the box was in some what bad condition but its all good.love the show and dident tack long to get to my home DVD Review: Imaginitive and wild ride!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never watched Heroes on TV, but I would hear the hype everyday, so I bought a cheap copy of season one and I completely understand why everyone is going bezerk over this show! The characters are extremely interesting and the plot always keeps me coming back for more. I love the cast and the acting, in my opinion, is top notch! For any Marvel or other comic book fans, this show will definately not disappoint!DVD Review: Kill Me Now
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me just state I currently hate this show, I have and I'm more then positive I always will. I refused to watch the show when it was on tv but I was sick and laid up and "friend" gave me this season and the rest. It was long, repeatative, and quite ridiculous. After the first 2 episodes I often wished that everyone but peter would just die. I only sat through the season because my friend said Zachary Quinto was in there, it took almost 10 episode before he even showed up. This was the first time I have ever watch a show and have not rooted for the good guys.DVD Review: X-Men in the X-Files
Summary: 4 Stars
As a long lover of sci-fi superheroes, it is very rare to find anything all that original anymore. After your first love, and for me it was the X-Men in this genre, most other things look formulaic.
It took me two full episodes to warm to this series. At first, I thought it was entirely derivative, exactly the same plot as the X-Men: powerful mutants learn to use their powers, some are good and some bad, while a fearful public stands more or less in the dark as to the truth. The association of Stan Lee to the production didn't help.
Then I noticed several things that made this better and better in terms of quality. The characters are quite interesting, from Hiro (the naive Manga enthusiast who relishes his status as superhero) to the complicated family, the Petrellis (one a politician who is vacillating between sleaze and conscience and his younger brother, variously seen as a softie loser and the most powerful of them all). The acting is quite believable, if at times middling. And they grow on you as you see alternative futures and the like for them.
Then there is a tongue and cheek joking at the notion behind the entire genre of mutant superheroes, which fans take way way too seriously for their own mental balance. It is a delicate balance, because while avoiding comedy the viewer needs to suspend their disbelief and just enjoy it. This really worked for me because it was contained in the characters, not in stupid sit-com style situations.
Finally, the peeling back of layers of conspiracy and intrigue are worthy of the X-Files. While it is not to everyone's taste, I enjoyed it, particularly in the father of the cheerleader, who rebels and comes out as a good guy if too machiavellian.
Warmly recommended. It is very fun entertainment.
Description of Heroes - Season One
Discover the phenomenon that is sweeping audiences everywhere as Heroes: Season 1 comes to DVD! Experience the suspense, mystery, and electrifying twists as this astonishing series follows seemingly unconnected, ordinary people around the globe who discover they have extraordinary powers. As they come to terms with their unique abilities, their risky decisions will affect the futures of everyone around them .and the world. Join their epic journey in this seven-disc set packed with hours of fascinating and revealing bonus features, including the never-before-aired series premiere from show creator Tim Kring.Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007 season, the Emmy-nominated fantasy Heroes gives viewers blends comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim Kring's premise is deceptively simple - ordinary individuals in locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City, for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panetierre has family issues - serious ones, as the true identity of her adoptive father reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain - Zachary Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary powers like our heroes - and viewers have a riveting series that exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the action and special effects are truly impressive for a network program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revived Battlestar Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set of Heroes: Season One offers a wealth of extras for fans, who may be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website, especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the network version; the main difference is the degree of character development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50 deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers should note that while all of these supplemental features are included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special Web-connectivity elements are not available here. -- Paul Gaita
