MacGyver

A somewhat naive series intended more for children or adults with a childlike mentality and perspective. The high rating is due to the fact that the current FilmBooster user base was at the right age when the series was released, and now it is fueled by established nostalgia. Today, this piece would probably receive more sober reviews. Overall impression: 25%. (2008-04-19)

Maybe I’m the idiot in the room, and even though we laughed at the sculptural R. D. Anderson in middle school because of his naive activist messages, we still watched his escapades overcoming raw brutality through the power of the forester spirit every afternoon. Yes, it's complete bullshit, perhaps also ridiculous and naive, but with a little nostalgia, I am giving 4 stars to a hero who thought twice about using his fists, because even if you have nothing in your hands, you can always build a perpetuum mobile or at least something really useful... After all - isn't "MacGyver" one of the last Mohicans of gentlemen amongst American series? :-)) (2004-07-14)

An unforgettable children's cult show, one I rushed home from school to see every day, teeming with anticipation, so I could see how the tied-up main hero escapes from the heavily guarded weapons factory using duct tape and a Swiss army knife. And I actually watched the same thing a hundred times, knowing that the next day, I would be rushing home to see it again. (2005-05-22)

The three stars are not so much for the (non-existent) quality of the series, but rather for the nostalgia that surrounds it. It's impossible not to give at least an average rating to a guy who can build a working nuclear sniper rifle with a grain of sand and a tape measure. (2006-02-11)
