Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV Series "The Incredible Shrinking Turtles" Review

 


We are now just about a week away from the release of the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and well I thought now would be a great time to produce a tie in review. However I will admit that I had a hard time figuring out what the tie in the review should be based on as I already did a Punk Frogs episode back when the film it's very first trailer and poster but I think I found a solid episode to review and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces aliens to the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the episode in question being called simply just "The Incredible Shrinking Turtles" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when an Alien crash lands on Earth infront of the turtles he entrusts the turtles to find three pieces of a device only for the turtles to get shrunk by Shredder so now the turtles have to find away to regain their size and find the pieces of this device before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as this episodes plot wasn't all tat good either while it was very entertaining it was also a rather thinly drawn out plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Barry Gordon as Donatello , Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Alien Pilot and Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo. Also starring in this episode is legendary voice actor Rob Paulsen as Raphael , Peter Renaday as Splinter , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil , Pat Fraley as Burne Thompson , Baxter Stockman and Krang and the late James Avery as The Shredder and as The Empire State Building security Guard.

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' actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with the cast turning in some good performances. However this episodes script just isn't that good and it doesn't give the cast a whole lot to work with and so the cast really just can't turn in all that good of a performance as the episodes script just really won't allow for it as it really is just that bad of a script.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at A-1 Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode being really good with their being next to no animation errors and just being of a very high quality.


There was one error that I did notice and rewind the episode back to hear because it was super funny to me and that's the fact that when The Shredder gives attacks Raphael you can quite clearly hear a girl moaning. Which to me was just so strange and bizarre that I couldn't help but laugh at it and plus it makes you wonder how this one tiny audio error made it past all the executives just because it's so obviously not Raphael's regular voice and is quite clearly a woman moaning and so I have to wonder if the makers of the show new that it was in there but kept it in as like a hidden easter egg or if an editor put it in as a joke and no one just caught on to it and so they just left in the episode.

I might be wrong but apart from Krang this is the first time we get to see aliens in the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Which i'm in two minds since having aliens exist in this world does make sense as this is a more campy adaptation but at the same time since I don't think they out right say that Krang is an alien it seems out of place that they would suddenly introduce them and then have the only alien that they introduce die in just a few minuets after he debuted in the show granted his purpose was to introduce and set u the main story arc for the season but at the same time it's something that really should have been handled alot better then what it really actually was.  


For some reason they sideline the turtles for alot of this episodes running time which makes no sense as they key to the plot of the episode. Instead we get to spend alot of this episodes second half with Splinter and April just driving the turtle van to find The Shredder which isn't as exciting as it would have been seeing the turtles trying to survive New York City as really tiny turtles which would have made the episode not only all the more funnier bu also the more exciting and thrilling as well as now the turtles would also be in constant danger.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and seventeen seconds. Which is the bog standard running time for this show and to this episodes credit it does have more then enough story to cover that running time but at the same time this is a plot line that really could have been a two or maybe even three part episode and just by having it as a single episode means that any potential that this episode had gets wasted because it has to rush along to the next plot point but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it tho with the episode really just flying right on by.


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 altho for some strange reason the only action sequence that we get with the turtles sees them getting very easily beat up by The Shredder and the episodes only other action scene has Splinter taking on The Shredder which just isn't as fun to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode was one that had alot of potential to be a really fun episode and while this episode can be fun at times it's also one that has alot of really weird and odd creative choices that bring the episode down in quality 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 mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

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

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Reptilicus" Review

 


With Futurama successfully returning it got me thinking of another TV show that just a few short years ago made it's grand return. I have to admit that doing these reviews has made me fall in love with Mystery Science Theater 3000 so much so that I listen to the theme song whenever I can and so then join me as I review the episode that saw the debut of a new host with the episode in question being called simply just "Reptilicus" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when pilot Jonah Heston goes to answer a distress call he finds himself caught up in a trap. 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 not only being very entertaining but also being very excess able for new of this truly iconic cult classic as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is this episodes co-writer Jonah Ray as Jonah Heston and this episodes co-writer Hampton Yount as The Voice Of Crow T. Robot. Also starring in this episode is this episodes co-writer Baron Vaughn as The Voice Of Tom Servo , Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max , Rebecca Hanson as The Voice Of Gypsy / Synthia , Tim Ryder as Bonehead 1 , Zach Thompson as Bonehead 2 , this episodes director and co-writer Joel Hodgson as Ardy , Erin Gray as Martha Masters and Wil Wheaton as Drake.

