Based on the first action-packed and fun episode, it looks like Kring and crew have succeeded in pulling out of their sophomore slump.
-
75This is good bunk, fun bunk, energetic bunk. Much better bunk than the last volume.
-
70In their certitude, the villains are more compelling than their wishy-washy heroic counterparts. The real excitement of "Villains" is its promise to expand the series' assortment of baddies: their unabashed queerness and freakery make for more fun.
-
70Mr. Kring has assured interviewers and fans that the third season will correct those mistakes and recover the fast-paced suspense and tension of the first season. The premiere episode lives up to that pledge, with lots of violence, special effects and laser-fast editing. The plot and ever-escalating conspiracies are hard to follow, but even first-time viewers can easily get the gist.
-
70The first hour of Heroes answers enough questions and moves the story forward in such a way that a few "Huh?" moments won't matter as long as they're answered in short order and don't linger for too long.
-
60Even just a half hour in, it's difficult not to wish everyone would just lighten the heck up. The graphic novel noir feel is becoming increasingly oppressive, and everyone is just so grim.
-
50NBC sent the first hour of tonight's two-hour season premiere to critics, and it's sprinkled with some of the original fun: inventive special effects, a twist or two, some nifty gore. That doesn't stop it from being the same, familiar mess.
-
40Heroes may be better this year than it was last year, but it's still a very dumb show that just wants you to think it's smart.
-
0This show, which was once so thrilling and fun, has become full of itself, its characters spouting crazy nonsense.
