Game Of Thrones ""The Bells"" Review

 



Game Of Thrones fans we are now just a few very short days away from the premier of House Of The Dragon. As such I thought that it was only right that I take a look at an episode from the very much hated final season of Game Of Thrones and well i've chosen to review one of the actually good episodes from this final season and so then join as I review the episode that should have been the final episode of Game Of Thrones with the episode in question being called simply just "The Bells" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Dany and Cersei make choices that will affect the rest of the characters in this show. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being very well written and being quite engaging and entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is Peter Dinklage as Lord Tyrion Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister. Also starring in this episode is Lena Headey as Queen Cersei Lannister , Emilia Clarke as Queen Daenerys Targaryen , Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Maisie Williams as Arya Stark , Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth , Conleth Hill as Lord Varys , Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane , Jacob Anderson as Commander Grey Worm , Pilou Asbæk as King Euron Greyjoy , Anton Lesser as Qyburn , Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson as Ser Gregor Clegane , Laura Elphinstone as Nora and Marc Rissmann as Captain Harry Strickland.

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 for Game Of Thrones isn't a new thing as this show even in it's bad episodes or in this case bad seasons had always had some really good acting within it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Doing the CGI for this episode is Karakter Design Studio , Scanline VFX , Weta Digital , Image Engine Design , Pixomondo , Soho VFX , Important Looking Pirates , Atomic Arts , SSVFX , El Ranchito , Clearcut FX , Yellowmoon and Cadence Effects. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode CGI being very impressive indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



It was while I was watching this episode for the purpose of this review that I came up with a way that would "fix" Dany turning to the dark side and you wouldn't have to go back that far either since all you'd have to do is just go back to episode three of this season and that's it. Dany hinges on her loosing people that she loves and who is she in love with Jon Snow so what if both Jon and Ser Jorah Mormont died fighting the army of the dead since Jon is who she is in love with and Ser Jorah Mormont has been kind of like a father figure to her and so when we get to episode four and she looses someone who was basically her mother figure this would make her turn feel all the more naturel and possibly even organic in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

To me this battle should have been in the final episode since the last few seasons had been building up to a confrontation between Dany and Cersei and so then making this confrontation happen in episode five feels like a disservice. Since this is confrontation that is worthy of happening in the final episode and if you did have this battle take place in the final episode then you'd have alot more time to either wrap up other characters story arcs and to advance other characters story arcs in a more naturel and organic way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


To me this episode has what episode three should have had and that's shocking main character deaths which was something that was very sorely missing from episode three. Which is a shame because episode three had the perfect set up for it to happen where as in this episode they had to destroy a character just to get main characters to die which is a shame because the deaths that we do get in this episode are very fitting for each of the characters and are indeed some very socking deaths indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes exact grand total running time even was I do know that this episode has / had a rough running time of roughly one hour eighteen minuets. Which does make it one of the more longer episodes in this shows history and to this episodes credit it really does need a long running time in order to do this plot any kind of justice but at the same time it really doesn't need to be the length of a feature length film tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Since the episodes action is the highlight of the episode to me and indeed it actually does take up the vast majority of this episodes running time and so then it only makes sense that this episode would have some really good action within it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall very sadly this episode is the last good episode of this final season since we all know how bad the very next episode is and this is very good episode that should have been the final episode of this show 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 erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Game Of Thrones "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" Review



