WWF Invasion PPV Review


It's been quite a while since I last reviewed anything to do with the world of wrestling and well it was about time that I do something about that. With the WWE having TNA stars appear on weekly WWE TV it only made sense that the main focus of this review be the first and to date only time when two wrestling companies went to war with each other on PPV and so then join me as I review the show that sees Team WCW and Team ECW take on Team WWF with the show in question being called simply just "WWF Invasion" enjoy.

The biggest story both before and coming out of this show is the whole invasion storyline with WCW and ECW invading the WWF. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in al honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt hat the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as while yes the invasion storyline is one that's wildly hated by wrestling fans due to how mismanaged it was interms of this show it is a storyline that is advanced somewhat well as while yes the only big advancement of the story we get is during the shows main event it was still a really shocking thing to see happen and it was something that does add some stakes to the storyline even if it did feel like that they were trying to add star power to a failing storyline when all they add to do was wait for guys like Sting , Goldberg and Kevin Nash to become available as then we could have had a true war with these two companies instead of having various wrestlers switch sides which is something that did dilute the idea of having them switch sides as there was no consequences either side for that happening but it still doesn't change the fact that the plot of this show was advanced in a way that was really shocking with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show was a really impressive looking set even tho it was just basically one big TV screen in the middle flanked by two smaller TV screens on both the left and right hand side of the bigger middle TV screen. However what was something that set this set apart from alot of the others during the this time period was the fact that not only do we have a bunch of pillars holding up all three screen but we also have two separate tunnels one of for each member of either Team WCW and Team ECW and the other one for Team WWF which was something that looked great as it made sense that they the three companies would have separate entry ways as if they didn't then they'd be fighting before they even made there way to the ring where as here it means that both sets of wrestlers get to enter the arena and do there thing and it also makes in the way that WCW and ECW are seen as being the heels in this's storyline and as a result of that is the fact that the feels would of course not go through the same tunnel as the faces as they'd want all of the attention to themselves and that is something that wouldn't be the case if there was only one tunnel and it's something that alot of wrestling companies sadly don't do anymore when it's something that they could do when the storyline permits them to do so as it would make a whole lot of sense and work really well for there shows as well with the set looking really good in this show and working really well for this show as well.

Thankfully there is no dead space when it comes to this shows set with all of this shows set filling up the entire entry way. Which is something that that all sets should do with the only really bug bear with this shows set being that it feels alot like a stereotypical WWF set and doesn't really incorporate elements from either WCW or ECW for that matter which is something that really could have done given the the fact that the poster for this show has both the owners of WCW and WWF matched up together and it's something that wold have gone really well with the PPV's theme as well as this show is all about WCW and ECW invading the WWF and yet none of that reflected in the set for this show which is something that does take away from how good this shows set really could gave been as it could have been alot more better if they did work in elements from all three companies to create one set that represents all three companies instead of creating something that feels like a stereotypical looking WWF PPV set and while yes all of the sets from around this time period are really unique looking sets if the show did have aa set that combined something from all three companies then they could have created something that was rather unique and that had the possibility to look really good as well but on the flip side of that is the fact that it also could have looked really bad as well and as a result of that is the fact that having one good looking set does make sense instead having a set that combines something from all three combines.


While not alot of wrestling love this whole invasion and for good reasons as it was something that was really mismanaged. As WCW was missing alot of it's heavy hitters that could have made the whole thing work alot more then what it does as the likes of Jeff Jarret , Sting , Kevin Nash and more were all waiting got there contracts to end and yet if the WWE had made them a very tempting offer and brought them all in for this storyline that it would have made the whole thing truly feel like a war but as things stand the whole just doesn't work and as a result of that is the fact that the WWE had to keep on having people switch brands more often then not for little to no reason all to try and make The Alliance seem like a bigger threat when having more of there popular stars from WCW would have done that perfectly heck even having Buff Bagwell join the group would have done and this is made even worse by the fact that they DID have Buff Bagwell compete on Raw but then they never brought him back after that when having him appear in this story line would have added some star power to Team WCW as even tho Team ECW had all of their heavy hitters join them early on and remain with them really until the storyline ended at Survivor Series ECW was just not that big of company to begin with therefor it would have fallen to WCW to bring in some of their top talent and really have them use their star power to make this group worth watching to make this storyline alot more interesting then what it really ended up being like. 


