Jackass: P** Cocktail Review

There is a new Jackass movie out and with that movie being the final time that the gang are going to get together and hurt each other it is a sad time. Well I thought that it only made sense to go back and look at the very first episode of the show just to see how far the guys have come since the year 2000 and while the stunts in this episode are alot more tamer then what they were doing in the movies it is still a fun episode and so then join me as I review the episode that features a stunt that they redid for Jackass 3D with the episode in question being called simply just "P** Cocktail" enjoy.

As with the movies this show and this episode doesn't feature a plot to speak with the main focus behind all of the episodes and films being these guys just pulling pranks on each other and the public. This is something that does work really well as it does help to set this episode apart from other episodes of other TV shows as this episode does help to give MTV an edge and feel more adult then something that we would find on mainstream TV channels yet at the same time tho whilst it would be easy to get bored by seeing alot of the guys just doing this more often then not daft pranks on either the public or worse each other it is somethin that does work in this episodes favor as right away it tells you that this show is going to be different from anything that's on TV and that's exactly what this show was in all of the best ways possible. Yes it might gave helped if the episode did have more of a loose plot tying all of the skits together as this is the first episode of the show and it therefore would have helped to ease the audience into the show a bit more but the fact that they just went all out nuts even in this first episode does also show us that the whole gang knew full well that what they were doing was going to work as it allowed them to be more of themselves and that is something that wouldn't be possible if the episode did have a plot Knoxville was able to get away with it Bad Grandpa but that was more due to the fact that he was more well as an actor at that point in time where as here in this episode he wasn't known at all and therefor he and the rest of the guys did have to get across what they are really like or were really like in alot of these early episodes with this episode being a good example of this as we do get alot of quick scenes with most of the guys talking to the camera and this is something that would have to have been cut out of the episode if this episode did have more of a plot running through it 

Starring in this episode is one of this shows producers and co-creators Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera. Also starring in this episode is Chris Pontius , Dave England , Steve-O , Ehren McGhehey , Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña , Ryan Dunn , Brandon DiCamillo , Sean Cliver , Jason Fijal , Mike Kassak , Jess Margera , Chris Raab and one of this shows producers , the shows director and co-creators Jeff Tremaine.

Everyone that is starring in this episode even those that only appear behind the camera do a really good job in this episode. With them all kind of already starting to form to the strong friendship that they would eventually develop over the course of both the show and the movies and yet even so you can see just how much joy each and every person that appears in front of the camera has for being in not only this show but in this episode as alot of the time they do just feel like close friends just talking to each other with this being the very thing that does help to make this episode already start to feel special as while yes we do have the stunts and pranks for the laughs which is fair enough but none of that would mean anything if the guys didn't genuinely like each other as then all the pranks that they pull on each other would seem mean spirited. While we don't get to see alot of the more well known members of the team in this episode with Steve-O and Wee Man only appearing in one stunt each we do get alot of scenes with other people in this episode which was something that was quite honestly refreshing to see as it would have been very easy for the makers of this show to just feature the heavy hitters for this debuting episode and then slowly but surely branch out to the more lesser known people but the fact that they started out with the more lesser known people first does show that the makers of this episode did just go with whoever had the best idea for a stunt and while of course Knoxville does appear in alot of the scenes almost to the point where you could make the point that he's the main person in this episode which is something that would be fair enough as he does do the intro for both the show and all of the movies he wouldn't be anyone without the rest of the main crew both in this episode and in the show and while both Steve-O and Wee Man don't get to do anything that's two dangerous in this episode the fact that they are in it at all dies show us that the makers of this episode knew that they had gold when they filmed there part for the episode.

Like the Saw films the main reason to watch this episode is to see just what crazy stunts that the guys were getting up to in there early days and while the stunts in this episode aren't as crazy as they are in the movies they are still some really good stunts in there own right. With the episode showing an oddly more safer version of the test footage that Knoxville filmed prior to filming this episode with them really only removing the fact that in the original version he straight up shoots himself with a gun whereas here in this episode he gets hit with a tazer and stun gun and heck oddly enough all of the stunts seen in this episode are alot more tamer then the stunts even in the first movie with this being because of the fact that with this being an episode of the show they weren't allowed to go as full on extreme as they really wanted to. Thus is something that does make alot of sense as kids are more then likely to copy things seen on a TV that they can very easily watch then they are a movie that would be alot more harder to sneak in and see but at the same time tho the whole deal about this show is that it is these guys doing these sort of extreme things to each other in public and that is something that we do get hints of in this episode and therefor MTV should have had a better idea of what it was they were getting themselves into when they first bought the show in the first place and heck if they were worried about kids copying what they saw in the show which they clearly where as they have a warning come up all throughout the episode then why not have the episode air at around 10 to 11pm instead of having it air at 9pm as this is something that would have allowed the guys to get away with more extreme stunts and it would mean that kids are less likely to copy what they saw either on the show or in this episode.

Whilst Johnny Knoxville does appear in alot of the scenes in this episode the episode does oddly enough feature alot of stuff by Bam Margera. Which is somethin that wouldn't be a bad thing as alot of his stuff in other episodes and films is really funny but here it felt like he was just throwing stuff at the wall to see what would stick as alot of his stuff in the episode is either him showing off his skateboarding skills or him throwing himself into things which is funny for one or two skits but alot of his skits are all like that and while Bam is funny he's only rally funny when he's messing with other people and that is something that he doesn't really do in this episode as alot of it is just him with him occasionally being joined by Ryan to help him out in things. The Bam that we see in this episode is vastly different then the Bam that we see in Jackass 3D as here in this episode he does feel like himself as he is just this punk kid who is doing these things just for a laugh and that is something that did help him gain fans in the first place whereas in his last Jackass movie it felt like he was putting on an act like he was almost forcing himself to be this person and instead grow up like the rest of the guys had done at that point, with the Bam in this episode coming across as being fun and almost care free as the only stunt that we see him really plan is a part of The Shopping Cart stunt where as he asks Ryan to punch him one second before take off to lessen the impact of the stunt and the Bam in that final film does feel like someone who would say yes to anything and not plan out certain spots to project himself. Bam himself does come across as being a very likable person in this episode as we don't get to see him pull pranks on his parents in this episode with him mostly doing these crazy and down right silly things just with his friends and this is something that works for the anarchic nature of the show as parents aren't going to find alot of this stuff funny but kids and teenagers not only will but did.

