I love this movie so much

Dreadfully Boring

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

So after deciding I'd had enough of the "reality TV" garbage on offer I was going through a friends DVD collection to see what he had worth watching and found this Yes OK it wasn't as good as the original but it beat what was on offer otherwise by season 2 I was getting into it and had gotten to ep10 yay cliffhanger just as well I had the DVD's and din't need to wait But NO to surprise that was it WTF where the hell is season 3 completely peeved off now was looking forward to a big battle and humans finally overcoming the V I SO FRICKEN HATE when they can a show and leave us hanging thanks for nothing and F U

I've just watched the first season of V (2009/11) on DVD and I have to say I am quite disappointed. I remember the big and attractive publicity not so long ago, although I failed to spot the show when it was broadcast. I can realize now I didn't miss that much. Critical reviews (notably the insightful one by AlefVeld from London) on IMDb have made strong points as regards plot holes, miscast players and illogic scenarios and development. I think what people who dislike this remake of V regret is just the lack of what made it a likable show in the eighties: I remember the national shock and thrill when it was aired in Spain in 1985. Now, in the 2009 version flaws are apparent after 30 minutes watching into the first episode, and your fears are totally fulfilled later. Key questions are never answered; for one thing, what's their wicked "plan"?, the resistance seems to be more deadly and unethical than the aliens. I particularly resent this: highlights are weak, scarce and scattered, thereby taking out all the promised fun. And the worse comes to the worst: there is no sense of humor at all, you can only hear one witty wisecrack on account of the weird situation in the whole of the 12 episodes. Miss Baccarin's performance was the only thing that really kept me watching; her line "skin them!" is priceless. The other characters are so dull and the development is so low-intensity that you nearly want the aliens to stop fooling around and start wreaking havoc on earth, which sadly never happens. Millions of light-years far from it. To sum up, the stingily doled out good stuff doesn't make up for the lack of story and action. What a pity.

I was very young when I watched the original "V" on the telly. I loved it back then, the aliens, lizards, eating the mice. So, when I discovered there was to be a remake of the old series, I was worried and excited at the same time. I was not disappointed about season 1 . It was not aired in my country, so had to get the DVD's. Glad I did, I could not stop watching. There is so much going on, and they don't seem to get any closer at defeating the enemy, it is all very surprising. Liked the cast, decent acting and some familiar faces in guest stars. It is not really sci-fi with space batles, beam me up stuff, but that might be why I like it. My wife found it to be a bit slow near the end (I disagree). Only thing I did not really like was the last character introduced in "Red Sky"(Season 1). There seems to be no reason for this woman to be there (just another "what the hey" moment). Season two starts a bit slow, but picks up speed halfway. It all gets very very exciting.... new plot lines are introduced, more action... and then it ends. It seems they could have made a nice finish with just four or so more episodes, but there are no more... Huge anticlimax. But overall, a very good show! Hope they consider making a short season three... television movie... anything to end this properly.

I liked original 'V' series so I had to watch this one. I was disappointed, very disappointed. They changed many things from the original idea plus they just copied the ideas from similar TV shows that were released earlier. I mean 'Dark Skies' (1997), 'Earth: Final Conflict' (1997-2002), 'The 4400' (2004-2007) and 'Invasion' (2005).The acting was also bad. Elizabeth Mitchell never impressed me much as an actress and this series still can't prove that she is a good actress. Other actors and actresses weren't good as well. Too bad, they ruined a great idea.Watch original 'V' series or at least TV shows I mentioned before instead of wasting your precious time with this one!!!