For some strange reason the WWF thought that having a pointless match between two referees was not only needed but also PPV worthy. When in actuality it really wasn't as this is a match that would have been better of served if it was on either Raw or Smackdown or on the Sunday Night Heat before this PPV aired and yet the WWF thought that this match was worth putting on PPV when it's not a PPV worthy match this is a match that really shouldn't have been a thing as we don;y need to see how the referees are feeling about this invasion and while yes it does go along way to show us that the invasion isn't just effecting the wrestlers but is infact effecting everyone that still doesn't excuse the fact that this match didn't need to be on the show if they were looking at this match as being a toilet break match then we have to wonder why it was the second match on the card when having be at the vert least the fourth or even fifth match on thew card really would have filled that role more better as nobody would be queuing to use the toilet after the first first match which not only makes this match a pointless match up as well but it also makes it one that's oddly placed in the shows card as well as there are better places where this match could have gone and yet they didn't go with the more obvious places and heck you even could have had this match switch places with the Torrie and Stacy vs Trish and Lita and it still would have made alot of sense from a placement point of view.

What was something that both did and didn't work for this show was the copious amounts of pointless backstage segments. As alot of them just hit home the exact point which is that both of thee companies hate each other and are trying to get there respective wrestlers pumped up for there respective matches and that's really it which does make them seem pointless and aimless as really you only need one or two backstage segments to hit that point home and not have it be quite literally every single backstage segment which just makes them comes across as being really repetitive when you really cold have used some of those backstage to develop some of the characters in this storyline and to further develop the storyline in a way that feels natural and not have Steve Austin big turn at the end of the show come out nowhere as you could have shown him acting odd during the show like he's not willing to talk to people or he says something that hints that he's not on the level instead of having it just happen just for the sake of it but for some reason the WWF was really obsessed with really hitting home that both sides are trying to pump up both of there wrestlers which is something that really didn't need to do as that is something that we the audience would already know is going on anyways and it would have given more of the storylines main characters a chance to get across what it is that there respective personalities are even meant to be in the first place as well instead of just leaving them as personalitiless characters which is something that only serves to harm not only the story line but the character in question as well with this really being something that could have been fixed if this show devoted some of it's backstage segments to developing either it's characters or really the storyline as a whole.


In what is a rather shocking move is the fact that there's only one title match during the whole entire show. With that being the Hardcore Championship which is odd as the shows does have several champions competing on the show and almost all of which could have had some really good championship matches given who they were competing against with a good example of that being Billy Kidman vs X-Pac as both of them are the cruiserweight champion for there respective companies and having them compete in a double title match would noy only have made sense but given how well that they worked together in the match itself it also would have been a really good match but to the shows credit having only the one title match on the card really did make the match stand out and because of that both Rob Van and Jeff Hardy really did go above and beyond what was expected of them to deliver a really good and exciting match something that while it wouldn't have been diluted by having more championship matches if anything it would have made stand out all the more if they were bad matches but it is something that would have made the storyline as a whole all the more impactful even more so if The Alliance won all of those matches as it would then make the WWF seem more like the underdogs in the story and it would make all the more gravitating when they do when the storyline at Survivor Series as well but having the one championship match on the card means that we have get to have one really good championship match instead of having several bad to OK ones.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running tine of exactly two hours and forty minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is both a solid and not a solid running time for this show as the show does have more then alot there interms of plot to really require that amount of running time at the same time tho there are some matches that could have done with being alot shorter then what it was like for example the Hardcore Championship between Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy is a match that didn't need to run well over twelve minuets long as that match could have done it's job in about seven minuets and the same thing also goes for the opening tag team match as well and even the six man tag between Big Show , Albert and Billy Gunn vs Chris Kanyon , Hugh Morrus and Shawn Stasiak is match that could have been moved to Sunday Night Heat as it has no bearing on the main storyline which makes that match feel more like a filler match where s if it was on Sunday Night Heat then it could at the very least have been something that was built up on episodes of that show instead of only being added to the show at the very last minute all of which would have gone quite a long way into making this show alot more shorter and with that shorter running time the show could then have devoted more time to the matches that really needed it like for example Billy Kidman vs X-Pac but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a wrestling show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With there being alot of really good wrestling matches in this show which was something that was to be expected given who is competing in this show but at the same time there was was a few really bad wrestling matches with it being a tie for the worst match on the show as it was between Earl Hebner vs Nick Patrick and Torrie and Stacy vs Trish and Lita but what made the all referees match bad was the fact that ti was two untrained people trying to have a wrestling match where as with the all women's tag team match they at the very least put both Torrie and Stacy in the ring with two people who could wrestle even if Trish still wasn't that good yet at this point in time with the all referee match being something that you could very easily just by making it a tag team match with each referee being paired with someone from there respective roster that could wrestle where as it would be a bit more of a challenge to fix the women's tag team match just because of the fact that the women of WCW weren't rally all that known for being great wrestlers most of the time with the best wrestling match being the ten men tag team match between The Alliance vs Team WWF with that match just being a nonstop thrill ride from start to finish that was a really exciting match to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't a bad show but the same time it wasn't necessarily a good show either with this show being a very middle of the road show that despite advancing the company wide storyline in a great an interesting still good have a much more better show then what it ultimately ended in being as in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good ans as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and s such that really does mean that this show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review