Look to be frank this episode is one that's hard to describe as it is one that you do have to watch in order to fully get the episode. As it is all well and good just saying that the show and the films are just guys acting stupid which un all fairness it kind of is but there's an art to it it's not just them doing something stupid because they think it might be funny it's them doing something stupid and then putting in the work to make it as safe as is humanly possible without loosing what it was that made it so funny to them in the first place and this is something that not alot of people really got about the show and heck even in this episode we do see them prepping Chris for a prank that they are doing granted it's just him running out of the boot of a car pretty much naked but even that does require work to make it be as funny as it could have been. Heck we even see Knoxville asking him several times during the prank if he's OK as it is hot in the back of that car and while it is a relatively simple prank to do as it's just Knoxville driving up to random people and then Chris jumps out of the back and runs away it still does require alot of planning ahead of time as they do still need to work where the cameras are going and who is going to be filming what at any given time, the episode itself does have a very gorilla filmmaking look to it which is pretty much the shows signature look as alot of the time when the guys are out filming in public it is just them filming in a car park but when they get the public involved it does feel like that they have to very quickly get the shot and drive away with this being something that does help add to the underground feel and look of the show with the only few times that they aren't out in public in this episode also helping to retain that look which is something that the makers of this episode really didn't have to do as they very easily could have used any money that MTV gave them to make the show to buy higher quality cameras but they didn't and it is something that does help to create a unique look for the show and while that is something that is all but gone in the movies it is something that helped to make this show stand out all the more.

For some odd reason even tho they have a stunt that is perfect for him in this episode Preston Lacey is nowhere to be found in the episode. Yes he did help behind the scenes by coming up with ideas for some of the shows skits but he's never seen in the episode this is odd as his "comedy partner" in the show Wee Man does appear in a brief skateboarding therefore it would have been easy for the makers of this episode to fit him into the scene just by having him either being chased by or chasing the Oompa Loompas in the scene as either one would have been perfect for him and either one would have been a funny visual to see in this episode but given the fact that the episode does have alot of scenes in it some of which do end up going on for quite a bit it does make sense that he perhaps doesn't appear in the episode. Speaking of the skateboarding Oompa Loompas it was a passable scene maybe skateboarders will like which is fair enough as alot of the people that were involved with the making of this show are actual skateboarders but given the fact that you do expect larger then life stunts in this show it does feel out of place as while there is other skateboarding in the episode those usually played into what you expect from the show by having the person skateboarding get hurt in some really painful way like for example during the Fat F**ks sketch one of the people tries to ride a board on a rail in a fat suit only for the board to fall and him to land right between his legs which is something that would have been funny for Wee Man or even Preston for that matter to do and here in this episode it does feel like they are playing things safe when it comes to the stunts which is something that does make sense as this is the first episode and they do have to test the waters if you will with MTV but they still could have tried to push the envelope out a little bit further then what they ended up doing as here it does feel like this is just the pilot episode of a potential series rather then the actual first episode of the series itself.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and twelve seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for the show and to be fair to this episode given the fac that neither this episode of the films  have a plot to speak off it does somewhat make sense that they would have this amount of running time for the show as the makers of the show do still have to pack in alot of stunts all of which are things that the show is known and with alot of the stunts taking up to about five minuets it does make sense that the episodes would be this long as they do have alot of stunts to fit in with there being very few behind the scenes stuff with the only behind the scene look that we get in this episode being Johnny Knoxville calling up his doctor to ask what shots he needs to get for the episodes titular stunt. Whilst the show has proven that it can work with a longer running time thanks to the movies it is something that would have been seen as being a risky thin to even think of with this episode as there was no need for this episode to be as long as it is as there is no plot in the episode and therefor the episode doesn't need to fit in plot or character development. It just needs to show you the guys doing the stunts and that's it and yet it's thanks to the fact that the episode is as along as it is that the stunts are allowed time to breathe as it's no just one guy getting hurt and then the episode cuts to the next guy getting hurt rather the episode does allow time for alot of the bigger stunts and pranks to breath by showing us what it might have been like working on this show and it's those things that would have been cut from the show if the episode did have a plot as the episode would have had to have fit in a plot and there would have needed room for both plot and character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean 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 not that bad. While the guys would get more out there the longer the show goes on with there psychical stunts the comedy in this episode does seem alot more tamer by comparison almost as if they are are testing the waters of hat they can get with in this show it's not bad persay it's just not as good as it does get later on in the series which s fair enough as this is only the first episode and while it is smart to usually put your best foot forward given the fact that the guys are doing these stunts and pranks themselves the fact that they are playing it safe with there stunts does make sense. With the best joke in the episode being the stunt "Body In Trunk" as it is a simple stunt with alot of the comedy coming from people's reactions to what is going on infront of them being the thing that does make this stunt be funny as by all rights this stunt should have worked and yet due to the fact that everyone involved with the stunt really does commit to it as we do get to see Chris run quite a distance several times it is something that does make the stunt out to be a really funny stunt and while yes it is perhaps the safest stunt that they do in the episode as no one is going to be getting hurt or at the very least badly hurt it's a stunt that is helped by the fact that it is just so stupid as the idea of a of a fully nude person jumping out f the back of a car into LA traffic just to get the reactions f several people is a stupid idea but it works because of the fact that it is just this stupid idea with it feeling like the kind of stunt that friends would do together back in the year 2000 with the rest of the episodes comedy being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst yes the stunts in this episode are alot more tamer when compared to the ones in the movies the episode on the whole is still a really fun episode as it does let you know right away that this show isn't going to be one that parents will love and will instead be this fun show and that's exactly what this episode was it was fun and it was stupid but it was in all of the best ways possible in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as welk as all of thee bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys an girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Little House On The Prairie Film Review

