My First Impressions Of The Velma TV Series

 

Scooby-Doo fans the Scooby-Doo franchise has been around since the sixties having spawned dozens of TV shows ad movies. Well we have yet another new TV show featuring the mystery loving gang only this time without Scooby-Doo himself in it and well you all just knew that I had to check this show the very first chance that I got and since HBO Max have just dropped the first two episodes of this show join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that is the first adult animated series of in the Scooby-Doo franchise with the show in question being called simply just "Velma" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when two teenagers are killed it's up to Velma to find out who killed them and why and at the same time unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of her own mother. 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 really bad with the shows plot being laughable at best and just straight up bad at it's worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is the shows executive producer Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley and Constance Wu as Daphne Blake. Also starring in these first two episodes is Sam Richardson as Shaggy Rogers , Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones , Jane Lynch as Donna Blake , Wanda Sykes as Linda Blake , Russell Peters as Aman Dinkley , Melissa Fumero as Sophie , Debby Ryan as Krista , Gary Cole as Lamont Rogers , Cherry Jones as Victoria Jones and Scooby-Doo and voice acting legend 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 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. Granted the acting isn't that good either but it could have been so much more worse then what it actually was and given that we do have some good actors in these first two episodes does mean that we get some decent acting in these first two episodes.

Try as I might I really cannot find out who did the animation for these first two episodes and for the rest of the show. Now then 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 really bad with the animation looking amateurish at best with the animation also being very choppy and is also really very cheap looking as well. 

As I mentioned at the very start of this post this is the first Scooby-Doo TV show not to actually feature Scooby-Doo, This is due to two reasons the first one being a studio mandate not to feature the character in an adult animated series and the second one being the fact that the makers of the show couldn't figure out a way to include the character in a more realistic way both of which are just ridiculous because there's a fan made web series that's an adult version of Scooby-Doo that features Scooby-Doo in a very realistic way so it can be done as for the mandate thing adult animated shows can feature characters from kids animated TV shows and believe it or not the kids could actually tell the difference and no harm was ever done to the brand.

There was no way in heck that I could do this post and not talk about the fact that three of the four mystery inc characters were race swapped. Race swapping a character that has been mostly known as one race for close to fifty years at this point will always be a bad thing and even more so when it happens to multiple characters and so I have wonder if the makers of this show only did it just so that they could claim that if we the audience don't like the show then they could call us every name under the sun because there's no other reason to do it and on top of all of that Velma in this show is literally a self insert since she looks exactly like this shows executive producer and leading voice actress Mindy Kaling. 

I will give this show this it is trying something by being the first fully animated Scooby-Doo project that's aimed squarely at adults. However this show does that in the most stereotypical way possible and that's by including nudity and gore and not and not actually talking about adult themes look at The Simpsons for example which is an adult comedy but it also touches on rather adult themes HBO Max's Harley Quinn is an adult animated show that doesn't use nudity at all and both of those shows have a better understanding of what it means to be an adult animated show then what this show does which is a shame.

Now then these episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets for episode one and twenty five minuets for episode two. Which is the perfect running times for both of these episodes to have since if you stretched this show out to have forty five minuet episodes then you'd be stretching this already pretty thinly drawn out story even thinner and even tho both of these episodes have some good pacing to them they still could have been at the very least five or maybe even ten minuets shorter.

So now then since 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 first two episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty OK at best. Since alot of the jokes that we got in thee first two episodes just fell flat and didn't even get a smile out of me but then the show would hit you with a decent joke out of nowhere in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show is one to avoid for any die hard Scooby-Doo or animation fan since it fails to be good at being a Scooby-Doo product and it's animation is so bad that it will make animation fans angry 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 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 episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

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 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 post being the wonderful the official Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS Review

 

There are two characters that have been in Doctor Who since the very beginning one of them is of course The Doctor. However it's the other character that is the focus of this review since the TARDIS really hasn't had alot of episodes dedicated to it which is a shame because this is The Doctors one and only constant companion and his home and so then join me as I review the episode that promised to show us a deeper look at the TARDIS with the episode in question being called simply just "Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the Tardis is mistaken as scrap The Doctor has to find Clara before hos ship explodes/ Now then in terms 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 as in all honesty rather fun with this episodes plot being really enjoyable for the most part and really entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as The Doctor , Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara Oswald and Hustle star Ashley Walters as Gregor Van Baalen. Also starring in this episode is Mark Oliver as Bram Van Baalen , Jahvel Hall as Tricky Van Baalen , Sarah Louise Madison as A Time Zombie , Ruari Mears as A Time Zombie and regular Doctor Who creature and monster legend actor Paul Kasey as A Time Zombie.