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 the cast members turning in some rather solid performances which for a show like this one couldn't be an easy job and yet not only do they manage to keep on pulling it of they also manage to so effortlessly.



As was to be expected this show did make alot of changes with a few of those changes being to the character of Gypsy. As in the original show the character only moved along the floor where as now she mainly operates in the air with the show giving an in story reason for this addition to the character but she's not the only one to get an upgrade as the also add a hover mode for Tom and a new design for the satellite of love as well with the character of Crow not really being changed at all which does make sense as there's nothing that they could really change about this character and yes they explain away Gypsy's new voice as well.



As mentioned as the start of this review this is the episode that saw the debut of Jonah Ray as new host Jonah Heston. I know that this character doesn't get alot of love from the die hard fans of this show but as someone who only started watching this show back in 2017 I really don't mind him as he is quite a funny character and while Jonah Ray doesn't seem that comfortable in the role in this episode that's understandable as he is the shows first new host since the show went of the air in the late nineties and he does get better in later episodes.

There are somethings that I didn't like about this episode tho and that's the fact that they take far to long just setting up who Jonah Heston is and not enough time setting up the other characters. To put this into perspective in the original series all Joel had was the shows opening intro and that's it and Mike got a few lines of dialog that were played for laughs in a few short scenes and yet they still managed to put across who they are as characters here we send quite a few minuets with people telling us all about Jonah and just not enough time really setting up the shows main villains.


For some reason instead of giving us some great information about the movie that there going to be watching. They instead just dive right into the movie which is something that was very rarely if ever done in the original show which is a shame because they could have made the movie sound all the more insane just by the information that they could have given us about the movie and that in turn could have gotten more people to check out this really obscure movie and while just diving right into the movie is great for jokes it doesn't really do a good job of building the movie up and just explaining just how bad this movie is at all.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and twelve seconds. Which is pretty much the exact running time for this show and this episode could have done with being just a few minuets longer just so they could have had some longer host segments which just seem to go by far to quickly and that could allow you to give some screen time to the over characters as well but I will very gladly admit that this episode does have some good pacing to it.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the show making some really good jokes about the Reptilicus movie alot of which are not only funny but are painfully funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really good with the special effects looking cheap but in a campy way with this episode being a great return for a classic and cult series that still holds up all these later in my freaking opinions 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 very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys 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 Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the every so truly wonderful the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page and since that all of the images that are currently up and and on the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Futurama "The Impossible Stream" Review

 


There are so few shows out there that come back from being cancelled even fewer that come back from being cancelled two or more times. Well one of those shows is now back once again with new episodes which does make this show one of the very few shows that are the little shows that could as no matter how many times they get knocked down they just keep on coming back for more and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the Planet Express crew tackle the world of streaming with the episode in question being called simply just "The Impossible Stream" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after realizing he's been in the future for ten years and doesn't have a life goal Fry sets about watching every TV show ever made. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being really enjoyable and really ridiculous but in a good way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is the great Billy West as Philip J. Fry , Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth and Dr. John A. Zoidberg. Also starring in this episode is the great Katey Sagal as Turanga Leela , the great John DiMaggio as Bender Bending Rodriguez , the great Phil LaMarr as Hermes Conrad , Lauren Tom as Amy Wong , the great Maurice LaMarche as The Scary Mirror Narrator , Calculon and Morbo , the great Tress MacNeille as Smiri and Linda Van Schoonhoven , David Herman as Scruffy and the great Dan Castellaneta as Robot Devil.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured /  presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which isn't all the surprising given that alot of this episodes cast members have been playing these characters since 1999 and so they would of course turn in a good performance as they would know what performance would best fit the character in any given scene.



Doing the animation not only for this episode but possibly the show as a whole is Rough Draft Studios, INC and Rough Draft Korea. Now then interms if what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be even tho this show has always had some really good animation to it the show itself isn't really known for it's quality animation. 


