Ultimate Avengers: The Movie Film Review

 


Marvel fans with the Marvel Cinematic Universe taking a very saver dip interms of quality I thought that i'd take a look back at one of the earliest times that earths mightiest heroes gathered together for a film. I will very much that this film is the film that got me into the The Avengers team and the first animated Marvel movie that I ever bought and so then join me as I review the film that brought earths mightiest heroes together for the first time in animated film form with the film in question being called simply just "Ultimate Avengers: The Movie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a bunch of aliens attack a SHIELD satellite Nick Fury is tasked with putting together a team that can withstand the enemy threat but the team might also have a traitor in there midst. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us om this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best since this films plot is fairly engaging but at the same time it's also a pretty boring plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Justin Gross as Steve Rogers / Captain America and Marc Worden as Tony Stark / Iron Man. Also starring in this film is Andre Ware as Nick Fury , James Arnold Taylor as Bucky Barnes , Grey DeLisle as Janet Van Dyne-Pym / Wasp , Nolan North as Hank Pym / Giant-Man , Dave Boat as Thor , Olivia D'Abo as Natalia Romanov / Black Widow , Fred Tatasciore as Hulk and Edwin Jarvis , Michael Massee as Bruce Banner , Nan McNamara as Betty Ross and James K. Ward as Herr Kleiser.

Now then inters of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Altho given the amount of great voice acting talent in this film I did expect the acting to be alot better but sadly due to this films poor script not giving the cast anything to work with interms of their characters personalities we can;t get great or even good performances because of the fact that this films script just won't allow for it.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Woo Animation Co.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho I did hate all of the shading that all of the characters got which was very distracting and just wasn't needed at all. 


This film is very loosely based of off the first six issues of the 2002 comic book The Ultimates and while this film does in deed make some changes thew core story is still there. Altho I would have liked it if some of the character arcs were the same since there was no need for Tony Stark to keep his identity as Iron Man a secret where as in the book everybody knew who that he was Iron Man and he had to deal with that and that is something that could have made for an interesting character arc in this film.

Speaking of making changes this film changes up the characters of Hank Pym since in the film he has some anger issues and is a bit an egomaniac. Where is in the comic book he;s all of that plus he;s drunk and he abuses his wife and those are things that are he has to overcome over the course of the book where as in this film he doesn't overcome anything and as such the character seems like a watered down version of the comic book version which like I said had a much more interesting character arc and that would have made this version of the character seem alot more interesting.  


While I do like that we get to see the team initially not like each other that doesn't excuse the fact that the film itself is just plain boring. Wit nothing really happening for a large portion of the films running time which is a shame because when we do get something actually exciting or actually interesting in this film we get scenes like Captain America seeing himself on a TV screen thus further highlighting the fact that he is a man out of time or the scene where Black Widow says that she'll gladly follow Captain America on any mission but those good scenes don't make up for the fact that the rest of the film is just straight up boring.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and twenty one seconds. Which to this films credit this film does use the most of it's running time however with that being said tho this film should have been alot longer since this film just feels like it was a huge set up for Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise Of The Panther and as such this film just feels like your catching a feature length trailer for another film but I will say that this film does have some really good pacing to it.



So now then since this is an action film that means that I have t actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films action making good use of showing us what the team can do when they work together however sadly there's not really enough action sequences in this film which is a shame because when we do get an action sequence it is genuinely quite cool to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this film might be the first time that we saw earths mightiest heroes appear together in an animated film it's still not that good of a film since it is a pretty dull and rather boring film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all f the good and as well as all of the and things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 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 Marvel Database fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Day Of The Daleks Review

 


