Doctor Who: The Reign Of Terror Review

Doctor Who has had many important episodes over it's sixty year run with some coming as recent as just this past year. However the episode itself whilst not important in any meaningful way does include alot of firsts for the series with of those firsts really being that this is the shows first ever series finale and so then join me as I review the episode that saw the first ever series of Doctor Who go out on a really high note and with a bang with the episode in question being called simply just "The Reign Of Terror" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is that when The Doctor , Ian , Barbera and Susan land in France during the French Revolution they must find away to save themselves before they are killed. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the plot of the episode being really high up there interms of Doctor Who plots as that's really just how good the plot of this episode really was as the plot of this episode does a good job of keeping you guessing about what's going to happens next and as a result it does make the plot come across as being a really well written plot which given who is writing this episode really isn't all that surprising at all with the plot of this episode of episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , William Russell as Ian Chesterton and Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright. Also starring in this episode is Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman , Keith Anderson as Robespierre , Jack Cunningham as The Jailer , Jeffry Wickham as Webster , Neville Smith as D'Argenson , Laidlaw Dalling as Rouvray , Peter Walker as The Small Boy , James Cairncross as Lemaitre , Roy Herrick as Jean , Donald Morley as Jules Renan , Tony Wall as Napoléon Bonaparte , Caroline Hunt as Danielle , Edward Brayshaw as Léon Colbert  , Santa Claus: The Movie star John Barrard as The Shopkeeper and John Law as Paul Barras.

Now the  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 / resented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is really nothing new for this show as the show in this early batch of episodes always had some really good acting in ti with this episode of course being no exception to this rule as all of the actors in this episode really do turn in some really wonderful performances with the same thing also being true for the episodes cast who more then hold there own when it comes to acting against the series main cast with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes cast have to do is just say the lies as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Theta Sigma. Now the 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 / resented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. However despite the episode episode having some really good high quality animation in the stories two missing episodes the animation in this episode is also really filled to the brim with alot of cuts which is something that does get annoying really quickly and alot of the characters are given this plastic look which really just makes them look rather odd and really weird this despite the fact that the movements on the characters were really good and really fluid as well with there being alot of detail in each and every single frame of animation and as a result while the quality of the animation in this episode is indeed really high there are alot of things in this episodes animation that also make it come across as also being really off putting as well.

This episode actually features a ton of firsts for the show like the first time that a child actor speaks on the show and the first script to be written by Dennis Spooner. However most importantly is the fact that this episode actually features the first time that the Doctor Who production team actually did some on location filming and while the location filming doesn't feature any of the main cast as it's Brian Proudfoot stood in for William Hartnell during those scenes and while those scenes are incredibly short it does add alot of production value to the show as nothing will ever beat filming on location and while the locations chosen filming aren't really all that impressive at all the very fact that they went on location in the first place is truly something to behold as it does cost alot of money to film on location and the very fact that the BBC approved location filming for a show that hadn't even finished it's first series yet really does show you just how much faith that they had in the show at the time.

One of the major issues that this episode does have is the fact that the film footage episode three really wasn't looked after. As the film footage with Ian is pretty much close to being unwatchable as there are alot of grain in that film footage plus many other things which is of course no fault of the BBC as the episode was lost for many years but they should have gone to some length to trying to repair the episode as a whole when uploading them to BBCIPlayer or when it came to the 2013 DVD as that footage is key to that part of the story and alot of the time that footage is borderline unwatchable and it's something that you can't really miss because if you did then you'd be left wondering how Ian escaped from the French prison in the first place but with that issue aside there are other issues to be found in this episode like the fact that alot of the guest characters do come across as being rather one dimensional characters and aren't as interesting as they really should have been given the fact that this episode is a historical episode that's based on a real event. 

