Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time Review

 


Doctor Who fans it seems that I have for liking for reviewing regeneration episodes which trust me will stop come the new year. However I chose to review this episode in particular as it not only marks the departure of the actor playing the Doctor but also it's then current show runner and a long time composer and so then join me as I review the episode that really does feel like the end of an era for this show with the episode in question being called simply just "Twice Upon A Time" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Twelve Doctor finds himself sucked into a game of cat and mouse and it's one that involves a World War 1 soldier and two rather unlikely people. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as this episodes plot isn't that good either with the episode itself being rather aimless and pointless in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Peter Capaldi as The Doctor , David Bradley as The Doctor and Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts. Also starring in this episode is Mark Gatiss as The Captain , Jenna Coleman as Clara , Matt Lucas as Nardole , Nikki Amuka-Bird as Helen Clay , Toby Whithouse as The German Soldier , Lily Travers as Polly , Jared Garfield as Ben Jackson and Nicholas Briggs as The Voice Of The Daleks.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the actors doing there absolutely best to make this episodes script work well enough for them but the issue is that this episodes script gives the cast nothing to work with and so they can only do an OK job acting wise.



Doing the CGI for this episode is Milk , BBC Wales VFX and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Real SFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty bad with the robot avatars looking like they would be at home in a late Playstation 2 game cut scene because that's just how bad this episodes CGI well and truly was.



This is of course the final episode to feature Peter Capaldi in the role of The Doctor and to be fair this episode does do a good job of making his particular regeneration seem epic. Which in a way it is since this version of The Doctor is really struggling to come to terms with the fact that he's dying and when you add in the fact that character has seen alot of his friends either choose to leave him willingly or die it really does make sense that this version of the character would just say enough and openly choose not to regenerate since it would mean his actual death and he'd get to be with all of the people that he holds near and dear to him again.

I have to admit that like alot of die hard Doctor Who fans I really did hate how thus episode treated The First Doctor. Since instead of being written like the world weary hero that he was at the point the his regeneration took place here he's instead written as somebody who will say the wrong thing just to offended Bill which wasn't and isn't in that version of The characters nature at all and to disrespect him in this way just goes to show that writer Steven Moffat really wasn't a fan of that particular version of the character at all.


For some reason just like with The Time Of The Doctor this episode has a scene where The Doctor says goodbye to all of his main companions. Which just didn't work for me in this episode since it didn't really earned and if anything it felt like that it was ripping of a much better scene which shouldn't be the case since a scene like this one should only be included if it works with the story which in this case it just didn't and while you very well could also make that case for the same scene in The Time Of The Doctor that scene felt earned because that entire episode was wrapping up several plot lines from every single Matt Smith series and having him in a way finally say goodbye to Amy was one of them and that just isn't the case with this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty none minuets and forty six seconds. Which was a bit of a long running time for this episode to last since there's not really much there interms of plot that really requires that long of a running heck you could have had this episode come in at the bogstanderd forty five minuets running time and you'd have to lose absolutely nothing that's actually vital to the plot of the episode.


So now then since this is an action filled episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which is very in keeping with this episode since we only get one action which while it is impressive you can tell that stunt doubles for both David Bradley and Peter Capaldi were used and that really did take me out of the action which was a shame because what I was seeing was OK at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a decent enough regeneration episode that did an OK job of doing what it set out to do the problem this episode is so average that I have no idea what it was that it was even trying to do in the first place and that's not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