Pilots these days are usually things that would never be seen and while that is also the case for pilots in general nine times out of ten if a TV network wanted to see if something would be a hit then they would release the pilot as a made for TV movie. This is how we got shows like The Waltons and even Starsky & Hutch and it's also how we got what many consider to be one of the greatest drama in modern American history with it being that very TV movie that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the film that sees a family like there home in the big woods with the film in question being called simply just "Little House On The Prairie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when there not enough food left in there old home the Ingalls family are forced to pack up and move home and find somewhere else to live where they have to cross dangerous rivers just to try and find a place to call home. 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 im 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 good. To be frank this films plot is alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights the plot to this film should have been really bad and fille to the brim with obvious setup for the show. Yet there is none of that in this film with the film being more focused on telling a good and tight tory then it is in setting up things for the show with the films plot being at times heartwarming and at times devastating as we get to see these characters struggle to find a place to call home and while it would have been alot more better if the film did have more of a tighter plot and not just have what feels like a bunch of scenes that are loosely connected in it that would go against the film as a whole as the film is told from the point of view of a kid essentially writing down what's happened in a dairy and therefor of course things in the plot aren't going to be as good as they would have been otherwise and yet even so you can tell that there is alot of thought and effort put into this films plot with all of that love paying off as we do end up with a loving plot because of it with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls and this films producer and director Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls. Also starring in this film is Karen Grassle as Caroline Ingalls , Melissa Sue Anderson as Mary Ingalls , Lindsay Greenbush as Carrie Ingalls , Sidney Greenbush as Carrie Ingalls , Victor French as Isaiah Edwards , Victor Mohica as Soldat Du Chêne , Cal Bellini as Brave , Sam Vlahos as 1st Indian , Richard Alarian as 2nd Indian , Marian Beeler as Charlotte Holbrook , John Steadman as Frederick Holbrook and Ruth Foster as Aunt Ruby.

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 im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. This was something that was quite shocking as you don't usually expect to see good acting in a made for TV movie rather you just expect there to be OK acting and that's it yet here it almost feels like the makers of this film went out of there way to give us some really good acting as all of the actors that are in this film are just so good an whilst yes granted this films acting isn't movie quality good it's also alot more better then alot of the acting in other made for TV movies. With the best actor in this film quite easily being Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls as he does get alot more of the more dramatic scenes in the film and whilst the rest of the films actors do get some dramatic scenes as well he does pull them of which such ease with this being something that does make alot of sense as he did star in alot of drama films and TV shows therefor he would know how best to perform in a drama heavy scene and yet he doesn't shy away from bringing hope with him performing this character with a huge twinkle in his eye as you can really tell that he had a blast in playing this character with that being something that really does shine through in this film. With the acting that's in this film really being helped buy the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 

One of the many things that this film does really well is it's characters as the film does give us some really good main characters. The films characters are so well written with them all being very distinct and well thought out characters like for example Charles is very much the type who will put his own family above his own needs as we we do get to see him do things that would kill him but he does them because of the fact that he love his family where as with Caroline she is someone who where's her heart on her sleeve and yet when push does come to shove she is always there to protect her daughters and speaking of the daughters all of them do feel very much like real people and while yes this is because of the fact that the books that this film and show are based off are based on a real person the fact that that does translate into there characters on the screen does go along way into telling you just how well written each of the characters are. With the makers of this film even going the extra mile by having us not only like these characters but also fall in love with them so much so that we want to see them succeed and find a home of there own with this being something that does make the quieter moments between them all the more heartwarming as we do get to see just how strong of a bond that they share as a family which is really sweet to see with that bond showing us just how these characters are as people as we get to see just how far alot of them are willing to go to make the others happy with that being something that alot of people today especially need to see as alot of them are far to quickly to push there own flesh and blood under the bus, yet if they just took the time to talk to there family then they would end up with a more stronger family bond which is something that we get to see in this film as it is clear as day that all of these characters really do love each other and that is something that is clear as day all the way throughout this film.

The heart of this film is all about chasing the American Dream and the hardships that doing something like that does entail. As while the main bulk of the film is spent with the family just trying to find there new home when they do find it in Kansas and decide to become farmers they still meet struggles be it from the weather or from other people and seeing them overcome that just because of the fact that they want to follow the American Dream and just live to see another day is something that does make these characters to be awe-inspiring as we do get to see them put in the work to make there new dream of being famers work and while not everything does go there way the things that do taste all the more sweeter because of the hard work that they put into making it work in the first place. This again is something that people today need to learn as they expect success to come after just making a few videos on either TikTok or Youtube and aren't willing to spend the time needed to put in the work and to put in the effort to reach there dreams in the first place and therefore when they do fail to reach there goals they don't blame themselves for not putting in the work they'll blame everyone around them and yet films like this one do show us that if you do put in the work then success will come granted it might not come ass quickly as you want to and it might not last long but it will be worth it when it gets there and while it cold well be argued that the family don't reach there goals at the end of this film as it's not until the TV series that they reach there final new home they still did put in the time and the effort to make a real go and being farmers in the first place and while fair enough it didn't work out for them this time around who to say that the next time they try it they won't take what they learnt from this time and apply it to this new attempt.