To say that this episode goes to to some dark places is a huge understatement as not only does one of the episodes cliffhangers have Barbera and Susan get taken away to be be-headed by guillotine. There's also a cliffhanger where The Doctor almost dies in a fire and The Doctor himself just straight up knocks a guy out with this more darker version of the show being truly shocking to see especially if your used to things being a lot more lighter in tone and heck even the main characters do find themselves "loosing" quite alot of the time and it's not until the final two episodes where things start to turn around for our characters and while having a more darker Doctor Who story does indeed work for this story it's something that would also get old and depressing really quickly if it was something that happened all the time and even then it only works for this story given the fact that ti's taking during the French Revolution which was a notoriously dark time in France's history and as a result having a much more darker story in this time period is a really fitting thing to have in this episodes plot.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember what this episodes grand total running time even was I do know that this episode has / had a rough grand total running time of roughly two hours and thirty thirty minuets. With this episode being six episodes long with episodes four and five being fully animated episodes with this episode count being the perfect amount of episodes for this story to have as the story doesn't have alot of there interms of plot to really cover anything really longer then that and if the story was given a short episode count yes it would really have alot more of a focused plot but it would also mean missing out some really good character stuff as well and it would also mean that the story as a whole would also really run the risk of being butchered as well which would go a really long way to make this episode a really bad episode where as as it is this is a really good episodes thanks to it's running time but I will admit that this episode really does gave some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is  a 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 thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As sixties Doctor Who really wasn't known for having good action in it and while that is also true for this episode as well the action that we do get in this episode was really good as added to the story and was also really exciting to see as we got to see the characters do whatever it takes just to get out of whatever situation that there in and while we don't get to see anything to over the top which does make sense given that Doctor Who was made on a really small budget and as such couldn't really do all that much action wise what they do get to do action wise do also work really well in the context of the episode and was also really exciting to see as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it's not hard to see why alot of people really do like this episode as the episode really does have alot of really good things going for it however sadly it's things like the cuts in the animation that bring down the episodes quality down by quite alot along with alot of other things also mentioned in this review 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 really does mean 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 girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Emissary" Review

Star Trek has spawned many a TV show in both the realms of animation and live action and while it's prime was no doubt really in the sixties. The franchise started to become really popular again around the nineties with there being three live action shows airing during the decade with only two of them ever airing at the exact same time at different points in the nineties and so then join me I review the episode that saw Deep Space Nine launch with the episode in question being called simply just "Emissary" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Commander Benjamin Sisko is told that he is destined to discover an ancient home world by going through a wormhole and must discover it before a race of aliens called The Cardassian's find it and use it's power for evil. 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 as the plot of the episode is a good example of just how good this franchise was and still could be when it's at it's best with the plot of the episode doing a very good of setting up all of the characters in a way that feels organic and giving at least one of them a really interesting character arc for the episode with the plot of the episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Avery Brooks as Commander Sisko , Rene Auberjonois as Odo and Siddig El Fadil as Doctor Bashir. Also starring in this episode is Terry Farrell as Lieutenant Dax , Cirroc Lofton as Jake Sisko , Colm Meaney as Chief O'Brien , Armin Shimerman as Quark , Nana Visitor as Major Kira , Camille Saviola as Kai Opaka , Felecia M. Bell as Jennifer Sisko / Jennifer Alien , Marc Alaimo as Gul Dukat , Joel Swetow as Gul Jasad , Aron Eisenberg as Nog , Stephen Davies as A Tactical Officer , Frank Owen Smith as Curzon , Lynnda Ferguson as Doran and Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard / Locutus Of Borg.

