I have waited so long for this movie and was so excited to finally get it. I am dearly hoping that there will be more of the same. This movie gets into your head and into your heart. I feel for the characters and have so enjoyed watching them all mature and change. The initial feelings of repulsion for some of the characters has not changed either. Great show, great movies, and please make more!! The Island of the Haunted left us with even more questions and I truly don't believe that Mr. Parker is even dead. People like that never die. I was glad to see Lyle lose his thumb, he didn't deserve it (ha, ha). Mr. Raines reminds me of "The Mummy" movies and the repulsive character in that. Please continue with this series. I have got more people hooked on this show since I bought the set and now everyone wants more.

What a Devil Storm. Run for the row boats!! I would have evacuated the whole island as well.(Not) A few snowflakes lightly falling and an April shower will not scare a lot of Scots off an island.Furthermore I found the whole movie predictable and tedious. There was no mystery to the film and my eight year old daughter might have enjoyed it more than me, providing her attention span had kept up. I can't believe I sat through the whole film. What a waste of time. Oh yeah they have all been looking for the scrolls for many years and these two find them in the middle of the circle of tombs in a box just by removing the lid within a few hours of their arrival.Please don't insult the viewing public's intelligence.

The further adventures of master impersonator Jarod as he rights wrongs while being pursued by the sinister organization that wants him back. Lots of plot points are revealed in this story of Jarod posing as an FBI agent to track down a killer, only to discover it's someone from his past, someone who is every bit his equal: another pretender. Meanwhile, the Centre Trio (as I call them), Miss. Parker, Sydney, and Broots, continue to unravel the secrets of the organization they work for, making startling discoveries along the way, with a major (and shocking) revelation for Miss. Parker at the climax. One of the things I didn't like about the final season of the show was that it started to get too wrapped up in its own mythology, but THE PRETENDER 2001 gets back to basics, creating a nice balance between the parallel stories of Jarod and The Centre without getting itself wound up. Thought a tad slow near the center, the film picks up again for the remainder, with a great performance by Michael T. Weiss. I can't understand why he hasn't gotten more film work; he's very talented. And of course, Miss. Parker nicely wears an ultra-skimpy skirt during the first half-hour. Not as good as some of the regular episodes (especially the first two years of the series), but I'm just thankful TNT gave so much interest in one of my favorite shows. Hopefully, the upcoming sequels will be just as good.

This movie was impressive in that it successfully continued the Pretender story and captured interest for future movies. The acting was fairly good, especially that of Jon Gries (Broots) and Andrea Parker. Some things didn't work so well: Alex's fall into the river did not seem at all convincing. I think that with the longer time the crew had to film it could have been done better; it doesn't impress me as much as some of the episodes.