As was just mentioned this film is based on the book of the same name by author Laura Ingalls Wilder with the books being very loosely based on her childhood. Just based off of a very quick reading on the books Wikipedia page it does seem like that this film is a mostly accurate adaptation of the book with there only being a very very minor differences between the book and the film like for example in the book the family all get malaria which is something that never happens in the film and while there scenes with two Indians in the film there's nothing about them meeting at the nearby river bottoms and unnerving some of the settlers with there war cries altho it is hinted that it was one of the Indians that set the family's home and barn on fire towards the end of the film. To be fair given how auto biographical that the books are in this series it might be very hard for the makers of this film to have done an adaptation that is pretty much just the book but on screen and yet they did do there best as it does feel like it is just a more shorter version of the book and while the books are made for little children this film instead feels like it was made more for a family audience with it feeling like the makers of this film where chasing the same family audience that checked in to watch The Waltons as both shows did try to attract more of a family audience with the inly major difference being that this film was technically based on a true story, while the book doesn't seem like it was afraid to put the family in danger as the Wikipedia does explain as such here really the only character that does get put in any real danger is Jack the dog with the family themselves not really facing any danger until near the end of the film when there house and barn is set on fire.

While it would have been super easy for the makers of this film to have the film be littered with things that wouldn't get payed off until the TV series started airing. Here in this film really the only real tease of the show comes right at the end of the film where the family are forced to vacate there new home when some soldiers tell them that they have to and even then it's debatable on if that is a tease for the show as the show wasn't even being planned at the time that this film came out and the book does have a very similar ending to it but given the fact that the first shot of the show is the family airing in what would become the series main setting it is a safe bet to say that the ending of this film could serve as a tease for the show. Heck even it's ending doesn't give the characters the happy ending that they really did deserve as they still do loose there new home and are again forced to move on all for something that they had no control over with this being something that we do see anger Charles and yet he has to go along with it and while it would have been very easy for the makers of this film to give the characters there happy ending that not only wouldn't be true to the books and it would go against the films message of just because you work hard for something doesn't always mean that you'll get it as while the family do spend about a year in this new house trying to build a sustainable life for themselves they are still at the whim and mercy of a government that doesn't really care all that much about them and therefor they have to give up on this house that they all spent time in helping build just because of the fact that a new line was drawn and there house wasn't on the right side of it. This is something that was a smart thing for the makers of this film to include as it does allow for the makers of this film to be true to the books and it does allow them to be truthful in there messaging and seeing how the family does cope with essentially being evicted from there home which is something that they wouldn't be able to do if they went the more fairy tale way and gave the family the happy ending that yes was deserves but it would have gone against the original books in the process.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which for a made for TV movie is pretty much the bogstandard running time and while this film does take a huge while to really get going when the film does get going it doesn't let up and even with the film having this amount of running time it does at times oddly feel both the right and wrong running time for the film to have as at times the film does feel like a bunch of scenes that are very loosely connected together and yet at the same time it's with the film being this long that both the characters and plot have alot of time to breathe with the film having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount on running time in the first place. The film does even use its running time very wisely with the makers of this film really taking the time to fully develop its plot as while at times it doesn't seem like there is a plot forming the film does take the time to sprinkle in things early on the film that do end up becoming major plot points in the film like for example the film shows us the journey that the family have to go on just to get there new home which might not seem like much but then during a harsh winter we see one of there friends decide to take that same journey just to see them again with it being that person that does end up saving Christmas for them which granted doesn't seem like much but it is something that does show us the audience that the makers of this film did put alot of thought and effort into making this films plot feel as well developed at it is. The same thing is also true for the films character development as while it could be argued that all of the films main characters don't really need character development in this film as they would of course get it in the show the makers of the film do still take the time to show us moments with each of the family members where they do grow as people like for example we do see that Laura doesn't agree with her father alot of the time and yet during one of there minor arguments she does get to see the kind of choices that he has to make on a daily basis which does cause her to almost see him in a new light and while it is clear that the makers of this film did put more thought and effort into having the main theme of the film play over alot of scenes then they did the films character development but I really will admit that the film did have some really bad pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a drama film tat really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual drama 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 drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty. One could make the argument for the films drama being the best part of the film as it is just so well done be it from a writing , directing or acting standpoint with it feeling like that the makers of this film really knew not to drop the ball when it comes to this films drama as instead of dropping it they straight up picked the ball up and ran with it as there are alot of scenes in this film that have alot of rally good drama in it with it all feeling earned. With the best piece of drama in the whole film oddly enough not being the scene where the family have to rush to stop there house and barn from burning to the ground rather it's the more simpler scene of the family , there dog Jack and there horses crossing the river as while the family do indeed struggle to get across the river so much so that Charles has to get out of carriage and lead the horses himself Jack isn't so luck as while he does try to swim across to the other side he gets swept away in the current with the family believing him dead as Charles himself goes and walks downstream for miles and can't find him with Laura herself taking it the hardest as to her Jack was more then just a dog he was her best friend this does make the reveal of him being alive and well all the more heartwarming as there is real joy and real happiness in the eyes of the makers of this film during that scene with the rest of the films drama being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall the new Netflix Little House On The Prairie TV series does have a lot to live up to as this one film gave us really likable characters that we want to see more off which is something that the new Netflix version will have to do if it really wants to succeed and be as good as not only the original show was but also what this film as well as this film is just 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 film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn 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 Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

X-Men '97 "Days Of Past Future" . "A Force To Be Reckoned With" AND "Rise Of Apocalypse Part 1" SPOILER FILLED Review