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. With alot of the episodes cast turning in some really solid performances but on the flip of side is the fact that we do get alot of really bad performances in this episodes which is understandable as this is the only the first episode of the show but with that being said you always want to start of with your best foot forward and that is something that this episode is very severely lacking acting wise as while we do get good performances from the likes of Avery Brooks , Colm Meaney and Nana Visitor for example however we also get some really bad performances from the likes of Cirroc Lofton who comes across as being more really annoying then cute and Marc Alaimo for example who really is just over the top but not in a charming way with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good  that all the episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rhythm & Hues Studios and VisionArt. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented t us in this very episode well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us  in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the episodes CGI having aged really well as alot of the time it really is hard to tell what was done in a computer and what was done as miniature which does go to show you just how good the CGI in this episode really was with the episodes CGI being alot better then what it really had any right to be alot of the time as while we do get some dodgy looking CGI effects those are very few and far between with the episode having alot more good looking CGI effects in it then it does have some really bad looking CGI effects in it as well.

For those of you that don't know both this show and Star Trek: Voyager are set in the exact same continuity as both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. With this episode having a few characters from the The Next Generation either be a guest character or join the show as apart of it's main cast with Sir Patrick Stewart guest starring in this episode and Colm Meaney joining the main cast and while having this connection does indeed make sense as The Next Generation was a big success when this show was being made it also doesn't work in this episodes favor as all it does is remind you that you could be watching a much more better show and while this episode does set up it's new characters really well it does nothing to introduce the guest characters which does make sense but again at the same time there will be alot of mainstream audiences that don't know these characters and won't want to watch several seasons of a TV show and a few movies just to get a decent understanding of who these characters when the episode could tell us who these characters and explain to us why these characters are actually really important characters.

To this episodes credit it does delve into some rather adult themes with the episode dealing with the themes of death and how hard it is to move on when you've lost someone that you love. This was a rather mature theme to take on as not alot of TV's would take on this theme and even fewer would tackle it in the way that this episode does by having what can only be described as not really time travel as Commander Sisko interacts with a being that doesn't understand linear time and as a result of that is the fact that he has to come to terms with the death of his wife and in doing so tech the being that humans and aliens deserve to live and deserve a second chance of life which is something that does work really well as it ties into his character arc of learning to come to terms with the death of his wife and learning to forgive the person the person that he deems responsible for her death that being none other than Captain Jean-Luc Picard which also gives him a really interesting character arc for this episode and while that arc would have worked better if it was stretched out over the course of the series the way that it was handled in this episode works really well as well.

While the episode does go into some details on the characters backstory not alot of the characters get alot of character development. With the character that gets the most character development being quite easily Commander Sisko who goes from wanting to leave Starfleet and hating pretty much everything that they do to someone who is willing to forgive Captain Jean-Luc Picard for something that he had no control over and couldn't help doing and while it is understandable that he would get alot of the character development in this episode it also would have helped the episode out quite alot if some of the other characters not only got some character development but also became alot more fleshed out then what Commander Sisko is as this is an ensemble franchise it always has been and when only one of the ensemble gets character development and gets to become more of a fully fleshed out character then the whole show start to suffer because of it as the us the audience now have no other reason to watch the rest of the rest of the show as none of the characters get the chance to come across as being interesting characters.

Now then this episode has / has an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and forty nine seconds. With this episode originally airing as a two hour premier episode before being split up into a two part episode when in syndication with the episode really having alot there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running and the episode itself having enough story to justify being a two part story as it does have alot of things to set up like the location of the show the shows characters and what there relationships to each other will be in the series moving and it has to do all of that and still tell a good story and t wouldn't be able to do all of that and as a result of that is the fact that by giving in an extra forty five minuets it gives the episode that needs to do all of that and then some and while yes yes the episode could have used that extra running tie to fully flesh out alot of it's characters the episode does make the best of it's longer running time but I will admit that the episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So ow then as this is an action show that really does mean that I ave to actually talk about the actual action thats 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 by Star Trek TV standards. As Star Trek TV shows have never really had the best action in them at least in the early nineties as alot of them just had ships firing at each other and the characters reacting to it and that's also the case here but at the same time tho we also get to how thew action in this episode deeply effects one of the characters which does make it oddly engaging but at the same time tho we the audience do expect there to be alot more fun and creative action scenes in them and that's something that Star Trek was very sadly lacking at this point in time as alot of the action in this episode just felt very samey and not really all that new and creative at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this wasn't a good episode it wasn't necessarily a bad one either as it does good job of setting up all of the things that need to bet set up like the characters and the location of the series for example but at the same time this episode isn't the strongest episode to start out on either as the acting is really weak and the plot really take a while for it to really get going as well which does harm the episode as a whole in my freaking opinions anyways / 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 7.5 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 Star Trek 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.