Ladies and gentlemen it's been around about five months since I last talked about anything to do with Game Of Thrones and well I in all honesty felt like talking about an episode from Game Of Thrones. However instead of talking about an episode from an actually good season of Game Of Thrones I thought i'd talk about an episode from the worst season of Game Of Thrones and so join me as I review the episode that is called simply just "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the denizens currently at Winterfell have just a few short hours in order to prepare for the literal fight of their lives. Plot wise I really do feel that this episode had a strong and yet simply / simplistic plot since all the plot of this episode is is just showing characters the day of a battle and nothing more then that and in this regard I really do feel that the plot of this episode was indeed really freaking good but at the same time I would have liked it if the plot of this episode was a bit more complex instead of being rather freaking simply in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Peter Dinklage as Lord Tyrion Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister. Also starring in this episode is Emilia Clarke as Queen Daenerys Targaryen , Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Sophie Turner as Lady Sansa Stark , Maisie Williams as Arya Stark , Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth , Nathalie Emmanuel as Missandei , Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy , Joe Dempsie as Gendry , Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark , John Bradley as Samwell Tarly , Hannah Murray as Gilly , Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth , Conleth Hill as Varys , Rory McCann as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane , Kristofer Hivju as Tormund , Jacob Anderson as Commander Grey Worm and Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode. Was as per-usual when it comes to Game Of Thrones the acting that's in this very episode was very good indeed with every single actors and actress that's appearing in this very episode truly giving it their all and truly bringing their A game in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then here is where  would normally talk about the CGI that's in this episode and as well as list who did the CGI for this episode. However this episode had very little to no CGI within it whatsoever and so instead i'll just talk about the Dany and Sansa because that scene so freaking awesome it was really interesting seeing these two genuinely strong female characters go head to head with each other in a war of words and seeing Dany kind of get the upper hand was just the icing on the cake for me personally in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I in all honesty wasn't expecting there to be a call back to when Jaime and Bran first met each other and I was even more shocked to see that there was nothing that payed that scene off. Since Jaime is quite clearly looking for redemption and Bran perhaps even without knowing it kind of doesn't give it to him but perhaps that's that's the point because right now both men are fighting in a war that's bigger then the both of them combined and as such having Bran accept Jamie's apology would just seem out of place especially given where Bran is as a character right now and what kind of a character Bran has become in my opinion anyways /at least.

To me the whole idea behind this episode is indeed a really good idea indeed since it would have been very super easy to just jump into the war with this episode but the very fact that this episode actually takes the time to give us an idea as to what each of the characters are thinking. To me at least makes this war feel all the more epic since there are now alot more added in terms of stakes and that makes the battle all the more epic and awesome in my opinion anyways / at least.


So now then this episode also kind of brings Brienne's storyline to a close since this is the episode in which we see become an official knight of Westeros. I have to admit that I really did like the scene where Jaime finally knights Brienne since it was something that the character of Brienne has truly wanted and so it also was a great way to show us how far Jaime has grown and matured and developed as a character in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets exactly and well if i'm being well and truly and very freaking honesty here people this episode had the right amount of running time in my opinion anyways / at least. Since there's only so long that a story like this can last and well this episode lasted the right amount of time and so the story didn't start to get boring for me personally and in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then since there is no action in this episode I would therefor like to talk about the ending simply because i just dont like how this episode ends. This is simply because this episode stretches out the ending whereas I personally would have ended this episode with Jon and Dany still in the crypts and they still here the war horn and then they turn there heads and then i'd cut straight to the ending credits with the actual ending of this episode being served as the cold open for episode this way you get to end the episode right as the battle is about to commence and then the next episode can be just about the battle and nothing else which for me personally is a great way to end this very e/ exact episode in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall out of all of the episode that are in Game Of Thrones season eight this is perhaps one of if not the best episode from Game Of Thrones simply because it gives us the chance to see what these characters are like the day before or in this case the day of a battle which was honestly a really interesting thing to see in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode gets 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 Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my referred website to use for images from this episode being the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page just simply due to not only how images there are from this particular episode but also just simply due to the fact that nearly all of the images from this particular episode are very high definition and as well as being very high quality.

Game Of Thrones "The Long Night" Review

 



Ladies and gentlemen it's been at least two months since I last spoke about anything to do with Game Of Thrones and well as such I thought that now was the right time to make another Game Of Thrones review. This time tho I thought that i'd go with a rather underrated episode from the dreadful season eight and so join me boys and girls as I review the Game Of Thrones season 8 episode that really should have had alot more main character deaths with the episode itself being called simply "The Long Night" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Winterfell finds itself under attack from the army of the dead which is lead of course by the night king and so it's up to our heroes to survive the night and hopefully defeat the night king once and for all or else the night king and his army of the dead will take out the entire world of Westeros. Plot wise I felt that this episode was really good since it was very easy to understand what the plot of the episode was and it really helped the plot of this particular episode was in my opinion at least really well freaking told.


