Gargoyles The Movie: The Heroes Awaken Film Review

 

You'd be forgiven if you only thought that Disney released direct to VHS animated sequels as that is what is most commonly known. However what if I were to tell you that they also released reedited versions of certain episodes from certain TV shows and released them as movie straight to VHS well that was also the case with the film that i'm about to review for you all today and so then join me as I review the film that is just five episodes edited together with the film in question being called simply just "Gargoyles The Movie: The Heroes Awaken" enjoy.

The plot is a thousand years after they are cursed to remain as stone a group of Gargoyles are tasked with finding some computer disks. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho the plot is also rather thin at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is Keith David as Goliath , Thom Adcox Hernandez as Lexington and Edward Asner as Hudson. Also starring in this film is Jeff Bennett as Brooklyn , Magus and Owen , Clancy Brown as Hakon , J. D. Daniels as Tom , Bill Fagerbakke as Broadway , Jonathan Frakes as David Xanatos , Patrick Fraley as Brendan , Ed Gilbert as The Captain , Peter Renaday as The Commander , Salli Richardson as Elisa Maza , Marina Sirtis as Demona , Kath Soucie as Princess Katharine and Frank Welker as Bronx.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which really isn't all that surprising as this film is made up of a bunch of really good actors and actresses and it really helps that every single person cast in this film is cast perfectly for the characters that they are portraying.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Tama Production. 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 really good granted this films animation was never going to e direct to VHS worthy but for what this film is the animation wasn't that bad and was alot better then what it really did have any right to be.

As mentioned at the start of this review this film is literally just the shows first five episodes re-edited to form a movie. With this film not really feeling episodic which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case at all as usually when you view a film that was quite clearly just episodes of a show edited together to form a movie then it's usually very episodic in nature but where as with this film you wouldn't really know that this film was just five episodes of an already existing TV show which was something that really did catch me of guard.

I'm going to be real with you it was hard as heck to find a copy of this film in any kind of quality with the only version of the film online is one that involves the entire VHS for the film. Not just the film itself as you also get the trailers for other products that were coming out at the time and a Gargoyles The Movie VHS game which I guess makes this film a rarity but it is out their if you use Internet Archive just be warned that you won't just be getting the film as you'll also be getting all of the stuff that came on the films VHS tape as well.

While this film does have alot of positives to it it does also have it's fair share of negatives as well like for example the characters not being that very well defined. Which I guess makes sense is this film is just the shows first five episodes but its still something that should have been done in this film to get more people to watch the show and the film itself is pretty dull and boring which is something that I can see putting alot of people watching this film which is a shame because when this film wants to be exciting it can be a really fun film to watch.

Now then including all of the extra stuff that came on the original VHS tape this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty eight minuets and eighteen seconds. With the film itself lasting around one hour and twenty minuets which is a pretty solid running time for this film to have but at the same time with the films story being rather weak you do spend alot of the running time just waiting for things for happen but tho I will very much admit that this film does have some fairly solid pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which really did catch me of guard just because I very rarely if ever watched Gargoyles growing up and so I was really surprised at just how good the action in this film really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall as I had really no idea what to expect from this film I was left presently surprised at just how good of a film that this film well and truly is and it's one that if you can find a copy of it I highly recommend watching as it is that good of a 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 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 mages that I personally used in this very review from Gargoyles Wiki , the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get all of the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful and the truly fantastic Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the wonderful Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as also being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The End Of Time Parts One And Two Review

 

I think that it's fair to say that the most popular modern Doctor Who Doctor was The Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant. As such it was quite a shock when it was announced that he was leaving the role and well it's been well over ten years since I last watched the episode and so I thought that i'd check out his final two parter and so then join me as I review the episode that saw one of the most popular Doctor Who actors leave the show for good with the episode in question being called simply just "The End Of Time" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is something is returning and that very return would mean the end of time itself and so it's up to The Doctor to put a stop before it causes the death of The Doctor himself. 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 and was alot better then what I remember it being with this episodes plot being very entertaining , engaging and sad all at the same time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is David Tennant as The Doctor , the late Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott and John Simm as The Master. Also starring in this episode is Timothy Dalton as The Narrator / Lord President Rassilon , Catherine Tate as Donna Noble , Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble , Claire Bloom as The Woman , June Whitfield as Minnie Hooper , David Harewood as Joshua Naismith , Tracy Ifeachor as Abigail Naismith , Sinéad Keenan as Addams , Lawry Lewin as Rossiter , Alexandra Moen as Lucy Saxon and Karl Collins as Shaun Temple.