My SPOILER FREE Review of The Knuckles TV Series

The Sonic The Hedgehog franchise has already conquered the world of video games and the world of animation and is starting to conquer the world of live action. With the movies helping to prove that video game movies can be great f given the right hands and well we now the franchises first ever live action TV Series and well you just knew that I had to check the show out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you SPOILER FREE review of the show that is alot better then it really had any right to be with the show in question being called simply just "Knuckles" enjoy.

The plot of this show Knuckles finds himself the target for a group of government scientists who want to use his power and so must out run with the help of the hapless Wade Whipple. 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 the plot of the show doing a very good of expanding the world of the movies in a way that feels natural whilst at the exact same time doing it's own thing and being's own unique thing and while the plot of the show does pretty much have the exact same plot as that of the first movie even down to having some very similar characters it is still a very plot that works well enough in the context of the show with the plot also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is one of this shows executive producers Idris Elba as Knuckles and Adam Pally as Wade Whipple. Also starring in this show is Edi Patterson as Wanda Whipple , Stockard Channing as Wendy Whipple , Julian Barratt as Jack Sinclair , Rory McCann as The Buyer , Scott Mescudi as Agent Mason , Ellie Taylor as Agent Willoughby , Cary Elwes as "Pistol" Pete Whipple , Tika Sumpter as Maddie Wachowski , Ben Schwartz as Sonic The Hedgehog , Christopher Lloyd as Pachacamac and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Miles "Tails" Prower.

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 really good. With alot of this shows cast turning in some really good performances which really shouldn't be all that surprising given who is starring in this show and the fact that some of these actors have been playing there respective characters for decades at this point and would there for thus now how there character would react in any given situation with the franchises newer cast members more then holding there own when it comes to acting against the returning actors as well with the acting in this show really being helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are just so good that all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally as that's just how good the acting in this show really is.

Doing the CGI for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Outpost VFX and Rising Sun Pictures. Bow then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this show well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad which is something that does make alot of sense when you take into account who is doing the the CGI for this show and the fact that the CGI for this show was done at the same time as the CGI for the third movie was done as well with the effects in this show really looking alot better then what they really had any right to be as the effects in this show really could have looked really bad and yet what we got instead was movie quality effects as that's just how good the CGI was in this show really where with the effects in this show being really alot better then the effects in any Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show or movie for that matter.

Without going to much into spoilers this show does copy the first film in alot ways due to the similar plots and the similar parings of characters. However it does something different from the first film by showing us that Knuckles is actually struggling to adapt to life on earth with him still training hard for a fight that will never come and by doing something with the Wachowski kitchen this is such a good idea as it's something that we haven't really seen in this franchise before and it gives us the audience the chance to see a different side to a character who might be seen as being very one dimensional as alot of people do struggle to adapt to new surroundings and seeing a popular video game character go through that as well does give them someone else to look up to as they'd get the chance to see how he copes with it and while the show doesn't go into alot of detail about this aspect of the show it is something that really does make the show standout from all of the other video game adaptations that are out there right now and its something that really does work well enough in this shows favor as well.

One of the few things that this show gets wrong is the fact that it doesn't really set up Wade's family all that well. With alot of them just being there for the sake of rounding out the cast and not because they serve a purpose to the plot of the show with the only one against that rule apart from Wade himself is Wade's father who actually does play a part in the plot of the show but his mother and sister don't play a part in the show and there meant to be key side characters and as a result alot more effort should have gone into not only fully developing these characters to make them alot more fleshed out as characters but they also should played a bit more of a part in the plot of the show instead of just having them do what they do in the show as that would make the shows message about family and home hit home all the more as both Wade and Knuckles are two sides of the same coin as there each trying to find a home and find a family and they find that with each other and with Wade's family and that message doesn't hit home when you take into account that Wade's sister and mother have next to nothing to do interms of the shows actual plot.