This is about the third or maybe even fourth time that this show has been brought back from being cancelled. With the show being picked up and cancelled so many times that it's hard to believe that anybody else would pick this show up but alas here we are and this little show which by all rights should have been long dead by now is not only still going strong but is thriving thanks to it's very passionate fanbase who got so upset when it was first announced that John DiMaggio wasn't coming back that Hulu pretty much had to give John DiMaggio the role back again even tho he didn't get the pay rise that he requested.

Futurama from what I can remember about it has always been a pretty timeless show and that timelessness  does seem to still be a thing with this episode. With the writing team only updating what it is that they take shots at but still taking shots at anyone and everyone and while this episode does seem tame by the standards of their other episodes when this episode truly gets bonkers and insane is where it also gets to be the most fun but I would have liked it if we had some character moments just to give us a reason to keep on coming back to watch the rest of the new episodes.


According to the shows official press release this season of the show will be very for new viewers to pick up. Which I don't think is true as just by this episode alone there are alot of questions that a newcomer to the franchise would ask and all of which are answered in previous episodes which is a shame because this show has the opportunity to attract a new fanbase that will hopefully keep it going but it's something that I can't really see it doing just due to how difficult it is for possible new fans to keep up with the plot of the show.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty four minuets and thirty one seconds. Which was a tad bit on the short side as this episode did have quite alot of things to set up and I dont really think that it could do all of that and still a really good story at the same time with even it's central take on streaming feeling really underdeveloped and just there for the sake of the plot needing some drama and nothing more then that and this episode isn't helped by it's really fast pacing either with the episode just rushing from plot point tom plot point.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes satire being painfully funny with every single one of this episodes jokes not only landing but landing hard and landing often as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is not the return of a classic animated series but it's also a return to form with the show still being as good and as relevant as it ever was and ever will be 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 infact mean that this very episode really does earn 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 and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Futurama 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.

Camp Rock Film Review

 


Whenever people talk about Disney they usually talk about their theatrically released films with very few of them if anyone talking about their Disney Channel Original Movies. Well that's exactly what i'm going to as alot of them aren't really all that bad and deserve to be talked about just as much if not more so then whatever the latest theatrically released Disney film happens to with the film in question being called simply just "Camp Rock" enjoy.

The plot of the film is when teenager Mitchie Torres gets the chance to go a famous music camp she discovers what it really means to be a musician. 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 just OK at best which is a shame because the idea alone is more then strong enough to support a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is singer and actress Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres , singer Joe Jonas as Shane Gray and Meaghan Martin as Tess Tyler. Also starring in this film is Alyson Stoner as Caitlyn Gellar , Wizards if Waverly Place star Maria Canals-Barrera as Connie Torres , Daniel Fathers as Brown Cessario , one of this films co-writers Julie Brown as Dee La Duke , Anna Maria Perez De Tagle as Ella Pador , Jasmine Richards as Margaret "Peggy" Dupree , Jordan Francis as Barron James , Roshon Fegan as Sander Loyer , Aaryn Doyle as Lola Scott , singer Kevin Jonas as Jason Gray and singer Nick Jonas as Nate Gray.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With the acting in this film being alot better then what it really had any right to be which is even more shocking given that alot of this films cast members aren't that well known and so it was shocking to see good acting in this film.


This film like many mid to late 2000's Disney Channel Original Movie is a film that's such a product of the times. With this film being really dated not only for using the popular girl is a bully trope but also for the technology that they use in the film all of which make this film feel alot more like a weird look back at a time that isn't even twenty years ago but at the same time that also makes the film oddly hilarious as well just because of how dated this film is which makes the film come across as being really enjoyable as well.


To me this film just comes across as a High School Musical knock off which is something that I thought back when this film was first airing. Except it doesn't have any thing that made High School Musical the mega franchise that it still is to this very day and as such it just comes across as Disney trying to cash in on something that they already own the rights to instead of coming up with a new concept which is a shame because if this film wasn't a High School Musical knock off or at least appearing to be then it really could have been a great ongoing franchise and not just a two film franchise that it ended up becoming.