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. Which given who is starring in this episode and the fact that the great Russel T. Davis wrote this episode shouldn't be that much of a surprise as this script is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the words as their written and boom a good performance would come out naturally.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at The Mill and Any Effects. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good for the most part as there are some green screen effects that haven't really aged all that well and they do stand out because of that fact.

                                                                                    

I might be wrong here as I can't find anything to either confirm or deny this but I think that this is the first time that the Time Lord race itself has been featured in New Doctor Who. Which if so then I don't really think that they were handled all that well as they do come across as being an after thought which is a shame because seeing just how far this race if beings have fallen would have made for a really great story if they were given alot screen time and having them be the main threat instead of a secondary threat would have worked all the more better as it would have made this attack on Earth all the more personal for both The Doctor and The Master as now they'd both be going up against their own people and not just a bunch of strangers trying to take over the Earth.

Speaking of The Master I hate that they basically gave him superpowers in this episode as it's really something that doesn't belong in Doctor Who. While they do explain it in away that it does make sense it's just something that doesn't work nor belong in the world of Doctor Who but I will admit that having The Master's life force be tied to his powers was a great idea as it does mean that this version of the character will eventually die the episode does nothing with that idea to make it worth while giving The Master superpowers in the first place.

There was no way in heck that I could talk about this episode and not talk about the regeneration scene which I just loved. As it wasn't jut us the audience saying goodbye to this version of The Doctor it was David Tennant saying goodbye to the show that he was a fan of since he was kid with his Doctor's last words " I don't want to go" somewhat backing that up and then when you add in the fact that Murray Gold's fantastic music just adds to the scene and makes it all the more memorable I won't say that this is the best regeneration scene out their just because that comes down to taste and what it is that you personally are looking for in a regeneration but anybody would be stupid to not admit liking this scene.

Now then these episodes have a combined grand total running time of roughly two hours and twenty minuets. Which was a great running time for these two episodes to have as it's just one actor leaving the show it's also the creative team leaving as well and it's whole era of the show ending and so you'd need alot of time to say goodbye to all of that and still tell a really good story in a way that is worthy of the fans that brought here in the first place and it helps that both of these episodes have some really good pacing to both of them.

So now then since this is an action show that means 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 being really good. With this episode having some really good action within it especially in Part 2 with what can only be described as the most fun and action packed ten to twenty minuets in modern Doctor Who action scenes which was just so fun and so exciting to see in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this was a great episode to say goodbye to David Tennant as it was a really well done pair of episodes that did his version of The Doctor justice and as such this pair of episodes are a must watch for any Doctor Who as they are that good of a pair of episodes  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 an 8 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 an girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Amazon . Co . Uk 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.

Aladdin: The Return of Jafar Film Review

 

The Disney direct to DVD or VHS sequels are a weird bunch as alot of them are just re-edits of episodes of a TV show. However you do sometimes get films that not only tell original stories but also serve as prequels or even pilots to an animated show with the film that i'm about to review for you all today being one such film and so then join me as I review the film that is the very first ever direct to VHS Disney animated film with the film in question being called simply just "Aladdin: The Return of Jafar" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Jafar's lamp is found by the criminal Abis Mal it's up to Aladdin and friends to stop the returning Jafar before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented t us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as it did good of advancing the characters from the first film and was genuinely quite engaging and entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Full House and Fuller House star Scott Weinger as Aladdin , Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine and The Simpsons legend Dan Castellaneta as Genie. Also starring in this film is the late Gilbert Gottfried as Iago , Jason Alexander as Abis Mal , Jonathan Freeman as Jafar , voice acting legend Frank Welker as Abu and Rajah , Val Bettin as the Sultan and voice acting legend Jim Cummings as Razoul.

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 all that surprising as lot of the cast for the first film did return to voice their respective characters in this film but as good of an actor as Dan Castellaneta is he's not as good as Robin Williams was as The Genie. 