Unlike alot of shows that are being released on streaming services this show is only six episodes which is something that really does help the show out in the long run. As the show works best as a six episode mini-series as there's no way that you could get a full twenty two episode series out of this show not without really butchering it's plot and spreading it thin beyond relief where as here the show can just do it's thing and we the audience can have alot of fun with it and while yes longer shows do exist on streaming and alot of those shows do work out really well but that doesn't mean that this show really needed to be a long show with six episodes being the solid amount of episodes and while the show could have benefited from having longer in some aspects like fleshing out the villains for example who just come across as being fairly one dimensional characters and by fleshing out the family members we have to remember that this is a spin off of a still on going film series and as such alot of the characters from the show could appear in the still upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog 3 but with that being said the show would have been  a little bit better if the villains plan was at least somewhat original and not just a copy of a Dr. Robotnik plan.

Now then each episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then thirty five minuets with each episode typically coming around the thirty minuet mark. Which is a solid running episode of this show to have as the show as a whole doesn't a whole lot there interms of plot to begin and as a result of that is the fact that there's no need to stretch out the running time of each episode as by doing that the show would then run the risk of stretching what is already a fairly thinly drawn out plot even thinner and by keeping the running time of each episode as small as it is it then it allows the show to keep every single episode of the show by about pushing then plot of the show forward with there being very little to no room for filler and while yes we might get one or two filler moment in certain episodes even those moments can't be considered filler as they play a part in the overall plot and in Wade's character arc as well but I will admit that this show really does have some really good 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 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 really good. With the action in the show being just as fun as the action is in the films and while the action in the films will always be better as the films have the budget to do better action the action that we got in the show was better for the smaller budget that they would have had to work but at the same time tho the action in this show was alot more emotional as we only have to follow two characters where as in the films we have to follow several characters which can cause it to loose it's emotional impact where as here that's not really the case as we only have to follow to characters and that's really it and while yes the action in the films will always be better and have some really cool moments in them the action in this show was just as good and had just as many cool moments in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show is ten times better then both season of Velma was as this show respects not only it's characters and there legacy and history but it also respects it's audience as well by giving them something that's actually good and something that they actually want to see even if they didn't know at the time all which combine to make this show one that's really worth watching 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 really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Velma TV Series "The Mystery Of Teen Romance" , "The Real Villain" AND "Til Death" SPOILER FILLED Review

Last year there was a show that was bad that people actually watched it just to see how bad it was ad well now the entire second season has been released. It doesn't really need saying just what that show as it's right there in the title of this post but yeah for some strange reason despite the show getting tons of negative review from both fans and critics alike HBO Max still decided to release the entire second season only now instead of releasing two a week like they did with season one they now instead chose to drop all ten episodes of the shows second season and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episodes that hopefully see this dreadful incarnation come to and end with the episodes in question being called simply just "The Mystery Of Teen Romance" , "The Real Villain" and "Til Death" enjoy.

