getting that show broadcast, and on the journey 'Bonekickers' lost its way. It's a real shame because it could have been (and SHOULD have been) a great deal better than it turned out.I'm glad at least a few people enjoyed it - and for those who hated it, I can only say that I think you (like me) would have much preferred the original concept for the show that now, sadly, will never see the light of day. But hey, that's show biz. Even Stanley Kubrick screwed up with 'Eyes Wide Shut' - it can happen to the best of them!(BTW, my star rating is NOT for the show that was made, but for the show that I saw in my imagination when I read the unused pilot script.)

There are too many uptight and unhappy people watching British TV these days! Previous comments from people complain about historical inaccuracies, poor acting and some people had the nerve to use their personal ideologies to slate this show. Firstly, I want to address the acting, anyone who complains about the acting really needs to think about what they are saying, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if these people who were complaining were actually Eastenders or Hollyoaks fans, shows which are famous for their Oscar worthy performances, I've seen better acting at a fitba match than those two shows! The acting is neither up nor down in Bonekickers, there is no obvious discrepancies in the acting, nor is there anything to get too excited about! The plot is interesting, the story, however, is not told well. CGI is not exactly blockbuster material, but then the show itself does not require it to be so, I mean why would we need state of the art CGI on an archaeological/dramatic TV show? Do we want the dirty items uncovered to look spectacular, or realistic? Historical inaccuracies are not a major issue when you consider that the show is not meant to be taken seriously. If you are wanting solid archaeological and historical fact then watch Time Team, don't complain about the fact the show is not Time Team! The show is meant to be fun, and interesting, comical and dramatic, did it deliver? Yes it did, I watched it from start to finish, and was not disappointed, nor was I excited. It was a darn site better than watching some of the drivel that is on TV just now!