Doing the animation for this film is Walt Disney Animation Australia and Walt Disney Animation Japan. Now then as for 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 wasn't all that bad as it was a lot better then the animation that we got in third Beauty And The Beast but with that being said this was still a step down in terms of animation quality but the animation in this film is alot better then what it really had any right to be.

As I mentioned at the very start of this review this film is basically the pilot for the Aladdin animated TV series. As this film does explain a few things that that show just doesn't bother to explain but what's weird tho is that even tho this movie is set before the show the actual show itself premiered some months before the events of the movie and so the show contained spoilers for the movie which makes me wonder if there was a communication error because that seems like to big of a mistake to be done without someone not telling someone else no to air the show first.

For some strange reason the makers of this film chose to make Iago the main character which just doesn't work. As the character is not only really unlikable due the events of the first film but he also has a really annoying voice which is fine for a side character bu when you make that side character the main character that's when it becomes an issue as nobody wants to send along time with a main character whose voice is really grating and as a result of this Aladdin who should be the main character feels alot more like a side character in his own movie.

As with the first film this film is also a musical with the films musical numbers being written by Dale Gonyea , Silversher & Silversher , Randy Petersen and Kevin Quinn. I will admit that while this films songs obviously aren't going to be as good as the songs in the first film we do get some pretty decent songs in this film with songs like "I'm Looking Out for Me" and "Nothing in the World (Quite Like a Friend)" being the best songs in the whole entire film with my personal favorite song being "Nothing in the World (Quite Like a Friend)" just due to how much fun that song is.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nine minuets and twenty one seconds. Which was a lot shorter then what that it would be and it's alot shorter then what it really should have been as you very easily could have gotten this film up to one hour ad thirty minuets at the most just by expanding upon the films story and by doing that you could dive alot more into what Jafar's main goals are as as it is his main goals are just revenge on Aladdin and that's it but if you had a longer running time you could delve more deeper into his goals but I will admit that this film does have some decent pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to 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 being very well done especially for the small budget that this film had and it's during this films action scenes that the animation really does get to shine through in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall for a line of direct to VHS and then later direct to DVD films that are largely hated by alot of Disney fans this one really isn't all that bad as it does do a good of continuing on the story in a way that feels natural and organic in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Stan Lee Film Review

 

Their are so few comic book legends out their ad even fewer that have made a huge impact on popular culture like the person who is the focus of the film that i'm about to review for you all today. It was only a matter of time before this person got their very documentary all about them and well to celebrate what would have been his one hundredth birthday Disney+ have released a documentary all about the most famous man in Marvel history and so then join me as I review the film that is most likely the most boring documentary released in 2023 with the film in question being called simply just "Stan Lee" enjoy.

As this film is a documentary film it doesn't really have a plot to speak of with the main focus of this film being about the life and times of Stan Lee. I have to admit that I really liked the idea of this man getting his life's story finally told in some form my only issue is that it's just one person telling the story and so the film is filtered through this person with that person also being the main focus of the film I really do feel that if they got more people to help to tell this films story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The only person really starring in this is Stan Lee himself and this is a huge issue for me and it's part of what makes this film boring. As all your doing is just listening to the same man talk over and over again and while yes the likes of Jack Kirby and Joan Lee do appear through the use of archive audio and archive footage Stan Lee is the only person appears in newly filmed footage and in newly recorded audio all of which just make the film feel boring as there's only so long that you can listen to the same person talking which in turn makes this film feel alot more like a badly done up audio book then an actual documentary film.

I will always love the fact that there isn't any repeating being done interms of what the people being interviewed are saying. However as there's only one person talking in this whole entire movie that's never going to be an issue and I do like the fact that Stan talked quite alot about his life his home and how he was when he wasn't writing as those are things that a documentary should be about as it gives you something new about whoever the main focus of the documentary is and the fact that it was included in this film does tell me that Stan was a bit of a workaholic but he also knew when to leave his work behind him and be with his family.

I was really shocked to see find out that they don't mention the history of the X-Men and much of an impact those characters still have on popular culture tot his very day. They give alot of attention to The Fantastic Four ans Spider-Man and rightfully so as they are important to how marvel became the success that it is today but so are teams like X-Men and The Avengers with the The Avengers only getting a passing mention in the film which is weird because with out all of these heroes the comic book industry wouldn't be the same that it is today.

What I really loved about this film is the fact that it showed just how bad the Comics Code Authority was. As in this film we come to find out that when a government company asked Marvel to do anti drug story it was the Comics Code Authority that was saying no even tho the story says that drugs are bad an actively tells it's readers not to do drugs in the first place and so Marvel published all three ant drug stories with out their approval which just goes to show that Stan Lee really wasn't afraid to stand up for what is right.

This film really does skip over alot of big moments at Marvel with none of the stuff from the nineties with the company almost going bankrupt not even getting mentioned. Which is a shame because those would have made for some really interesting parts of this movie and given just how involved Stan Lee still was with Marvel at the time it would have made sense for them to cover that topic as it's something that no doubt would effected both his professional life and his personal life as well and to skip over that part of Marvel history to me makes now sense whatsoever.

To me this film feels like a movie adaptation of his Wikipedia page as this film adds very little actually new information about Stan Lee. Which shouldn't be the case as the film covers some of the time that he spent in the military granted he didn't see any action as he was based in New York but still the makers of the film could have gone into more detail about that aspect of his life just like how they could have covered why they chose to discontinue the Captain America comics once World War 2 ended bottom line there's so much that could have been added to this film that would have made it better but sadly isn't included in this film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty six minuets and thirteen seconds. Which granted is alot better of a running time then Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story but given this films lack of content it also felt oddly far to long with alot of this film just dragging on and on to the point where I was seriously considering turning the film off and none of that is helped by the films fairly dreadful pacing either all of which make the film feel alot longer then what it actually is.

So now then as this film does feature some comedy in it that means that I have to 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 that bad. With this film doing a very good job of highlighting of just how funny of a man Stan Lee was especially when he was going around promoting Marvel as the man really did know how to work a room in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this isn't a bad documentary but it's just one that felt very underwhelming and because of the stuff that they didn't cover in this film all of which would have involved Stan Lee the film really does come off as feeling incomplete in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com 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 really fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Skull Island TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

 

The Monsterverse is a cinematic universe that alot of people seem to have forgotten about with their being no new entries since 2021. Well now it's back with it;s first animated TV series rather rightfully starring a really iconic and very popular monster and well as somebody who has quite literally seen every single film in the Monsterverse multiple times and so you all just knew that I had to check this show out and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that sets out to explore the mysteries of Skull Island with the show in question being called simply just "Skull Island" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when a family , their friend , a stranger and group of mercenaries wash up on Skull Island they have to find a way of off the island before one of the islands many monsters finds and kills them all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad with this shows plot being a bit of a slow burn but also being rather enjoyable and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Nicolas Cantu as Charlie , voice acting acting legend Mae Whitman as Annie , Darren Barnett as Mike and Benjamin Bratt as Cap. Also starring in this show is Betty Gilpin as Irene , voice acting acting legend Phil LaMarr as Sam and Fryda Wolff as Island Girl. There are more actors and actresses in this show however I cannot find a complete cast list for this show anywhere online and so I really can't credit every single person who is starring in this show despite this show having some pretty big voice acting talent.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. Which given this shows voice cast isn't all that surprising as this show really does have some really talented voice actors working on it and so then it only makes sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Powerhouse Animation Studios Studio Jangdokdae , Studio Mir and Studio Nine Lives. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with the shows animation having the same inspired anime look to it that Castlevania had to it's show as well and it's something that really does both work well for and look good in this show.

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

I have to admit that it's really hard for me to work out where in the Monsterverse timeline this show is meant to take place as if it's sets before Kong: Skull Island then the sea creature that attacks this shows cast should have also have attacked the cast of Kong: Skull Island. The only thing that I know for sure is that this film does take place before the events of Godzilla Vs Kong which gives us a whole long time for this show to take place as there really is a large that this show could possibly take place in and that might also mean that we shouldn't expect this show to reference things from the movies or to set up things for future movies.

What I really didn't like about hi show or at the very least these first batch of episodes is the fact that they really hold off on showing Kong. It takes two and half episodes just to get a tiny glimpse of the king of Skull Island and even then he doesn't do anything that's all that meaningful he just shows up scares an alligator away and that's it and then he doesn't really show up again until episode four this is a King Kong themed show that shockingly has very little King Kong in it with the show instead focusing on it's human cast of characters.

This wouldn't be an issue if alot of us are coming to see the human characters but we're not as lot people myself included are coming to this show to watch King Kong. However I will admit that while King Kong does feel alot more like a side character in his show a few of the human characters are very enjoyable like Annie for example always managed to get a chuckle out of me as she's someone who chose to stay on Skull Island when she was very young and so has grown up on the island which does lead to some pretty fun and funny conversations with best friends Charlie and Mike who are trying to get of off Skull Island.

Now then each of this episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running of no longer then thirty minuets. With this first batch of episodes being eight episodes long and I will admit that this show really is suited to the twenty five minuet running time as this show has more then enough story to cover that amount of running time and if you really wanted to binge watch this entire batch of episodes it should only take you at very least two and a half to maybe three hours and this show is really helped by the fact that it has some really good pacing in alot of it's episodes. 

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As the shows action is pretty fun to watch when Kong is fighting over monsters but alot of the time all the action in this show mainly consists of is the human characters running away from a monster and there's only so long that you can watch that before it gets dull and boring which sadly for this show is really quite quickly and that really does bring down the overall quality of the action in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall given how this batch of episodes end and given that Netflix likes to have several batches of episodes all good to go it's safe to assume that this show will be getting more episodes released by the end of the year and with this being a decent show I can see it getting a good healthy following as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show 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 Godzilla fandom wiki page , Wikizilla 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 Wikizilla since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Wikizilla are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Secret Invasion TV Series

 

I think that it's fair to say that the MCU has been a bit rocky as of late with alot of the movies and TV shows genuinely not being all that good. Well the house of ideas is now back with a new live action TV series which until recently ha been promoted very well and well you all just knew that I have t check out the show the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that brings some old characters back into the fold with the show in question being called simply just "Secret Invasion" enjoy.

The plot of this is episode is Nick Fury learns of Skrull activity taking place on earth and so sets of on a mission to stop it 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 episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it's plot that also feels very generic as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this shows executive producer Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos. Also starring in this episode is Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik , Killian Scott as Pagon , Samuel Adewunmi as Beto , Scream VI star Dermot Mulroney as Ritson , Richard Dormer as Prescod , Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke as G'iah , Olivia Colman as Sonya Falsworth , Don Cheadle as James Rhodes , How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill and Sherlock star Martin Freeman as Everett Ross.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which isn't really a surprise given who is starring in not only this episode but in the show as whole but the issue is tho is that this films script doesn't really give the actors alot to work with interms of what their respective personalities even are.

Doing the CGI for not only this episode but also for the show as a whole is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Luma Pictures. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honest not that band granted we don't get alot of CGI in this episode but based on what very little CGI we did get the CGI in this episode looked not that bad.

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

The tagline for this show "Who Do You Trust" is very fitting because within the first ten minuets of the episode we find out that Everett Ross has a Skrull doppelganger. This right here shows us that no character is of limits and it means that anybody that we think is a hero could infact turn out to be one of the villains my only real issue with this is is that they did the reveal of Everett Ross's Skrull doppelganger far to early on in the shows run as it would have made for a really shocking plot twist if it happened say half way through this shows run instead of within the first ten minuets of this shows opening episode.

I find it very hard to believe that Nick Fury would straight up ignore Maria's calls for help as he is someone who would do the right thing. He is not someone who would ignore a friends plea for help no matter how trivial it is and this is something that the makers of the show should have addressed as it's something that really doesn't mesh with the character that we've seen since 2008's Iron Man film where he only got involved because of Tony announcing that he is Iron Man and heck in Avengers Assemble he openly ignored orders to blow up New York because it was the right thing to do.

Speaking of Maria Hill this episode straight up kills her off at the end of the episode which I will admit is something that I didn't see coming. However it doesn't have that same impact for the exact same reason that the Everett Ross doppelganger reveal doesn't have the same impact because it was done far to early as a death of a legacy character like Maria Hill would have had much more of an impact if it happened later on this shows run and heck they could have had Everett's Skrull doppelganger be the one to kill her and that would give you a nice double plot twist reveal.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty two minuets and forty four seconds. Which I will admit was not the running time that I was expecting this episode to have as alot of these Marvel Cinematic Universe shows have running time of around thirty minuets and to see one that's nearly an hour long really did shock me and it;s helps this episodes has more then enough story there to cover that running time and this episode really does have some really great pacing to it as well.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that 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 pretty bad. As you could very easily tell when they were and weren't using stunt doubles and it doesn't help that the action was generic at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall this really wasn't that bad of a first episode as it does a really good job of setting up the plot of the show but at the same time it's not as good as perhaps could or even should have been 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 post in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

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 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 the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Beauty And The Beast: Belle's Magical World Film Review

 

When people think of the classic Disney Renaissance they usually think of the theatrically released films. However what alot of people forget is that Disney also made a ton of direct to VHS later direct to DVD sequels to their most popular and well for a time one of their most popular was Beauty And The Beast which managed to spawn not one not two but technically three direct to VHS movies with this review being of the third movie and so then join me as I review the film makes the live action 2017 remake look good be comparison with the film in question being called simply just "Beauty And The Beast: Belle's Magical World" enjoy.

The plot of this film is the very first thing that's also wrong with this film as this film has no plot to speak of whatsoever. With the film instead being made up of three unconnected animated segments all of which have nothing to do with each other which if this was originally meant to be a film would be understandable but this was never meant to be a film and so the team just didn't bother to find away to link these segments together either by new animation or even perhaps a simple voice over and as such this films lack of a plot is a really big issue in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Paige O'Hara as Belle , Robby Benson as Beast and David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth and as The Narrator. Also starring in this film is Gregory Grudt as Chip , Anne Rogers as Mrs. Potts , Jerry Orbach as Lumiere , Kimmy Robertson as Fifi The Featherduster , the great Frank Welker as Sultan The Footstool , the great Jim Cummings as Webster , Tubaloo , Chef Bouche and The Punch Bowl , Jeff Bennett as Crane and Frappe , the great Rob Paulsen as LePlume , Tres and The Egg Beater , the great April Winchell as Chandeleria , Chaude and Concertina and Jo Anne Worley as Armoire The Wardrobe.

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. With alot of the films main cast returning for this movie and so it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances as they would know how best to portray their character in any given scene.

Doig the animation for this film is the little known animation studio that's known as Toon City Animation. 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 really bad which really shouldn't be the case for an animated Beauty And the Beast sequel but is sadly a very common thing for alot of these direct to VHS and direct to DVD Disney animated sequels.

Like Aladdin Beauty And The Beast was meant to get an animated TV show but for some strange reason the show was cancelled mid production. With what I think are the only fully completed episodes being edited into this movie and well I can kind of see why they didn't push forward with a Beauty And the Beast animated TV show as just based of off the segments in this film the show would have been a midquel in other words it would have bee set during certain events of the movie and there's only so many stories that you can tell with that idea in mind before things start to get really repetitive and that happens very quickly in this film.

I do give this film credit for having original musical numbers with the songs for this film being written by an unknown song writer. However having original songs doesn't equal a good movie as this film is very episodic in nature which given it's origins is very understandable but when Disney made the call to turn this TV show into a film then they should have done something to make it feel more like a film instead of being hastily put together which just makes the whole thing look like nothing more then a cheap cash grand and nothing more then that.

 

Where this episode feels very repetitive is The Beast himself as this film has two segments where The Beast has to deal with his anger issues. You really needed only one segment to talk about his anger but yet because the original show most likely didn't have that many fully completed episodes to begin with we instead get two segments in the same film with The Beast learning not to be so angry all the time which is just boring to see as it's something that gets covered in the films first segment and so we don't really need to see it again in the films final segment as we've already seen it.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty eight minuets and four seconds. Which for this kind of film is a tad bit on the long side as there is no plot to this film at all and so all your left doing is watching these characters go about their day to day lives and there's only so long you can sit through that before it starts to get really dull and boring which with this film is very quickly however tho I will very much that this film really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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 OK at best. A characters like Lumiere , Cogsworth and Chandeleria did get some decent jokes in but alot of the characters including both Belle and The Beast have some pretty lame and unfunny jokes in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is a pretty bad film and is not worthy of the Beauty And The Beast name as this film is just bad in alot of ways possible and like I said at the start of the review it makes the 2017 live action Disney remake look good by comparison 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 as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very 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.