Finally after waiting since 2024 for new episode the new season of X-Men '97 has finally begun with the first three episodes having dropped at the same time. This is an odd way to release these first three episodes as the third one is quite literally part one of a two part story and well as I was a huge fan of this show when the first season was being released you all just knew that I had to check out these episodes the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episodes that see the X-Men scattered across time itself with the episodes in question being called simply just "Days Of Past Future" . "A Force To Be Reckoned With" and "Rise Of Apocalypse Part 1" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes in Days Of Past Future Scott , Jean , Storm and whole host of X-Men find themselves trapped in the future where they have to defeat Apocalypse in order to try and get home to there own time whilst in A Force To Be Reckoned With Cable , Sunspot , Jubilee Psylocke and more discover innocent mutants are bein taken prisoner and in Rise Of Apocalypse Part 1 in Egypt the rest of the X-Men and Magneto form an alliance with En Sabah Nur. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. With A Force To Be Reckoned With perhaps having the best plot of these episodes just due to the fact that it does have a rather interesting idea that being what does the world look like with the X-Men in it and seeing how people to do react to that is something that does make that episode alot more interesting to watch. However on the flip side of that tho is the fact that the other two episodes do have some really good plots of there own and while Rise Of Apocalypse does get slightly easier as it is the first part of a two part episode there it isn't fair to fully judge that episode it does still tell a really good story and the approach to the storytelling across all three episodes is a rather fun way to link all three episodes together and heck it could even be argued that these first three maybe four episodes are telling one big story with the plot of these episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is Ross Malinger as En Sabah Nur / Apocalypse and Charles Xavier / Professor X , Isaac Robinson-Smith as Lucas Bishop / Bishop and Chris Potter as Nathan Summers / Cable. Also starring in these episodes is Michael Johnston as y=Young Nathan Summers , Ray Chase as Scott Summers / Cyclops , Gil Birmingham as Daniel Lone Eagle / Forge , Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey , J.P. Karliak as Kevin Sydney / Morph , Alison Sealy-Smith as Ororo Munroe / Storm , Cal Dodd as James Howlett / Wolverine , Christopher Barger as Archangel and Wing , Gates McFadden as Rachel Summers / Askani , Tony Amendola as Ozymandias , Naoko Mori as Psylocke , Rachel Kimsey as The Ship and The Computer Cube , Donna Jay Fulks as Trish Tilby , Holly Chou as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee , Gui Agustini as Roberto Da Costa / Sunspot , Adrian Hough as Strong Guy , Catherine Disher as Val Cooper , Zehra Fazal as Emma Frost / White Queen , Teddy Sears as Havok , Miatta Ade Lebile as Monent , Carolina Ravassa as Lorna Dane / Polaris , Lawrence Baye as War , George Buza as Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy / Beast , Matthew Waterson as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto and Eson , Adrian Hough as Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler , Lenore Zann as Anna-Marie Raven / Rogue , Michael Dorn as Baal , Debra Wilson as Candra , Adetokumboh M'Cormack as En Sabah Nur , Chris Britton as General Logos and John De Lancie as Rama-Tut.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. Much like with the first season the acting in these three episodes is so good with this something that does make alot of sense as alot of this episodes actors are reprising their roles from the original show and even those that aren't are still coming back from the first season with all of the episodes returning actors having a good grip on there characters where the acting does somewhat faulter is with the acting coming from the actors that are just joining this show as alot of them do feel like that there trying to hard to hold there own with the series established actors with that being something that does oddly enough hold them back. With the best actor in these episodes being Holly Chou as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee as even tho she only appears in episode two she does leave a lasting impact with it being clear as day that she really has grown into the character and while no one will ever be able to top what Alyson Court did with the character in the original show Holly is doing a good enough job of being the voice of this character for this new generation with her putting enough of a spin on the character that it doesn't feel like that she's ripping of what Alyson Court did back in the nineties with her giving the character an infectious but almost real energy to the character with this being some thing that really does shine through in her performance. With the acting that's in these episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes are just so good that all these episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these very episodes.

Doing the animation for these episodes is Red Dog Culture House , Jam Filled Entertainment , Tiger Animation and Studio Mir. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. This again much like with the episodes acting isn't all that new as the first season did have some really good and high quality animation in it that at times was feature film worthy and going off of these three episodes that is a trend that does seem to have continued. As while yes the animation in Rise Of Apocalypse Part 1 isn't as good the animation in the other two episodes compared to something on say for example Netflix or Nickelodeon it is still really good animation with the only thing that does let the animation down in that episode being the fact that the backgrounds aren't as good as they are in the other episodes as in episodes 1 and 2 you do get these really stunning backgrounds that help to make the world of the show feel all the more real where as in Rise Of Apocalypse due to the fact that that episode takes place in Egypt there's only so much that the makers of this episode can do to give to us stunning backgrounds and while they do do the best that they can do it just wasn't good enough. However tho all three episodes have animation that really does come alive during the episodes respective action scenes with the animation helping to make the action in all three episodes all the more exciting and fun to watch with this being especially true for the action in A Force To Be Reckoned With and heck it does feel like that the makers of this show had alot of fun with the action and the animation in that episode as it looks nothing like the animation in the rest of the episode.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a reason why Days Of Past Future hasn't really been talked about all that much in this review and that's due to the fact that not alot really happens in that episode that is worth talking about in the first place. Just to be clear its not a bad episode by any means as it does do a serviceable enough job in setting up Forge and Bishops quest to get the X-Men back to the nineties as well as showing us what life if like for a large group of the X-Men in the future but outside of that and maybe one scene with Young Nathan and his parents there's not really alot to that episode it is still a fun action packed episode that does feel in line with this show it's just one that could have been done alot more better and been alot more better. With the true standout episode for me being episode 2 A Force To Be Reckoned With as we do see Cable form X-Force and take the government approved group X Factor with this version of X-Force being better then the one in Deadpool 2 due to the fact that they actually made it to the end of there mission in this episode and heck that episode even went the extra mile by having an X-Force exclusive show intro which was a lot of fun to see and is somethin that does feel like we are going to be getting in alot of the other episodes as well as both episode 1 and 3 had intros that just showed off who was going to be in the episode, this version of X-Force does seem to be a really violent group which is kind of the point as they have all lost someone important to them as Cable does believe his parents to have died at the end of season one and Sunspot and Jubilee have of course lost there found family with the X-Men there of course this group would be more violent and the fact that they have characters like Psylocke and Archangel along with a former slave of Apocalypse, it does make sense that they would be more violent and heck that does create a nice contrast with X Factor who are doing things the government approved way with Jubilee pointing out that she knows what Cable is fighting for despite his more violent nature but she can't tell what X Factor is fighting for as they are the ones rounding up innocent mutants.

