My Own Personal Top 5 WORST And Top 5 BEST Films Of 2021

 


Film fans it is that time of year again where I rundown my own personal top 5 WORST and my own personal top 5 BEST films of the past year. Now then as per-usual the same rules will apply which means that the films in question have to have had a UK release date of 2021 and I have to have seen the films in question and yes I will also be counting in direct to DVD movies as well and so yeah enjoy this post everyone.

WORSE

5) NIGHT OF THE ANIMATED DEAD  


Heck I said that I was including some direct to DVD movies in this very post and well then I freaking meant it. Since this film is one in hundreds if not thousands of remakes and re-adaptations of the 1968 George A. Romero classic film Night Of The Living Dead and well this film is just as bad and just as pointless as all of the other unofficial remakes of Night Of The Living Dead in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then what makes this film the worst film of the year for me is the fact that this film was a pointless remake that cuts out all of the dark subtext and the very bleak ending instead choosing to go for alot more of hopeful ending. Which just ruins the film and it ruins the idea behind the film and it's film in which if he were alive today would have George A. Romero himself publicly disowning the film in question in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

4) RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RECOON CITY


So now then was there seriously anybody whom even wanted this film to be made because as far as I can remember there was nobody online even claiming to even want this film to be made in the first freaking place. Which is a shame because a more game accurate movie adaptation of the Resident Evil games world could make for a good movie if it was handled by a more competent writer and director in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then the Resident Evil live action films have a tradition for being pretty bad movies and well then this film had the chance to actually break away from that tradition and be actually really freaking good. However tho this film chose to stick to that tradition by being really freaking bad and yet also by somehow being alot worse then all of the previous live action Resident Evil movie made combined in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

3) MORTAL KOMBAT 2021


So now then everybody pretty much agrees that the nineties live action Mortal Kombat while cheesy aren't exactly faithful to the games upon which they are based upon. So then when it was announced that Warner Bros Pictures would be making a new Mortal Kombat movie that be alot more violent and thus alot more in tone with that of the video games well then fans and none fans alike were excited however that excitement very quickly fell by the wayside within the first fifteen minuets of this movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then what really did quell alot of peoples excitement for this movie was the fact that instead of focusing this films main plot line and an already established and fan favourite character from the video games. The makers of this film instead chose to create a wholly new character and not helping is the fact that despite the Mortal Kombat tournament being mentioned quite alot within the confides of this film there is no actual Mortal Kombat tournament to be seen at all which really is a bad thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

2) THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS  


So now then this film is quite literally the newest film to be released that's also on the worse end of this post overall and for good reason as well. Since The idea of having a fourth Matrix movie is one that has excited people for years and so when it was announced in 2019 that the fourth film in the The matrix film and multi media franchise would finally be happening and with two of the original stars and half of the original creators on board fans were very understandably excited for this film however what we got was a very uneven mess of a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I will very freaking fully admit that it was a toss up between this film and another film for the top of this list but I went with this film simply because this film is not only boring but it's confusing as well. Heck this film is so confusing that alot of this films cast had no idea what was actually going on and speaking to this film's director and co-writer Lana Wachowski really didn't help things out at all which is always a freaking sure fire sign of a bad freaking movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

1) TOM & JERRY 2021


So now then we are finally at the end of what I personally think are the worst films of 2021 and so we end this list with ironically enough how we began it with an animated movie. The difference is this film is just forgettable at best but it's clear as day that the makers of this film had good intentions and are quite clearly trying to make a good film but instead all they ended up doing was making a very average film at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then there quite clearly is alot of actual effort being thrown into this film and it really does indeed show through in the final product. However tho this film has a very lackluster script and it's not even explained at all as to why Tom & Jerry are even in New York at all this is despite the fact that the trailers for this film actually tried to give us that very freaking vital piece of information and plus this film has very freaking pointless celebrity wedding subplot which really isn't needed in this freaking film at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

