You won't be disappointed!
Must See Movie...
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
What a total disappointment. It's obvious that this movie was produced for one reason and one reason only: to steal money from the audience that was addicted to the TV series. However, this fraudulent scam is NOT what anyone was -- or should have been -- looking for. I gave the original TV series an 8.5 rating. I'd rate this less than half of that. Why? Because yet again...we're insulted with another in the long list of "back from the dead" characters. And after 4 years of seeing every relevant aspect of The Centre's inner workings, we're now supposed to believe that there were THREE pretenders who escaped at the same time? I don't think so. And given the utter stupidity of the actions of the main characters, at this point I really don't care what happens to any of them. They're ALL pretenders, and I'm tired of their silly little game(s).
I have seen all kind of TV shows and movies. I can say the pretender is the best TV show out of all of them.They should get new episodes like a spin off show or at lest a 3rd movie. But i think both a new movie and a spin off show would be the best thing they could do.TNT did Premiere 2 pretender Movies how ever they did not wrap up the story lines and the movies were more like top episodes of the show then a big movie. So i hope if they make an other movie it would be biger like they did with the 1st x files movie and the new star trek one.Well i went on the internet and look up the pretender and i found a few sites. One of them i found was www.gopetition.com.au It is a petition site and i found one for (A third The Pretender movie, New episodes or a Pretender Mini Series). So i put my name on it. At this time it has a few Signatures on it.
This movie seemed bad from the first few minutes: cliché shots, forced dialog, and all that. However, it was highly sought after by a friend of mine, so I kept watching to see what was so good about it.Well, don't hold your breath - the movie was less than ordinary. I will forgets it in a matter of hours, because it had nothing special. OK, maybe I won't forget that soon the obvious plot holes: When Jarod reads the sign language letters from the photos that Alex left, they happen to be in the right order to spell GHOST, a chance of 1 in 120.Jarod is a genius and when he calls to ask for the Swedish embassy's phone number, he memorizes it instantly and dials it right away, pretending to be a Swedish journalist. However, when he is told that the Swedish ambassador will be at the Opera house at 4:00pm, he has to write down that information.At the end of the movie, Alex walks into a crane hanging over the water and pummels at the door at its end, when it is clear that there would be no escape even if the door were to open.Anyway, this movie was a complete waste of my time, and the only reason I'm writing here about it is to advise others to not waste their time as well.
I really enjoyed this film. Continuing the Pretender ideals it gave the public more information on Jared and Miss Parker. Although a few characters needed haircuts (in my opinion) it did not detract from the feel of the event. The writers obviously put much work into the script and many hours on the set in Canada. I must tell you that I revere these actors for working so hard for their fans, it shows a lot for them in the long run. They're not selfish individuals. I recommend this movie because it has family values - along with a little violence - but what family has NO violence? Hello! That's what I thought. It also has characters that the audience comes to know and relate to, people they feel a connection with. Miss Parker is my favorite character. She shows that women really can kick butt even in the middle of a man's world.
