The Gifted Pilot Review

Well then  Marvel fans it's been a few days since Inhumans started and now Fox is showing us what they can do with the Marvel name so here is my review of the pilot episode of The Gifted.

The plot for the episode is The Strucker family find out there kids are mutants and go on the run. That's really it in terms of plot since it's a pilot episode i wasn't expecting the whole story to be present in this episode but for me the set up worked in this episode and it helped set it apart from a certain Marvel show which has also just started.

The pilot stars Stephen Moyer , Amy Acker , Sean Teale , Natalie Alyn Lind , Percy Hynes White , Jamie Chung , Blair Redford , Emma Dumont and Toks Olagundoye aka the new Mrs. Beakley. Right of the bat i can say that the acting in this pilot is so much better then in that other Marvel show which just started and i think that's down to two things number one is the director for this episode is Bryan Singer a feature film director so he'll know how to get the best from the actors and the other being the script from Matt Nix. I will have to say that out of all the actors in this pilot the two actors i enjoyed the most was Percy and Natalie and it's not because Natalie looks like Chloe Grace Moretz i really believed them as brother and sister.

I have to say then even tho is has the Marvel name and is set in the world of the X-Men films this isn't a superhero show at least not in the way a typical superhero show would be this is more of a family drama and to be frank i liked that aspect of it alot it's refreshing not to have an action sequence every few minuets.

Unlike THAT other Marvel show the effects in this show are really good there not feature film worthy by any means but for a TV show on a mainstream network like Fox they were really good the effects on Blink's power for example is full of vibrant colors that really pop and i hope that this level of quality stays with the series.

Overall i'd say that this is a show that's worth checking out and it's easily better then Inhumans and i have no clue why people aren't talking about this show and like the rest of my pilot reviews there will not a rating since it's the start of the story but there might be another review near the end of the first series.
