Heroes is back tonight in the US, so that means it wont be long before it airs over here in the UK. Though I have to say, I was quite disappointed with volume 3. Perhaps it was the fact that Zachary Quinto’s character (Sylar) couldn’t decide if he was good or bad.
Or maybe it is how irritating Hayden Panettiere’s character, Claire, has become – constantly moaning and whining about everything. The most annoying thing about it all is that you know she can’t be killed. Even after she had lost her powers and died – she still came back from the dead. Maybe they need a new slogan? ‘Kill the cheerleader, save the show‘. But that’s just my opinion.
But with that all said and done, I am still actually looking forward to Volume 4. I just hope it gets a lot better than it has been.
I haven’t really got around to posting anything for quite a while, so feeling the need to post something – even if it has been floating around the internet since November – I thought I would post this 4-minute sneak peak of the next Futurama film, set to be released towards the end of March. It’s going to be great – I can’t wait
Good news everyone! Futurama has officially returned this week with its direct-to-DVD movie, which was released over in the US on Tuesday November 27th. Unfortunately, there is no release date set for the UK as of yet – which is annoying considering this is a monumental event and I am sure most, if not all, Futurama fans would agree: something this big should have been released globally, not just in the US.
The good news is, I’ve been reading a lot of good reviews on the film and thankfully it sounds like it’s way better than the Simpson’s movie which as I stated earlier here, seemed to tie things up a little to quickly towards the end. So far from what I’ve read it sounds like the Futurama movie doesn’t do that at all and actually has a very good, structured plot to go with it.
I have to say, Futurama is my favourite out of the two shows; and if the Futurama movie didn’t do so well, I think I would start to lose faith in Matt Groening. The Simpson’s is good, don’t get me wrong, I am just more of a sci-fi geek.
The only bad thing I’ve actually heard is that a lot of the humour is based on established themes and inside-jokes, so someone not familiar with the Futurama universe might not pick up on some of the jokes, but for me a Futurama addict, this doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all, as it will make it just that much more enjoyable.
