I don't know if it's true, but it *feels* like reviews have been essentially "visually stunning, which makes up for just an okay (not bad) story". That leaves me cold.

    - Well, no - Heroes writing is worse than Avatar, and the visuals can't touch it -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 11, 09:16

        the difference is he doesn't pretend he's doing anything other than mass-market entertainment. and on that level, he's the best at what he does - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:15 1