Doctor Who fans the announcement of a new collection box set is always very exciting however what excited me the most about this upcoming release was the fact that there was a dalek story that i'd never even heard of. So the very first chance that I got I went and tracked down all four episodes of this serial and well then I have some thoughts on this serial and so then join me as I review the serial that reintroduced the world to  the Daleks with the serial in question being called simply just "Day Of The Daleks" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , UNIT and Jo investigate the attempted assassination of a British diplomat only to find an arch enemy of The Doctors is planning something very deadly. Now then interms of what I personally thought / flt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty rather OK at best since this episodes story is rather thin at best and just down right isn't there at it's worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Worzel Gummidge star Jon Pertwee as The Doctor , Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Also starring in this episode is Richard Franklin as Captain Mike Yates , John Levene as Sergeant Benton , Wilfred Carter as Sir Reginald Styles , Jean McFarlane as Miss Paget , Anna Barry as Anat , Scott Fredericks as Boaz , Jimmy Winston as Shura , Tim Condren as Guerilla , Aubrey Woods as Controller , Valentine Palmer as Monia , Oliver Gilbert as The Voice Of The Daleks and Peter Messaline as The Voice Of The Daleks.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances however with that being said the voices that they have for the Daleks are just straight up bad and it's no wonder that they removed the people who voiced the daleks after this one episode because of the fact that the Dalek voices were that bad.



This episode marked the return of the Daleks since 1967's The Evil Of The Daleks and well this episode doesn't do them any kind of justice. Since they give them a terrible introduction and they give them little to no motivation in this episode both of which are things that a Dalek story should do since it makes these characters seem like bigger threat then they already are and it doesn't help that they give them a stupid looking eye on their eye stalk which just looks very cartoonish and not at all threatening at all.


This episode also marked the introduction of a new TARDIS interior which i'm in two minds about since having a ore stripped back interior does suit this version of the The Doctor perfectly. However on the flip side of that this interior just doesn't look that visually interesting since it just looks very bland and it;s not really helped by the fact that there very little to no lights in the console room and so you can't really get a good look at it which does make it slightly hard to fully judge this new TARDIS interior.

One of the things that this episode introduces is the idea of The Doctor and Jo suffering from crossed time streams. Which given that appears very early in the first episode you'd think that it's going to play a part in the episode and while it doesn't play apart in the episode in one sense it does in the fact that a group of rebels have to cross their own time streams to stop a potential war from happening but at the same time the whole concept of suffering from crossed time streams doesn't really play a major part in the episode which makes me wonder why they introduced that concept very early on in the episode if there not going to pay it off by the end of episode since it just makes a very pointless thing to include in this episode. 


One of the things that both Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning hated about this episode is the fact that they couldn't get behind the idea of three Daleks launching a full scale attack on this one house. I say that one Dalek is more then enough to launch a full scale attack on this one massive house since we know that Daleks are pretty much unkillable and one Dalek has more fire power then an entire squadron but at the same time having just three Daleks launching this entire attack does seem a little bit on the small side since it doesn't make the Daleks seem like that much of a threat.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. With this episode being four episodes long with each episode lasting no longer then twenty five minuets with episode one being twenty three minuets and thirty nine seconds , episode two being twenty three minuets and fifty five seconds , episode three being twenty four minuets and twenty seconds and episode for being twenty four minuets and twenty two seconds all of which where perfect running times for each episode to last and it really does help that this story has some really great pacing to it as well.


So now then since there is some action in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not bad. Altho I will admit that the choreography of The Doctor's action scenes was a little of but it's always going to be cool seeing some Daleks launch an all attack in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was a pretty bad Dalek story but if this episode featured an original villain then it might have been a much more stronger episode but as it is this episode just doesn't work at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns 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 Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Raw Is XXX Review

 


Wrestling fans it's been a good few months since I last reviewed a wrestling show and well then with Raw turning thirty I thought that now was the right time to review another wrestling show. Since this show has been apart of every wrestling fans life for exactly thirty years regardless of if we watched the WWE or not and so then join me as I review the show that celebrates turning thirty with the show in question being called simply just "Raw Is XXX" enjoy.

The biggest storyline going into this show was of course The Tribal Court storyline and that's really all we get interms if major storylines. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual storylines going into this show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual storylines that are going into this show was in all honesty really good with the Tribal Court segment being very well told and indeed adding in alot more intrigue going into the Royal Rumble in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show isn't what i;d thought that it would be since it's just the regular set that's used for Raw these days and nothing more then that. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if this was just a regular episode of Raw but it's not and so the the set for this show show should really represent all of the other previous Raw sets or if they really wanted to do a call back then they bring back the very first Raw set since just having the regular set just makes it look like just another episode of the show and not an anniversary special.