Reboots and sequels are a very common thing with alot of TV shows getting either rebooted or getting sequel shows. Well now Disney have released there latest sequel series with this one being one that takes us back into the Disney Channel Original Series Universe and it's one that alot of people myself included have been dying to watch and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that sees the Russo family return with the show in question being called simply just "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place" enjoy.

The plot of this show is Justin Russo has given up magic after getting fired from his job at Wiztech but all of that changes when his sister introduces him to a young wizard who has to defend the world from an unknown threat. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as it did a good job of getting us up to date with the characters that we know and love from the original show whilst at the same time giving us a good and solid storyline as well but at the same time tho this plot doesn't really feel like it belongs in the Wizards franchise and if anything it feels like something that would have been included in future episodes of Best Friends Whenever which is something that does make sense since this show was also developed by the creators of Best Friends Whenever Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas and while yes the original show did also have plots where the characters had to save the world there it was done after we've gotten to know all of the characters and thus it made sense to do plots like that here it happens in episode one which is something that doesn't work either from a character or a plot point of view as we haven't had alot of time to really get to know all of these characters yet with the plot as a whole being really decent plot but it's also one that could have been alot more better then what it actually was with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is this show executive producer David Henrie as Justin Russo and Janice LeAnn Brown as Billie. Also starring in this show is Alkaio Thiele as Roman Russo , Max Matenko as Milo Russo , Taylor Cora as Winter , Mimi Gianopulos as Giada Russo , this shows executive producer Selena Gomez as Alex Russo , voice acting legend Dee Bradley Baker as the voice of Floogie and Phantomus , Patrick Bristow as Wizardpedia , Oscar Montoya as Marcus , John DiMaggio as the voice of Frog , Darien Sills-Evans as Superintendent Kowalski , Kirsten Vangness as Bigelow Figglehorn , JJ Nolan as Morphia Murkshadow , Eleanor Sweeney as Bella Bianchi and Kristen Hensley as Anita Bianchi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be. As nobody expects there to be good acting from a Disney Channel show as the acting in those shows is usually very over the top and very campy at best and yet in this show all of the actors manage to turn in a really good performance which is something that really isn't all that new as both David Henrie and Selena Gomez are reprising their roles from the original show and would there for know how best to perform there respective characters and how there respective characters would act in any given situation and even the shows new actors whilst they don't even come close to holding a candle when it comes to acting against the original actors they do also manage to turn in a really good performance in their own right as well with some of them being so good that they could have bright futures in acting should they of course decide to continue acting that is with the acting that's in this show not really being helped by the fact that the script for this show is just so bad as it gives none of this show actors absolutely nothing to work with when it comes to what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be which is something that really does effect the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.


Doing the CGI for the show is the legends and the really greats that are really currently over at Radiant Sun. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as the original show itself didn't really have that good CGI in it especially in it's first season and yet here the effects look like they belong in the reunion special that they did for the original show as there just that good which is something that does both work and against the show it works for the show in the way that it does show that Disney really is putting in alot of money into the making of this show but at the same time tho those cheesy looking effects also added alot of charm to the show as well which is something that the effects in this show are lacking as they all long a little bit to good when it would have been more in keeping with the show if they made the effects still look good but also look like that they belong in the world of the original show as instead the effects in this show don't feel like that they belong in the world of either this show or the original show as that's just hoe good the shows CGI effects really are but having a show with good effects really does show that Disney Channel shows really could have had some really good looking effects in them if Disney only bothered to give them all a decent budget which would in turn result in a decent effects budget as well.