The Muppet Show "Rita Moreno" Review



The Muppet Show is perhaps one of the most well known puppet shows out their with The Muppets themselves able to secure some very well known names. Since I've made it a habit to continue to talk about the show it was only about right that I talk about another episode of this truly iconic TV show and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to a famous sketch from The Muppets that is with the episode in question being called simply just "Rita Moreno" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the first thing that's right about this episode since it has no plot to begin with. As such The Muppets are now allowed to be as chaotic as they want to be and same thing can also be said for this episodes guest star both of which just wouldn't be able to happen if this episode had a plot since the characters would have to be really alot more focused on getting from point A to point B in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is the great Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Waldorf , Rowlf, The Swedish Chef , The Newsman , The Jim Henson Muppet, and some of the Muppaphones and Frank Oz as Fozzie Bear , Anima l, Marvin Suggs , Sam The Eagle , The Frank Oz Muppet , George The Janitor , Mildred , Animal's Dancing Partner and Miss Piggy. Also starring in this episode is Jerry Nelson as The Jerry Nelson Muppet , Pig Bartender , The Announcer , Whatnot and some of the Muppaphones , Richard Hunt as Miss Piggy , Miss Piggy's Dancing Partner , Statler , Sweetums and Wayne , Dave Goelz as Rita's Dancing Partner , Zoot and The Guru , Eren Ozker as Janice and John Lovelady as Rita's Dancing Partner.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Also for some reason alot pf The Muppets have totally different voices which was really distracting.



As you can no dount work out by the title of this review this episodes special guest star was actress Rita Moreno. I have to admit that of all of the episodes that i've seen of this show she was perhaps the worst guest star simply because of the fact she wasn't that funny say what you want about all of the over guest starts but they were at least actually funny whereas Rita was trying to hard to actually be funny and that inturn made her rather unfunny.


Thr greatest thing about watching thus show is the fact that every now and again your going to see a character or in this case characters that you haven't seen before now. Since I had to no idea that Jim Henson , Frank Oz and Jerry Belson all had Muppet counterparts let alone that they actually voiced them as far as I can tell they only appeared in this one episode in a song that aired exclusivey in the UK but either way it's great to see that even all of these later you can still find characters that you never knew even existed in the first place.

Rather shockingly there aren't that many backstage segments in this episode with the only ones that we get involving a running gag featuring a phone and Fozzie Bear. This is why there really isn't a plot in this episode however at the same time half of the fun of this episode is seeing The Muppets causing chaos backstage and so in the end removing the backstage segments ultimately causes alot more harm then it does good since it makes the episode slightly less fun to watch.
 


I said at the very start of this review that this episode introduced us to a famous Muppets sketch and I was right since this is the first episode to include a Veterinarian's Hospital sketch. Which I actually liked since the idea of Rowlf being such a useless Doctor that he can only use terrible puns is such a funny idea to me altho like with alot of this episode what took me out of the sketch was the odd voices for both Janet and Miss Piggy which is a shame because it was a really funny sketch.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and nine seconds. Which was a tad bit on the long side for this episode simply because of the fact that this episode really doesn't have a plot to speak of and so there's only so long that you can watch a show with no plot until you get bored which is sadly what was close to happening with me and this episode.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With nearly all of this shows jokes not only landing but landing hard yes there are some bad jokes told in this episode but that's not limited to this episode since you very well could say that about any episode of a comedy TV show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't that bad of an episode since it did show us what The Muppets could be like when there just being chaotic and that really did make the episode alot of fun to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

He-Man And She-Ra: A Christmas Special Film Review

 


He-Man is a franchise that for the longest time was good as well dead however back in it's eighties heyday. They released the one thing that alot of media aimed at children seems to do and that's a christmas special which is well and truly something that needs to be seen to be believed and so then join me as I review the film that brings both He-Man and She-Ra together with the film in question being called simply just "He-Man And She-Ra: A Christmas" enjoy.

