      David Parkinson Radio Times The exploration of Majors's emotions is sophisticatedly handled by director Richard Irving, making this a cut above the usual pilot. Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Tibor F Boring... First half of the film could have been filmed in 5 minutes. I did not continue watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Jeff M I'm not sure what led me to watch this movie. I suppose I was feeling a bit nostalgic when it came up on my menu, and I had also mentioned it in a recent post. Well, nostaglia I suppose this is proof that nostalgia is better left in the past. I honestly don't know the history of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN. I don't know if this was made as a stand alone movie and was popular enough to warrant a series or if this was made with the impending series already planned. In any event, it's not very good. Majors is a total snooze, so much so that I almost regret playing with the Steve Austin action figure as a youngster. The cast is basically made up of character actors you'd find on any given episode of BARNABY JONES. But I must make special mention of the incredibly lifeless Barbara Anderson as Nurse Manners - she has one expression throughout and by the end she has nailed it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you have fond memories of the series. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Lee Majors' Steve Austin was a real life modern day super-hero. A believable Superman. Kenneth Johnson has two great '70's series: The Six Million Dollar Man is the first. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Painfully slow and overloaded on information, but a necessary watch, and a great lead in to a decent show.