I'm not really a big fan of the one big tron being a set for the show type of thing since it just screams laziness to me. I didn't like it when they did it at Wrestlemania and I don't like it now it's something that really does need to go since WWE sets have always been creative and having one big tron be the entire set for the show just robs any and all creativity that could be going into creating a great looking set i'm sure that there is a way ti use one tron as the entire set but so far i'm yet to see a show that had this idea nailed down and perfected.


Going into the show there was one match that alot of us wrestling fans where excited to seeing and that;s the women's steel cage match. This match had pretty much all of it's time cut because of the fact that the The Tribal Court segment went longer then expected so instead of cutting time from the Bianca Belair vs Sonya Deville or the Seth Rollins & The Street Profits vs Imperium since both of those matches didn't need to be as long as they were and then when you add in the fact that both matches had incredibly longer segments before the it;s very easy to see where you could have find time to cut from both matches and segments and add them to the steel cage match.


To this shows credit it does use the legends on this show alot better then Legends Night did from just a few short years ago. Since the legends on this show are used to not enhance the current roster but are also used to enhance the current storylines as well where as back on Legends Night they mainly used the legends to make fun of the current roster and to not enhance the then current storylines and that's not a great way to use legends since it hurts the product in the long term where as how they used the legends on this show will only serve to help the product in the long term.

I will admit that the legends in this show were really fun with them getting alot of really segments and interactions. However tho the issue is tho that these segments last long and are there just for pure fanservice and nothing more then that which is to be expected on a legends show but at the same time tho it means that you get a lot of segments that last a lot longer then what is really needed I mean heck the DX segment didn't need to run as long as it does and yet with the match it runs for close to ten minuets and it really doesn't need to be that long at all. 


This show should have been more of a celebration of Raw and what it means to the wrestlers and those involved with the WWE. However we don;t get any of that which is a shame because this show was built up as an anniversary special and yet there's nothing on the show gives you a hint of that apart from the wrestlers constantly reminding you of the fact that Raw is turning thirty and that does get annoying after a while but when the show gets the celebration right it really does get it right with the shows opening intro being a prime example of that.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and thirty two minuets and twenty four seconds. Which if i'm right is pretty much the bog standard running time for Raw these days but at the same time even with this large amount of running time the show could have dine with being at the very least five or ten minuets longer just because of the fact it would have then have allowed for the steel cage match to happen and it wold have allowed for the main event to go a bit longer as well.


So now then since is a wrestling show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With alot of the shows matches having some really good wrestling in it with the best match of the whole show being The Bloodline vs The Judgement Day in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a great show for legends and while it was a huge step up from the dreadful Legends Night episode of Raw it;s not a great anniversary episode and it doesn't represent how great this show can be when it's at it's best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns 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 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 Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Dalek Invasion Of Earth Review

 


Doctor Who fans there so few episodes out there that are truly deserving of the title of classic and well the episode that i'm about to review for you all is just that. Since this episode is a classic in every single sense of the word from it's iconic villains to it's iconic imagery and even the fact that this episodes features the very first ever departure of a companion and so then join me as I review the episode that saw a classic companion leave the TARDIS with the episode is question being called simply just "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Ian , Barbera and Susan find themselves in London and have to stop an evil force from taking over the earth. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being truly breathtakingly beautiful and entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , William Russell as Ian Chesterton and Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright. Also starring in this episode is Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman , Bernard Kay as Carl Tyler , Peter Fraser as David Campbell , Alan Judd as Dortmun , Ann Davies as Jenny , Michael Goldie as Craddock , Michael Davis as Thomson , Richard McNeff as Baker , Graham Rigby as Larry Madison , Nicholas Smith as Wells , Patrick O'Connell as Ashton , Peter Hawkins as The Voice Of The Daleks and David Graham as The Voice Of The Daleks.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes cast members both series regular and guest cast members turning in some truly wonderful performances with all of this episodes cast members making the most of this episodes wonderful script.



This episode features what is quite possibly the most iconic cliffhanger in all of Doctor Who history with a Dalek emerging from a London river. That one shot is so effective because it tells you without any line of dialog who the main threat is and just how much of a threat that they are and all of this is done by just showing us the characters reactions to seeing this episodes villains and that's it and that is great storytelling because it's a very strong case for show don't tell and that is something that works really well in this episode.