The plot of The Mystery Of Teen Romance is just three weeks after finding out that Fred's mother was the one committing all of the crimes in the first season Velma finds out that now all of the boys are being killed of and sets of to solve yet another mystery where as the plot of The Real Villain is Velma finds some help from a new alley in solving this new mystery and the plot of the Til Death is Velma and the gang go to extreme circumstances to solve this mystery 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 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 really was alot better then the plot of the first season but was still a really weak plot with the plot of this show season being dropped in episodes in favor of more lighthearted plots when they should be focusing on the main plot which really is understandable for episode one but they still do it in episodes nine and ten of the show as well which just doesn't work at all with the plot of this season being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episodes are this shows executive producer Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley and Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones. Also starring in these episodes are Sam Richardson as Norville "Shaggy" Rogers , Constance Wu as Daphne Blake , Russell Peters as Aman Dinkley , Melissa Fumero as Sophie , Sarayu Blue as Diya Dinkley , Jane Lynch as Donna Blake , Wanda Sykes as Linda Blake , Nicole Byer as Blythe Rogers , Gary Cole as Lamont Rogers , Cherry Jones as Victoria Jones and Frank Welker as William Jones.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in these episodes well then in all honesty i 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. As while yes the acting in these episodes is mostly pretty bad it's the acting from the cast members that we all know can deliver a good performance that really does save this season of the show acting wise as they really do deliver some really good performances in these episodes at least in the three episodes that this review is being based of off but with that said the acting in this show really is still painfully bad with the acting in this show not really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes are just so bad that they give none of the cast alot to work with inters of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which really does bring down the overall quality of the acting in these episodes.

Doing the animation for these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio IAM. Now the interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it wasn't all that good as the animation is still just as ugly looking as it was in the first season only now the characters have slightly smoother and more fluid movements to them but that's really it and it's not enough as the designs are very off putting as they look nothing like the original characters with the backgrounds just looking very flat and boring and while the movements are a huge improvement from the last batch of episodes that doesn't stop the overall quality of animation looking really bad.

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

For some strange reason this show decided to introduce The Hex Girls who in the world of this show were an all girl rock band. With Thorn now deciding to open an occult book store with there being no mention of the other girls in the first episode nor in the ninth or tenth episodes of the show and as a result of that is the fact that it's hard to say what happened to the other girls but given that Thorn looks to be in forties it's safe to say that the band broke up for some strange reason which begs the reason why the show decided to introduce one of the three band members when they very easily could have included all three members and not have them change the fact that Thorn is opening an occult book shop heck they even could have kept Thorn's daughter Amber but given how badly they made Thorn look in the first episode of this show maybe it;s for the best that the other two girls weren't included in this show.

As for the actual mystery element of this show just based of off the three episodes that this review is being based of off. The mystery wasn't all that well handled as there are alot of things that are explained in a way that makes us the audience feel dumb for not picking up on them like the fact that they have Daphne and Velma get into an argument in episode nine only to reveal that was part of there plan to capture one of the main villains which doesn't make sense given what they showed us in the episode and alot of the mystery is done in a very similar manner with there being alot of leaps in logic instead of being things that happen naturally which is something that the original series did masterfully and yet for some strange it;s something that this show fails to do when given that it's apart f the Scooby-Doo franchise it's something that should be done as even in alot of the bad Scooby-Doo shows how they got to got to those big reveals at least somewhat made sense.

Even tho the makers of this show said back in season one that they couldn't include Scooby-Doo because why would you want to do a Scooby-Doo show without Scooby-Doo. There was one classic dog that they apparently got the OK to use and that's Scrappy-Doo who does make his debut in this season and just like the 2002 live action movie he's one of the villains with the other main villain being Sophie which again makes no sense given what we know about her character and while it's great that Scrappy is getting at least some love all you have to do is just like as his design in his debut appearance in the shows ninth episode and you know that he's the bad guy because he just looks like a bad guy and even how he acts which could be seen as a parody of the original shows version of the character with even his backstory being a parody of how the character was created it's still not enough to fool us the audience into thinking that he's not the bad guy as alot of the time he acts like a villain and not like someone that's trying to fool our main characters into thinking that he's not the main villain of this season.

Now the all pf these episode has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then twenty six minuets. With episode one having a grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and forty seconds and episode nine has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty four minuets and six seconds and episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and thirty seven seconds with it being episode one that has the better running time out of all three episodes as that's the episode that really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time as both episodes nine and ten shove the main plotline to the side for alot of the episodes in favor of doing a more lighthearted plotline and yet episode one dedicates almost it's entire running time to the mystery and when episodes nine and ten do that they work and flow together really well as well but I will admit that these episodes really do have some really good pacing to all of them tho.