BEST

5) BEING THE RICARDOS


So now then that we are now officially and finally done with all of the top 5 worst films of this year we can now freaking finally move onto the top 5 best film of this year and what I film to start of this portion of this post with. Since this film was very freaking well written even tho it was lacking a few things like an actual plot it was still that I personally very much freaking enjoyed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film was in all honesty alot freaking better then what I personally thought that it was going to be. Since on paper this film sounded like it was going to be a pretty freaking bad movie however tho I was pleasantly surprised at how exactly good that this little film was and while there are much better films out there this film very easily gets a must recommendation from me since this film is that freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

4) ENCANTO


So now then this film is of course the newest film to be released by Walt Disney pictures and it's a film that I just adored watching. Since this film is just pure and simply fun to watch and there's nothing wrong with that at all since a film doesn't always need a deep plot or even complicated characters to make it a good film sometimes just being a freaking fun and very freaking colourful film is enough and that is most certainly the case for this film in my very freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then what really does let this film down and what kept this film from getting the top spot on this post is the fact that there really isn't much of a plot. Which does work both for and against this film but this film also doesn't that many memorable songs which for a musical isn't really a good thing at all since the main selling point of any musical is nearly always that particular films particular songs in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

3) GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE


So now then we get to the film that resurrected a fanbase after Ghostbusters 2016 literally divided it in half. This if a film that I will very fully admit to being very freaking cautious about since the 2016 Ghostbusters movie looked good to me and well we all now how badly that movie turned out and so when this film was announced I was quite naturally a little skeptical but low and behold this film blew me away with how good this film freaking was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then for me at least this film was really well written and it had some really strong characters that with a few movies under there belts could very well stand up on there two feet. However tho this film lacks something that all comedies should never lack and that's good jokes since this film really isn't all that freaking funny to me personally tho which is a shame because this film is well and truly good if not great for the most part in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

2) SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME 


So now then I know that quite alot of people will not like me putting this film where I have done but once you see what the number one film is I hope that you'll understand my reasoning. Since even tho this film is indeed a a very good film it's also a very freaking flawed film not enough to keep it from being to a perfect but there's enough flaws for me to give this film the number 2 spot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I will also very freaking fully admit that it was hard for me to choose which film gets the number one spot this year. Since both this film and the number 1 best film are indeed some very freaking good films however what topped it for me personally is that the number 1 best film was just a little bit memorable then what this film and that's a key thing for me personally tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

1) NO TIME TO DIE


So then this is a film that I have literally waited years to see and even tho this film has some shall we say questionable things within it. Those shall we also say decisions didn't stop me from seeing the film not once but twice because for that me at least is a sign of a good film if I go back watch a film again at the cinema then the film has done something right and that is most certainly the case for /with  this freaking at least film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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 Resident Evil fandom wiki page ,the official Tom & Jerry fandom wiki page ,the official Mortal Kombat fandom wiki page , the official The Matrix fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Ghostbusters fandom wiki page , the official James Bond fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use for high quality images being the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page just because nearly all of the images that are featured / presented to us up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are nearly always very freaking high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

WWE New Year's Revolution 2006 Review

 


WWE fans we are just a few short days away until new years day and the first official WWE ppv of 2022 and as such I thought that i would do a review of another new years themed WWE PPV. I will very much admit that I for got that this show existed since pretty much every single iteration of this PPV was never that good to begin with and so join as I review the PPV that was the first official WWE PPV of 2006 with the PPV in question being freaking called simply just "WWE New Year's Revolution" enjoy.

