Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

BritanniaRules "Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)" is a fine remake of the original late 60's/early 70's supernatural show. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer do very well in their roles of private detectives Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk.The special effects are brilliant. The story lines are original and captivating. This remake is every bit as enjoyable and thrilling as the original series.I believe that the high point of this series is Tom Baker as Prof. Wyvern, who helps Marty Hopkirk adjust to his new situation as a ghost. As always, Tom Baker is an asset to any show. He brings his own particular brand of eccentric humour to all of his comedic roles.If you like supernatural story lines mixed with a hearty dose of humour, you'll love this show.

stephen saul I think this update of an old favourite is surprisingly good!Reeves and Mortimer handle their roles well - this isn't 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Deceased)'.The second series has been assured, polished and confident. There's been plenty of genuinely inspired laughs. First series are always shakey as the various ingredients take time to gel. Second time around I think the cast and crew have got it just right...And the amiably insane Tom Baker plays Tom Baker as brilliantly as he always does!

simpleton2000 Right i'll be the first to admit that this new version of R&H is not the best series ever (compared to the original i don't know having never seen it) but i think it is a great attempt to show that British-made Sci-Fi/Fantasy can have a place in prime-time saturday night viewing. It's enjoyable simply for the fun in spotting the vast numbers of famous TV and film faces (about 10 different actors each episode), such as the entire cast of the Fast Show and League of Gentlemen. Having now seen the entire first season (with the announcement that a second season has been commissioned) taking the production as a whole the program is superior to most home-made British series. The one criticism would be the acts of Vic and Bob themselves, which it is unclear as to whether they are 'under-acting' on purpose?? However having been a fan of their work for a long time this seems likely taken their sense of humour!! The o

Jinty-2 Having just seen the fourth episode of this new series I feel I can now safely say that it's the funniest show I've seen in years! Not being a Reeves & Mortimer fan (until now that is) I've never seen any of their comedy stuff, so I had no idea what to expect when it was announced they were doing a remake of Randall & Hopkirk. I am an avid fan of the original R&H series however and would be first to yell out if I thought they were making a mess of it. But they're not. It's a fantastic updated version of what was a fantastic 'cult' show; it's NOT a remake, more of a homage. It's fantasy, it's fun, and that's the whole point of the show! I can't wait for the second series. Nice one Vic and Bob.