So now then as this is a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really bad. As the show doesn't have any funny moments in these three episodes barring one moment in episode one where Velma is texting Shaggy this long message only to delete it and re-write it with the message then saying just to ring her now which really was the only joke that was decently funny with the rest of the jokes in these three episodes really falling flat which seems to be a very common trend with this show as really everything about this show from it's plot to it's acting to it's animation to it's comedy ad yes even it's mystery just falls really flat with very little of the comedy in these three episodes working and even fewer really managing to get a smile out of anyone who watches this show as the comedy in these episode really just that bad and really isn't all that funny at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall while these three episodes are better then alot of the episodes in the first season it's not enough to save this show which just every degree is bad and needs to be cancelled so that it can be replaced with something from Scooby-Doo that's actually good but only time well tell if this show will be cancelled which really does need to be the case 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 review and as such all three of these very episodes earn themselves a grand old combined score of a 2.5 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 girl;s and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review form 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 fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Two Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

It's not uncommon for films to do a two part infact it's very quickly becoming a more common thing to witness. However this film is is doing something that really hasn't been done before now and that's tell one story over the course of three films all set to be released within the exact same year and well part two of this truly epic has just been released and since we have a tradition of reviewing these direct to DVD animated DC movies on the first day that they come out you all just knew that I had to review this film the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that was released only a few months after the release of part one with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Two" enjoy.

The plot of this film is the Justice League continue to fight back against the destruction of every single universe while a new threat lurks in the shadows. 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 the plot of this film wasn't all that good either as it was a rather thinly drawn out plot with it at times being hard to work out what the plot of the film even but this is something that does make sense as this story is being told over multiple films and yet at the same time you still need a strong plot in all three films to fully justify this story being told over the course of three films with the plot of this film being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Darren Criss as Clark Kent / Superman. Also starring in this film is Meg Donnelly as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl / Harbinger , Stana Katic as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Superwoman , Jonathan Adams as Monitor , Gideon Adlon as Batgirl , Geoffrey Arend as Charles Halstead / Psycho Pirate and Hawkman , Troy Baker as Joker , Zach Callison as Dick Grayson / Robin , Darin De Paul as Solovar , Ato Essandoh as Mr. Terrific and Anti-Monitor , Keith Ferguson as Dr. Fate and Atomic Knight , Boy Meets World star Will Friedle as Kamandi , Jennifer Hale as Alura and Hippolyta , Aldis Hodge as John Stewart / Green Lantern , Jamie Gray Hyder as Hawkgirl , Erika Ishii as Dr. Hoshi / Doctor Light and Huntress , David Kaye as The Question and Satellite , Matt Lanter as Blue Beetle , Liam McIntyre as Aquaman , Lou Diamond Phillips as The Spectre , Keesha Sharp as Vixen , Harry Shum Jr. as Brainiac 5 and Jimmi Simpson as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow.

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. With the actors that you expect a god performance from really delivering exactly that with the likes of Jensen Ackles for example making for a surprisingly good Batman and while he might never become THE voice of Batman he still does deliver some really wonderful performances in all of the films that he voices the character with the same thing also being true for this film as well and while alot of the cast aren't that good with the likes of Meg Donnelly just being there not that's not really her fault as she doesn't get the chance to do alot as Supergirl with the acting in this film not really being helped by the fact that the script for this film is really bad as it gives the actors nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place and that is something that really does bring down the overall quality of the acting in this film.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Maven Image Platform , Studio IAM. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad however this film suffers from what all of the animation in the Tomorrowverse films suffer from and that's the fact that the lines are so distracting and while that might be this worlds art style that doesn't mean that it couldn't have been tweaked as it very easily could have done but when the film does have some really good animation you really do notice it as the animation in this film isn't up to the high standards of the other direct to DVD DC Comics animated films but it still has alot of really good animation in this film.