The main storyline being this show is that of the feud between John Cena , Kurt Angle , Shawn Michaels , Kane , Carlito and Chris Masters. This is really the only major storyline that we have going into this show and it's also the only storyline that I don't actually remember about this show which is a shame because a storyline involving these six guys should have been really freaking good and as well as being really freaking memorable as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show is basically just two screens with one of the screens being surrounded by a mockup of the Elimination Chamber. Now then in terms of what I actually thought / felt about the set that was actually used in this actual PPV well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual set that was actually used in this actual PPV was at best just simply just OK in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then as for why I thought that the actual set that was actually used in this actual PPV well it's just because out of the Elimination Chamber mockup. There was really nothing new that actually really stood out to me personally and as such this PPV set just comes across as looking very average at best which is a shame because of the fact that the Elimination Chamber mockup does look pretty freaking cool in my pretty freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then I actually forgot how funny of a ditzy blonde interviewer character that Maria was since she actually got a laugh out of me during this show. Which was truly surprising since the ditzy and dumb and forgetful blonde type of character very rarely if ever gets a laugh out of me and so for Maria to actually get a laugh just goes to show you how good the comedy was for this character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since I hadn't really watched Mickie James wrestle for quite some time I had genuinely forgotten how good of a wrestler Mickie James really freaking is. Since even in these very freaking early years of the WWE Divas era Mickie James was always a highlight to watch and it was great for me at least to rediscover just how exactly good Mickie James well and truly was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now out of the two women's matches that we had on this card I have to say that the Mickie James Vs Trish Stratus match was easily the best one. This is simply because the other match was a bra and panties gauntlet match and was just nothing more then a comedy p*ss break match but with that being said tho the gauntlet match was easily the more fun of the two women's matches that we got on this card in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I did really like the Big Show vs Triple H match simply just due to the selling that the The Big Show does in that match. Which to me at least helped elevate this match because on paper these two shouldn't mesh well enough together but when you have the The Big Show selling every attack on his "broken" hand it really does add something to this otherwise just plain average match in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this particular WWE PPV has / had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and thirty nine minuets and forty one seconds. Which when you add in the fact that the bra and panties gauntlet match is well over eleven minuets it really does make this PPV feel like it's going on for a freaking tad bit longer then what it really freaking needs to be in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since this is a wrestling show that means that I have to talk about the actual wrestling matches that are actually featured / presented to us on this very wrestling show and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us on this very wrestling show was at best OK. Which is a shame because alot of the wrestlers that are competing on this show are some genuinely some really good freaking wrestlers and so it's just a shame that we didn't really get any truly great matches on this very wrestling show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this show was just average at best which for your first wrestling PPV of the year is not really a good thing at all since you always want to start of the year one your best freaking foot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are on this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very WWE PPV 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 personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page  actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as freaking being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

My Spoiler Filled First Impressions of The Book Of Boba Fett

 



Star Wars the day that we have all been waiting for is now finally here since we finally have a brand new live action Star Wars TV show and well you can bet that I was going to check this show out the very first chance that I got. So then join me as I give you all my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that many of us have been waiting for with the TV show in question being called simply just "The Book Of Boba Fett" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is in all honesty very hard for me to describe not because of any spoilers but because there is no real plot to actually speak. Which other shows would be a huge freaking problem but with both this show and with the The Mandalorian it's not that much of an issue since both of these shows use visual storytelling to help tell whatever story that there currently trying to tell but tho at the exact same time tho you still need to be telling a actual story tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett , Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand and Matt Berry as The Voice Of 8D8. Also starring in this episode is David Pasquesi as Mok Shaiz's Majordomo , Jennifer Beals as Garsa Fwip , Wesley Kimmel as Tusken Kid , Xavier Jimenez as A Tusken Chief , Joanna Bennett as A Tusken Warrior , Dawn Dininger as A Rodian Prisoner , Barry Lowin as Garfalaquox , this episodes director Robert Rodriguez as Dokk Strassi , Frank Trigg as A Gamorrean Guard , Collin Hymes as A Gamorrean Guard , Marlon Aquino as A Twi'lek Server and Andrea Bartlow as A Twi'lek Server.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 really freaking good. Which given that the The Mandalorian also has good acting within it's episodes as well to me it only makes that this spin off show also has some really freaking good acting within it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Doing the CGI effects for both this episode and thus for this show as a whole is Industrial Light & Magic and Legacy Effects. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI effects that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally thought / felt that the actual CGI effects that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode were really freaking good which given whom is involved with creating the CGI effects for this show really shouldn't come as a complete and total surprise to anybody whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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