The plot of the film is after some earth kids are accidentally transported to Eternia it's up to both He-Man and She-Ra to get them home before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really chessey but in a good and rather fun way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is John Erwin as He-Man / Prince Adam and Webstor and Alan Oppenheimer as Skeletor, Man-At-Arms and Zipper. Also starring in this film is Linda Gary as Teela and Queen Marlena , Lana Beeson as Alicia , Melendy Britt as She-Ra / Princess Adora, Mermista and Catra , George DiCenzo as Hordak, Bow and Cutter , Erika Scheimer as Peekablue, Perfuma and Mother , R.D. Robb as Miguel and this films executive producer Lou Scheimer as Orko, King Randor, Swift Wind, Spikor, Two-Bad, Modulok, Kowl, Rattlor, Horde Prime, Father and Multi-Bot.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast all turning in some very decent performances which given that alot of tbem are reprising theirrolesfrom there respevtive shows isn't all that surprising at all.



Doing the animation for this special is I think the legends and the greats that are currently over at Filmation Associates. Ñow then interms of what I personally thought  / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but at the same it wasn't that good either since you can an awful lot of reused animation which just made this film feel alot cheaper that what it actually was.
 


What I personally found to be rather odd is that they chose to make Skeletor a hero character by the end of this film. By having him basically learn the spirit of Christmas which was just so strange since this film is basically just an extra long He-Man and She-Ra episode and so wouldn't it have made more sense to have a character like Orko be the one to act like a hero instead of the franchises main guy.

To be frank the whole idea of a He-Man and She-Ra Christmas special is just a bit strange since to my knowledge neither character has celebrated holidays native to their own planets. As such having them celebrate Christmas just seems weird and out of place as is the fact that they just randomly teleport some kids from earth since they very easily could have learned all about Christmas from Queen Marlena since she is as far as I can tell from earth anyways so that would have alot of sense instead of putting two innocent kids lives in danger for literally no reason whatsoever.


This film is corny in all of the right ways but also in all of the wrong ones as well like having Orko be the main character for this film for literally no reason whatsoever. I'm not kidding either like when Orko and the two earth kids get back to Eternia Orko adds nothingvto the overall plot and is there just to tell bad jokes and nothing more then that I get that this is Christmas special and as such you want it to appeal to kids but He-Man and She-Ra already appeal to the kids and even so if your going to make an annoying character like Orko the main character then have him be actually relevant to the overall plot of the film and don't just relegate his role in the plot for really quite literally no reason whatsoever.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and twenty four seconds. Which a He-Man and She-Ra extended episode is quite a bit on the long side even more so when you take into account all the twists and turns that the plot takes all of which feel like filler and so I see no reason why this film couldn't have been the standard twenty two minuets long.


So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Altho this films action did start to get little repetitive at times tho which means that this films action did also start to get pretty boring as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
.

Overall while this film is a decent enough watch it's also a film that is just so weird and bizarre and that is something that works both for and against this film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 our of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official He-Man fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Goole Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Beauty And The Beast: A 30th Celebration Film Review

 


Disney fans perhaps no era is perhaps more beloved then it's renaissance era when the house of mosue was producing hit film after hit film. Well one of the leading films of that era has just turned thirty years old and to celebrate that anniversary Disney have aired a special that combines the animated with live action footage and so then join me as I review the special that is quite easily better then the The Liitle Mermaid Live with the special in question being called simply just "Beauty And The Beast: A 30th Celebration" enjoy.

I don't really think that I need to tell you the plot of this special as it's the exact same plot as the film. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad I say this because this special does cut out quite alot of scenes from the film and that really does effect the overall plot of the film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is , Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson a.k.a. H.E.R. as Belle and singer Josh Groban as The Beast. Also starring in this special is  , Rita Moreno as The Narrator , Joshua Henry as Gaston , Martin Short as Lumiere , David Alan Grier as Cogsworth , Rizwan Manji as LeFou , Jon Jon Briones as Maurice , County singing and songwriting legend Shania Twain as Mrs. Pott and .Leo Abelo Perry as Chip.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty pretty decent. However alot of this specials cast are quite clearly better singers then they are actors.



What made this special truly stand out to me is that it felt like a love letter to the film that this special is celebrating. This is something is quite noticeable in the specials version of "Belle" where we see a piece of animation paper animating Belle before this specials version of the character even steps into frame and heck we even get a song from the dreadful 2017 remake as well.


