It's kind of ironic that a mediocre review mentioned that the antagonistic was an "evil cartoonish character" given the fact it was based on a comic. That being said, I, personally loved the movie. The soundtrack was great, the action high-octane and the graphics were seamless (which for a movie based well outside the conform of reality is important so as not to take you out of the story - ie: when a person's intestines literally heal in front of your eyes). Was it perfect? ... no, it had it's standard cliche moments. But definitely top notch.

Definitely better than I expected. Growing up in the 80's, it gave me a major flash of nostalgia, but was also quite well done to boot. Acting was spot on and I liked how they gave each teen their own backstory on top of the overall mystery.

This is one of those shows that only comes full circle in the last 20 minutes (episode 16). I'm not going to lie, when I first started it, I asked myself several times why I was watching it. It was completely far fetched (by American standards) but the dynamic between the lead characters was absolutely amazing and the story within the stories was breathtaking. You don't even realize how caught up in it you are until suddenly it's down to the wire and you have one episode left. And let me tell you, I don't think I've ever been as invested in the characters of a show so much since The Tunnel (french). But you really have to watch it through to the end because those last minutes weave the entire story together so intricately that it's stunning. Truly an amazing experience I will not soon be forgetting.