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. Since all of this episodes cast members turn in some really good performances which given that one of them is now on House Of The Dragon that really is kind of given.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at The Mill and Real SFX. 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 episodes CGI being alot better then the GI that we got in many other TV shows from around the same time period.

Show runner and producer Steven Moffat has gone on record as saying that he gave this episode it's concept because of the fact that he was haunted by The Invasion Of Time which has the exact same concept as this episode. However both this episode and The Invasion Of Time have the exact same problem in that the corridors in the TARDIS interior look exactly the same and as such it's hard to tell where one character is when compared to each other and that makes it hard to tell if we should be scared for a character or not since for all we could know they might very well be just around the corner from each other.

Not really helping this episode is the fact that apart from The Doctor and Clara the rest of this episodes cast of characters just aren't that interesting. Since none of them have any interesting plot lines or arcs in this episode and none of them have a personality and as such they just come of as being very note characters and that just makes them a bunch of side characters that aren't that fun to watch and that we as the audience don't really care about because of the fact that we're not really given a reason to care about this episodes side characters.

What I really did love about this episode is the fact that both The Doctor and Clara snap at each other him for failing to figure her out ad her because he's scaring her. This was done beautifully since it was something that was needed at this point in Series 7 since the whole back half of series 7 has been trying to work out why Clara is the impossible girl and yet The Doctor can never figure out why that's the case since she acts and looks human and so when they do blow up at each other in this episode it really does make perfect sense from a character arc point of view as well.

Now then I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was but I do know that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly forty five minuets. Which is really a plus for this episode this episode really doesn't have alot there interms of either plot or story and as such this episode really doesn't need that long of a running time and with this episodes running time it means that every single scene now has to be advancing the plot of the episode and as such we get some really do get some good pacing in this episode.

So now then since there was alot of action in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes action being genuinely quite exciting which is helped by the fat that we've very rarely seen an action scene set within the TARDIS and that makes the action feel all the more exciting and different in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall this episodes complete and total cop out of an ending aside this was a really good episode and i'm surprised that more Doctor Who fans don't talk about this episode all that much since seeing more of TARDIS will always be a very good thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Wikipedia , 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.

Wonder Woman TV Series "The Feminum Mystique" Review

 

When people talk about strong female characters there's always one version of the Wonder Woman character that they never mention. Which is a shame because that's the version of the character that made the character as a whole popular with mainstream audiences and so then join me as I review the episode that saw a member of The Addams Family become a queen with the episode in question being called simply just "The Feminum Mystique" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is Diana's sister comes to America looking to bring her sister home but when she's kidnapped and Paradise Island is attacked it's up to Wonder Woman  to save the day before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being movie quality good because it's that good of a plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in these episodes is Lynda Carter as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Major Steve Trevor. Also starring in this episode is Richard Eastham as General Phil Blankenship , Beatrice Colen as Etta Candy , Debra Winger as Drusilla / Wonder Girl , John Saxon as Captain Radl , Carolyn Jones as The Queen , Charles Frank as Peter Knight , Paul Shenar as Lieutenant Wertz , Kurt Kreuger as Major Hemmschler , Curt Lowens as General Ulrich , Erica Hagen as Dalma , Pamela Shoop as Magda , Kurt Grayson as Harris , Jay Fenichel as Tommy , Brad Rearden as Joey and Rayford Barnes as Lt. Weil.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting 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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With these episodes cast members all turning in some really good performances and all of them making the script for these episodes seems alot better then what it actually is and that will always be a very good thing.

This episode is the shows first ever two part episode with the show very rarely if ever having two part episodes. If there was any episode that needed to be a two parter this one really wasn't it since you very easily could have condensed the storyline of both episodes into the one episode but the fact that it was a two parter means that the story could feel alot more epic then what the standard episode of the show could have done. 

Whilst the version of Wonder Girl that we get in this episode isn't the full creation of the character Drusilla is perhaps the most least known version of the character. Since when people think of Wonder Girl they rather rightfully think of Donner Troy but that doesn't mean that they should ignore this version of the character since Drusilla is naive but at the same time she's more then willing to do what's right even if it means that it will ultimately mean the end of her own life which does make her an oddly compelling character.

