Bionic Woman (2007)
5/10
Remake by the numbers
22 December 2007
I loved the idea of this remake and I think the actress is good enough to do it. But I am left feeling very disappointed.

It is almost like the writer had a list of cliché ideas next to him and ticked them off one by one. The whole 1st episode is infected with old ideas.

The one thing that really annoyed me was the mis-timed pace of it. One minute she is with her sis and the next she is having a pointless fight on a roof.

There was no time taken at all to develop her character and show the bionic transformation. This just seemed to be an inconvenience and got in the way of the first fight scene. It is almost like this programme is targeted for the Playstation Nation who are too impatient to sit down and watch a story build so it just whizzes past anything of substance.

Too fast, too cliché and nothing new here at all. Pity. I am struggling to recommend this.