As I mentioned this episode features the very first departure of a companion with Susan leaving the TARDIS. What I really loved about this one scene is just how emotional it was not only for Susan but for The Doctor as well with both of them struggling to speak during the scene and with The Doctor leaving while Susan isn't looking because of the fact that he can't bring himself to say goodbye to her face to face because it would break his heart and I have to admit that I got a little but emotional during it because it's not just one character leaving another character it's a grandfather saying goodbye to his granddaughter possibly for the last time and that's what made the scene really emotional plus it was a really well written and well acted scene as well.

Speaking of the writing that whole final scene actually wasn't written by the episodes writer Terry Nation it was instead written by the writer of the next episode and the shows script editor David Whitaker. Which might explain why that one scene feels so differently from the rest of the episode since the rest of the show is written more like a thriller all throughout the episode and yet that one scene is written more like a drama which while it doesn't create a case of tonal whiplash it is something that does stick out a mile.


To me this episode feels very different from the rest of the show since this one episode looks and feels alot more like a movie then it does an episode of a TV show. Not only that but this episode also shows us that not everyone during the events of this episode is out to help our heroes which means our heroes could be betrayed by every single person that they meet which means that they are constant danger as it mean that anybody could hand them over to this episodes villains all for just the tiniest scrap of food and that makes the episode all the more tense and exciting as well.

Now then this episode has / had an episode count of six episodes with a grad total running time of roughly two and a half hours. Which is pretty much the perfect running time for this episode to have since this episode has more then enough story to cover that amount of running time altho I would have preferred it if this episode was five episodes long since most of episode is basically a filler episode since it has no effect on the actual plot of the episode as a whole but that is a very minor issue in an otherwise great story.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have ti actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was really good. Especially for the kind f budget that this show had back in the sixties but even so the episodes action was really good and was for the time also really impressive as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was such a phenomenal episode and it;s one that i;d say is a quite essential watch for any Doctor Who fan since it's great example of what this show can be like when it's at it's best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 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 , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

House Of The Dragon "The Heirs Of The Dragon" Review

 



Game Of Thrones fans today just so happens to be a very special day for me personally as it's my birthday and one of my presents was season one of House Of The Dragon. Well you just all know that I had to take a look at this shows debut episode just to see if this episode is still as good as it was when it first aired last year and so then join me as I review the episode that brought us back to the world of Westeros and the world of Game Of Thrones with the episode is question being called simply just "The Heirs of the Dragon" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he names his only daughter his heir King Viserys I Targaryen faces backlash from all fronts which threaten to cause a civil war. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot doing a very good of setting up the characters and telling a genuinely intriguing plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Paddy Considine as King Viserys I Targaryen and Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen. Also starring in this episode is  Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower , Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon , Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen , Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria , Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole , Milly Alcock as Young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen , Emily Carey as Alicent Hightower , Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling and Sian Brooke as Queen Aemma Arryn.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which isn't new for Game Of Thrones since even during it's bad seasons Game Of Thrones always had great acting in it and it's great to see that this show continued that trend by having great acting in this very episode.



Doing the CGI for not only this episode but also I think for this entire show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Visualskies. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes CGI being so good that it could have been in a feature length film because it's that good.


To me Prince Daemon Targaryen is someone who is trying to be a rockstar but has no idea how to make it as an actual rockstar. Since everything about this character just screams rockstar to me from the way that he walks down to the way that he talks and given that Matt Smith chose to play this character in a way that suited him that wouldn't actually surprise me if that was true since this character is basically a rockstar in every single way and heck as the show would go on he'd even have multiple women just like an actual rockstar.

Sadly its not all good since this episode does have it's fair share of flaws as well the first of which being that the show doesn't reopen the world of Westeros up. With the vast majority of the episode being set within Kings' Landing which oddly enough makes the show feel alot smaller then what it actually is and as such we don;t don;t get to see how other famous Game Of Thrones locations where at this point in time which is shame because there could be a wealth of stories just waiting to be told during this time period and by restricting yourself to just one location your making feel alot more smaller then what it actually is. 