I'm going to be honest here this special is so much better then the The Little Mermaid Live was. Just beecause of the fact that this film actually didn't try and lie to you and the fact that this special really didn't have any king of nightmare fueling puppets portraying supposedly friendly characters all of which went a really long way in making this special all that more better then what the The Liitle Mermaid Live was.

Very sadly tho it's not all good about this special tho since this special did have some things init that I didn't like. Take for example the fact that this special has The Beast appear in his human form quite early on in the film which kind of takes the surprise and wonder of what this character truly looked like and threw it all away and the other thing that I didn't like was the fact that the The Beasts costume while rather cool and scary looking revealed far to much of the actor playing him and so your just reminded that this is a character which did take me out of the special quite a bit of the time.


The songs in this special I thought were really well done with the best one being "Gaston" which was done in such a fun way that I ended up applauding it when it was finished. Not all of the songs are done well tho since even tho the song "Beauty And The Beast" is sung really well Shania Twain just can't match the vocals of the late Angela Lansbury and such what should be this really moving song about two outcasts essentially finding Live in each other just comes across as being rather flat and I dare it but also rather boring as well.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and forty one seconds. Which is a bit of a short running time for this special to last since it dies cut out alot of stuff from the film and as such I think that this special should have been at the very least one hour and thirty five just so that they could do the entire film alot of justice.


So now then since this is a romance film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual romance that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual romance that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty badly done. This is again due to the fact that the special cuts out so much from the film and when you can't even get the romance right in one of the most romantic film that Disney has made then you've done something wrong in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall like I said this special was quite easily alot better then the The Liitle Mermaid Live and seeing what they can now with the costumes it does make me wonder what they've got planned for The Lion King thirtieth anniversary and I can see alot of people really liking this special because it's that damned good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Disney fandomwiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Disney fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The Sonic Prime TV Series

 


Sonic The Hedgehog is a character that's seen quite a resurgence in popularity within the past few years or so. With the character spawning not one but two hit live action movies with a third one in development and TV series based on those live action movies also in the works well now Netflix has just debuted a new animated TV series and well you all just knew that I had to take a look at this show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions that trys to put a new spin on Sonic and his friends with the TV series in question being called simply just "Sonic Prime" enjoy.

The plot of this show is after fighting Dr. Eggman Sonic suddenly finds himself trapped inside of a different universe and now ha to try and find his home. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty pretty decent with this shows plot so far being really entertaining but at the same time also treading upon some very familiar ground in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Deven Mack as Sonic the Hedgehog and Orbot and Ashleigh Ball as Miles "Tails" Prower and Tails Nine. Also starring in this show is Adam Nurada as Knuckles The Echidna , Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy Rose and Rusty Rose , Kazumi Evans as Rouge The Bat and Rebel Rouge , Brian Drummond as Dr. Eggman , Mr. Dr. Eggman and Dr. Done It , Ian Hanlin as Shadow The Hedgehog , Big The Cat and Denizen 1998 and Vincent Tong as Renegade Knucks , Dr. Babble , Dr. Don't and Dr. Deep.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With all of this shows voice cast turning in some really good performances and doing a good job of making this outrageous and insane script work for them.


Try as I might I cannot for the absolutely life of me find out anywhere online who did the animation for this show. Now then interms if what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad with this shows animation being alot better then what it really did have any right to be.


For some reason this show borrows alot of it's set up from the first Sonic The Hedgehog TV series only with worse looking animation , characters and writing. Which is a shame because the idea of Sonic having to rescue a city is a good idea but from the first two episodes that i've seen its not being done all that well and such all it does is remind that I could be watching a much better Sonic The Hedgehog TV show and that's not a good thing at all.