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



There was once actors that I left of this review and that's the fact we also have David DeLuise as Jerry Russo. With the character now a volunteer at a spell help line which is an interesting way to go with the character but at the same time it's also not really something that makes sense for this character as the character in the original show was never someone who would do that sort of thing has had his own busisness to run but given how the original series ended it does at the very least make sense that he would now do something to take up all of his free time and it is something that does allow the character to come back in future episodes and it was sweet seeing him interact with with David Henrie but given how badly he talked about Disney on the official Wizards Of Waverly Pod podcast it does make you wonder he chose to work for them again even if it was just a one time only thing but given how strong the bond was between all of the original shows main actors he might have chosen to work on this show as a way to reconnect with some of the original actors that perhaps he hasn't seen in a while with his appearance in this show also serving as a passing the torch moment as he and Justin have a heart to heart on how best to teach Billie which was a really sweet moment between these two characters that we the audience had grown to like.

To put it bluntly Disney have just screwed over Disney Channel with how there choosing to release this show. As even tho the first two episodes of the show did indeed air on Disney Channel and the rest of the series will indeed be airing on Disney Channel they've also dropped the first NINE episodes of the show on Disney+ which now means that us the audience have no reason to tune into Disney Channel when they can just watch them all on Disney+ if anything this is a show that should have aired all of it's episodes on Disney Channel first before airing them on Disney+ as that would not only give Disney Channel the much more needed boost that it needs it would also make alot of sense as the original show was a staple of the Disney Channel when it first being aired and yet now there's now reason to watch the following seven episodes on Disney Channel which is something that would only hurt the Disney Chanel in the long run and it's something that's a huge issue with Disney Branded Television as having shows airing on both Disney+ and the Disney Channel Channel at the exact same time is always going to harm one and give a boost to the other when Disney+ doesn't need a boost as it already has a bunch of content where as Disney Channel does need a boost as not alot of people are going to be watching since we now have Disney+ with all of the Disney content on it where as the Disney Channel only has the programming and original movies and that's really it.


Just based off of these first nine episodes of the show this show does have all of the hallmarks of a show that was created by Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas. As not only does the show feature a more serialised form of storytelling that has a strong sense of continuity but the show also has really dramatic in the first three episodes of the show which is something that really doesn't work as we haven't had enough tine to to fully form a connection with these new characters at this point in time and while having more dramatic moments in this show can and does work later on in the series it only works then because of the chance that we've had a more time to get to know these characters and so those more dramatic moments can have a bigger impact and heck just like with Best Friends Whenever episode nine of this show also ends on cliffhanger which is a staple of Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas and it's something that really doesn't work as it's to early on in the shows history to be doing what is basically a multipart story when something like that would be better off for either the series finale or for the end of the show itself as then it would be epic enough to be justified and yet doing it here only serves to cheapen the effect as we know that the characters are going to be OK and that the status quo of the show will be put back to normal by the end of the episode and yet if the show did it's first two parter as a series finale or even a show final then the shows status quo can then be changed thus justifying doing a two parter in the first place.