This episode does very sadly retcon it's first episode since in that episode it's established that Diana is an only child. Yet for some strange reason she's given a sister with no reason given as to this sudden change and while a small retcon like this isn't that bad the fact that it then leads to the N*zis finding out about Paradise Island the home of our hero the fact that this episode then made a retcon now seems like a big a issue since the enemies could now attack Wonder Woman's whenever they felt bored but sadly they don't do that but to this episodes credit the second part of this story does kind of explain why they don't attack paradise island.

I did notice what might be a mistake in this two parter since in the second part when Drusilla is about to deflect a bullet she puts her arm up way before a single bullet has even been shot. As such the commanding officer could have literally shot anywhere else around her to archive his goal this might be put down to the fact that Drusilla isn't a superhero like her sister but it is a very noticeable mistake and one that could have been fixed even n the day of filming the scene in question since all it does is make the overall show look pretty bad.

Now these episodes has / had an exact grand total combined running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. Which is a great amount if running time for this story to last since even tho this story would have been told if it was just thew single episode the fact that this story was told over two episodes made it feel all the more the epic then just the typical of this show and alot of that is due to the fact that it had roughly a whole extra hour in order to tell it's story which really did help the story flow alot better as well.

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 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good. Even more so when you take into account that this show was made on a small budget and yet all of the action scenes in this episode whilst they are kind of campy are still really cool and impressive to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a rather fun two part episode that was way more epic then what it really should have been and it's an episode that just goes to show you just how good this show was when it was it's best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very review and as such that means that these very episodes earn themselves a grand total combined 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 Wonder Woman 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

Xena: Warrior Princess TV Series "The Bitter Suite" Review

 

Musical episodes of TV shows are a very rare thing to see what's even rarer tho is seeing a good musical episode of a TV show. Heck you could even make the case the case for the episode that i'm about to review for you all today for being the one that made the musical episode as popular as it is today and so then join me as I review the episode that shows us what happens when you push a warrior princess to far with the episode in question being called simply just "The Bitter Suite" enjoy.

The plot of this episode after both suffering massive heartache Xena and Gabrielle blame each other for recent events and find themselves trapped in a land that's rules entirely by emotion. 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' actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good so good infact that out of the two or so episodes of this show that i've seen this episode is the one that has the best plot because that's just how good this episodes plot really is for me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Lucy Lawless as Xena , Renée O'Connor as Gabrielle and Danielle Cormack as Ephiny. Also starring in this episode is Willa O'Neill as Lila , action film megastar Karl Urban as Julius Caesar , The Evil Dead , Evil Dead 2 , Army Of Darkness and Ash Vs. Evil Dead star Ted Raimi as Joxer , the late Kevin Tod Smith as Ares , Hudson Leick as Callisto , Marton Csokas as Khrafstar , Daniel Sing as Ming Tien , David Taylor as Solan.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episode cast turning in some really good performances with all of this episodes cast are quite clearly having fun playing their characters and that is something that really does show through in the performances that we got in this episode.

Try as I might I really cannot find out who did the CGI for this episode which is a shame since I really did like the CGI in this episode. 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 taking into account that this show didn't have a big budget and thus couldn't afford the great looking CGI that we get in TV shows today but even so the CGI in this episode was really good.

What I really liked about this episode is the fact that it pushes this seasons storylines which is something that I think all good musical episodes should do. Since at the end of the day this is still a TV show and as such the seasons storylines still need to be advanced and the way that this episodes handles them and advances them is done in a way that felt totally organic and worked really well for the show and for the shows main cast of characters.

Also helping things is the fact that this episodes really does push the friendship between Xena and Gabrielle to it's limits. To the point where Xena actually tries to kill Gabrielle not once but twice because that's how far their friendship has been pushed and because of that we got alot of great drama out of it and it helps that both actors really do pull those scenes of since without these actors really nailing those scenes the whole episode or even perhaps the whole season really does just fall apart at the seems.