Now then we are now finally into the spoilers section of this post and yeah there's one scene in particular that made this post go from being a spoiler free post to a spoiler filled post and that's the scene where we see Boba Fett escaping the freaking Sarlack. This is something that Star Wars have always wanted to see and now it's finally been confirmed that yes Boba Fett didn't die in Return Of The Jedi and his escape was freaking awesome to see as well in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So now then what I really loved about the scene where Boba Fett does indeed escape the Sarlack Pitt is the fact that we got to see a stormtrooper clearly no longer with us in there. This is simply because that it implies either the The Empire or Jabba the Hut would very freaking frequently use the Sarlack Pitt as a way to get rid of his or even there enemies which to me at least is just such a freaking cool as very freaking heck idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then this episode is basically just a basic pilot episode / first episode since it's all about setting up the world and the characters that are in this show. Which would be fine if this show was a completely new thing and not set in the main Star Wars universe however the world and the characters that are in this show have already been set up and so there was no need to make this episode as thinly drawn out as it was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly thirty seven minuets and forty seconds. Which yeah was the perfect running time for this episode simply because like I said this episode doesn't really have a story to tell and and so stretching this episode to be anywhere even close to being one hour long would be stretching an already pretty freaking thinly drawn out episode even thinner in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since this show is an action show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 wasn't that bad. The issue was / is that the action that's actually in this very episode isn't that good either which for a Star Wars product is not a very good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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



Overall this show does seem to have some promise to it since it's got a bunch of actually good writers and directors involved with actually making but so far this show isn't of on the best of foots so far in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good things and as well as all of the bad things that are in both of these episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions of the show as a whole I will not be giving you my overall rating for the show as a whole but I will say that IF I do infact continue to watch every single episode of this show then I will produce a review of this show whenever the final ever episode of this show does infact get released / airs.

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 well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page , the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the official Star Wars fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

Viz: The Coppers Torch Review

 


Viz fans it's that time of year again where I go ahead and talk a look at the latest Viz annual and well then this year is no different. I will admit that joke wise there weren't as many truly laugh out loud jokes in this book but there are still some really good things to be found in this very book and so then join as I review what is the latest annual from Viz with this particular annual being called simply just "Viz: The Coppers Torch" enjoy.

As a lot of you will know by now these annual Viz annuals don't really contain any stories there just short stories all designed and thus set up to tell a hopefully good joke at the end of them. With that in mind there were some stories in this book that I just didn't like like for example any of the 8Ace stories or any of the The Drunk Old Bakers storylines just because I just don't those characters to be that freaking funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Art wise I thought that the that was featured / presented to us in this very book was really freaking good this might be because the makers of Viz usually take there time with things and they usually keep there outwork pretty simple. This really does work well enough for Viz since the kind of stories that Viz usually tells are pretty freaking simplistic stories and so having rather simple artwork meshes well enough with the stories that they are currently / presently trying to tell in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then with all that being said I do wish that some of the male characters had some slightly different designs. Just because some of this books male characters all started to look very freaking similar to me so much so that I had very completely forgotten which comic strip was actually reading at that exact moment in time and it's something that I could see over readers having an issue with as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then of course making a return for this years annual is of course the world famous Viz newspaper stories. Which are just a pure joy to read simply because it's always funny seeing what the writers of Viz can come up with and seeing how the writers of Viz can lampoon what's currently going on in British culture and as well as in freaking British newspapers in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then one of the comic book strips that really did continue to freaking entertain the living heck out of me in this very book is a comic book called The Male Online. Just because alot of what they cover in the The Male Online comic book strips are things that people are still getting upset about on Twitter to this very freaking day which just makes the comic book strip not only still very freaking relevant but also still very freaking funny as all heck because were basically living these comic book strip storylines in real life in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then if you've read any Viz comic book then you'll know that there comic book strips are more often then not very freaking vulgar as all heck and is also chock-full to the prim of jokes and things that you wouldn't necessarily want your parents or your Grandparents to see you reading. With this book no exception to that rule since there are alot of freaking comic book strips that are in this very book that would / will make your parents or even your Grandparents be forced to ask you why your even reading such a vulgar and disgusting book in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then one of the best jokes in this book is one that is literally a James Bond parody which is something that I really did love and find to be very freaking hilarious. Simply because it was a comic book strip that I wasn't actually expecting to see and plus it was also a comic book strip that managed to hit all of the James Bond clichés whilst also putting a stereotypical Viz comic book spin on them all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this comic book strip annual is a whopping two hundred and twenty pages long which is I think the standard for these Viz annuals. However either way tho I can see alot of people whom are currently reading this review being put of by the very long page count but I ask that you all bare in mind the fact that this book is filled up with all of the best bits from a previous years worth of issues and so of course this book is going to have a freaking large page count in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then this is comedy comic book strip after all and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very comic book strip book and well then in honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very comic strip book was a very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. Since alot of this books jokes just weren't that funny to me personally but tho at the same time tho when this book does tell a good joke it really does stand out a freaking mile tho in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a rather good comic book strip comic book that was a rather good read but at the same time I could get the sense that this book a huge step down in quality from the last two years books tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good things and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very book in this very review and as such that means that this very book erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 James Bond fandom wiki page , the official Viz fandom wiki page , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images just simply due / down to the fact that Google Images has alot of images from this film and alot of the images that are on Google Images are fairly high quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