It's weird that Disney chose to have the first part of a two part episode be released with the first three episodes of this new season. As while the episode does in a way that does make you want to see more as the episode ends with Bishop finding the other X-Men and and knowing who En Sabah Nur does become in the future takes him out as well which does go against the pact that the X-Men in that time had made with him in exchange for him helping them get back to there own time there was still no reason for them to release this episode along with the other two episodes as while its not a bad way to release the episode it also makes no sense as the other two are telling complete stories where as here it is literally a set up for next weeks episode. Surely then it would have made sense to either have released the first four episodes and and have Part 2 be released along with Part 1 rather then just releasing that opening part which isn't a bad episode but it not does make it fully hard to judge that episode as none of us have seen how the story ends for this two part episode, however tho this is something that could also be seen as being a genius move as now alot of us are going to be talking the episode all week with alot of counting the days until the episode does get released which in turn would drive up numbers for Disney+ something which wouldn't be possible if the episode was released with the other three episodes and to this end you do have to give Marvel credit for sticking to releasing one episode a week after this weeks drop ss that is a good way to get more and more people coming back to Disney+ to see how the rest of the season plays out and while you can make an argument that releasing one episode a week is old fashioned its also something that does work. The only real downside being the fact that it does mean Disney releasing this episode when they have no intention of releasing part 2 until next week when they could have just dropped episodes 1 and 2 and it would have worked just fine.  

Whilst Days Of Past Future is pretty much a nothing episode there is still some good to be found in the episode itself. Like for example we get to see Forge and Storm reunite as well as Nathan pretty much discover that he himself has powers much like his mother does and we do get to see some pretty good scenes with Wolverine but again for alot of this episode nothing really happens with it only being when the episode nears it's end that they decide to go into the city to destroy the future version of Apocalypse with it being there where the episode does start to get good with Nathan and his parents having a pretty sweet heart t heart as both Scott and Jean know that once they are done in the future they have to go back to there present and thus never see there son again until he grows up and goes back in time to see them which is a pretty heartbreaking scene to see. Due to the fact that no parent wants to spend along time without getting to see their child and yet that's the very thing that these people are being forced to do and yet they do it not because of the fact that its the easy thing to do rather they do it because of the fact that it is the right thing to do as they know that leaving Nathan in the future is the right thing for him due to the fact that that is where he is most safe and while Nathan won't understand that when he is just a boy it is something that he will come to understand later on in life as Cable, this scene is really the only reason to watch this episode as while its not a bad episode as it does serve as a good way to reintroduce the characters it kind of feels like a James Bind pre-titles scene in that it's only there to get you excited for what's to come and nothing more then that and in this regard that episode does succeed in doing just that but at the same time tho given the fact that this season is only nine episodes long this episode could have been just as good if not better then what the other two episodes are as the others are the more interesting episodes and this one whilst it is still a good episode is just kind of there and that's really it.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty minuets and forty two second whilst episode two is twenty six minuets and fifty eight seconds and episode three is twenty six minuets and forty two seconds. These are all pretty much the bogstandard running times for this show as this show very rarely goes o for that long and to be fair given the fact that episode three is the first part of a two part episode it really does need to that amount of time in order to tell it's story in a way that doesn't do harm to it but is rather in service of it and heck this is something that is also true for the other three episodes as well with them all having the right amount of plot there to cover there respective running times. With all three episodes using there running times as wisely as they could have done as they all do take the time to add things to there plots that do make there plots feel alot more developed and while we will of curs have to wait until next week to see if Rise Of Apocalypse was a story that was worth telling in two parts just based off of this episode that does seem to be a yes as they do cram in alot of plot in this first part and yet none of it feels wasted and none of it feels like its there just for filler as alot of it does feel like it's inservice of the two part plot of getting the X-Men back home and alot of it does feel like it's service of the season long plot whatever that ends up being with being clear as day that the makers of this show did put alot of thought and effort into all three episodes plots. This also something that's true for the episodes characters development as while of course the characters don't really need to get any kind of character development in these episodes we do see Magneto act more like a hero using the things that he learnt at the end of the previous season and putting it to good use and that is something that he just would have not have dine even in the previous season and yet it is something that he does here with him being more of a confidant to En Sabah Nur with it being made clear as day that the makers of this show did put alot of thought into giving the characters that needed character development character development but I really will admit that all of these episodes have some really good pacing to them tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. With all three episodes having at the very least one action scene in them with the action feeling right at home with classic Saturday mornings kids cartoons as they do have that very campy and over the top feel to them and it's something that does oddly work for all of the action scenes across all three episodes. With the best action scene in all three episodes being the scene where Jubilee escapes the you could say prison that X Factor are holding her in as she does go about from cell to cell using her powers to break out all of the other mutants not only on rollerblades but also while beating up several guards this is something that does prove that when her done right her character can be a bada*s as we get to see her using her powers to blind the guards before then coming in with either a kick . flip or a punch to knock them out with her just causing havoc all other the place and its something that does look so good in the episode with the action in that episode really being helped by the fact that the animation makes it come alive as up until that point whilst the animation had still been really good you could tell that they were cutting corners a bit with the budget and when this action scene comes up you see why as this is where action gets to truly shine with all of the kicks and punches looking like that they hurt with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall if you haven't done already go and check out these episodes as while Days Of Future Past isn't the best episode of this show it is still a really good episode in it's own right with all three episodes being episodes that people who loved the first season of this show are going to love in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these episodes in this very review  and as such that really does mean that episode 1 earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.0 out 10 , episode 2 earns itself a 8 out of 10 and episode 3 earns itself 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 hat I personally used in this very from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