Incase your wondering why the film looked as good as it was that's because of the fact that his film was shot by Dean Cundey who shot the original Halloween , all three Back To The Future movies and many more films. I was really shocked to see his name credited in this movies opening credits just because you don't really expect to see big well known names working on a TV movie let alone a Disney Channel Original Movie and I will admit that when I saw his name in this films opening credits that did get me excited to see some beautifully shot scenes in this movie.


For a comedy this film really isn't all that funny with this film just using jokes that make no sense when you think about it. Like for example why does Mitchie throw flower in her face as it's just flower it's not a mask yet that's the films biggest joke and it's one that doesn't work because logically it shouldn't work and the same thing is also true for alot of the films jokes as well all of which makes me wonder why the makers of this film thought that these jokes were funny because they really weren't which is a shame because the idea of someone trying to hide there face from someone else is a funny idea if you give it enough thought which makes me wonder if the writers of this film were under a very tight deadline as there's no way the jokes that we got in the final cut of this film would make it past the script stage if that wasn't the case and the writers weren't under a tight deadline.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty eight minuets and thirty six seconds. Which is so much longer then what this film really needs to be as this film only has more then enough story to cover at the very least one hour and fifteen to one hour and thirty minuets at a push which does mean that we get alot of scenes that don't advance the plot and that don't advance the characters but I will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then since this a musical that means that I have to talk about the actual songs that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual songs that are actually featured / presented to us in this very being really good. With this film having songs written by Kara DioGuardi , Greg Wells , Mitch Allan , Adam Watts , Andy Dodd , Matthew Gerrard , Robbie Nevil , Toby Gad , Pam Sheyne , Kovasciar Myvette , Jamie Houston , Antonina Armato , Tim James , Adam Anders and Nikki Hassman. With the best song in this film for me being "Here I Am" just because it is a good song that is rather wonderfully sung rather well by Renee Sandstrom in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Overall this was a pretty good movie but at the same time it's one that I can't see myself coming back all that often which is weird because I owned the soundtrack to this movie but that just goes to show you just how boring and how overly long that this film could and can be at times in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Justice League: Warworld Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

 


Warner Bros Pictures really are't having the best of times right now with The Flash being a box office bomb. Well now to make matters worse their latest animated direct to DVD film from DC Comics has just leaked online in it's entirety and well I just had to check this film and to play it safe i'm making this review a SPOILER FILLED review just because the film isn't technically out yet and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED  review of the film that sees three of earths greatest heroes unite with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League: Warworld" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Wonder Woman , Batman and Superman all find themselves trapped in three different realities and have to find out what's really going on before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time this films plot was also really weak as well bit it was still a fair;y entertaining plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Darren Criss as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman. Also starring in this film is Stana Katic as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman , Ike Amadi as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , Troy Baker as Jonah Hex , John DiMaggio as Lobo , Robin Atkin Downes as Mongul , Matt Bomer as Old Man , Teddy Sears as Warlord , Captain America: The Winter Solider star Frank Grillo as King Faraday , Agents Of Shield star Brett Dalton as Bat Lash , Roger Cross as Machiste , Damian O’Haire as Deimos and Kari Wahlgren as The Harbinger.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which is to be expected as pretty much all of these direct to DVD animated DC Comics have always had some really good acting in them and while the script does this cast no favors whatsoever this cast still manages to put on some really good performances as their respective characters with the same also being really true for this films newer cast members as well.



Doing the animation for this film is Red Dog Culture House and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Edge Animation Co..LTD. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good which is something that seems to be a trend of all of these Tomorrowverse films altho I still find the rather thick lines to be very distracting and something that just isn't needed at all.

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



As I said at the start of this review this film finds Batman , Superman and Wonder Woman n three different realities. With Wonder Woman being in a western , Batman being in a world that's vert much inspired by the film Heavy Metal and Superman being in what can only be described in a world that's inspired by the "Will The Real Martian, Please Stand Up" episode of the original The Twilight Zone with Wonder Woman's world being the best one out of the three just because it's a world where I can very easily see more stories being made in that world.

For so,e reason they made Jonah Hex the villain of Wonder Woman's western world which just doesn't add up as he's meant to be at the very least an anti-hero. He's not a straight up villain he's someone who will do bad things but he'll do them for the eight reasons and that is something that this film doesn't even hind at being the case which is a shame being this films of the character could have potential to be a reoccurring character in future Tomorrowverse films but I will admit that the design for the character is alot better then the one that they went with for 2010 live action Jonah Hex movie. 


