    Better Than the Others

    Where "Dynoman" shines is with the performances of the late Robert Forster, and Tyler Crumley. Other then that, it's a pretty standard "superpowers in the real world" story. An 'Amazing Stories' version of 'Brightburn', as it were. The episode effectively mixes in real-world issues like familial neglect and agism, with the superpower stuff. It's a bit chatty, and wife Helen is portrayed unsympathetic (while brother Bryce is pretty much a non-entity), but Kyle Bornheimer gets in some decent acting in his subplot, and Felix Solis makes the best he can of someone who is kind of a heavy and kind of not.

    But at least it's "amazing", and the actors appear to be having fun. The lack of either or both in the previous two episodes hasn't helped the show. But like I said in my review of the first episode, it's an anthology. If you don't like an episode, wait a week and you'll get something better. Or worse. At least it'll be different.

    But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. What do you think?

    A return to the past and a ring that has powers of magic and strength!

    This episode 3 from the new "Apple TV+" reboot series "Amazing Stories" called "Dynoman and the Volt!!" so far has been the best one! As the tale is simple and down to earth and it's themes are sentimental with connection and love and it's all tied into the past. It involves a young boy named Dylan(Tyler Crumley) who lives in Wisconsin and he's odd not popular with little friends and his love is comic books and dressing up like "Batman". Well when old grandpa Joe Harris(the good Robert Forster) visit things change as Joe an old stubborn set in his ways guy who's done with work after slowing down yet he still wants to labor. However when he discovers his grandson's hobby of comics it brings back yesteryear for Joe and the memory of reading the old comic "Dynoman and the Volt!!". Then when a strange mail order ring finally arrives in the mailbox it's like the gift of a super power has been given to Joe! Really this episode is well done with fantasy and imagination, while it deals with family and becoming old all while the escape of a little super power makes the story so fun and touching! Overall near great episode for it's take on special powers, strength, and the little magic that comes from an item of the past, so far best episode of the series.

    another very fine performance by Robert Forster

    It was so good to see Robert Forster deliver the goods in one of his last acting roles. I found this episode very entertaining. I loved the relationship between Grandpa and the grandson, and really enjoyed how they brought the vintage comic book era in as part of the plot.

    Finally

    With the third episode, they actually get a story that is reminiscent of the original show.