It's sadly not all good tho since the songs that are written by the shows composer Joseph LoDuca , Pamela Phillips Oland and Dennis Spiegel. Where all fairly weak with there not being any standout songs and with the songs that we got in this episode being at the very best OK and terrible at it's worst which is shame because thew singing for all of the songs was really good the bad songs wouldn't be that much of an issue if it wasn't for the fact that lot of this episode is done is song which does nothing more then make the issue of the bad songs seem really all of the more worse.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and seventeen seconds. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for this show and to this episodes credit this episode really does make the absolutely most of it's running time with every single scene and song in this episode being all about advancing the plot of the episode which meant that the episode had some really good pacing since the episode didn't feel like it was going by to fast nor to slow.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since the action that we got in this episode was nothing more then campy fun that was filled to the brim with cool moments in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall I can see why this episode is as popular as it was but at the same time just because it's a popular episode doesn't mean that it's an episode that's faultless since there some issues in this episode 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 earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 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 ad gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review from the official Hercules and Xena fandom wiki page , the official Buffy The Vampire Slayer 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who Am I Film Review

 

I make it no secret that i'm a huge Doctor Who fan and o when I heard that the franchise was spawning it's very first ever documentary. You can bet that I was going to check it the very first chance and well then now is the first chance that i've had to check out this film and I have to say that it is so so worth checking out and so then join me as I review that sees a writer get reacquainted with a fanbase that once hated him with the film in question being called simply just "Doctor Who Am I" enjoy.

The plot of he film is writer of the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie Matthew Jacobs goes on a journey to find himself in the American Doctor Who fandom the very same fandom that almost turned there backs on him all the way back in 1996. 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 really good with the films story being a very touching one and one that I thought to be very well told as well as being quite entertaining and rather moving at times as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is this films co-director and producer Matthew Jacobs and this films co-director , editor and producer Vanessa Yuille. Also starring in this film is Daphne Ashbrook , Nicholas Briggs , May Charters , Ken Deep , Carl Zohan , Cat Hyaesia , Paul McGann , Eliza Roberts the man who won't say no to literally any film Eric Roberts , Paul Salamoff and the producer of the Doctor Who 1996 TV movie Philip David Segal.

As for what I personally thought / felt about all of the interviews that are featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that all of the interviews that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film were pretty repetitive. Since alot of the people who are being interviewed just hit upon the same points which does get a bit repetitive and boring after I while.

This film does feature alot of the cast and crew that worked on the film and alot of them do seem like really nice people. Which for the most part was something that I expected to be the case altho I have to admit that I had no idea that Eric Roberts was also a nice person since he always came across as being a bit of jerk to me and so then seeing that he was a genuinely nice person was a nice and very welcome surprise I only wish that they got more crew members from the film to appear in this film since it would have been nice to see what the director of the 1996 film has to say about the film all of these many years later.

This film could have focused on the making of the film and putting the 1996 film in a new context by explaining how the things that people didn't like about that film are now present and liked in the show. However this film doesn't do that at least not all the time which is a shame because when it does do that that's when the film gets to be really interesting sadly all we are left with is a film is a film where it's main star essentially goes across America meeting fans and there's only so much that you can show that before it starts to get boring and that is something that very sadly does happen quite alot in this very film.

For some reason this film makes the American Doctor Who fanbase seem like angels and gives no love to other Doctor Who fans at all. This does somewhat make sense since Matthew Jacobs is based in America and so it does make sense that this film would focus alot on the American Doctor Who fanbase but at the same time tho without thew British Doctor Who fanbase there would be no Doctor Who to speak of and yet this film goes out of it's way to dis the British Doctor Who fans which is something that just truly irked me.

I really do like that this film presents the Doctor Who fandom as kind of like one big happy family which is true. Since out of all the fandoms out there the Doctor Who fandom is one of the most excepting and welcoming ones out there and the fact that this film presented that to us just goes to show that the makers of this really do understand the Doctor Who fandom and that is something that I will always be grateful for.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty minuets and fifty seven seconds. Which I felt was a tad bit on the long side on this film to last since alot of the films interviews are just repeating the exact same points and as such that makes the film feel alot more boring then what it actually is but at the same time it's having that long of a running time that allows the film to reach the heartwarming moments that this film reaches which just wouldn't be possible if the film was shorter then what it actually is.

So now then since this film is basically a drama that means that I have to actually talk about the actual drama 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 drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty handled very well. With this films drama leading us to some very heartwarming moments all of which help make the film be alot more touching then what I perhaps could or perhaps even really should have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is a must watch for any die hard Doctor Who fan since even tho it doesn't give us any new information about the 1996 film it does paint the Doctor Who fandom in a rather great light and that will always be a good thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his 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 Wikipedia , 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.