This show does seem to be setting up a mystery with Sonic since there's a large portion of time where we don't know where Sonic was. Which isn't a bad idea but it's not enough to carry an entire show neither is the sole premise of the show itself since you could very easily solve both of them within three episodes and this show is going to have twenty four episodes which means that we're going to have alot of filler episodes heck even the second episode of this show is borderline a filler episode since it adds nothing to the episode of the show. 


Like I just said this show is going to be twenty four episodes long spread over three "seasons" which I can't really see that show doing all that well with all of those episodes. Since there's not really a sense of worldbuilding going on at least in these first two episodes which is a shame because the show does have a storyline that's open to exploring the lore of the Sonic franchise and yet so far this show just isn't exploring any of the Sonic lore.

Now then the first episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and twenty six seconds where as episode two has / had an exactly grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and nine seconds. I have to admit that episode one has the better running time since it makes this show feel all the more epic and I really do think that the rest of the show should have had the running time that episode one had since that would then allow for more epic stories to be told and for character development to happen in a more naturel way.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With this shows action being rather rightfully cartoonish however this shows action was also rather lackluster with this shows action not really showing us anything that's all that cool , interesting or even entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show isn't that bad but at the same time it's also not all that good either it's sure to please little kids but the die hard Sonic fans will most likely not find this show to be all that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally used all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The National Treasure: Edge Of History TV Series

 


Disney fans the company has a habit of not really promoting there stuff and as such alot of what they release goes under the radar. This is very sadly the case for the show that i'm about to talk about where I don't think they even released a trailer for the show which is a shame because I only just today fund out that there was a series of posters for the show and so hen join me as I give you my first impressions that really wasn't promoted all that well at all with the show in question being called simply just "National Treasure: Edge Of History" enjoy.

The plot of this show is a young treasure hunter and her group of friends embark on a quest to find some treasure that was thought lost for centuries. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad since it does set up the plot of the show really good but at the same time it also gives you no reason to go and watch episode three of this show either which us what a god plot for a TV show really should do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Lisette Alexis as Jess Valenzuela , Fear The Walking Dead and 90210 star Lyndon Smith as FBI Agent Ross and Zuri Reed as Tasha Rivers. Also starring in this show is actor and singer and Stargirl star Jake Austin Walker as Liam Sadusky , Antonio Cipriano as Oren Bradley , Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge and Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms star Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan , Wednesday star Catherine Zeta-Jones as Billie Pearce and Harvey Keitel as Peter Sadusky.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the actors that you expect a great performance from truly delivering but at the same time this shows kid actors just don't deliver that good of a performance at least in these first two episodes anyways.



What I really did like about this show is the fact that these first episodes presents it's main character aa somebody who is like Sherlock Holmes. In that she kind of has her own mind palace which she uses whenever she gets into the zone when looking up some information on something and on top of that how this character acts and is written very much reminds me of Sherlock Holmes which makes me wonder if the creators of this show were inspired by Sherlock Holmes when it came to writing this shows main female character.


As someone who has only seen the second National Treasure film I can't say if this show connects to the films in any meaningful way. I will say that there is a reference to the first film but that's really it and that's really all you need to do just to say to your audience that these two properties do indeed exist in the same fictional world but at the same time with these first two episodes basically being an hour and a half pilot episode I would have liked it if the tone from the first two movies carries over to this show.

The marketing for this show has been pretty bad with there being only one trailer for the show released with the trailer itself being released all the way back in September. This isn't a good sign heck I don't even think that they announced when this show was even coming out either which just makes me wonder why Disney chose to essentially bury this show since even if a product is bad you should still let people know that it's coming out so that they can then form there own opinions about it and not just bury it and basically forget that it's even I think that's currently happening.


Disney released the first two episodes of this show which in this case I really do think works against the show. Since the one of the main selling points for this show is the mystery aspect of it and so since episode one had the stronger ending I really do think that only the first episode should have been released since then you'd have a reason to come back and watch episode two which now simply isn't the case.