Batman "Christmas With The Joker" Review

 


Batman fans since it's both been a very long time since I last reviewed an episode of the classic Batman: The Animated Series and since it's also just a few short days until Christmas. I thought that now was oddly enough the right time to check out and then thus review a certain Christmas themed episode of the show and so then join me as I review what I think is the only Christmas themed episode of Batman: The Animated Series" with the episode in question being called simply just "Christmas With The Joker" enjoy.

The plot of this Christmas themed episode of the show is the The Joker has just escaped from Arkham Asylum and his kidnapped three people and so it's up to Batman And Robin to put a stop to The Joker's latest crime spree all on Christmas Eve before it's far to freaking late. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this episode was just your bog standard Batman and Robin adventure story with nothing new thrown in or even added to it which for a Batman Christmas is something that oddly enough works well enough for this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Donner and Robert Costanzo as Harvey Bullock and Blitzen. Also starring in this episode is Bob Hastings as James Gordon , Clive Revill as Alfred , Mark Hamill as The Joker , Mari Devon as Summer Gleeson and A Woman and Loren Lester as Dick Grayson / Robin. Now then I really did hate the hate that used got Alfred in this episode just doesn't that much like the character at all in my opinions anyways / at least.

Now then in terms 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 freaking honesty really good. Which for Batman: The Animated Series isn't an entirely new concept to behold since this show always has had and always will have some really freaking good acting in it's episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Akom Production CO.. Now then in terms 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 perhaps the worst element of this episode simply because this animation wasn't up to the already high standards of all the previous episodes animations in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then one of the many things that I actually really did like about this episode in particular was it's use of dark comedy. Which is fitting since this version of the The Joker should be doing very darkly comedic things like his whole get up / suit for this episode is very much inspired by Mister Rogers with The Joker's own TV show being a very dark and very twisted version of Mister Roger's Nebourhood in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I really did like that this episode was alot more lighter intone especially when compared to the other episodes of this show. Simply because this is episode is a Christmas special essentially and so nobody would even want to see a darkly serious episode of Batman: The Animated whilst there celebrating Christmas and so to have this episode be a little bit more lighter in tone was a really smart move on behalf of the makers of both this episode and of this very show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then I thought that Batman being stuck on what to do next was a really good idea because very rarely do we get to actually see the so called world's greatest detective stuck to come up with either plan or an idea. It's just a shame that that idea felt so rushed which is of no fault of the makers of this show because they obviously have a very tight running time and so they have to hit the plot points very freaking quickly but an idea that's as good as this one is should have had a little more time given to it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty seconds. Which is in all honesty a bit of a tad bit short of running time simply because it means that this episode can't really fully develop it's storyline or it's ideas that well because it has to rush to get to the next plot point and so then if anything this episode in particular should have been at the very least two episodes long just so both it's storyline and it's ideas could have been developed alot more naturally then what they are in this episode  in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since this is an action show after all that means that there are some actual action scenes in this very episode and that means that I have ti actually talk about all of the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very and 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. Yes granted it wasn't the best action scenes that this series is known for but it was alot better then then what they all had any freaking right to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really enjoyable Christmas episode of a show that is well and truly freaking iconic and even tho this episode does have a few issues with it those exact same issues didn't effect my overall enjoyment of the episode tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now 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 episode and as such that erns that this very freaking episode erns itself a grand freaking 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 DC Animated Universe fandom wiki page and also from the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from the actual film that I personally used in this very review being the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom page simply because all of the images that are from this actual / very film and that I personally found that are currently up and on Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie Film Review

 


Muppets fans when people talk about the movies that the The Muppets have starred in they always talk about the theatrically released movies. However very little to no people actually talk the direct to TV Muppet movies well now i'm going to put an end to that by talking about a Christmas movie that the The Muppets starred in an so join e as I talk about the Christmas Muppets movie that nobody actually talks about with the film in question being called simply just "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" enjoy.

