Amazing Stories

Yes, if you are a narrow-minded, deplorable bigot, then you will most certainly hate this series. Some of its characters happen to be LGBTQ and non-white, so run far away if you can't handle watching something that was produced in the 21st century and reflects our current society. Moving on, there is a certain feel that Amazing Stories always had that is back with this reboot. The stories were never too scary or too loaded with special effects. They were always well-told stories with a lot of heart which illuminated some basic aspect of the human condition. The characters seek truth, find love and peace, and you get some awe and wonder mixed in that makes you feel like a kid again. I think this series serves its namesake well.

This was the only Apple original I thought sounded even remotely interesting. I loved the Twilight zone and outer limits. I liked Black mirror and the original Amazing stories. This just isn't even close to being on the same level of any of the previously mentioned shows.

Yes Episode 1 was dull and Episode 2 was utterly awful but wait... Episode 3 is actually quite charming and has that Spielberg vibe. And great to see Robert Forster in one of his last roles.

Amazingly Trivial Stories - that supposed to be the name. I honestly do not remember when I've had an opportunity to see such trivial and amazingly corny stories. Not telling that it was filmed very by very lazy people - all the stories have been told hundred times before. If you've seen more that 10 movies in your life none of these stories wil surprise you. The most suprizing and amazing story - is how Steven Spielberg got involved in that. The only good part - you can leave your 10 year old children to whach whole show - cause it is incredably friendy and without any touch of inappropriet contend. Kids friendly.

I'm really being positive, how can anyone enjoy these episodes... ish. From predictable to plain, the second episode is just atrocious. Started put with potential but then falls into sorry sentiments and just not amazing. Where's the incredible? Where's the amazing?

I was a huge fan of the original. I read the reviews on here and was very skeptical about trying this version out. I am so happy that I ignored all of the negative reviews. I have made it through episode 4 and I am just as hooked to this reboot as I was to the original. What wonderful stories so far. I can not wait to get to the next episode. The first episode, the cellar was touching. The second episode, The Heat was simply better than most regular television shows I have seen recently. The third episode, Dynoman and the volt brought me back to my childhood and the last episode, Signs of Life brought back the Sci-Fi touch. After re-reading the reviews, I guess that this type of show may not be something for everyone because it is a self contained story for each episode. I recommend that you put it on for yourself and make your own judgement. I personally loved everything about it so far.

1.5 out of 5 stars. Amazing Stories overall first five episodes of the season has been pretty terrible and flat out horrible. The first episode with Dylan O Brien was so far the only good one. The rest is a waste of time. The stories has been boring and dumb. The scripts and directions does not live up to today. They are cliche and stupid. The acting is dull. The cast ensemble in these few episodes are forgettable. I am definitely giving up on this series as it just continues to go downhill.

It's hard to believe that exactly 35 years ago the world was introduced to Steven Spielberg's wonderful anthology series "Amazing Stories". Loosely based on the popular line of comics from the early 19th century, the original series that ran from 1985-86 captured the imagination of audiences with its wondrous array of storytelling from some of the most recognized filmmakers of its time (including Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, and Robert Zemeckis just to name a few). One week you could experience a terrifying nightmare of a horror writer being haunted by his recent creation, and the next week you'd be put on an emotional and gripping journey of a group of World War II fighter pilots desperately trying to save their lucky belly gunner. While sadly short-lived to those few who discovered it, this show was a wonderful and eclectic blend of fantasy, humor, horror, and heart. Now, with this recent revival from "Once Upon A Time" creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis and executive produced by Steven Spielberg as well, a whole new generation can now be brought into this world of imagination and wonder. From the opening lines of the original famous underscore by legendary film composer John Williams to its final moments, the first episode entitled "The Cellar" manages to capture the same magic and wonder that filled the classic episodes of the original television series. Great performances (led by Dylan O'Brien from the "Maze Runner" films for this first episode) and a first rate production design will keep newcomers and fans of the original coming back for more. If this first episode is any indication, this "Amazing Story" has only just begun.
