After five years,Heroeshas been resurrected, well, Reborn, and its easy to understand exactly why.
SinceHeroeshas been off the air, superhero properties exploded on film and TV, taking over pop culture.
After watching the premiere, do I think thats possible?
First of all, I think the show presented a perfect balance of new and old tonight.
HRG was a fan favorite and consistently the most intriguing character onHeroes.
One of our other new protagonists, Tommy, is another bright spot in this premiere.
He basically serves as a Peter Petrelli surrogate, an Evo that will eventually save the world.
Giving HRG a spastic partner could lead to some good comedic relief moments.
The similarities dont stop there.
Miko, or Katana Girl, basically serves as a Hiro stand-in.
The video game sequences, though creative, unfortunately fall flat due to corny graphics.
On the villain end, things dont look as cut and copied from the original.
Honestly, Im surprised at how comfortableHeroes Rebornfeels after five years.
HopefullyHeroes Rebornstays on track.
Heroes Reborn begins as if the bomb from the end of season one actually went off.
Speaking of the costumed hero stuff, those fight scenes could use work.Daredevilmakes that fight look like childs play.
Tommy is caught reading some 9thWonder Comics.
No Nissan Versas in the first episode, thank god.
The Haitian appears briefly, but is killed after attacking HRG, on HRGs own orders.
Though HRG believes Claire died at the Summit, a document is discovered that shows that Claire was absent.
Her disappearance looks to be a major mystery.
Hmm, who else could do that?
Tommy mentions that he doesnt know the identity of his father.
Two hours is too long forHeroes Reborn.
I was losing patience during hour two.
Im sorry, but doesnt Molly Walker seem too old?
Let me reiterate, the special effects are baaaaad.
