Really Surprised!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

View MoreThe concept has all the hallmarks of a scorching series but unfortunately the acting falls way short of what is required for a major hit.
View MoreGood TV series. DC once again done it. They managed to create another interesting TV series. Watch it, it's entertaining
View MorePart of the problem, I suppose is that both Smallville and the Christopher Reeve era Superman stories painted Krypton as a high and mysterious civilization far removed from our own. Coming from that, a viewer hopes a show called "Krypton" will transport you to a very different world from ours. But instead, this Krypton feels a lot like Earth. They have bars and drinking and gambling. Their weapons look like ours. They swear like us. They even have a guy wander in off the streets from Detroit. The show doesn't really transport you to another time, either, as you would imagine in a story about Superman's ancestors. Thanks to the writers' injudicious use of time travel, elements from present-day Superman interact freely with his grandfather. I read somewhere that the showrunners weren't intending this to be a prequel. Well, this isn't, and that's too bad, because I think the truly interesting story possibilities lay in that.I give this a 6 because the backdrop of the upper city of Kandor was well done visually. Also, the concept of the House of El as a disgraced, almost extinct family, was pretty interesting, even though not much is done with that after episode 1.
View MoreI can see from some of the other posts, that the more avid superhero groupies don't like this series, but for me I loved it, I won't be rude and slander the people that don't like it, each to their own. I love the characters, and the plot. It's action packed and has cliff hangers to keep me interested. I dont binge watch normally but watched three episodes in a row. Hope this keeps going.