Now then his show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets per episode. With the longest episode of these first nine episodes being episode one which clocks in at around twenty six minuets and fifty nine seconds which is a solid running time for that episode as the episode does have alot of things to set up and still tell a good story but at the same time it is weird with that one episode being longer then all of the rest of the first nine episodes which have a more bogstanderd running time for TV comedies with all of the episodes having just the right amount of plots for there respective running times but at the same time tho there really was no need for all of the other episodes to have a shorter running time then the first episode when the show would have had a more consistent running time and with the show current running times per episode the show really does take the time to develop it's characters alot better then what you'd really expect from the first season of a new show with all of the characters revealing that there's much more to them then meets the eye but at the same time the characters are still very badly written with alot of the characters not really getting the chance to fully develop there characters personalities with Justin himself what could be seen as a complete character change as he went from being a very smart and confident person to being someone who is questioning everything that he does and acting like the stereotypical Disney Channel dad something that could have been fixed if the episodes did have a slightly longer running time as that would have allowed all of the characters to get all of there personalities across alot better then what they do in the final cut of the show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With alot of the comedy in these first nine episodes being funny jokes with alot of them being in line with what you'd expect from the first three season of the original show with them having some pun names in spells and the characters themselves having some really good one liners with the most funniest character in these first nine episodes being none other then Billie herself as she's a street smart cocky character who is pretty much exactly like Alex was in the original show only now she knows that she's street smart and cocky and still acts that way just because she wants to do so and while yes Justin does still get alot of funny moments in these first nine episodes since they really didn't do his character any kind of justice whatsoever alot of his funny moments come across as feeling forced and not something that the actual character would say or do which is a shame because alot of his jokes are acted really well with David Henrie having alot of really great facial expressions and David DeLuise is still of top form with him being just as likable and lovable as he was in the original show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall this isn't a bad sequel series but at the sae time it's not a particularly good one either with it having all of the trade marks of a bad sequel show in that it gets the returning characters mostly wrong and shifts them aside for the newer characters but if this is anything like Best Friends Whenever and Raven's Home both of which Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas worked on then expect this show to get cancelled after the second series or expect them to be replaced and see an improvement in the show after it's second series because as things stand this is nothing more then an OK show at 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 this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I perso0nally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

LEGO Marvel Avengers: Mission Demolition Special SPOILER FILLED Special Review


While Marvel has had a quite the solid week with the new Venom movie coming out and rather rightfully taking up alot of media and fan attention. It would be fully understandable if alot of you either A didn't know about this special in the first place or B just straight up forgot about well the house of ideas did also release a brand new Lego special about a week or so ago and well this was the first time since then that i've been able to cover it and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special that sees two nineties kids TV stars team up for the first time ever with the special un question being called simply just "LEGO Marvel Avengers: Mission Demolition" enjoy.

The plot of this special is when a worker for the group Damage Control accidently helps an evil alien unleash a device that jails all of the Avengers it's up to him and the head of Vision to find away to break The Avengers out and stop the alien from taking over the world 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 special well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad and was alot better then what it really had any right to he but at the same time tho the plot of the previous special Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red was the much more better plot with the plot of this special feeling more like the plot that you'd see in a bad Lego DC movie or even a good Marvel animated movie and not the kind of plot that really sells you on these characters as this specials plot does feel like something that a kid would come up with and not in the fun way like in The Lego Movie rather it's in the wrong with this specials plot just being weak for alot of the time but when the special does try to do something interesting with it's plot it is something that works really well with the plot of this plot of this special also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is Will Friedle as Dennis / Demolition Man , Kevin Smith as Terry / Terrax and David Kaye as Vision and Hot Dog Suit Vendor. Also starring in this special is John Stamos as Tony Stark / Iron Man , Roger Craig Smith as Steve Rogers / Captain America , Frank Castle / Punisher and Ben Grimm / Thing , Ogie Banks as Sam Wilson / Captain America , Laura Bailey as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow and Statue Of Liberty , Fred Tatasciore as Bruce Banner / Hulk , Devil Dinosaur and Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider , Travis Willingham as Thor , James C. Mathis as T'Challa / Black Panther and Candy Suit Vendor , Tiffany Thiessen as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk , Susie Essman as Gloria , Trevor Devall as Rocket Raccoon Ulysses Klaue / Klaw and Popcorn Suit Vendor , Scott Porter as Bobby Drake / Iceman and Marc Spector / Moon Knight , Julie Nathanson as Mary MacPherran / Titania and Alison Blaire / Dazzler , Diamond White as Lunella Lafayette / Moon Girl , Lily Sanfelippo as Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider , Steve Blum as James Howlett / Wolverine Remy LeBeau / Gambit and Peter Petruski / Trapster , Vanessa Marshall as Susan Storm / Invisible Woman and The Computer Voice , Jason Mantzoukas as Wade Wilson / Deadpool , Benjamin Brady as Excited Fan , Tom Brady as Himself and Kevin Michael Richardson as Lenny Ballinger.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty no that bad for the most part. As there some decent performances in this special but at the same time tho it is very distracting hearing John Stamos as Tony Stark as you don't hear the character all you hear is John Stamos which makes you wonder why they recast Mick Wingert who not only turned in good performances as the cast but was the pitch perfect voice for the character as well and it's like for alot of the characters in this special with the actors turning in some really good performances but alot of the characters also being very miscast like Kevin Smith as Terry / Terrax with Kevin Smith having such a very recognisable voice that you really don't see the character anymore you just hear Kevin Smith trying to put on a performance with his performance perhaps being the worst one which is of no fault of his as he's not a trained actor he's a director which really makes you wonder why Disney and Marvel cast him in this special in the first place with the acting that's in this very special not really being helped by thew fact that this special script is just so bad as it gives none of this specials absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.


Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought /felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good with the special really embracing the fact that everything is made out of lego with even the flames in the specials various explosions being made up of lego pieces which was some nice attention ton detail but at the same time tho this specials just lacks that extra something that was present in the theatrically released Lego movies as while yes the animation that's in this special is indeed really good you can still tell that it was made in a computer and thus it looses something as opposed to The Lego Movie for example where it genuinely looked like a kid was moving those lego pieces around which added to the overall charm of the animation in that film and if anything that is something that really should have bee presented in this special as after all these lego specials are made to sell the lego toy sets and thus having the animation reflect that would make a whole lot of sense but this films animation is also really good as it does give the characters some really nice fluid movements and some very highly detailed backgrounds to them as well.

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



This film does feature alot of nods to other Marvel characters with alot of them having cameos in the special. With the likes of Daredevil and The Beast for example making silent appearances in this special but what had to be the oddest call back was the fact that Black Panther straight quotes Storm's toad line from X-Men in the special and it doesn't make any sense as in the film Storm is saying that line to Toad so there is some connection there but in the special Black Panther is saying it to Terrax who isn't a Toad like creature nor does he look anything like Toad and as a result of that is the fact that the line comes across as being a fanservice moment for the sake of being a fanservice moment where as all f the other fanservice moment at least added something to the special like the fact that all of the heroes live in New York and Dennis literally runs into several of them on his way home from work which might seem like a pointless moment but at the same time it also sets up that there are several heroes just in New York alone and so there is some relevance to that sequence where as with the Toad X-Men line reference there's really no point to that line of dialog being there with the line itself oddly enough being even more unfunny in this special then what it was in the original X-Men film as in the very least in the original X-Men Storm is at the very least saying it to Toad where as here that really just isn't the case at all.

As a comedy this special isn't all that good as alot of this films jokes are very kid friendly and are the kinds of jokes that only really little kids will like. Which is something that does make alot of sense as not only is Lego a very kid friendly brand but the special itself is also made for little kids and with little kids in mind but at the same time tho you still need to have some actually funny jokes in this special and while Deadpool does indeed get a really credits joke at the end of the special and She-Hulks running joke about her being the only one allowed to break the fourth wall before quite literally running into a fourth wall is a really funny joke but at the same time tho little kids aren't going to get that joke as alot of them won't even understand the concept behind the fourth wall in the first place and even the specials main character of Dennis does get a decent running joke with his neighbour always saying hateful things towards only for her to turn around and say that she's always supported him when he does join The Avengers is a slightly funny joke in this special and alot of the special jokes are like as while there are some really decent jokes in this special the special is made up of alot more bad and painfully jokes then it does have good jokes and while yes little kids might find all of this special jokes to be really funny alot of the adults watching this special or anyone who's over the age of ten won't find all of this specials jokes to be really funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


The specials villain Terrax isn't that bad for this kind of special as for a kid friendly special he is a passable villain. However at the same time tho he isn't the strongest villain that they could have used like for example the special straight up hints at Galactus with the machine that Terrax uses having lights that don't work so the only working lights spell out the word Galactus and all that does is make you wonder why he wasn't used as a the specials main villain as Terrax has nothing all that interesting about him outside of the fact that he's voiced by Kevin Smith and while yes it would have been very hard for them to do Galactus in a way that's suitable for young kids it still doesn't change thew fact that he would have been a much more better villain as Terrax doesn't even have that much of an end goal outside of the fact that he wants to get rid of all of the heroes in New York and yet they never really fully explain why he wants to do that and as a result of that is the fact that it just comes across as him wanting to do these evil things just because he can do and not because of the fact that it helps him achieve any kind of goal all of which does go along way to make him a less interesting villain which is a shame as he does have a really cool design to him and it would be great to see a character with this design be incorporated into the main Marvel canon and not just be a character that was made for this special.