The plot of the movie is The Muppets have until 6pm to save The Muppet Theatre from being foreclosed upon y an evil banker. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual film was at best OK since the plot of this film really does nothing all that new or even all that actually exciting or even interesting with it's set up or plot line in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Steve Whitmire as Kermit The Frog , Rizzo The Rat and Beaker and Dave Goelz as The Great Gonzo , Dr. Bunsen Honeydew , Waldorf and Zoot , Bill Barretta as Pepé The King Prawn , Bobo The Bear , Johnny Fiama , Swedish Chef , Lew Zealand , Howard Tubman and Rowlf The Dog , Eric Jacobson as Miss Piggy , Fozzie Bear , Animal and Yoda , Brian Henson as Scooter , Janice and Sal Minella , Kevin Clash as Sam Eagle , John Henson as Sweetums , John Kennedy as Dr. Teeth , Jerry Nelson as Robin The Frog , Statler , Floyd Pepper and The Announcer , Allan Trautman as Eugene The Tuba Player , David Arquette as Daniel , Joan Cusack as Rachel Bitterman , Matthew Lillard as Luc Fromage , Whoopi Goldberg as The Boss , William H. Macy as Glenn and Mel Brooks as The Voice Of Joe Snow.

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 really freaking good. Which given whom is appearing / starring in this very film isn't to be that much of a surprise at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Now then for some strange reason about half way though it's running time this film becomes basically the The Muppets version of the Christmas classic film It's A Wonderful Life. Which I wouldn't mind at all except that out comes out of nowhere and it requires Kermit The Frog to act out of character in order to make it work which should never be the case for a plot line such as this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film rather shockingly actually features a reference to the very first Muppet Movie because in this film in an alternate world in which Kermit The Frog had never even been born we see Doc Hopper's French-Fried Frog Legs which first seen in the very first Muppet Movie. This is in all honesty such a pretty freaking deep cut reference and it's one that i'm surprised that not alot of people have really freaking picked up since the The Muppet Movie is such a freaking good movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I will admit that out of all the Christmas movies and specials that the The Muppets have done. This one is perhaps the worst one since not only does it have characters acting out of character but it also doesn't really give us a good and heartwarming Christmas message either since this film is basically ripping of It's A Wonderful Life and so we there for no how exactly everything in this film is going to play out and that means that there's very little to no actual surprises when it comes to this films actual plot and story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.    


So now then this film actually quite a few movie parodies since the film spoofs the 2002 film How The Grinch Stole Christmas , Kill Bill and oddly enough Moulin Rouge and while some of these film parodies are funny there are sadly alot of them that just aren't that funny at all. Which is a shame because when this film does get a parody right it can be pretty freaking funny but the unfunny movie parodies very much outweigh the actually freaking funny movie parodies in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty eight minuets and fourteen seconds. Which is oddly enough a tad freaking bit on the long side for this film and part of that might be because they actually wrap up the plot that described to you at the very start of this very review by the forty five minuet mark which is then very quickly followed up by a rather freaking bad It's A Wonderful Life ripoff / spoof / parody and so there really was no freaking need for this movie to be as freaking long freaking as it freaking was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film is a comedy film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and 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 film was a very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. Since the joke / parody of How The Grinch Stole Christmas was indeed a really freaking funny parody there are alos quite alot of jokes that are in this very film and that quite frankly aren't as funny as other jokes that are also in this very freaking film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this film quite clearly isn't the worst Muppet movie out there it's also not the The Muppets best work either but I can say with quite some certainty that this film is the worst Muppets Christmas special or Christmas movie that the The Muppets have ever made tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now 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 freaking film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 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 also lastly from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up and featured and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
