Obvious...All [but soccer fanatics] can pass on Goal! The Dream Begins and make plans now to avoid its two upcoming sequels.

Needless to say, logic takes a holiday, just not in the Bahamas.

Punches up its storytelling with biologically invasive visual effects and a soapy interest in its characters' sexy private lives.

At times suffers from dull, dunderheaded, or dead-end plotlines [but]...There's enough here to keep hope alive that Gotham could grow into more of a weekly treat than a fanboy obligation.