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

There are technically two names that I left of the cast list that is the fact that Will Friedle is technically playing two roles as he's also reprising his role as Batman Beyond and we also have Matt Ryan as John Constantine. With both characters having pretty big roles in this film which does make sense given how popular there characters are and while we are revisiting the Batman Beyond world in part three it would be nice to revisit the world of John Constantine from the previous animated universe as that universe just came to an end with none of the characters apart from John having a satisfying ending and a revisit to that world would allow that to happen but at the same time that would then run the risk of this film becoming overstuffed with cameos from other versions of characters from other media and as a result of that is the fact that the makers of this film do have to pick ad choose which characters they have appear in this film as they have to service the story and not just be there for fan service.

For some reason these direct to DVD DC Comics animated movies seem to thing that they can only do one story with Batman and thats the fact that he thinks that he has to act alone only to learn that isn't the case. Which is a story that we've seen played out so many times that you know where it's going the second they start this plot line of and it goes exactly where you think that it's going to go but he got treated better then Supergirl who had so little to do in this film as for the vast majority of the films second and third act she just straight up disappears from the film this is despite the fact that they actually start of what could be an interesting plot line with her with her trying to find a new Earth to live on after the events of the first film but the film very rarely comes back to the character and when it does it drops that story all together in favor of having her trying and failing to help up Monitor which just isn't all that interesting of a plot line.

The idea of turning this truly iconic comic book storyline into a three part film is a good idea but at the same time the film needs to justify being a three part film. Which it really doesn't do as alot of the stuff that's in this film just felt like filler as they add nothing to the overall plot of the trilogy of films with this film film just being a feature length trailer for the third film when it really should have been the next chapter in the story with this film having the heroes loose instead of ending the film like they might loose which is a solid cliffhanger but at the same time given how dramatic this storyline is the heroes needed to loose in this film so that when they do win in the next film it's all the more satisfying because it's something that feels earned where as the ending for the third film where they do win now doesn't feel earned as the heroes haven't suffered all that much as a group whereas if you compare it to the Arrowverse version of the story they put there heroes through alot and as a result of that is that when it came to the final part of there take of the story it was all the more satisfying because of the fact that we the audience have seen these characters go through alot to pick up the win for once and for all and that's not we get in this film as in this film the heroes do kind of win by the end of the film when they really should have lost in this film just like they did in the previous film as well.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty four minuets and forty four seconds. Which is a solid running time for this film to have as this film really does have more then enough plot there to really cover that large amount of running time but yet at the exact same time tho alot of this film really does feel alot like filler as alot of it doesn't add anything to the plot of the film when this is something that shouldn't be the case as the film has alot of plot to begin with as it has all of the plot from the previous film and as a result of that is the fact all the makers of this film really had to do is just add to what they already set up in the previous film and not take away anything nor just not advance anything that was all ready set up in the previous films plot as all that does is make the makers of this film look lazy but I will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a 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 not that bad. Which really is nothing new for these Tomorrowverse films as pretty much all of them have had some really good action in them and while we don't really get a big final battle with all of the characters what we do get for a final fight does work out really well as we get alot of really cool moments in them with even getting to see Robin fighting the Tomorrowverse version of Batman which is a cool thing to see as that's something that hasn't been seen in these animated films until now and rather rightfully it is a wonderfully epic thing to see as is seeing alot of the characters team up to take on a big monster that is trying to blow up the earth that they are on which adds some drama leading into the final part of this trilogy of films as well as just looking really cool in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall this film feels like it was only made just to extend the story to three films as this film really didn't need to exist and as a result that does make it hard to recommend as on the one hand there's no reason to watch this film but on the other hand if you don't watch this film then it makes watching the third film hard as there's really a chance that people might be lost if they didn't watch this film as well as the first film 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 film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for whee I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the great Google Images simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode and are really of course on Google Images are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