My Own Personal Top 5 WORST And Top 5 BEST Films Of 2022

 

Film fans it's that time of the year of the again where I talk about what where my own personal top 5 worst and top 5 best films of the year. The bog standard rules apply here which are the films have to have a UK release date of 2022 and I have to have seen them since I can't count them if I haven't seen them and if your own personal favorite or least favorite film didn't make either just assume that it's in at number 6.

WORST

5) Black Adam

This is something that I thought long and hard about but i only put this film here because of how underwhelming the film is. Since this film had the potential to be one of the coolest DCEU films out there and yet for one reason or another it just failed to deliver the performances are fine but the film fails on every other aspect the film even failing to do justice to it's titular character turning him from a cool as heck bad guy to anti-hero for literally no reason at all.

Of course the reason James Gunn drama really doesn't help things either since this now means that this film s officially the last film to star a certain actor as a certain caped character. However given that this character only appears in one scene it was just hype for the sake of hype and while the film being this low down on the worst list is indeed a good thing since it means that it can be improved upon very easily it shouldn't have been on the worst lost at all just simply due to who is involved with making the film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

4) Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022

The first of a few horror films to be featured in this post and while this year has been a shockingly good year for the genre as a whole. The same thing cannot be said for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise with this new legacy sequel being a direct sequel to the original that aims to capture the magic of Halloween 2018 however what made Halloween 2018 work is the fact that it managed to get original stars from the original film back where as this film simply cannot do that.

Not really helping things is the fact the character of Sally Hardesty in this film acts more like a glorified cameo. Instead of an actual character and when she is on screen she's acting so unlike Sally that it's hard to buy that these two characters are one in the same and when you add in the fact that this films main characters the people that we are supposed to root for are just unlikable as all heck it leaves with you with a film where the only likable character is the villain of the film and regardless of if your watching a horror film or not you should never ever want to be cheering for the villain as you should always want to be cheering for the heroes of the film.

3) Morbius

Memes and jokes aside this film like Black Adam is a waste of a really cool idea and a really cool character. However unlike Black Adam the cast of Morbius seem to be self a where enough to know that what they've made is a really bad with star Jared Leto even getting in the fun post release heck the only company who wasn't a where that this was a bad film was Sony Pictures who decided to re-release the film when the memes and jokes about this film where at it's peak.

Being fully a where that the film your making is a bad film isn't a bad move since it can show that your willing to have some fun with the movie going audience. However it still doesn't hide from the fact that the film that you've made is a bad film since this films villain is really badly written , the acting is OK at best and the less about the after credits scene and the writing of this film the better since this film fails on all of those things and then some.

2) Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore

The only reason as to why this film isn't at the number one spot on this is the fact that there shockingly is a film that's worse then this one. Since this film is just straight up bad at least with Morbius the film is so bad that it's almost good this film isn't even that since the so called secret of Dumbledore is one that's been known for quite literally decades at this point and even then Dumbledore's secret doesn't play apart in the final film it's literally just there for the sake of having a cool sounding title and that's really it.

Of course not really helping things for this film was the whole Jonny Depp debacle which i'm not going to discuss here. However I will sat that actor Mads Mikkelsen does do a good job as this films leading villain Gellert Grindelwald but with that said all of the actors are let down by a script that feels like it never made it past the first draft stage I could forgive the script for the film being bad because it's was J.K. Rowling's first time writing a screenplay but we are now three films into this new series and she's shown no signs of improving the script and when the script just isn't that good it doesn't matter how good the acting or the special effects are because the film has failed at being good at even the most basic of levels and i'm a Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling fan.

1) The Munsters 2022

I will admit that picking the number one for both the worst and best films of the year was incredibly tough this year. However what makes this film worse then Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore is the fact that this films characters aren't The Munsters at all they are only those characters in name only with the characters acting so far out of character that you could call them quite literally anything else and it work.

Not really helping this film at all is the fact that this film looks incredibly cheap which really shouldn't have been the case at all. Since this film cost a good few million to make and we don't see any of that budget on screen and when you add in the fact that the acting is just flat out bad and the fact that the film just ends with no resolution to what little story it has it's now obvious as to why this film is my top pick for the worst film of the year.

