    I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

    Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

    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.

    The concept has all the hallmarks of a scorching series but unfortunately the acting falls way short of what is required for a major hit.

    Yes, we've seen many prequel shows/movies and I'm enjoying this one just as much. After all, they would make prequels if there wasn't a demand for them.While we've seen/read many stories about Krypton's past, this delves head first into a society of inclusive houses and the oppressed unranked civilians -- almost like a dictatorship, which is very unbecoming of what is an advances society. With each episode the plot gets deeper, revealing secrets.I find the acting good and the visuals excellent.

    Krypton had so many chances for good story lines and interesting plots. And despite rushing the actors through moments containing genuine feeling, then dragging everyone slowly back and forth amongst horribly made rocks in the fake snow (like you are trying to follow this sentence), while we tried to care about Seg. The forbearer of our Superman Kal-El. First, I tried to like everyone else less, knowing that he was the star and the "good guy." Then I tried to like any qualities about him at all. Unfortunately, the writers made him too irritating, too dangerous and reckless with the lives of his friends, and so slow to catch on to things that I was concerned he might have brain damage from so much fighting.I'm aware that he has to be reckless to keep the action moving along, but Seg has almost schizophrenic bounces from smart to "too stupid to live." I am a mild, non-violent person, but several times I urged characters (aloud) to "Shoot him! Shoot him NOW!" while watching the show, to save us all from further torture.Seg's disregard for the dangers of defying various authorities (including continuing to steal a vehicle which led to his mother's death), and wishy-washy indecision about a career felt more like the problems of a human 13 year old male, so his obvious age and marriage/relationship dilemmas were confusing. (Plus he's a con man that smiles while he spends his friend's money without permission. I considered tv-shooting him myself.)The most disappointing thing was how Seg treated Doctor Strange, even after the evidence he provided, he was dismissed.Unfortunately, the writers can't be blamed for everything. The actor playing Seg is nearly always wooden and charisma free. I just don't feel any sincerity except when he says he's leaving. Some of the early episodes seemed to have inexperienced directors. Maybe not, but I believe that a few from my favorite shows could have made Krypton an alien world with interesting people and cultures and some real feelings. I was really hoping for some of that.I awarded Krypton 3 Stars. I started with 5, then deducted 2 for the times I really-really wanted to "off" the star character and leave him next to a papier-mache rock in the sad snow. I stopped watching the series after episode 7, I think.

    I have just binge watched the first 10 episodes (Season 1). As a big fan of SciFi in all its forms it was an interesting take on a Legend i grew up with from the late Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Brandon Routh & now Henry Cavill. To take up a story that pre dates this Legend of a character was a brave creation indeed. There are the die hard fans who have slated this in its Plot, Characters & acting, they are as entitled as anyone else to their opinion. Well here is mine!Well done, you have taken something that had a singular perspective, "Superman saves the world" & made it that MANY people save the world, there are twists & turns all the way through it to keep you itching for the next episode. You have shown what Krypton was like in your perspective, unlike the films which spent a max of 3 minutes explaining and showing the planet dying, we get to see the depth of what its government stoops to, not much unlike our own lol. The main plot being that Braniac is coming, a character any DC fan knows has always lurked in the back ground and now has his very own story.The acting was actually very well done, each character fitted their part well, the surprise appearance of General Zod did throw me a curve ball trying to figure out how that came about, and the only thing i did feel was not the best plot twist & stolen right from Star Wars is that the main character Seg El is Zod's Father & originally from the house of El, that is about the only thing i think they could have maybe not included into this well done series. Maybe Zod could have just travelled back in time to achieve his goal rather than throwing in that bit of a daft twist so much like Luke & Darth Vader.The CGI & effects are well done & i hope that the 2nd season gets the go ahead.Remember this, its a programme, its not factual, its a take/an angle on someone's perspective on how they saw Krypton before Superman was even born.Love it or Hate it, or be in-between, but if you have any love for SciFi then i suggest you struggle through or thoroughly enjoy the 1st season.Lastly, the ending was a little surprising but could be predicted from episode 7, at least it gives a beginning to the next season & the hope the next season has much the same as the 1st..