The other thing that this episode doesn't get right is the death of Queen Aemma Arryn which is something that i've never liked happening this early on in the show. Since it's something that would have been alot more dram tic if it was done in say episode six for example since then we would have had a lot more time to really get to know this character and to see how she fits within her family and to see how she interacts with other characters and yet by killing her of in the first episode it just comes across as having a death in the episode for the sake of having a death in this episode.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and two minuets. Which is the perfect amount of time for this episode to last since even tho it doesn't have tom set up the world it still has several dozen new characters that it has to set up and it just can't do that and sill a good and even well thought out story and  it really does help that this episode had some great pacing to it as well and as such this episode really did fly by and not feel as long as it was.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty. Not that bad since we don't get an awful lot of action in this episode but what little action that we do get does look good and is really visually cool to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is still a great debut for what would be a great first season and while this episode does indeed have it;s fair share flaws those are very minor flaws at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 out pf 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 Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Daphne & Velma Film Review


Scooby-Doo fans I think that it's fair to say that we've been having it a bit rough lately with the release of Velma being so bad that it's actually gotten a lower score then Dragonball Evolution on IMDB. However there is one good thing to come out of that show and that's the fact that it's made the film tat i'm about to review for you all today look good by comparison and so then join me as I review the film that is to my knowledge at least the first Scooby-Doo product not to feature Scooby-Doo actually in it with the film in question being called simply just "Daphne & Velma" enjoy.

The plot of the film is new girl Daphne befriends loner Velma and the two have to solve a mystery of why a bunch of their schools smartest kids or disappearing all before it;s far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty decent at best but at the same time this films plot also felt pretty generic and bland as well as being rather uninspired in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Sarah Jeffery as Daphne Blake , Sarah Gilman as Velma Dinkley and Vanessa Marano as Carol. Also starring in this film is Brian Stepanek as Nedley Blake , Nadine Ellis as Elizabeth Blake , Arden Myrin as Principal Piper , Brooks Forester as Tobias Bloom , Lucius Baston as Mr. Nussbaum , Courtney Dietz as Mikayla , Stephen Ruffin as Nathan , Fray Forde as Ryder , Evan Castelloe as Griffin Griffiths , Daniel Salyers as Mike , Adam Faison as Spencer , Jessica Goei as Olivia , Mickie Pollock as Two-Mop Maggie and Tucker Halbrooks as A Skater Guy.

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 thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast quite clearly trying there best to make this films script work but the issue is that this films script gives the cast absolutely nothing to work with and as such they can't really deliver great performances. 



Doing the CGI for this film is a small studio called Entropy Studio who have worked on the show Cable Girls. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad even for a direct to DVD film since this films CGI just looks creepy at best and terrible at it's downright worst.


This film dares to do the impossible and thats make a Scooby-Doo without actually having Scooby-Doo himself appear in the film. Which is weird because it more then meets Warner Bros. Pictures mandate for including the character in that it's a family friendly film that won't hurt the Scooby-Doo brand name and so then there's really no reason as to why Scooby-Doo himself couldn't even be in this film altho given just how bad this films CGI even is maybe its for the best that he didn't appear in this film since he'd just come of looking terrible.

This film does something that the Velma TV series doesn't do and that's keep the characters as we originally know them to be. Since the Velma and Daphne in this film are both alot closer to their original cartoon counterparts then they are any other versions of the characters and that is something that just isn't the case for the new Velma TV show where both characters are so radically different from their original cartoon counterparts that they might as well as be two completely and newly created characters because they act nothing like the Daphne and Velma that we know and like for the original cartoon shows and that is something that just isn't the case for this film. 


This films mystery really isn't that much of a mystery since the film gives you no clues as to who to this films main villain actually is. Which for a mystery film is something that you really need to do even more so for a Scooby-Doo film since the Scooby-Doo brand was built upon teaching kids the art of deduction but even so you still need to give us clues so that we at least have something to go of off and when you don;t do that it just makes it look like that your just making it up as you go along which makes everything else just seem lazy and rather unimportant.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running tome of exactly one hour and fifteen minuets and twelve seconds. Which even for a direct to DVD Scooby-Doo movie is a bit on the short side since this film has so much to set up as well tell a great or in this case even passable mystery and tell a good story and it just can't do that and as a result some things do fall through the cracks like the mystery not being that good and as such I really do think that film should have at the very least have been one hour and thirty minuets long.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have t actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not bad. Since while this film does have an awful lot of bad jokes in it this film does also have quite few decent funny moments within it as well which does help to make make this film at the very a least somewhat a really entertaining piece of Scooby-Doo media in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall with Velma now showing the Scooby-Doo what a truly bad piece of Scooby-Doo media looks like I think that alot of the die hard Scooby-Doo fanbase will be more then willing to take another look at this film but with that being said this is still a pretty bad Scooby-Doo film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 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 Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of That 90's Show

 


It seems that all Hollywood knows how to make these days is remakes , reboots and sequels and well another new sequel has just been released. However this one is actually the second sequel to a hugely popular TV show since the show itself did technically spawn a sequel called That 80's Show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that really does take us all back the nineteen nineties with the show in question being called simply just "That 90's Show" enjoy.

