Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Calvin Chan At first, I had doubts about this show. I felt..."oh great, another chuck, another super hero where he will never die and will always win".But I watched the show because I had nothing to do, and I always loved Josh Holloway in "Lost". I watched all 13 episodes in one day and I thought the show to be great. It had depth, it had emotions, it had drama, it had action. Everything you would wish to be in a action thriller sci-fi TV show and more. You start to feel and get into the characters after the 1st episode. You root for the relationship between the characters, you get a sense that this scenario is real in the world. It personally drew me into the show after the pilot, and everything that happened was very memorable. The show also gives the audience an idea of how our government works and how they cover certain incidents, it is not "House of Cards" but it gives an idea of the power struggle and the power hungry people within the services. I really don't understand the cancellation of the show though, I understand that people didn't like it very much, giving it a 2/5 rating. But the show actually had depth! It worked great with the other show "Person of Interest" on the same network, it had similar ideas, similar openings, similar cast via Lost. It was just a great show overall and I suggest if you were second guessing to watch it or not. Please do and give it a chance, this is more than just the normal action show/movie. It puts thoughts in your mind into what and how our future would be with our involvement into robotics.
feyipuk One of the things that made Chuck so clever was the way that the main character was still a nerd, just he had special skills to make him more physical. He didn't have years of training or psychological training or regimented life style before he got his edge. Yet it's not the upgrade that made that program, but how it was used to propel the story along.And this is what gets me about Intelligence. The main character is an ex Delta operative, with multiple tours in Iraq; he's been trained to fight, to follow orders, to get the job done. And to make life more interesting, "something" has happened to his wife that became the centre of his life. And they stick a chip in his head that connects him to practically everything electronic, turning him from just another highly trained soldier, into a multi-lingual, crime scene rendering, surveillance analysing genius. As the byline on the poster says "WHAT'S IN HIS HEAD WILL BLOW YOUR MIND": Americas greatest asset! He's brawn with brains (which is more watchable than making a computer genius do Spec Ops training or a commando learn to code). I was looking forward to this being a Strike Back with more technology, but it feels more like the 1996 TV series Sentinel, with heightened senses replaced with a computer senses. Like Hugh Jackman in Swordfish, it's more exciting to have someone who knows how to do the computer stuff and add on the fighting, than trying to teach a soldier how to code, and have tedious coding scenes! The graphics and the sets are pretty great. You get the Eureka crime scene recreation scenes, the ability to view most forms of broadcast information, the ability to decrypt information and have it float around on the screen, look at people and know their names/affiliations/email and all other records.But this is where the premise breaks down for me. He's supposed to be able to access countless government and civilian databases, which in the wake of the Edward Snowden revelations, contain mountains and mountains of information on every individual in the developed world, and yet he can't track one woman who seems to occupy most of his life. The title of the series is Intelligence; the field of work he's in and the computer chip that gives him human plus abilities, yet even with those available to him, he can't do what many series wrap up in one episode. He's still backed up by a team of people who know how the technology works, but lag behind him when it comes to operations (you'd think there'd be some resentment there), and he still goes on missions and follows the orders given too him, which given how much power he has at his disposal seems at odds with how strong willed he seems towards finding his wife. They needed to have a pilot were the chip was implanted, show him learning how to control his ability. He is the only man with his powers, how he learns to filter out all the other noise to become the super spy. My mind isn't blown by what's in his head; instead, you have the clichéd James Bond scenes, where the vital clue has Bluetooth for him to hack and snipers have cameras (something he can lock on to) on their rifles for him to avoid. If you take this formulaic story from one clue to another, then it's a good evenings drama. Yet, sadly, the characters seem so paper thin given the weight of back story they carry, it just doesn't flow like other attempts at integrating computers into humans. I'd like to see it get better and evolve, but I can't see how it can make that leap without a change of direction.
thierry-schweitzer First minute of this series, already completely wrongEmbeded in the image "Pakistan"then the flags are from the Republic of India The jeep is Indian make copy of the jeep Willis and can not be in Pakistan due to tensions between countries. Next scene the 'heros' is in an interrogation room. In a corner there is a small shrine to Ganesh, an Hindouiste god with an elephant head this can not be in Pakistan, it is a Muslim nationThe play from actors is not that goodthe hero character is arrogant, and who can be that bad with people so stop the series there, how can a series call "intelligence" can be so daft !!did not last 5 minutes
mformoviesandmore Generic.That is the best thing I could say about the 25 minutes I could be bothered with.One damn cliché after another.Now, don't get me wrong, if you're 12 years old or looking for something to watch without having to worry about working out the plot whilst drinking a beer - this is for you. Lots of bangs and pretend clever bits dropped in at the usual points.It could be an option in place of CSI:anywhere or Person of Interest.But apart from that ...
