I'll tell you why so serious

hyped garbage

Great Film overall

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I look forward to this fun and intriguing TV show every single week. I love the actors, the story, the atmosphere, even the costumes. It's very much like the old silver screen horror flicks, but contemporary enough to avoid becoming square. The balance of humor and drama is perfect so that it's never truly sad. I don't watch scary shows or movies because I want a good cry. Many so-called horror shows today are filled with too much tragedy. And though there are violent scenes in Jekyll and Hyde, it's not a gore fest with unnecessary blood bathes. Kudos to ITV for making such an grand production. I hope Jekyll and Hyde continues on for years to come.

High production values, competent acting talent, rich period settings, exotic locations and a rollicking yarn. I'm very impressed by this "boy's own" style version of Jekyll and Hyde on ITV1. What concerned me was the degree of well-designed and constructed horror at this early time of day (7pm) on a Sunday. My first impression was that it's a combination of Sherlock (period setting), Buffy (monsters and some of the snappy dialogue) and The Incredible Hulk (Hyde). Overall I've been very impressed so far but, if I were ITV, I'd shift it back to the watershed.Nice to see "Abbey" from Misfits looking gorgeous and sophisticated in this. She looks great in evening wear. I have to say that the acting talent is very good throughout. Some roles could be regarded as a little "hammy", but that fits with the genre.

This is going to be a very intriguing and watchable series. After the first part I was left suitably impressed. They've managed to make a dark, intriguing, rather exciting series.I'm not sure after drawing over 500 complaints after its first episode that it will remain in the 6.30 Sunday teatime slot for long, but with over 3.15 million viewers who knows? I'll certainly be tuning in to watch.Rather good special effects, excellent cinematography, it's a very slickly produced show. The monsters, transformation scenes were really well done.I like the premise of the story, Robert Jekyll is given a back story, he has a love interest, he has a powerful adversary in Sir Roger Bulstrode.Tom Bateman was excellent in the lead role, very strong performance, Richard E.Grant it goes without saying is a fantastic actor, good at playing the bad guy, he's not long played Doctor Simeon, an effective adversary for the Doctor.I am going to enjoy this, old school viewing 8/10

There is no disputing taste. To me the first episode was HORRIBLE! No acting talent spotted, the scenes are cut in hiccups, no credibility to the start of the storyline. Way too many cinematographic styles mixed / unmatched. It almost seems as if several opinions about style are presented all at once in episode 1.A good effort for wardrobes & locations but that could not save the cliché's nor this disastrous waste of money. It is surprising to me that this rolled to the shores from the U.K. Several of the actors performed much better in other productions UNLESS you where the main villain in Hudson Hawk.Personally I would be ashamed to put it on my resume.
