Marvel's Inhumans Pilot Review

Well then comic book fans another comic book TV show has graced our screens and if you've read the tile of this post then you know what show it is so here is my review of Marvel's Inhumans pilot episode.

The plot for this series is Maximus pulls of a military coup and the Royal Family escapes to earth. What really bugged me about this pilot is despite it being and hour and half long it takes a good thirty minuets Maximus's plan gets put into action that's not a good thing in my eyes but the overall pacing i thought was good.

The show stars Anson Mount , Serinda Swan , Ken Leung , Eme Ikwuakor , The adorable Isabelle Cornish , Ellen Woglom and Ramsey Bolton. the acting in this pilot is pretty bad in places some actors are better then others but i don't blame the actors i blame Scott Buck the show runner and writer for this two part pilot he gave the actors nothing to work with.

I found most of the Royal Family to be unlikable which was a bad thing since there meant to be the main heroes and one of the characters even strangles Maximus which is something you cannot have a main hero doing in your opening episode.

Now i saw the comments on the effects when the trailer first came out and i have to say that i personally thought the effects were ok they weren't bad but at the same time they weren't that good either i thought the effects on Medusa's hair looked good and in some scenes Lockjaw looked pretty good but in others he looks fake if this pilot was just being shown on TV i could have forgiven the bad effects but this was being shown no Imax screens so in my eyes there was no excuse for bad CGI and i didn't really like the teleportation effect either.

This show does something which actually weakens a character i can't say what it is but if you know who it is you'll know who i mean and if you havn't seen it it happens around the thirty eight / thirty nine minuet mark by doing what they did they made the character appear weaker it just doesn't add up to me why they would do that it makes no sense from a story point of view or a character point of view.

Overall i'd say if you've read the Inhumans comic books then you might want to check out this episode but if your not a fan of the Inhumans books then you can skip this but i personally might check out the rest of the episodes since it does sound interesting especially seeing where this could go and like my other pilot reviews there will not a rating.
