Highly Overrated But Still Good
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
I have seen all kind of TV shows and movies. I can say the pretender is the best TV show out of all of them.They should get new episodes like a spin off show or at lest a 3rd movie. But i think both a new movie and a spin off show would be the best thing they could do.TNT did Premiere 2 pretender Movies how ever they did not wrap up the story lines and the movies were more like top episodes of the show then a big movie. So i hope if they make an other movie it would be biger like they did with the 1st x files movie and the new star trek one.Well i went on the internet and look up the pretender and i found a few sites. One of them i found was www.gopetition.com.au It is a petition site and i found one for (A third The Pretender movie, New episodes or a Pretender Mini Series). So i put my name on it. At this time it has a few Signatures on it.
hello, i hope this doesn't give any thing away. seen the pretender many years ago. and just now got the chance to see the program from start to finish. it is like reading a series of books. you just need more. hope more is to follow the Island of the Haunted. answers like: what happened to the cloned Jarod? where is Ethan? what happened to Major Charles, Emily? some form of final ties would be really great. the series has been like an addiction. or a really set of good books. just cant put it down. the series leaves us with the feeling of connection to things that happened in our lives and hopes, dreams that we can also over come the trials of life if we choose. please finish the series. thanks
It has been a while since I have seen the old Pretender TV series. But boy, seeing this movie does bring back some memories. And while it is not as spectacular as I remember, it is still a solid performance by everybody involved. And this wasn't any different.Jarod becomes an FBI agent in search of why his old Centre friend was shot and put into a comatose state. He takes on his old partner and begins to follow clues as to who this 'ghost' is. Some things, like the corny assassination of his friend were a little expected, but it did add to the drama. Everything unfolds and Jarod gets closer to his ultimate truth.In short, it is a nicely done movie sequel to the series. Not great, but hey nobody is perfect. "B-"
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. I, as well, could not believe that NBC would cancel the series, so seeing the movie was a relief. It was good action, lots of twists, and a great thrill ride overall. Unfortunately, if you haven't watched the series, it would be quite difficult to follow the movie although the authors do try to make a summary at the beginning.There is also one major goof: The explosion at the beginning of the movie (and at the end of the last episode of the series) takes place in the subway, the flames and the explosion's force hits the street and throws a parking car to the air. Well, in the last episode of the series (TNT showed it just before the movie), the parked car is on the right side of the street. In the movie, it is shown on the left side of the street. (It could be just the opposite, I watched both scenes a few times to make sure so now I am confused :) ) It seems like a simple mirror-image mistake, but I thought it was quite entertaining...
