Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

emsky333 It is a great idea for a TV show, I absolutely love the stories, however, they are very loosely based (at best) on the objects in the museums. For example, a medieval clay etching, depicting farming in ancient Britain, then goes on to tell a story on crop circles. Or the story of John Smith, a barber who once cut president so and so's hair, who used this phone, that is on show at the museum of telephones... It's kind of funny how irrelevant the objects actually are. It's also another very americanised program, in this I mean that the historical war accounts are somewhat pro-America, and twisted to paint their history in a favourable light. It's bias, annoying, and eyeroll inducing, because more often than not, there is much more to the story. Overall it is a good show, and worth watching if you love history.

philcom-49759 Great show and where to visit when traveling. However, all the information is not always factual and at times misleading. Case in point, crop circles. The comments would have you believe that this was a hoax by two men armed with a rope and a length of 2x4.The fact are that anybody faintly aware of crops circles is that they have not been duplicated, thus far by any known means. Those who study crop circles would know at a glance they were man made. You need not to study crop circles to know two guys with a rope and a 2x4 could do hundreds of crop circles over night or the thousands that occur. Crop circles can be identified by the measured radiation they emit and also the stalk shafts and are bent at the nub (If you try to bend it there it would break not bend ) Strange how we are led to believe in a hoax or believe 'one hoax' explains the thousands of intricate crop circles that occur in many countries yearly.As a Canadian scientist who studied crop circles over the years ; " I do not know how they are created but they are not man made"

sromanowa Enjoy watching the show, but I'd like to point out one research error. In the story you have about solving the mystery of Vermeer's photographic-like paintings, you claim that a scientist revealed the truth about Vermeer using the camera obscura to achieve these results, and that this was done in 2002. If that's true, then how is it that I learned about Vermeer using the camera obscura in an art history class in 1978? Not trying to debunk your show, but thought you should know. Still an interesting story, and I'm not going to stop watching the show.

Film Filmesen First of all, it's a good idea for a show. But sadly it's executed in the most typical American way possible.Take the music, for example. The crappy midi orchestra or whatever sounds exactly like your average reality show. Whatever American show I'm watching nowadays, the same stupid midi orchestra music appears. I'm sick of it.Secondly, the writers. This show's script is awful with a capital A. Wildman is a hero for turning the script into something listenable. It's clearly written by someone pretending to be eloquent, but inserting all kinds of strange adjectives and synonyms just for the sake of it isn't helping. Instead of "honest", they use "veracious". Instead of "harmless", they use "innocuous". Instead of calling New York a big city, they call it a "thriving metropolis". This is fine every now and then, but they do it ALL THE TIME. It makes me sick.Finally, this show is all about plots, "clever ruses", "daring ruses" "shocking tales", "devious plans", "sinister incidents". The writers tells me how I'm supposed to feel about the stories, instead of letting me make my own opinion in peace.I give it 4 because it's about museums and history, and those are awesome. I can't believe that this show has 8 points on IMDb. It says more about the quality of American television than the quality of this show.Regards, Annoyed European
