The Cape Audience Reviews

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
stuntdriver1 Without going into a lengthy summary & review, I very much enjoyed this program. It had good characters, a good plot & most of all, it was entertaining. I don't watch a lot of network TV anymore. The only series I watch are a few on CBS. The problem is that every time I get interested in a show on NBC, it gets canceled. Some of the best shows that NBC has had on recently (5-7 yrs) like "Life", "My Name is Earl" & "The Cape" have all been canceled. I'm not sure what NBC is trying to do. The only time I watch NBC now is for the Nightly News & Sunday Night Football. I enjoyed the pilot of "Revolution", but I'm somewhat reluctant to get interested in it knowing that NBC will most likely cancel it within or at the end of it's first season. Sorry, I guess I had more to say than I realized. (I thought I saw David Lyons (The Cape) briefly as a villain in the pilot of "Revolution." This could be interesting.)
justifythegame This show seems like its written by a 12 year old. Its a miracle how it got the green light. As far as superhero shows/movies are concerned, it literally follows every single cliché in the book. Watching the pilot alone you could predict easily what would happen next. There is nothing original in this series. Some of the acting is also questionable but thats the least of the shows problems.What I am utterly confused about is how NBC replaced Heroes with this show. While Heroes might have had its problems, it wasn't unwatchable like this show. These networks are now much more a business than they ever were. Unless their shows rank at the very top in terms of viewers they are prepared to can any show regardless of how good a series is. Replacing a good series with a much worse series is not going to improve their ratings unless they are committed to the preteen demographic.
ab04792 Dear NBC, The best thing about this show is the timeless beauty of Summer Glau. That being said, this reminds me of "GI Joe : The Rise of Cobra", plenty of talent but it doesn't hit the spot. It's too childish for the older people, yet it comes on too late for the kids to enjoy. Swap the time slot with "Chuck" and your ratings may increase...for both shows. I know it's time to renew contracts and call it quits for some shows but don't get too hasty and jump the gun. Take some surveys on college campuses, various forums on the web and even the NBC main site. Run a quick ad telling the people to pick their next favorite show. You'll get your answer sure enough.I'm sure someone high up is happy about the originality factor of the show when no other network is trying it. But, maybe there was a reason that nobody else was trying it. For the readers of this post, if you're not sure about whether or not this show is for you give it at least 30 minutes of your attention, then decide if it's your cup of tea.
Caleb Stevens I'm not a fan of comics or superheroes at all. However, I really like well made Batman things. I don't watch NBC too often so I didn't see any advertising for this. I was lucky to stumble upon it when I was chatting with a guy and his cousin (Eric Micheal Cole) is going to be in the episode "Scales on a Train" on January 24th. So, I watched the premiere and was pleasantly surprised. However, you have to be paying attention during this TV show because it moves very fast and has no unnecessary scenes. Some of the dialog can be very cheesy which gets really annoying. I love the creative idea of The Carnival of Crime and it adds a whole new element to the story. This is something that you'll have to watch from the start so you know why he has the cape and how he got the cape. Fortunately, the "Pilot" is available as a free download on iTunes. You don't have to like superheroes/comics to like this. Not everybody will enjoy this series but it has loads of potential. Just try to ignore the cheesy dialog and this series can be very enjoyable.