Starring in this particular episode is Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister. Also starring in this particular episode is Emilia Clarke as Queen Daenerys Targaryen , Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Sophie Turner as Lady Sansa Stark , Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth , Carice Van Houten as Melisandre , Nathalie Emmanuel as Missandei , Alfie Allen as Prince Theon Greyjoy , Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark , John Bradley as Samwell Tarly , Hannah Murray as Gilly , Gwendoline Christie as Ser Brienne of Tart , Conleth Hill as Varys , Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane , Kristofer Hivju as Tormund , Joe Dempsie as Gendry , Jacob Anderson as Commander Grey Worm , Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont , Bella Ramsey as Lady Lyanna Mormont , Richard Dormer as Lord Beric Dondarrion and Vladimír Furdík as The Night King.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this episode in all honesty I thought that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular episode was really freaking good. Which given that this is Game Of Thrones and Game Of Thrones always has good acting the fact that this particular episode has good acting isn't new or even close to being shocking but what is new is the fact that there's alot of scenes where there's no dialog and yet you can tell what the characters are thinking just by looking at the actors on the screen and that is something that i've never said before in any of my reviews but it's something that I feel is very true for this particular episode.



Doing the CGI for not only this particular episode but also for the whole of the Game Of Thrones TV series is Karakter Design Studio , Weta Digital , El Ranchito , Image Engine Design , SSVFX , Important Looking Pirates , Atomic Arts , Lola Visual Effects , Clearcut FX , Cadence Effects and Yellowmoon. I don't think that this needs saying at this point since it's true for every single episode of Game Of Thrones but the CGI that's featured / resented to us in this episode is so freaking good and part of what makes the CGI in this particular episode so good is the fact that CGI blends in with the stuff that was filmed for real so well and so there's a hint of realism there like for example when you see a dragon breathe fire this episode will sometimes show how that fire is lighting other parts of Winterfell and that kind of detail / realism is something that you don't really see that much in TV shows and that helps the overall quality of the CGI in this episode but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.


One of the things that really bugged me about this episode is that only a few major characters die which for Game Of Thrones a show which is known for killing major characters isn't a good thing at all in my opinion. Like how cool and shocking would it have been to see Jon Snow get killed or to see someone like Arya get killed either one of those deaths would have made the episode more impactful heck killing of any of the really well known characters would have made this episode seem all the more impactful but nope instead the writers of this particular episode who are David Benioff & D.B. Weiss instead chose to go the safe route and kept all of the really well known / really popular characters save and thus alive.

I had to admit that I really loved Arya in this episode since they pretty much made her like Liam Neesons character from Taken mixed with John Wick. Which is honestly something that really did work for where the character of Arya is at this point in the story since at this point in the story she's become a battle hardened warrior and so she's willing to do anything to keep something that she loves save and that's love and that determination that really keeps her going in this episode but there's a huge chance that i'm simply just looking for something that simply isn't there just like there's a huge chance that i'm looking at something that simply isn't there.


I'm just going to come right out and say it Jon Snow is freaking dumb as a rock in this episode because he knows that The Night King can raise the dead and so what does he do he puts alot of the really important people plus women and children and those who simply cannot fight in a place that's full of dead people. Granted wherever every none fighter and important person was going to put was always going to be unsafe but putting them in a room full of undead people when your fighting against someone who can raise the dead is a pretty freaking dumb move but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls I cannot remember the exact running time for this episode but I do know that this episode is at least one hour and twenty minuets / an hour and twenty minuets long and I have to say that that is the right amount of time for this episode in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion. Since there's so much to cover story wise that you just couldn't do this episode in just under an hour but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.


Now then boys and girls this whole episode is basically one action sequence / action set piece which means that I have to talk about the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode / in the actual episode itself and if i'm being really freaking honest the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode is so freaking good. I honestly think that director Miguel Sapochnik really does know how to direct an action scene since he does a really good job with the action in this episode since the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode is just so cool to see which is something that you always want when your doing alot of action in either a TV show or in a film.


Overall out of the whole of season eight this is one of the better episodes which really isn't saying much because alot of Game Of Thrones fans myself included hate season eight of Game Of Thrones. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both / some of the good things that are in this episode and bot / some of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such this episode gets an 8 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got the images that I used in this review well i personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either Google Images or the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page. With my referred website to use for images from this episode being the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page just simply due to not only how images there are from this particular episode but also just simply due to the fact that nearly all of the images from this particular episode are very high definition and as well as being vert high quality.
