Title: Didn't made me a fan of this genre
Review: Having not seen the TV show, I went and bought the whole first season. I must say, it's not meant to be watched continuously, but I did (my mistake). Imagine watching a 16.5-hour movie where the storyline/s are consolidating into a one non-progressing plot with characters that change but do not grow. The only suspense that kept me rooted to the screen was the question of "who's Sylar's next protagonist-victim?" The psychology of the evil Mother-influence was plumbed out (Sylar's, Nathan's, etc). I wept when they killed the old Hiro, I was hoping that they do the young one. The narration's too cryptic and tiring. If you haven't watched the TV series, watch the compilation in installments. Caveat emptor: it's a 16.5-hour movie that begs you to watch an another 16.5-hour sequel. And, oh yes, the bad guy's still alive.
Is the review positive or negative?