X-Men '97 "Tolerance Is Extinction" Review

In a few short days time the second season of the second greatest X-Men animated series behind of course X-Men: The Animated Series returns for more new episodes. It is safe to say that X-Men '97 was everything that a good revival should be as it respected what came before it but then it pushed things in directions that we never expected it to and as I was not only a huge fans of the original animated series growing up as a kid but I also watched every single episode of this revival when it was first airing you all just knew that I had to produce a tie in review for this second season and well what better tie in the first season finale and so then join me as I review the episodes that see the X-Men get pushed beyond there breaking points with the episodes in question being called simply just "Tolerance Is Extinction" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is Bastion launches his plan to take over the world by turning humans into living breathing Sentinels forcing the X-Men to fight like they have never thought before but something far more sinister lurks beneath the surface which will change the team as we know them. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. To put it frankly the plot of these episodes isn't just TV good it's movie quality good as you can very easily see the plot for these episodes being the plot of an X-Men movie. As the plot does give you all of the drama and it raises all of the stakes to not only get you hooked into what's going on but it also keeps you wondering just what is going to happen next and while yes the plot could have been alot more stronger in some places as some characters arcs don't really get resolved but at the same time tho this is a plot that does give you everything that you want to see with it feeling more in line with the classic X-Men show then what they were doing in the movies at the time, yet at the same time tho there are things in the third part of this part finale that do feel undercooked like the stuff with Magneto and Charles which does go nowhere in the grand scheme of things and yet even that is still some really interesting stuff, plot wise this is pretty much the perfect X-Men finale plot as it does give you all of the cool stuff with the characters whilst also giving you a plot that you could see working really well in an X-Men movie with the plot of these episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is Ross Marquand as Charles Xavier / Professor X , Doctor Doom and  Apocalypse and Matthew Waterson as  Erik "Magnus" Lehnsherr Magneto , Overeager Journalist , World Leader 1. Also starring in these episodes is Theo James as Bastion , Ray Chase as Scott Summers / Cyclops , Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey , Female Prime , World Leader 3 , Lenore Zann as Anna-Marie Raven / Rogue , George Buza as Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy / Beast , Gil Birmingham as Forge , Alison Sealy-Smith as Ororo Munroe / Storm , Isaac Robinson-Smith as Lucas Bishop / Bishop and T'Chaka , Chris Potter as Nathan Summers / Cable , Adrian Hough as Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler , Holly Chou as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee and A Chinese OZT Member , Gui Agustini as Roberto Da Costa / Sunspot , Chris Britton as Nathaniel Essex / Mister Sinister , Gates McFadden as Rachel Summers / Mother Askani , J.P. Karliak as Kevin Sydney / Morph , Reverened Stryker , Radio Jockey and World Leader 2 , Adetokumboh M'Cormack as En Sabah Nur , Josh Keaton as Steve Rogers / Captain America , Catherine Disher as Val Cooper , Cal Dodd as James Howlett / Wolverine , Theo Chou as Sebastion Gilberti / Bastion and The Sentinels , Ron Rubin as President Robert Kelly , Kari Wahlgren as Rose , Donna Jay Fulks as Trish Tilby , The Bespectacled Teacher and A Female Teacher , Christine Uhebe as Nina Da Costa , Anjali Bhimani as Daria and A News Anchor , Rama Vallury as Baron Zemo , Jeff Bennett as Ford , Eric Bauza as Master Mold and The Prime Sentinels , Morla Gorrondonna as Lilandra Neramani and Rachel Kimsey as A News Anchor , The News Pundits and A Computer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. The fact that we have alot of really good acting in all three of these episodes is something that's not really all that surprising as alot of the actors that re in these episodes are either A a bunch of really good actors in there own right or B are reprising their roles from the original show either way it does make sense that the acting in all three of these episodes would be top notch and heck the same could even be said for the acting in the whole first season of the show as a whole. With the best actor in all of these episodes being Lenore Zann as Anna-Marie Raven / Rogue as she does give us a Rogue that is very much filled with rage and hate and yet the same time you can tell that there is a sadness in her eyes with her knowing full well that what she's doing isn't who she is as a person and is only acting this way as she has lost the love of her life with this being somethin Lenore does just by using her voice and it something that does get across just what this character s thinking and feeling at any given moment in these episodes and it is something that really does shine through in her final performance. With the acting that's in these episode really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these very episodes.

Doing the animation for these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio Mir. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. These episodes animation was alot more better then what it really had any right to be as while yes the animation in the rest of the show was drop gorgeous at times there was no guarantee that that would be the case in these final three episodes as the makers of these episodes could have dropped the ball animation wise. Thankfully they did not as these episodes do maintain the series already high bar when it comes to its animation by giving us lots of really nice looking background and creative scenes that could only work in the realm of animation, this is something that the original series did as well and it was fun to see that trend continue in these three episodes and heck the characters do get some really fluid movements to them which is something that does make them feel alot more alive but the issue when it comes to the animation being the fact that there are some shots that do look a little weird when the characters are standing still and the episodes action doesn't get as fluid animation as the rest of the episodes get and while these are indeed small things that don't really harm the episodes on the whole they are also things that could have been fixed before the episodes got released as they are things that the people watching these episodes will notice.  

The one common theme threw all three of these episodes is the idea of dreams and how they can be used to either do some good or turn into something that we are not. Like for example with Rogue as she has just lost Gambit the love of her life and therefor her faith in Xaviers dream of a world where Mutants and humans can liv side by side is shaken because of the fact that she doesn't want to loose another friend or loved one with this temporarily turning her into a villain with the same thing being true for Sunspot as after his mother turned him in just for being a mutant he doesn't know who or what to believe anymore so again he sides with Magneto much like Rogue herself does this is something that does make the two characters the very thing that they both not as they not bad people and yet because of the fact that they've both had there faith shaken in different they are forced to become these new people even if its for a little while. The same thing is true for the villains as well as we see Bastion get his dream tested when the X-Men tell him that his beloved mother lied to him and that Charles had come to visit him but that she turned him away whilst this doesn't force him to change his dream it does cause him to somewhat faulter in his dream and the same thing is true for Magneto as he has spent so long being evil that he forgot that he and Charles shared the sake goal only Magneto somewhere along the way did have his ream more warped into what it was during the original series run with it only being when Charles confronts him inside his own mind that he does remember what his original dream was and while it will of course be hard to say if the character is changed for good just based off of what we see in the final moments of the third part of this episode it does seem like Magneto has become more of an anti-hero, these episodes do a good job of showing us just what the power of having a dream can have on us as it can make us into great people or it can drown us and become warped because f the things that we go through in life.