BEST

5) Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers

We re now finally out of the worst films of the year and well what better to start of this half of the post then the film that not alot of people had hope for. Since when you think of a live action adaptation of a cartoon you don't usually think of a good movie and yet this one movie blew away people expectations by not only being a good movie but also in doing something new and different and giving us something that we didn't know that we wanted.

What really made this film standout to not only me but alot of people wasn't the references altho that play a huge part of it but the fact that the film was very well written. With this film having a good script that is well paced out an jokes that are not only smart but work on different levels with kids getting certain jokes and adults getting certain jokes as well and heck this one film makes me want to see what other Disney Afternoon shows could get this kind of treatment since it would be pretty funny to see a TailSpin movie done in the style of this film.

4) Bodies Bodies Bodies

To say that this film was great for not only horror films but also for A24 would be like saying Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was bad. However I feel like there's one film that everybody overlooks or just straight up doesn't talk about when they mention A24 or the good horror movies that came out this year and that's a shame because this film is such a well written satire on today's culture which is ready to "cancel" anybody over anything and that was something that I really did love about this film.

This film really did catch me of guard with how good it was just because the poster and the original synopsis really did make this movie sound terrible. Yet when I watched the movie I was not only on board with it's likable main character but I was also laughing alot at it's satire and it's jokes because they were very well written jokes and the satire was very well written and for a horror film the kills were not only good but when you take into account this films kind of twist ending the kills in this film come of as being kind of funny as well which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case at all and yet it works out really well for this film.

3) Wendell & Wild 

It's always going to be a good time when director Henry Selick makes a new movie and the same thing is true for this film, Which while this film isn't as good as say Coraline or even The Nightmare Before Christmas for example it's a good film that is really well animated while I do wish that the film was a little bit scarier especially given the fact that this film was released just before Halloween and is a child friendly horror film I really do think that this should have been alot more scarier then what it actually was.

I will very much admit that out of the three Netflix animated films that I saw this year Wendell & Wild is the worse of the two of three you'll understand why when you see what one of the number pucks is. That's not to say that this is a bad film tho because it's not since this is very thoroughly entertaining film that tells some good jokes whilst being a pretty grown film that deals with alot of grown themes and it handles those themes in a way that makes it feel like that there not dumbing those themes down for it's young target audience.

2) Avatar: The Way Of Water

This film is the most recent film to be featured on this post and while this film is indeed a good film it's also that has alot of problems. Those problems don't really stop this film from being one of the best films of this year since this film is still a very well made film with a good sometimes even great script and CGI effects that are just a treat to look at and that I fully expect Corridor Crew to be doing a full CGI Artists React episode on at sometime in 2023.

For me this films biggest issue is the fact that it spends alot of time setting up the over sequels instead of being it's own thing. Which in this case doesn't work well enough to this films advantage since it makes this film feel like a three hour trailer for Avatar 3 which is a shame because when this film does something that's genuinely great it is really good and this film for the most part is also a rather entertaining film as well it's just ashame that there FIVE films that beat it to my number one spot this year.

1) X , Pearl , Scream 2022 ,  Everything Everywhere All At Once And Netflix's Pinocchio

I'm not kidding when I say that choosing just one film to be my pick for my best film of 2022 because truth be told any of the films that I mentioned on this best of list could have quite easily have taken that spot. With all five films being incredibly beautiful in there own unique way and all five of these films deserve all of the love and attention that they got upon release because that's just how good all five of these films where for me personally.

Really helping things along is the fact that all five of these films put alot of care into there characters with all of there characters not only being very well written but also being very likable. Yes even the villains in these films come across as being likable characters with motives that whilst they don't make want to root for them you do oddly enough want to see them succeed and this makes them seem all the more complicated and complex and since a hero is only as good ad there villain that makes the heroes of all of these films come across as being well written and likable as well since they have a clear goal to archive as for why The Batman wasn't included on this list aside from the fact that I just straight up forgot about that movie that would have been a bit of cliche at this point but yes even that film just like all five of these number one films is a really great film and all of the films on this best of list are all really worth watching as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys an girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page , the official The Texas Chainsaw Massacre fandom wiki page , the official Sony's Spider-Man fandom wiki page , the official Harry Potter fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Avatar fandom wiki page , the official Scream fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from these very / particular / exact film being all of the official fandom wiki pages since alot of the images that are from these very films and that are currently still indeed up on all of the official fandom wiki pages are all really fairly freaking high in quality and as well as all of them being really fairly freaking high in definition Happy New Year everybody.