As with alot of the Tomorrowverse films this film does include a tease of a possible future Justice League animated direct to DVD film and I will say that if there going with what I think that there going with. Then it's a bit to early to doing that event story as we don't really know these characters all that well just yet and as such this universe would feel far to small for the story line that I think that there going to be and as such that storyline (which yes i'm going to keep vague just on the off chance that i'm wrong) for the end of this universe and not really when it's still going.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for these movies but when each of three different realities that our heroes find them selfs in takes up almost twenty minuets each that doesn't leave alot of room for telling a good story or even developing the films villain and as such this film would have been much more better served if it was a two part film instead of a one part film but I will admit that this film does have some really fairly solid pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue as this films action isn't all that good either with the actin just being OK at best and just flat out boring at it's absolutely worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall this film is alot better then recent The Flash movie but that really isn't saying all that much as this still a pretty movie in it's own right which is a shame because this film had alot of potential to be a really good movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 ll of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Tomorrowverse fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the really wonderful Google Images as since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us up and the great and wonderful on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

It's The Girl In The Red Truck, Charlie Brown Film Review

 


The Peanuts gang have been in so many specials and feature films that it's hard to keep track of them all however what all of those specials have in common is the fact that there animated. Well there's one special out there that actually isn't fully animated and that's the special that i'm going to be taking a look at today just because I wanted to see good this film or special was and then join me as I review the special that really doesn't actually feature alot of the Peanuts gang in it with the special in question being called simply "It's the Girl In The Red Truck, Charlie Brown" enjoy.

The plot of this special is the first thing that's wrong with this special as there's very little to know to no plot to speak. I get it that alot of the Peanuts films and specials always have little plot in them to begin with but those always had characters that we liked and cute and charming animation to go with it and this film has none of those aspects and so we the audience are forced to focus a little bit harder on this films lack of story and so what would be a very minor issue in the other Peanuts adaptations suddenly becomes a major issue in this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Jason Riffle as The Voice Of Charlie Brown and Steven Stoliar as The Voice of The French Teacher On Cassette. Also starring in this film is Jill Schulz as Jenny , Molly Brice as Molly , Greg Deacon as Jeff and regular Peanuts director and producer Bill Melendez as The Voice Of Spike. This was I think the only time that Bill Melendez didn't play Snoopy in any Peanuts adaptation with the character appearing instead in a silent cameo at the start of the movie to help to set up the events of the film.

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. However that's also the issue as the acting in this film wasn't all that good either with this film mostly using very unknown actors and actresses or people who aren't an actor and actress and it really does show in the quality of the acting that we got in this film. with the acting not really being helped by the script which gives the actors and actresses nothing interms of what their respective characters personalities even are.



I have no idea who is doing the animation for this film I assume that it's Bill Melendez Productions but I could be wrong tho. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the animation being alot better then what it really had any right to be.


Even tho this film uses very similar techniques to Who Framed Roger Rabbit it's important to note that this film was being developed before Who Framed Roger Rabbit. However tho it's hard not to compare the two as Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the more popular of the two and while this film was made on a TV show budget the animated characters really do bend in well enough with the live action elements so well in fact that there are certain shots in this film that had me wondering how they managed to get that shot.

This film writer , producer and Thee Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz once said that he wanted this film to be his Citizen Kane. What he really should have focused on is making a good film because this film just isn't that good of a film at all with this film not really having any likable characters in it at all not that the characters that we have in this film are unlikable characters because there not it's just that there not really all that well written either and so they all just come across as bland and boring and are doing not because it's in their character to so but rather because the plot demands that they do those things instead.


From what little information that I can gather online this film has seen very few home media releases and I can see why. As it's a film that just looks cheap even down to using a small number of actors and characters and not really helping things is the fact that this film doesn't really feel like a Peanuts film or special as there's no heartwarming message and apart from Charlie Brown and Snoopy the actual Peanuts gang don't appear in this film with this film feeling like it was meant to be something else entirely only for it to be turned into a Peanuts special at the last minuet.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty eight minuets and four seconds. Which to this films credit does feel about the right amount of time for this film to have but given that this film has no story to it alot of the ti,e it just feels like your watching the characters just go through their day to day lives and while that never gets boring in this film it is something that can get boring very quickly and I will admit that this film does indeed have some really good pacing to it with the film really just flying by.