The plot of the show is new girl Leia Forman moves in with her grandparents for the summer while she struggles to make friends. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the shows plot being genuinely quite entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these first three episodes is this shows executive producer Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman and this shows other executive producer Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman. Also starring in this show is Callie Haverda as Leia Forman , Ashley Aufderheide as Gwen Runck , Mace Coronel as Jay Kelso , Reyn Doi as Ozzie , Sam Morelos as Nikki , Maxwell Acee Donovan as Nate Runck , Gabby Sanalitro as Mama , Luke Millington-Drake as Wade , Topher Grace as Eric Forman , Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart , Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso , Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti , Rhett George as George , Andrea Anders as Sherri Runck , Wilmer Valderrama as Fez and Tommy Chong as Leo Chingkwake.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With both the old cast and the newer cast turning in some really good performances and the older cast members really recapturing the spirit of their old characters in their respective performances. 



This show is of course the sequel to the 1998 show That 70's show and as somebody who did watch alot of That 70's Show growing up I really do feel that they managed to recapture the spirit of that show in this show. Unlike the new Night Court sequel series where you have to have been a fan of the original show in order to understand the new show here I don;t think that that's the case since the show is ultimately about teenagers growing up and that is something that is a very universal thing to go through be it as a teenager or as a parent watching them grow up and that is something that is a very universal theme to be dealing with.


As great as it is to see all of these new characters I have to admit that as a fan of That 70's Show it was great seeing all of the original characters again. Since yeah all of the main hang of friends apart from one obvious person appear within the first three episodes of this show and all three of them totally own each and every single scene that there in and they all reminded me of why these characters were so great in the first place and while the new cast will have there fans they just won't be able to top the original cast.

Heck they even bring back the theme song accept instead of getting somebody good like Cheap Trick to do that they instead got Brett Anderson to do it. Which isn't a bad choice but a theme song that's this iconic really did somebody who has the vocals to make this song seem even more iconic then what it already is but I will admit that this version of the song is a pretty good version of the song it's just not as good as the Cheap Trick version was and the song is still a damned catchy song to listen to as well as being a genuinely good song.


This shows new cast of characters so far just don't seem to be all that fun apart from Leia who seems like she's the stereotypical girl next door type of character. Where as alot of the other characters just seem like lazy rip offs of the characters from the original show heck one of them is even related to characters from the original show but even so he still seems like a bad rip off of his father with nothing coming from his mother where as with Leia you can see traits of both her mother and her father and that makes her seem all the more interesting to me.

Now then the first three episodes of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty minuets and four seconds for episode one , twenty four minuets and eight seconds for episode two and twenty four minuets and fourteen seconds for episode three. For some reason they made episode one the longest episode of these first three episodes which is a weird choice because it doesn't have a whole lot of story there and the only thing that bumps it up to that running time is the fact that they have a "this season on" trailer which just wasn't needed but I will admit that all three of the episodes have some really great pacing to them.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all three episodes managing to get at least one big laugh out of me since alot of the jokes in these first three episodes come from the characters and are vert character driven jokes that are really funny and help to make these characters feel all the more likable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show is so far better then the Night Court sequel since this show is actually funny but at the same time I can't really see fans of That 70's Show liking this show since alot of that shows characters aren't in this show all that much and I can see that putting them of in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well all of the bad things that are in these first three episodes in this very post and since this only my first impressions of the show i'm not going to give this show a rating but I will review this show if i'm either bored or I just feel like doing which considering that this shows first season is ten episodes long is something that I can't really see being the actual case.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally used in this very post from the official That 90's Show fandom wiki page , the official Netflix fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the official That 90's Show fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official That 90's Show fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