Shockingly this episodes does also include alot of silent cameos from other nineties Marvel animated heroes. As we get both Spider-Man and Peter Parker not only taking part in helping New York City but also finally being reunited with Mary Jane but we also get Doctor Strange , Daredevil and Iron Man all of which were really fun to see as these characters do all live in the same city and therefor they would of course all be willing to help out should a threat come that's two big for any of them to handle and with alot of them having already crossed over with each other before now it does make sense that they would reappear in this episode. With the only downside to this being the fact that alot of them are just relegated to being silent cameos with the only two that get speaking lines being Captain America and T'Chaka who may or may not be Black Panther in this universe as it would have been really cool to hear Spider-Man having a chat with Mary Jane or it would have been awsome to see Daredevil and Spider-Man helping each other out bottom line being here is that there was alot of really cool things that the makers of these episodes could have dine with these characters and while fair enough it might have been seen as being over kill to have all of these heroes play even a small role in these episodes given the fact that the fanbase for this show does skew alot more older then the typical Marvel animated show does it would have been fun to see these characters that we knew as kids talk once again and while it was still great that we got to see them at all does feel like a let down and fair enough this is an X-Men show and therefor you want the focus to be on them but if your going to go out of your way to include several scenes with them then at least have them do or say something that does feel true to there character as there s no way that Tony Stark would just be standing in a room whilst all of this is going down.

Bastion is such a cool idea for a villain with him being someone who like DCs Cyborg can hear machines only he takes it in a more villainous route by using them to build Sentinels that are merged with human beings. Thus making it hard to tell who is a robot and who isn't with this being something that all three of these episodes handle really well as we see that characters that we thought were allies to the X-Men were actually robots this whole time with the only thing that could have made this all the more better being if some of those allies had helped them out in previous episodes and had gotten close to various members of the team as this is something that would make that big reveal at the end of part one be all the more shocking. To be fair to these episodes they do take it about as far as they possibly could have done with humans being robots as they are mainly used as a distraction for our heroes and to give Bastion his own robot army with this being something that does show us the audience that he really does think about two or three steps ahead of everyone else with it only being when the X-Men start to do the same thing that they actually start to gain an advantage over him and this is something that a good villain should do as a good villain should always force the hero to be better and to think outside of the box, heck we even get to find out why Bastion is evil as we find out that he's been hearing machines since he was a kid with being something that does slowly drive him crazy to the point where he thinks that the only way to get rid of the talking in his head is to destroy the X-Men and is to turn humans into robots that could kills them with him even having seen a future where he did succeed and was actually happy and heck he even turned his own mother into a Sentinel as that's how far of the deep end he had gone.

Now then these episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of really no longer then forty minuets. With episode one being thirty one minuets and twenty six seconds , episode two being twenty minuets ad twenty one seconds and episodes three being forty minuets and three seconds, with all three episodes really earning there running time as they are all telling this one epic story and the fact that the final episode of the first season is the longest episode of all of the episodes does tell you just how epic that this three parter is as that one episode does have alot of plot to cover and to do son in shorter amount of time would do a huge disservice to the plot of the episodes as a whole with these episodes really having enough plot there to really cover that large amount of running time in the first place. With the episodes really using there running times wisely as they do take alot of time to fully develop the episodes plot with them adding in things that do effect in a major way be it from Magneto being let go from where he was hidden by Bastion to the leaders of the human race deciding to bomb the asteroid that the X-Men are on in the hopes that it won't fall down and wipe out the earth these are all things that the makers of this episode really didn't have to include but the fact that they did does show us that they knew that they had to give us a satisfactory ending and that does mean giving us a well thought out and developed plot. The same thing is also kind of true for the episodes character development as while we do see what it is that might turn Magneto into more of an anti hero in this next season as it is him that not only saves Charles but also the world and the other X-Men we don't really see what it is that causes Rogue to go back to being a good guy which whilst this is a small thing given the fact that we saw the thought process of her deciding to essentially become a bad guy even if it was for a few minuets it still would have been nice if we got to understand why she flipped back to being a good guy but I really will admit that these episodes really does have some really good pacing to them tho. 

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / resented to us in these very 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. With all three episodes having some really fun action in them all of which d take as full advantage of the fact that there are being animated as they possibly could have done and while we don't get to see alot of the team fighting together in alot of this three parter whenever we do that's when we get some of the more really cool stuff happening as it will always be cool seeing all of the X-Men fighting together and using there powers together. With the best action scene being in part three as we get to see alot of the X-Men that are still alive on the Asteroid not only trying to hold of Bastion but also trying to stop the Asteroid from falling to earth with them only just being able to defeat Bastion when they put on a collar that cancels out his powers but then the mutants have another problem as the humans bomb the Asteroid which does start to make it fall to earth all the while inside his a mind an unconscious Charles has to get Magneto to remember who he is so that they can escape his mind and which is something that they only just barely manage to do, this one episode is basically one long action scene with there being very few breaks inbetween the action think of it as the Mad Max: Fury Road but of TV animation and you'll get the idea and yet it does oddly work because of it with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if this three parter is anything go by then the next season does have an awful lot to live up to as my god were all three episodes of this show just so good that is really saying something when you take into account that the rest of the show really is just so good 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 these episodes in this very review and as such that really does mean that these episodes really do earn themselves a grand total combine score of exactly a 10 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 Blogger , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
