Advantages: Excellent storyline and special effects, Well developed characters
Disadvantages: Tendency to rabble, nationalist humour

...for the past few years. Ultimate force plays well of the auora of mystery that surrounds the SAS. Although the dialouge does start to drift into the usual technical-jargon banter that occurs during this genre of television it more than makes up for it with its stunning special effects and deeply involved storyline that hooks in the viewer right from the start. A must for fans of any action or sci-fi series produced in the past or any ex-millitary ...

Advantages: The whole season in one set! Thrilling and exciting
Disadvantages: Waiting for Season 5

To buy this DVD collection you must have seen Season 3 and it takes off with a bang! The episodes are thrilling and all relate to one another building up to a season that ends in a super climax. Clark's character develops even more than in previous seasons and the introduction of Lois Lane may leave some Superman fans bemused, but she lifts the action packed season to another level. The episodes gives you the everything from action, mystery, romance, ...
...the DVD set are average with commentary for only three episodes and the only problem with the DVD set is the audio encryption is 2.0 and should really be 5.1, especially for the small moments of high packed action. This though, does not make me enjoy such an excellent DVD set any less and leaves me waiting for Season 5. It is definitely worth the buy for all Superman fans and especially those who enjoy the TV series. ... Read review

...reasons to get this: Superman the Movie (with the extra footage never before seen) and Superman II (the Richard Donner Cut). Bonus Disc: If you had a taste for watching a bit of Superman one afternoon, you won't by the end of this: It's cram-packed with all kinds of documentaries, early versions of Superman the B&W TV series (which really looks pre-historic now), and some cartoons. Enough to keep you busy all afternoon and actually be bored of ...
...Movie: The never before seen footage makes you wonder why they cut it from the original, as there are some clever special effects showing that Superman is extreme temperature resistant. Perhaps the running time was an issue, however, for one who's seen Superman a thousand times, the extra footage will not dissapoint. Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut: This is where over half the film has been remade with recently found footage that was thought ... Read review

Disadvantages: Lots of people don't like the 'monsters'

...In Season 1 of Dark Angel we met Max, a genetically engineered soldier who was born and raised in the government's secret Manticore facility. Max escaped from Manticore with several of her siblings when she was a child, and has been living a low profile existence ever since. She teams up with undercover journalist Eyes Only to uncover corruption in a post-apocalyptic America, whilst trying to reconnect with her brothers and sisters and avoid being ...
...has a different feel, as we meet many more of Manticore's genetic experiments - most of whom are considerably less human than Max and her X5 siblings. They've all been bred for specific environments and tasks, and are far less able to cope with the real world than Max - and so she feels responsible for them.
