Have you ever seen an actor in another show and thought they were amazing in how they developed and made that character believable? Well that is how I came across Heroes Reborn. I love Robbie Kay but I am sad to say that as much as I loved him in Once Upon A Time as Peter Pan I felt that this show (not just for his character but most) were just filling in cliche's, he's the teenager who starts dating his friends ex girlfriend, the two parents hell bent on revenge but one finally having a conscience, conspiracy theories...I just felt like I was watching a show that I had seen multiple times but just new actors in the roles. I have seen the original Heroes and thought it wasn't to bad so when I saw my favourite actor was a big role I really wanted to enjoy this new season but sadly it was a reboot that in no way did any justice.

View MoreWhat to say really.If you saw Heroes, you will want to see this simply because you grew with the other characters and wish to see the show continue.That said...Think of Terminator 2,3,4This show was best left as an "OMG I HOPE IT HAPPENS!!!" Fan fantasy idea. It starts off slow, they try to "mix it up" and leave MASSIVE holes for a show that took PAINSTAKING EFFORTS to fill in backstories in it's initial release. Why is Matt Parkman now a bad guy ? Well, let's give 30 seconds of dialog and let that sufficeThe powers have gone down hill....I CAN CONTROL A DARK...THING!!! It can hold people and....umm.....stop other powers, kill electricity,etc,etc.....LOOK! I am mist.....Look, I am invisible...Look I can blah,blah,blah. I mean, I look back at Heroes and I remember the kid Claire had a thing for that could breath under water...SILLY power for that show, but the writers took time to make it interesting, useful and then killed the guy :)The writing suffered. I am assuming at least 5 people either could not be afforded or wanted nothing to do with it. I mean, Sylar this, Sylar that, but no Sylar. Claire this, Claire that, OH, She died ! No, she is missing, Wait...she will be in the next season...that is cancelled.They started off much the same way, opening the door for a plethora of episodes, but then that whole virtual end just went into the realm of some pretty bad writing REALLY FAST!Now, if you say Heroes and feel that it was SO GOOD you have to watch Heroes Reborn, be ready for a let down. The last 3 episodes were a "Sheesh, I have to watch them just in-case" scenario. I was no longer looking forward to watching it.So, be warned :)
... View MoreHeroes Reborn.Almost ten years after the first season of the original "Heroes" premiered, Heroes was back with "Heroes Reborn". It became instantly clear that the show's writers had to find a delicate balance between the expectations of fans of the original show and the need to move on in order to tell a fresh and new story.Overall, they did *quite* succeed. I liked their handling of the original characters. It was lovely to see Hiro Nakamura again, this time as a mature "former master of time and space" who ended up having a family. Matt Parkman's turn to the dark side made sense since the character has always been a bit of a opportunist, putting his own safety and that of his family above everything else (as first hinted in "Five Years Gone", the best-rated "Heroes" episode on this very side). Mohinder Soresh got a fitting role, given the limited availability of the actor. The season's central story revolved around Claire Bennett, which wasn't a bad idea but felt a bit unsatisfactory due to the absence of Hayden Panettiere. I felt it would have been beneficial if the other main protagonist of the original series, Peter Petrelli, would have had a role of some kind (even without an actual physical appearance by Milo Ventimiglia). This became especially obvious when Angela Petrelli showed up yet Peter remained unmentioned.Anyway, the season/volume/series had a few quite problems, which became most obvious in early episodes. One main problem was the Carlos storyline, which just didn't pick up speed and slowed down the whole series. Whenever an episode was gaining momentum, it was all destroyed by a cut to the Carlos storyline. Another problem of the early episodes were Luke/Joanne, who jumped back and forth overly artificial and unearned melodrama and one-dimensional villainy. Joanne, especially, was a low point for the series. Another lacking part was, which was extremely disappointing after the original "Heroes", the music. The musical soundtrack was almost completely absent in many episodes, after "Heroes" was known as a series with a memorable score underlying a great majority of an episode. There were lots of scenes in the original "Heroes" that were greatly elevated by the music which would have felt awkward otherwise. In "Heroes Reborn", without the support of the music, a lot of the same scenes did indeed feel extremely awkward, in some parts even amateurish. Music is a key factor for some shows and "Reborn" unwisely abandoned the strong supporting score of its predecessor. All of those problems remained throughout the series, although they got considerably better - starting with the return of Hiro Nakamura and the travel back to the Odessa Summit. There might be some minor logical holes, but "Heroes" was never that much about logic as it was about a an experience, twists and a general spirit of interconnected fates. Objectively, I'd rate "Heroes Reborn" with an 7/10. In light of Quentin'S final speech and some nostalgia with Wendy and Lisa's signature theme for the original "Heroes" and a beautiful final montage, I'll give it a very generous 8/10.Because at the end of the day, despite a certain disappointment and missed chances, I'm still glad we were given "Heroes Reborn". Volume Rating of the "Heroes" Saga:1.) Volume One: Genesis (9,5/10) 2.) Volume Four: Fugitives (8/10) 3.) Volume Two: Generations (7,5/10) 4.) Volume: Heroes Reborn (7/10) 5.) Volume Three: Villains (6,5/10) 6.) Volume Five: Redemption (6/10)

(by the way his immortal daughter is dead because of delivery (giving birth).

He teleports himself and his girlfriend to Paris (in front of Eiffel Tower) from USA, they want to enjoy the view of Paris on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Instead of teleporting himself and his friend to the Eiffel Tower, he is lining up at the entrance of the Tower. He is upset because he is not allowed to go into the Tower!!!...and so many nonsenses and contradictions that the film is full of..!!
