Movie Reviews of Boston Legal - Season One
Movie Review: Without question, network television's greatest show.
Summary: 5 Stars
This show gets better and better and better each week (each minute). And that's a frightening thought, since it started out so good in the first place. In each episode, they find a way to touch you intellectually and emotionally - culminating in the brilliant balcony epilogues with Denny and Alan. I'd love to see a feature on the dvd sets where you can play all of those balcony epilogues in a row. This show is a creative milestone and deserves to be rewarded as such. (and thank God somebody finally figured out how to write for Shatner. Denny Crane is his crowning achievement, the best work he's ever done -- and yet he makes it look so easy.) Buy the dvds, catch up, and then get in on this show now, before someone stupid cancels it.Movie Review: Subtlety and Incredible Acting
Summary: 5 Stars
The person who was bored by this series, must want a sledgehammer to him them in the face. To watch these actors' faces as they're saying their lines, you know so much more is going on here than meets the eyes. Last night's show, for instance, when Alan Shore is talking about his marriage and his wife and how she got to know him too well, then died and he missed that.....and Denny Crane....Denny Crane....who Alan knew would be lonely after his divorce, concocks a story to ask Denny Crane if he could stay with him awhile....well you KNEW Denny Crane....Denny Crane....knew exactly what was going on....I want to watch these shows over and over and over - and I want the second season IMMEDIATELY put on DVD - not wait a whole year!Movie Review: Chemistry and writing
Summary: 5 Stars
Chemistry and writing make this show a must have in your collection. William Shatner plays his part with an offbeat sense of comedic timing hair with James Spader whose obvious chemistry was Shatner completes this ensemble.
Witty and timely this show takes current events and puts them into a palatable venue. I was not inclined to watch the show when it came out but my mother and siblings were hooked. My mother taped the show every week and one day when I was bored I pulled one out and watched it. I was more than shockingly surprised at the brilliant writing and clever wit strewn throughout the show. Now I'm an avid fan. - To a better day in every way - Jaci Rae
Movie Review: Legal Reality
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a Judge for the past 12 years. Often when selecting a jury the attorneys will ask the jurors "who watches Boston Legal?" Attorneys laugh and say "well this is not TV this is reality." I want to jump off the bench and yell "so is much of Boston Legal", but I can't. Boston Legal is a real hoot. For any attoney who has worked in a large law firm you can see many of the same people you work with in the Boston Legal characters. Denny Crane is the man and I can assure you that many of his likes exist in the legal system. They are a royal pain to Judges. You either love them or dislike them. Great story lines and wonderful casting keeps this Judge smiling.Movie Review: Stunning Combo of Comedy & Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
Caught an episode by accident, and was immediately hooked. Bought Season One to catch up. Truly great writing and, even more astounding, truly great acting, especially by William Shatner, whom I'd always thought was a total hack, based on Star Trek (series and films). I now put him up there with Sir Laurence Olivier and Marlon Brando. Also outstanding is James Spader, who creates magical duo chemistry with Shatner. The entire ensemble is at the top of the tv acting game without a doubt. Story lines also manage to address pressing social and political issues with sincerity and depth, without excessive soap-boxing. On another, higher level of tv existence. Om.
