Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

missaudreymcf I really love John barrowman and the gayness did not disappoint

probe_78 This is how I see Torchwood, your opinion may differ, so if you have not seen it, but the premise is interesting, give it a go. As many have said the seconds serial (or season or whatever) is better than first. In my opinion, not much, but still better.Good:Some scripts were clever and dealt with matters not seen too often. E.g. much hated second episode of series 1. Acting is mostly good.Largest flaws IMO:Character development is next to nill. OK, the one character changes to glorified zombie, so he cannot drink or have sex, but even that forgotten after one episode. Also, Gwens act of infidelity was forgotten and it was totally meaningless to whole series.Scripts try to be dark and adult, but because writers don't want to change characters, scripts remain shallow. There are dark and huge revelation (e.g. in Adrift), but those affect nothing, so drama is mostly lost.Scripts have some large plot holes, which may annoy watchers.Characters don't act coherently. Instead of character growth which happens during episodes of series, character demeanor changes randomly between episodes.Nothing characters do have any long term consequences. (ok this is a kind of lie. There are actually one or two cases where something has consequences, mainly Owens resurrection, but even that is flattened by the fact he is practically normal human until his real death.)Absence of series long story arcs.

hoytyhoyty Torchwood is such a disappointment.The first series had about 4 good episodes.Here they are:Everything Changes - because it's the first ep and They Keep Killing Suzie depends on it.Ghost Machine - this gave me hope that most of the series might be like this episode. But it wasn't.Countrycide - very clever I thought, particularly as the output turned out NOT to be a spacey/alien thing, it was homicidal yokels instead. Pure slipstream, and again it promised great things. These great things never arrived.They Keep Killing Suzie - really had me gripped and I thought the plot was rather clever. But, like The Talons Of Weng Chiang was for Doctor Who, it was the last good Torchwood episode ever made.Everything that followed. Every single episode. Every season. Was pure, atrocious crap.In answer to the homophobes... you don't need to be homophobic to be gratingly annoyed by all the gay and bisexual filler. Apart from just an undue drawing of attention to sex - oooh it must be an edgy series! it's got bottoms in it! - it's a throwback to the 70's:Remember in the 70's, how there was this 'gay futurism'? Robert Heinlein had all his characters (in his crap, crap stories) having sex with each other regardless of gender or familial status. Hardcore porn producers (of some quality work too!) were convinced that hardcore sex scenes would make their way in common into mainstream movies. And quite a few porn titles (on dear old VHS and 8mm) had some sexual interaction between males even if the title was a gay movie or not.And you know why? BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS ON COCAINE.Coke was uber plentiful and not super-illegal in the 70's, it explains an awful lot about that era (I do love the 70's, don't get me wrong, it's probably my favourite era - and also when the only top-notch Doctor Who's were made, concluding with Season 14).Russell T Davies is gay. Good for him. Nobody seems to have convinced him that most of the world's population isn't. It's roughly 10% of any given population, go look at the stats. So yes there is a good chance that a family member, a friend, somebody you work with, is gay. A sprinkling among the populace.So unless you are for some reason focusing on gay characters, for plot or dramatical reasons - ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WILL BE GAY. NOT EVERYBODY. And bixsexuality among males is even rarer than male homosexuality, but in the Heinlein-RTDverse apparently it's every man. And woman. And alien. My gods what an insult to gays everywhere - according to Russell it really is a choice after all, folks.Now that's out of the way, the stories.There is nothing to say about them. They start out interesting, rapidly go nowhere, everyone has sex with everyone else, and then the deus-ex-machina is trotted out with a forced depressing ending so they can rubber stamp it as 'edgy'.Torchwood is just a pile of rubbish, and I can't believe it survived the 2nd season.

mtong95003 Please go back to Wales for the next season. Re-establish the Hub and get on with it. So much better in the UK> Especially Wales. Please think about it. The attraction to the series is the difference from the U.S and Briton. Wales is where my family came from and I love seeing the scenes from there. We see America all the time. A BBC production is much more interesting when filmed abroad. We see America all the time. The hub was magical and now they are just running from place to place. I miss the old characters but if you can't bring them back at least take us home to Cardiff. This is a great show, I watched 4 seasons in a row. It was wonderful, until we arrived in the U.S. Most BBC shows are filmed in England now you finally have a show filmed in my grandparents homeland and you come to the U.S. please film the next season in the U.k. Pleas.