So now then since this is meant to be a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in in this very film was in all honesty really bad. With this film not really having any funny jokes in it at all with alot of this films jokes just falling flat which is a shame because The Peanuts specials usually have alot of really great and funny jokes in them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall out of all the adaptations that The Peanuts gang have been in this is perhaps the worst one that i've seen which is a shame because a live action Peanuts special could be really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4 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 Peanuts fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us up and on on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Terminus Review

 


When a new season of classic Doctor Who is announced to be joining it's ever popular Blu-Ray range it's always a course for celebration. As it means that new fans will get the chance to to discover episodes that they perhaps might have never even heard about with this episode being a very good example of that and so then join me as i review the episode that sees one companion leave the show for good with the episode in question being called simply just "Terminus" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when something causes the TARDIS to go wrong The Doctor and his companions find themselves on a spaceship they have to prevent the ship from exploding and causing the end of the universe. 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 pretty bad with this episodes plot being weak at best so weak infact that it's hard to tell what the actual plot of this episode even was as the plot is that weak in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Peter Davison as The Doctor , Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka. Also starring in this episode is Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough , Valentine Dyall as The Black Guardian , Liza Goddard as Kari , Dominic Guard as Olvir , Andrew Burt as Valgard , Tim Munro as Sigurd , Martin Potter as Eirak , Peter Benson as Bor , R.J. Bell as The Garm , Martin Muncaster as The Voice Of The Tannoy and Rachel Weaver as Inga.

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. Wit all of this episodes cast turning in some decent performances the issue is tho that the guest cast aren't really given all that much to work with interms of what their characters personalities are and so they can't really match up with the series regular cast performance wise.



To me this is the episode that feels the most like a horror film as it has alot of  the elements that are found in horror films.Like for example having deformed people walking around wile our main heroes are hidden underneath is a very common trope as is the spacecraft setting all of which give this episode an Alien type of vibe and that is something that does work really well to this episodes advantage as it gives the episode some much needed atmosphere as it means that there could be a scare coming around the corner at minuet now.


Usually when Doctor Who does an episode where a companion leaves the show that companion is usually replaced the next episode or even in the exact same episode. However this particular era of the show did something different by introducing the next companion in the previous episode and by giving them a whole story arc with this episode being the middle of that arc for the character of  Vislor Turlough and this was a really cool idea as it gives the audience the chance to see the character go through some rather radical changes before he becomes fully excepted as the new companion to The Doctor.

With that being said however I don't like the idea of a companion trying to kill of The Doctor as it's something that a companion should never try to do. As to me a companion is someone who the can be a friend to The Doctor when he needs one and someone who can tell The Doctor of when he does something that's close to being a Dalek and while having Vislor Turlough start of as this evil character does give his character somewhere to go interms of character development it also makes him seem like a rather unlikable character as well.


This episode is the one that saw Nyssa leave the TARDIS for good and to put it bluntly I really didn't like her departure. As it's something that's really built up it's just something that happens for no reason and that's not what a companion departure should be like as it should be something that's built up over of the course of either story or a single episode so that way when it does happen it feels like a natural conclusion but here it's something that only gets mentioned near the end of the story and that doesn't do either the show or the character any kind of justice.

Now then this episode has four episodes which means that this episode has / had a combined grand total running time of roughly one and thirty minuets. Which was a bit on the short side for this episode as it doesn't give us time to fully develop either the story or it's characters which ultimately leaves the story leaving a bit flat and the characters feeling rather one dimensional at the best of times which is a shame because the basic idea of this episode is a very solid idea it just needed more episodes to fully do it justice but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it.  


So now then as there was some 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 not that bad. Especially since classic Doctor Who wasn't really known for having really good action scenes and to see some really good looking action scenes in this episode was truly shocking to see in in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a fairly bad companion departure episode as it doesn't really give any kind of closure to the leaving companion and the story as a whole feels rather under-cooked as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

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