MacGyver (2016)

MacGyver isn't going to set prime time on fire. But it's watchable enough, and it seems like a good Friday night fit with CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" and "Blue Bloods."

CBS must have reasoned that the new version would have to be bigger and flashier. This reboot accomplishes that, but in doing so, loses the whole point of MacGyver in the first place.

With the breezy action comes some valuable knowledge about magnets and ammonias. Who knew TV could be educational? ... This reboot looks to be a pleasant way to start the [CBS Friday] lineup and the weekend.

What you're getting here is a factory-made retread that is less MacGyver than MacGyver: Impossible, with the title character now just one member of an impossible mission team. ... The show does, however, have two saving graces beyond the easygoing charm of its stars. For one, the original was hardly holy writ, and tampering with it doesn't count as a sin. And for another, weightless may be just what you want on a Friday night.

The new MacGyver lacks [USA's "Burn Notice's"] creativity and wit. It’s clumsy and forgettable, and it’ll probably end up lasting seven seasons without anybody really noticing.

While lead actor Lucas Till is charismatic as Mac, his voiceover and the tone of several parts of the show would remind viewers of another, better recent CBS show that was cancelled: Limitless. The pilot, directed by James Wan, at least keeps things entertaining on the action side; however, even with a near-complete retooling, some characters feel like the ones you’ve seen before on other recent CBS shows like Scorpion.

Lucas Till, as the 2016 version of the title character, doesn’t make much of an impression in the premiere, which involves a bioweapon that has fallen into bad hands. It’s nice to see George Eads of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” back on TV as Jack Dalton, one of MacGyver’s partners in disaster prevention, but the show is bogged down by its premise.

The medical deduction stuff is entertaining, just as it was on “House,” and here it’s done with more high-tech gadgetry in the room. But the regular characters aren’t particularly interesting.

It’s an interesting spree--strewn with cameos from Jake Tapper, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Richardson and more--and Nolte seems to make more of the role than the scripts offer. But Graves is also somewhat leaden and obvious in its first two episodes, replete with a rebellious former first daughter (Helene Yorke) and a first son (Chris Lowell) who never felt loved.

It’s almost shameless how quickly Mac plows through the “classics,” including using soot and packing tape to lift a fingerprint, and I’m still unsure of what principle he uses exactly to outwit a biometric scanner. But these quick fixes remain a good part of the fun. ... It deviates from the comparatively “lone wolf” nature of the original, though that’s not necessarily to its detriment; it simply makes it more familiar, CBS procedural-y.

学好数理化，走遍天下都不怕

在翻剧看到了Lucas 小哥的这部老剧新版，第一季还是温子仁导演（及制片？）就看了起来，虽然剧情有点扯，每集的物理小实验和小手工还蛮有意思的，小哥还是长发好看

主要还是看荷家薇。🇨🇭瑞士刀🇨🇭都是用便宜的420不锈钢做的，片中有些使用场景是不可能用瑞士刀完成的。

又掉记录！从天蝎到APBio，到底要拍多少这种无脑民工科幻刑侦剧才行？看了不到半季弃掉了，刚才想起来一搜妈呀竟然续订到第三季……电视台你们疯了吗！

并非火爆枪战大制作，而是卡通风味十足的“小聪明+大智慧逃出生天”的轻松剧，主要角色很讨喜，最大问题是何佳蓓演着演着不见了~

这部其实还不错，最大的看点还是男主不靠高科技就地取材解决所有事，基础物理+化学+好脑子，每集都有惊喜。首集导演是温子仁，CSI老朋友好久不见，LucasTill表现也不错。但整体格局小很致命，特别是中段莫名其妙换掉了何佳蓓，几乎等于没有的主线也完全没什么吸引力。但下季应该还会看的

说不上哪里好看，但居然也追完了。。。。。

就为了看ep2的AA，可是啥都无法超越Root......

我觉得很好看啊，老版本的太旧了不想看，直接看这个2016版的，结果发现蛮不错的，虽然觉得主角人数比较少，但是每集都有新的坏蛋出现，都能用瑞士军刀打败坏蛋。

这特效我只能给五毛 amy就客串一集TAT 弃了弃了

没一个正经的好看的女主角撑场，就没什么值得一看的，剧情也是很无聊，找不到看点

每到危急时刻，plan A的高科技搞不定了，立刻plan B生活小百科上线，早那么简单，直接小百科多好，其实咱也就想看看小百科呢。看之前隔壁的替身标靶，那就很好嘛😄

AA以后再接烂片麻烦就接这种只有十来分钟戏份的，你演主角简直是在考验我是不是真爱粉啊

看了第一集，除了不喜欢前女友这条线，其余挺对胃口

看睡了。

几年前就看好lucas，现在终于当主角了，还是温子仁导演的。但是剧情真的不怎么样啊啊啊_(:з」∠)_

本来就想给两星的，第二集看到的根妹，就给三星吧。

Are you serious？James Wan？

imdb上只有可怜的4.5分。当成生活小百科来看大概还有点意思。第二集有根妹出场，还安排了褶子前男友和矮胖未婚夫，简直有辱根妹的品味！哎，没有POI的秋天感觉好无所适从啊。。。叹气
