michchan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Outside of the general pacing/editing (which could use a lot of work... BUT it's the pilot so I'll cut them some slack), I see the potential of the show to be great. So far I'm enjoying most the characters and can't wait to see them become more fleshed out in future episodes. Guess I'll have to keep tuning in then.

Real Elijah Snow Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I guess i'm in the minority, but I hated it. The acting was horrid, and it also seemed really campy. My three current shows are "Ray Donovan", "The Strain", and "Boardwalk Empire". This one will not be added to my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I could see this going 10+ seasons like Smallville..... and the source material is even deeper.....the biggest challenge will be in keeping it from becoming cumbersome and claustrophobic.

Chiefs1313 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I didn't love how so many villains were crowbarred into the first episode, but I really liked the the young Gordon character. I think they did a good job of capturing the gritty, pre-batman Gotham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I didn't love how so many villains were crowbarred into the first episode, but I really liked the the young Gordon character. I think they did a good job of capturing the gritty, pre-batman Gotham. This was my only criticism as well. Too many teasers of villains crammed into the first episode. Otherwise, I thought it was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicConnoisseur Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I will say one thing Harvey Bullock is going to go from a C list character to an A list character fast like Starlord and Groot did. The character has great potential. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My three current shows are "Ray Donovan", "The Strain", and "Boardwalk Empire". This one will not be added to my list. You're not alone. I didn't like it. Better than Shield, but that's not saying much. I liked Jada Pinkett's big scene, but other than that it was just awful. Swap in some decent actors and you might have a show. I'll give it another episode because pilots can be rough, but I don't have my hopes up. The show is missing a unified "feel" between the characters. I just couldn't get into it. Felt like Bruce Wayne walked off a Disney set, Gordon's partner just came from the NYPD Blue set, Gordon is still on the OC, and the Penguin really wanted the part as the Joker but he blew the audition. Sorry for the rant, but my time is worth more. Seriously, ask yourself, if you weren't a fan of the source material, would you think this show was good?

I never read books about Gotham. And honestly, I'd probably have enjoyed the episode more if I wasn't a comic fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybes Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 ? Sorry, didn't realize Gotham wasn't a part of Batman comic Books My point is, I think there are two types of fans: 1.) people that are willing to defend a crappy tv show or movie because we love the source material, and 2.) people that bash the tv/movies because we love the source material. In this case, I think they could have done a lot better with this show. Everyone that chimes in on this thread will probably fall into one of those categories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I liked it. It wasn't perfect but it kept me watching unlike Agents of Shield last year. I do agree there were too many villian intros but I'm intrigued by how the Penguin turns out. Any guess on Solomon Grundy in the future? There was a Grundy Street mention.
