Kim's been thrown out of eight schools in a row for not being able to control his inherent supernatural powers. This time, he is determined to graduate, no matter what it takes. However, strange events resolve around Kim from his first day at school. Will he be able to graduate as planned while being swept up into the fierce battle to become top fighting master at Volcano High?

One to miss. I found it boring for the most part and I just didn't like the direction. All the scenes are just too over the top and there doesn't really seem to be story behind it at all. I expected something more along the line of Sky High.
One of the main cast is the star from "My Mighty Princess". She really looked a lot like Kristin Kreuk in this one.

A fun action movie which I had already seen at the cinema and now enjoyed on Blu. Bruce Willis does what he does best: Playing an over-the-top action hero, coming out of retirement.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

MacGyver


Pilot
A mysterious explosion demolishes and underground lab. Can MacGyver single-handedly rescue the trapped scientists, and stop a deadly chemical leak?

My Thoughts:
This show is a weird case to me. It is a show I enjoy watching quite a bit really. But for some reason it is a show that is out of site out of mind. For some reason I don't go through the episodes of this show like I do most. More like I will get in the mood to watch some episodes. I will usually watch a handful of episodes and then forget about the series for a year or two. This is probably why I only have the first couple seasons of the series so far... though I would like to have them all. The pilot episode is a good introduction to the character. Of course you feel like... Yeah... right... like that would really work (in this case stopping an acid leak with chocolate bars)... but I think that is part of the fun of the series. Just to see the outrageous things he comes up with.

my Rating:
