My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions of The One Piece Live Action TV Series

 

Nine times out of ten when an anime is given a live action TV series adaptation it usually ends up being pretty bad. However every once in a while there is a property that gives us all hope that this will be the one that bucks the trend and is an actually good adaptation well one such adaptation has just been released and I thought that i'd check it out and so then join me as I give my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the shows that promises to be an actually good live action anime adaptation with the show in question being called simply just "One Piece" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is young pirate gathers a crew to look for an ancient map that will lead to a mythical treasure all the while trying to escape a pirate with a grudge to bear. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad with both of the episodes plots being really enjoyable altho I will admit that episode one did have the stronger plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy , Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro and Emily Rudd as Nami. Also starring in these first two episodes is Vincent Regan as Vice Admiral Garp , Morgan Davies as Koby , Peter Gadiot as "Red-Haired" Shanks , Ilia Isorelýs Paulino as Alvida , Aidan Scott as Helmeppo , Langley Kirkwood as "Axe-Hand" Morgan and Jeff Ward as Buggy The Clown.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. While was kind of what I was expecting from this show as the acting in any anime live action adaptation is usually not that good and while the acting in these first two episodes is miles better then the acting that we got in say Dragonball Evolution for example it's also not as good as it should or even could have been

For once I have no idea who is providing the CGI for this show as there's no effects company listed anywhere online. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be with this shows CGI honestly being movie quality in alot of places as it was that good but with that said when you do get a bad looking CGI effect you really do notice it.

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

The producers of this show are the exact same producers who produced that good awful Cowboy Bebop adaptation. However they openly admitted that for this adaptation that there giving the fans of the manga and anime the characters as they expect them to be and not changing them in the slightest and guess what it actually works and judging by the reviews alot of the people actually like that they did this as it shows that they respected the source material which is something that they quite clearly didn't do when they were adapting Cowboy Bebop and it also helps that One Piece's creator Eiichiro Oda was heavily involved with the production where as the creator of Cowboy Bebop was kept as far away from that production as they possibly could do and that is something that really did show in everything that came from that show from the marketing to the interviews to final show itself.

I can't be the only one that's noticed this but for me the character of Buggy The Clown is pretty much One Piece's version of The Joker. This is something that came across quite strongly in both of his episodes of this show with his first episode portraying him as a sinister villain who is o be feared with his second and so far final episode showing just how insane he is with him burning down an entire town just because he could do which is something that you could see The Joker himself doing and on top of that just like The Joker he has a connection to our main heroes past in someway shape or form which does link them to our man hero possibly forever.

What I really loved about the first two episodes is the fact that they showed that this group isn't willing to work together for the most part. Even going as far to showing Nami portraying the group at the end of episode two which shows that the group is going to have some trust issues going into the shows midway point and beyond which is something that I really liked as it means that the characters have to grow with each other and aren't instantly best friends like alot of bad live action anime adaptations would do with their respective characters and that's the kind of love and attention that you'd only get if you had the original creator helping you out and you actually taking his notes onboard and making your script and show much more better in the process as it actually respect the source material that you show is based of off.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and four minuets and twenty four seconds whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty five minuets and twenty seven seconds. With episode one having the better running time just because those extra ten minuets really did allow for the episodes story to breathe alot more which is something that just isn't the case for episode two where you don;t have the time to fully take in what your seeing because the episode if busy rushing of to do the next plot relevant thing but I will admit that out of the two episodes episode two had the better pacing tho.

So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good. With the action in these first two episodes feeling like that they were ripped right out of the anime and this is coming from someone who has never seen and episode of the anime nor read a chapter of the manga with this episodes action just being fun with it giving us a really good chance to see what each of the characters in this show bring to the crew in any given situation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILER END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this show is perhaps the first good live action American TV anime adaptation with these first two episodes just being fun to watch with the characters that your meant to like being likable as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if I ever feel the need to check out the rest of this shows first season which considering each episode is an hour long and there eight episodes doesn't seem all the likely to happen anytime soon.

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 Cowboy Bebop fandom wiki page , the official One Piece fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official One Piece fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and on the official One Piece fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Red Dwarf "Trojan" Review

 

There are some shows that have a huge cut following no matter what genre they are apart of by they a comedy or a science fiction show there's just something about them that people love. With the same thing also being true for the show that i'm going to be talking about today which is also a show that I haven't really talked about in a while and i'm not going to lie that's not going to change anytime soon and so then join me as I review the episode that saw the boys from the dwarf return to a weekly TV series with the episode in question being called simply just "Trojan" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is when Red Dwarf picks up a distress call from Rimmer's seemingly more successful brother Rimmer , Kryten , Lister and Cat have to save him and his simulant companion. Now then inter,s 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 with this episodes plot being rather enjoyable and easy to follow along with in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Robot Wars and Takeshi's Castle host Craig Charles as Dave Lister and The Brittas Empire star Chris Barrie as Arnold Rimmer. Also starring in this episode is Danny John-Jules as Cat , Robert Llewellyn as Kryten , Mark Dexter as Howard Rimmer , Susan Earl as Sim Crawford , Lucy Newman-Williams as All Droid Jayne and the Phone Droid Voice , Bryan Bounds as All Droid Bob and the Phone Droid Voice , Laurence Bouvard as the Phone Droid Voice and Rupert Degas as the Phone Droid Voice.

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 isn't all that shocking as the four main leads have been playing their respective characters for decades at this point and so they would know what performance would best suit there characters at any given time what was shocking however was the fact that the guest cast for this episode also turned in some really solid performances as well with the guest cast more then holding their own when acting opposite the returning cast members which couldn't have been an easy thing to do and yet they do it wonderfully in this episode.

I will admit that I loved seeing Rimmer interact with his brother as it gave us a chance to see just how smug this character can be. Which was something that I really liked as that's very true to Rimmer's character at least this version of Rimmer and to see him and the crew just pulling of this entire charade just impress someone who is ultimately the exact same level as Rimmer just makes there whole interactions even more hysterical as it then becomes a case of one trying to outdo the other without letting on to the other person that that's what it is that there trying to do which is just genius screenwriting.  

With this episode we also saw the return of the show being filmed infront of a live studio audience which is something that really does make all the difference. As this is the kind of show that is made to be performed infront of a live studio audience and while it does limit what kind of camera moves that you can do it also lets you know what jokes are working and which ones aren't which luckily for this show series alot of it's jokes do work and you can tell that the cast love performing infront of an audience as well and I really do hope that for any future series or special that they keep the live audience just to make it feel alot more like Red Dwarf and alot less like any other science fiction comedy show out there.

This episode saw the team take a more back to basics approach with making the show whilst also including something that they didn't include in any of the previous series. With this new series only retaining the four main lead characters and no other recurring character from the previous series and also introducing subplots to the series with this episodes subplot really being really enjoyable but I would have liked if the Lister subplot tied into the main plot in someway just to make things a little bit more coherent but as it is the shows first subplot wasn't that bad and as was really entertaining as it led to one of the biggest laughs of the episode for me. 

I will admit that I didn't like this episodes surprise villain as it's something that wasn't really built up all that well at all. While we are given a reason as to why this episodes villain is the way that they are this episodes villain is taken out far to easily and really isn't all that creepy of a villain which is a shame because the idea behind this villain and what there end goal is is a really good idea it's just that the character doesn't have alot of dialog before there big reveal and so we don't really get the chance to know if something is up with this character and s when the big reveal does happen it comes out of nowhere.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty nine minuets. Which from what I remember is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show and to this episodes credit it does have more then enough there interms of either plot or story to cover that large amount of running time I do wish that the episode was a tad bit longer as I was having such a good time with this episode but on the flip side of that if this episode was longer then it would be stretching a thin story even thinner but I will admit tho that this episode really does have some good pacing to it.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talked about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of painfully funny laugh out loud moments with this episode having far to many funny moments to even count and it really does help that alot of this episodes jokes are really well written and comes across as being very character driven as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode was a great return to the boys from the dwarf as it is an episode that is just filled to the brim with painfully moments which will make alot of people laugh out loud and laugh hard 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 episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn 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 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 Red Dwarf 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 freaking Google Images are all really fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being really very fairly freaking high in definition.

The New Scooby-Doo Movies: Wednesday Is Missing Review

 

Scooby-Doo as a franchise has been going on since the nineteen sixties with the franchise rarely crossing over with properties. Well just in the franchises second incarnation there was a series that did just that every single and as it's been a good few years since I last looked at an episode from Scooby-Doo I thought that it was about to time to tackle another episode and so then join me as I review the episode that see's Scooby and the gang meet up with some creepy , spooky and all together ookey bunch of characters with the episode in question being called simply just "Wednesday Is Missing" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is Scooby and the gang are hired by The Addams Family to be house keepers while Gomez and Morticia go on a second honeymoon and have to find Wednesday who mysteriously goes missing. 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 with this episodes plot being very entertaining and very engaging in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Don Messick as Scooby-Doo , Casey Casem as Shaggy Rogers and Frank Welker as Fred Jones. Also starring in this episode is Nicole Jaffe as Velma Dinkley , Heather North as Daphne Blake , John Astin as Gomez Addams , Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams , Jodie Foster as Pugsley Addams , Cindy Henderson as Wednesday Addams , voice acting legend Janet Waldo as Granny Frump / Grandmama , Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester , Ted Cassidy as Lurch and Felix Silla as Cousin Itt.

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 all that surprising as all of this episodes cast members have been playing their respective characters for some years with the same thing not necessary being true for the kids actors who while not bad can't hold a candle to their adult cast mates and instead just come across as being rather flat and boring. 

Doing the animation for this episode is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at Hanna-Barbera Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad altho there were some really very noticeable animation errors like Gomez's eyebrows disappearing and reappearing again among many others which really does bring down the overall quality of the animation in this very episode.

While this episode does feature The Addams Family it also serves more of a continuation of the live action The Addams Family series then it does being it's own unique take on the family. This is most evident in the fact that several of that shows stars reprise there roles for this episode with the most noticeable absences being Lisa Loring and Ken Weatherwax who were replaced for being two old to play Wednesday and Pugsley respectively which is a casting choice that I don't agree with as they were key actors from the original show and as they would have been voicing the characters it really doesn't matter if their older or not as they still might have sounded younger then what they actually were in real life.

In a rather odd move this is the only episode that hasn't been included on any official DVD release of this show thank to the Charles Addams estate blocking all uses of the episode on home media. The episode did see a very few and rare releases on VHS back in the nineties but that's really it and because of that this show can never have a full series release and while I don't know why his estate are blocking the use of this episode on home media I find it odd that they wouldn't want to see Charles Addams most famous creations on an official release of what surely most be the worlds longest on going franchise as that is a great way to get kids today interested in the The Addams Family in a more family friendly way that also really respects the family as a whole.

The mystery aspect of this episode was perhaps this episodes weakest aspect as it's painfully obvious who the main villains of this episode are as there only other characters that we meet outside of the main characters. Which makes me wonder why they just didn't include more main characters just to make it more of an actual mystery not really helping things is the fact that this episode doesn't really give us any clues as to who this episodes main villain even is which means that we the audience can't even work out for ourselfs who the main villain ll of which make me wonder why they bothered to include a mystery as just the mystery of where Wednesday is is more then enough to sustain this episode and they don't really need another more weaker mystery on top of all of that.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and nineteen seconds. Which if my memory serves me correctly is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show however with that being said this episode really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover that large amount of running time with this episode really only having enough plot to cover a standard twenty two minuet episode of Scooby-Doo Where Are You which means that we get alot of scenes that don't add anything to the plot of this episode with alot of those scenes just being Scooby and the gang exploring The Addams Family mansion and that's it but I will admit that this episode does have some decent pacing to it tho. 

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode having alot of genuinely really funny moments in it with alot of this episodes best jokes coming from Velma who was given alot of the episodes funnier lines and it was just pure fun seeing the Scooby gang interacting with The Addams Family which allowed us to get some really good jokes just out of that idea alone in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really solid crossover episode and it's one that should be made available on home media just so younger kids could see The Addams Family teaming up with Scooby-Doo as it's that good of a crossover 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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page , 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 wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My First SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!! Impressions Of The Ahsoka TV Series

 

At long last the day that I and many others have been waiting is now finally here as we have not only a brand new Star Wars TV show to hopefully look forward to every week but one that features a now fan favorite character in the main role. I will admit that this is a show that i've been super excited to see ever since it was first announced and well now that the first two episodes are here with us you all just knew that I was going to be checking them out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my first SPOILER FREE impressions that introduces more fan favorite characters into the word of the Star Wars live action world with the TV series in question being called simply just "Ahsoka" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is when she hears news of an old enemy returning former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano goes about trying to prevent his return. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad as they both did a good job of setting up the plot of the show but at the same time the plot just isn't all that interesting in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes are Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren. Also starring in these first two episodes are Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla , the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll , Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati , Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth , David Tennant as The Voice Of Huyang , Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger , Mark Rolston as Captain Hayle , Peter Jacobson as Myn Weaver , Shelby Young as The Voice Of C1-D1 and Clancy Brown as Governor Ryder Azadi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which really isn't all that surprising as alot of the cast members for these two episodes are a bunch of really good actors and actress which in this case are helped by the wonderful script for these first two episodes.

Doing the CGI for these first two episodes is Legacy Effects and 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 these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good which is nothing new for these Star Wars shows as all of them have really good CGI in them with the CGI in these first two episodes being movie quality good.

For those of you that don't know this show is a spiritual sequel to the show Star Wars Rebels with this show not only picking up on the finale of Star Wars Rebels but also featuring alot of it's main characters. With that said however I don't think that you need to have seen Star Wars Rebels in order to understand this show as these first two episodes do a good job of setting up the main characters from Rebels and filling you in in what the ending cliffhanger from Rebels is but I will say to be save you should at least watch a couple of episodes of Rebels altho like I said you don't really need to watch an episode from that show in order to fully understand this show.

I will say that this is something that happens to Sabine at the end of episode one of this show that I didn't like as usually it would mean that she wouldn't be un the show anymore. Yet for some reason she is still able to appear in the show even tho when this thing has happend to other characters it usually meant that they were gone for good while it is a good cliffhanger and a great hook to get you to watch episode two it's something that doesn't work when you take into account that something like this has happend to other characters and so it makes you wonder why Sabine was able to survive and live to see another day.

I have to admit that I loved seeing alot of the Ghost crew from Rebels appear in live action as it's something that makes sense for the storyline of this show. Plus it really does help that alot of them look really good in live actin which is something that you don't get to see all that often as more often that not what works and looks good in animation might not always work and look good in the world of live action and while some of the characters like Sabine could have been written better that doesn't take away from the fact she is a character that not only looks good in live action but whose baseline character could also work well in live action as well.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty four minuets and forty three seconds whilst episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time if exactly forty two minuets and fifteen seconds. While episode two had the better running time I think that each episode of this show should be at least one hour long just to allow the plot of the show a chance to breathe and to give the characters more of a chance to get in some decent character development which is something that a show like this one just cannot do and still a good story at the exact time but I will admit that both episode have some really good pacing to them.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good. With both of these first two episodes containing some really good action scenes in them with perhaps episode one having the better action out of the two episodes but even then it's very closely followed up by episode two as both of the episodes have some really good action in both of them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall just based of these first two episodes i'd say that this might be a good show but that is of course far to early to say but the show is of to really good start and is hopefully going to be a fun filled ride in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episode airs or even is released online 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 Disney fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars 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 on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest Special Review

 

Disney is currently in the middle of both celebrating it's one hundredth anniversary and trying to save it's Snow White remake from flopping harder then The Flash. However the company still found time to make and put an animated special that is oddly fitting for a major anniversary year and is alot better then what it really had right to be and so then join me as I review the special brings together five Disney Princesses and one Disney villain with the special in question being called simply just "LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest" enjoy.

The plot of this special is when Gaston tries to take over all of the known kingdoms it's up to Snow White , Ariel , Moana , Rapunzel and Tiana to complete three challenges in order to save Ariel's father from dying to stop Gaston once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this special plot wasn't all that good either with the specials plot being weak at it's absolutely best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is Disney legend Jodi Benson as Ariel , Anika Noni Rose as Tiana and Mandy Moore as Rapunzel. Also starring in this special is Auli'i Cravalho as Moana , Katherine Von Till as Snow White , Richard White as Gaston , the great Jim Cummings as King Triton , the great Corey Burton as Magic Mirror , Jo Anne Worley as Wardrobe , Roland Rubio as Flower , the great Jeff Bennett as Mr. Smee and Barrett Leddy as Iago.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. Altho I will admit Anika Noni Rose's voice does sound like a bit to raspy for Tiana and while this specials cast do turn in rather solid performances they can't turn in great performances as this specials script just doesn't give the cast a whole lot to work with interms of what their respective personalities even are or are even meant to be.

Doing the animation for this special is Zebu Animation Studios and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pure Imagination Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. I do however take issue with the character designs as for some strange reason all of the characters are given these really long arms which just look really of putting and the characters don't even look like Lego pieces.

This special is trying so hard to be like the 2012 film The Avengers however it forgets to treat the characters as actual characters. With all of this specials characters just coming across as being very one note with all of them having one personality trait and that's it with Ariel being the groups leader for some reason who can do no wrong , Moana likes ocean and that's is , Tiana and Rapunzel have pretty much no personality trait and Snow White is a mixture between the weird one or the dumb one of the group with none of these as far as I can remember matching up with their personalities in their respective films as in their movies their nearly all given faults that make them feel alot more well rounded and yet here there all given no faults.

For some reason both Jasmine and Belle aren't featured in this special this is despite Belle having met Gaston before and Jasmine being a more stronger and well known character then either Tiana or Rapunzel. Heck both of which would have made great editions to this special as Belle would have known how to defeat Gaston before and Jasmine would know what to do in a tough situation which really does make me wonder why they weren't included in this special as they are still very well known characters and are legacy characters who are perhaps more well known to older Disney fans then either Tiana or Rapunzel for example.

I will admit that this special when it wants to be can be really fun with the most fun parts of the special just coming from these iconic interacting with each other. Ad there's just something about seeing Ariel talking to Moana or Snow White talking to Tiana that just make the special worth watching and while we don't get any memorable lines from these interactions just the fact that there meeting each other in the first place does make this special a must watch for me especially if you have little kids as they are the ones that will get the most enjoyment from this special and that who this special is mostly aimed at in the first place.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty seven minuets and nineteen seconds. Which is a tad but on the long side for this special but on the flip side this special also feels like it's far to short as well as even tho the story for this special is on the weaker side of things the characters more then make u for it and with a longer running time all of the specials characters Gaston included could have been fully fleshed out and become more three dimensional then what they are in this special but I will very much admit tho that this special really does have some pretty good pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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 special 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 special was in all honesty not that bad. With Snow White getting alot of the specials best jokes which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case as they only recently started making Snow White more of a comedic character and so there was really no telling if they would give some jokes in this special and yet not only do they give her alot of jokes there also jokes that seem fitting with her character from the original 1937 film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this special wasn't as good as I thought that it would be it's definitely alot better then what it had any right to be and it's always nice to hear the original voice of Ariel no matter where in animation Ariel appears in in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , 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 really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Victory Of The Daleks Review

 

Doctor Who is never really known for having season long arcs and yet for both the Russel T. Davies mark one era and the Steven Moffat era each season of the show had one long storyline running all through it. With the episode that i'm about to review for you all today doing something pretty stupid with it's series long storyline and so then join me as I review the episode that is pretty much The Power Of The Daleks but for the more modern era with the episode is question being called simply just "Victory Of The Daleks" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor and Amy find themselves helping Sir Winston Churchill who has a new secret weapon to help England win the second world war one which The Doctor knows all to well. 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 altho it was a pretty thin plot and is quite clearly not as good as it perhaps should or even as good as it perhaps could have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as The Doctor , Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Ian McNeice as Sir Winston Churchill. Also starring in this episode is Bill Paterson as Edwin Bracewell , Nina De Cosimo as Blanche , Tim Wallers as Childers , Susannah Fielding as Lilian , James Albrecht as Todd , Colin Prockter as The Air Raid Warden , Nicholas Pegg as Dalek 1 , Barnaby Edwards as Dalek 2 and Nicholas Briggs as The Voices 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. Which really isn't all that unsurprising given just how good this episodes cast members are but it's all the more surprising as this episodes script is pretty bad with the new actors given next to nothing to work with with interms of what their respective characters personalities even are and so they can't turn that good of a performance and that is something that does effect the overall quality of the acting in this episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is Real SFX and of course we have the legends and the greats that are currently over at The Mill. 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 not that bad with this episodes CGI alot better then what I really thought that it would be and was easily alot better then the CGI that you'd expect to see on a low budget TV show from the early 2010's.

If your like me then you'll remember this episode for one meme only and that's the fact that someone on Youtube put in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme song over the scene where we get to first see the new Daleks. As yes the new Daleks do look like Power Rangers how the maker of this show didn't realise this when they were first making it is beyond me and while the overall design for these new Daleks isn't that bad it's also not that good with the new design having nothing really unique that makes them standout from all of the other Daleks and having them destroy the old Dalek designs to me just felt like a cheap way of saying "look aren't these new designs so much cooler then the old ones" when in truth the older designs still work really well and still look really good.

What I really loved about this episode was seeing The Doctor just get angry at The Daleks as that is something that we don't get to see all that often in the show. On top of all of that it also helps to sell you on just how much of a threat these villains are as we the audience know that they are up to something as does The Doctor but Amy and the rest of this episodes guest cast don't and so them especially to Amy seeing The Doctor go mad at these seemingly helpful characters for no apparent reason and the fact that for most of this episode this version of The Doctor isn't his usual childlike self and instead far more serious again just helps sell you on the fact that these are his most deadliest foes and that he is feeling alot of pain by just seeing them alone yet again whilst he is all alone in the universe.

There is something that I really hated in this episode ad that's the fact that even Amy gets a good clear look at the where the crack in the wall is she never mentions it. As don't forget the crack is behind the TARDIS and Amy is stood there when the TARDIS dematerialises so not only she but also Sir Winstone Churchill as well for that matter would therefor know that there's a strange crack in the wall and it's something that they never address in the episode which given that the cracks in the wall form not only this seasons season long arc but also form part of an arc for this version of The Doctor as well it is really something that should have been addressed at least once in this episode.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly forty one minuets. Which for this episode is far two short of a running time as you very easily could have made this episode a two part episode which would have not only have served the story even better as it would have had more room to breathe but it also would have served The Daleks themselves as well with the natural ending point for part one being when The Daleks reveal themselves as evil and I will admit that this episode does have some rather solid pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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. However that's also the issue as the action that we got in this episode wasn't all that good either as there wasn't anything visually interesting happening during this episodes action scene while the music does help to make the action feel exciting there's nothing that makes the action in this episode feel all that exciting at all in the slightest in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this wasn't a bad Dalek episode as there are much more worse ones out their but at the same time this isn't a particularly good Dalek episode either as there are much more better ones out there 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 really does earn 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 , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

The Cheetah Girls 2 Film Review

 

Disney Channel Original Movies are a thing that alot of us grew up with with their movies being the right kind of strange and wonderfully Disney. The film that i'm about to review for you all today is a film that is s sugary sweet that you'll need a dentist appointment after watching it and it's also one of the films that stars a group that sadly never really went anywhere and so then join me as I review the film that sees some girls try to take Barcelona by storm with the film in question being called simply just "The Cheetah Girls 2" enjoy.

The plot of this film is The Cheetah Girls fly all the way to Barcelona to enter a music competition but find their friendship tested along the way. 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 but at the same time this films plot felt like the stereotypical Disney Channel Original Movie and nothing really all the more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is one of this films producers Raven-Symoné as Galleria "Bubbles" Garibaldi and Adrienne Bailon as Chanel "Chuchie" Simmons. Also starring in this film is Sabrina Bryan as Dorinda "Do" Thomas , Kiely Williams as Aquanette "Aqua" Walker , singer Belinda as Marisol Durán , Kim Manning as Lola Durán , Lynn Whitfield as Dorothea Garibaldi , Lori Alter as Juanita Simmons , Golan Yosef as Joaquin , Peter Vives as Angel and Abel Folk as Luc.

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 alot better then what it had any right to be. As nobody expects great acting from a Disney Channel Original Movie let alone that features a real life band in it as those don't typically have even good acting in them but when you have a director as good as High School Musical director Kenny Ortega someone who knows how to get a good performance out of his cast then it's no wonder that this film is filled to the brim with good performances.

Unlike alot of movies that feature a band as it's main cast of characters the band in this film actually formed after the first film. The band did go into to release some singles and albums but as a three piece band as Raven would only join them after they did the movies and not inbetween movies which to em just doesn't add up as it would have been easier to sell the singles and albums if it was all four girls and not just the three of them and sadly not long after the release of the third film the band went their separate ways to various degrees of success and it doesn't look like that they'll be getting back together anytime which is a shame because with the whole nostalgia kick that everyone is on right now right now would be the perfect time time to get the band back together again for either a one off special of even a Disney+ original movie really anything would do for that matter.

One of the things that I didn't like about this film is the fact that it has a very really predictable main villain. With the main villain of this film just being rather flat and boring as they do what they always do in these Disney Channel Original Movies and that's make her a good guy by the end of the movie which is a trope that I hate as it leaves us with no real villain and while the villain does have a solid motivation she's not really funny enough nor is she charming enough or even scary enough for that matter to be all that memorable with her instead coming across as being rather flat and two dimensional.

As a drama this film really doesn't work as the drama just felt rather forced and what makes this even worse is the fact that they resolve all their issues within a few minuets. When those issues would have been more then enough to support the entire movie thus the film doesn't really need to have a villain at all as all that does is add more drama when it really isn't needed which is a shame because if the film did have no villain and the film just focused on the girls and their issues it would have made for much more better film and heck you could still end the film with the big musical number at the music festival as that's what the whole entire film has been working towards.

This film is a musical which has songs written by Matthew Gerrard , Robbie Nevil , Jamie Houston , Ray Cham , Charlene Licera , Raven-Symoné and Will Robinson. I loved all of the songs in this film with all of the songs in this film being really fun poppy songs that were all really catchy and were all really sung as well with my all time favorite song from this film being "Amigas Cheetahs" which is a song that I have always loved as it is just a fun filled song that is really well sung from all four girls and it helps that it's also a really catchy song that will stay stuck in your head for sometime after watching the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty two minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for alot of Disney Channel Original Movies and it while this film doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover that amount of running time it's at least fun and charming enough to where you don't really notice the lack of story and as such this film really doesn't feel that long and isn't as dull and really as boring as you might think that it is and it helps that this film really does have some really good pacing to it as well.

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 really bad. As this film isn't that funny with this film including jokes that were funny back in 2006 but are now just painfully unfunny which is a shame as two of this films main cast members are really funny people but they still need funny things to say and sadly the writers of this film just didn't give any of the characters anything funny to actually say or do and so all we are left with is a comedy drama film that isn't really all that funny and has really bad drama init in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film wasn't as funny as I remember it being but the songs are just as good if not better then what I remember them being with this film being a film that I highly recommend just due to how much fun this film is 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 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 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 really wonderful Google Images as since all of the images that are currently up and featured / presented to us up and on the really great and wonderful on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.