Now then these episodes has / had an exact gran total combined running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. With each episode being around forty five minuets in length which really does work well for this show since it allows the story to move at a more organic pace but at the same time tho because things are moving alot slower in this show you also pick up on many of this shows flaws alot sooner then what you would have done if this movie but on the plus side these episodes do have some really great pacing to them.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes was in all honesty OK at best. Which given that we've only had one action scene so far isn't really a bad thing but it does make me wonder just how bad or hopefully how good the action is for the rest of this show tho since you only get one chance to make a good first impression and so far at least this shows action hasn't really made all that good of a good first impression in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show might get better as the rest of it's ten first season episodes start to get released but so far at best this show seems to be nothing more then OK at it's absolutely best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official National Treasure fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Sonic fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official National Treasure fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official National Treasure fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV Series Animated TV Series "Get Shredder" Review

 


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a franchise that has spawned many animated TV series over the decades but none ae quite as popular as the one from 1987. However with high there most come a low and well then i've seen the episode that I believe marks the down fall for this particular incarnation of the turtles and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced a new sky color , new tone and whole host of new things into this series with the episode in question being called simply just "Get Shredder" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the turtles are hunting down Shredder and Krang when a new villain emerges one that will test the brothers like they've never been tested before. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty decent at best since this episodes plot does somewhat explain the red sky in this episode and this episodes episodes plot is also somewhat epic as well but it's also clearly not the franchises best plot either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Rocksteady and Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop. Also starring in this episode is Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo and The Car Thief Boss , Rob Paulsen as Raphael and The First Thug , Peter Renaday as Splinter and Vernon Fenwick , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil , Pat Fraley as Burne Thompson and Krang , Bill Martin as The Shredder and Jim Cummings as Drakus / Berserko.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Altho you can quite clearly tell that the actors have lost all passion for playing these characters and the actor that they got to play The Shredder is just up bad since it's a really bad voice and this kind character really did deserve alot better then this kind of performance.


Doing the actual animation for this episode is I think the legends and the greats that are currently over at Daewon Media and G & M Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and is easily the best part of the episode however I really did notice some animation errors which really did bring down the overall quality of the animation that's in this very episode for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For some strange reason the producers of this show chose to change this show from something that's more lighthearted to something that's more action heavy. With this new version of the show taking inspiration from both the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and Batman: The Animated Series amongst over things which isn't a bad idea except they've just spent several years just doing there own thing and not now there trying to copy something that's just as successful as this show once was and it just doesn't work.

Not only did this show change it's tone but it also changed it's theme song and intro which I actually didn't mind. Since the song itself isn't that bad but the intro itself is just lazy as all heck since it's just stock images from the show mixed in with scenes from the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie and nothing more then that to contrast this with the original intro which had original animation made just for that intro and it works so much better because it matches with the song alot better and it makes the show all the more fun to watch which just simply isn't the case with this intro at all.


From this episode all this episode all the way up until the shows final episode are known as the "Red Sky Seasons" because for some strange reason all of the outside scenes in these episodes now have a red sky instead of either blue or black. Which is something that was clearly taken from Batman: The Animated Series however in that show since it was a new show it didn't distract the viewer since that show was still creating it's tone where as here in this show it's distracting because the viewer just ONE episode ago had seen the sky as they were really used to on this show.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and thirty twos seconds. Which is far to long for a story like this one to last since at it's core this episode has enough story for roughly ten minuets fifteen minuets at a stretch but not a full twenty three minuets and not helping things is the fact that the main bad guy of this episode is introduced halfway into this episode and so he's not built up properly because there just simply isn't enough time to do his character any kind of justice whatsoever.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Since for the most part the action is genuinely entertaining and while the fight with The Shredder could have been better the ending explosion of the Channel 6 news building really more then makes up for it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall it really doesn't take much to see why this episode marks the downfall for this show since everything bout this episode is just lacking since even when this show had bad episodes it was still entertaining and that's just not the case with this episode at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page , the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