Now the this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty minuets and eleven seconds. Which is a solid running time for this special to have as this special really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time as the plot of this special doesn't really require a longer running time in order to fully tell it's story to the best that it really could have done and while yes this special really would have been helped if it did have a slightly longer running time even if it's just five minuets given that this special is made for little kids and with little kids in mind having a special that's almost an hour long might be pushing it for little kids even if it would mean that the extra running time would allow for the specials characters to get across at the very least some of what it is there personalities are meant to be but at the same time tho given this special target audience are indeed little kids and they don't typically care about having fully formed characters as they just want the characters as they know them to be and that's really it and that's exactly what they get in this special with it's characters and with that in mind having a long running time doesn't really make alot of sense as it's something that kids won't really be looking for but it is something that the kids parents and that fans of the comic books will be looking out for tho but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action special that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. As we do get some really fun filled action scenes in this special with the best example of this being the specials third act in which we get to see alot of the heroes come together to team up up and take on Terrax all while "I Need A Hero" by Bonnie Taylor is playing which does make it really fun scene but at the same time all it did was make me think of the scene in Shrek 2 with Shrek and co running through the castle to get to Princess Fiona all the while the exact same song is playing over it and while the action in this special really is indeed really good and really fun given the heroes that they have appear in this special it would have been all the more better if the special actually did take the time to show alot more heroes fighting Terrax which would have made him look like more of threat and it would have shown that it takes all of the heroes to take him down and it it would have been a really fun scene as well with the special third act fight also being the specials best action scene as it really will always be fun to see a group of heroes coming together and seeing all of them use there respective powers to take down a bad guy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall while Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red might be the better special this special is also really fun  and is something that little kids can very easily get behind as it has all of the characters that they all like acting in the way that they know them to do with this special also being a really harmless kids special 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 thar re in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now the as for where I personally got all of the mages that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Database fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: School Reunion Review


In the world of Doctor Who companions come and go all the time with very few of them actually returning to the show. However there is one companion out there that many agree s the best of the best so much of the so that it wasn't all that surprising when it 2006 it was announced that she'd be starring in her second spin-off with that one actually going on to become a full series however before all of that happened she made her grand return to Doctor Who almost thirty something years after previously leaving the show and so then join me as I review the episode that sees The Doctor team up with some old friends to take on some new enemies with the episode in question being called simply just "School Reunion" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is whole The Doctor and rose are undercover investigating a school that after a UFO sighting suddenly starts getting record results they bump into an old friend of The Doctors and have to take on some evil aliens who are hell bent on destroying the universe as we know it. 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 hat the actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being alot better then what it really had any right to be as by all accounts this episodes plot really shouldn't have worked as it was a plot that is a bit simple and a bit to silly for it's own good and yet it's those exact same things that works well enough in the episodes favor and work for the plot of the episode and not against as they are things that the classic era of Doctor Who was also known for being as well and with this show being a kids show it does mean that we are going to get alot of simple plots that are also really easy to follow along with as well and while those might not work for every single plot of the episode here given the shows schools setting it is something that does work well enough in the shows favor with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is David Tennant as The Doctor , Billie Piper as Rose Tyler and Noel Clarke as Mickey Smith. Also starring in this episode is Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith , John Leeson as The Voice Of K9 Mk. III , Rod Arthur as Mr Parsons , Eugene Washington as Mr Wagner , Heather Cameron as Nina , Joe Pickley as Kenny , Benjamin Smith as Luke , Clem Tibber as Milo , Lucinda Dryzek as Melissa and Anthony Head as Mr Finch.

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 is something that really isn't all that new not only for Doctor Who as a whole but also for this era of Doctor Who as the acting that's in this very show has always been top notch with all of this episodes really turning in some really good performances in this episode which is something that really does make alot of sense as all of this episodes main actors are a bunch of really good actors in there right and even tho this was only the third episode of the series to be filmed after The Christmas Invasion and New Earth you can really quite clearly see that David Tennant is already feeling really quite confident in his role as The Doctor something that really does shine through in this episode with the acting that's in this very episode also being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at The Mill and Any Effects. Now then interms of what I personally thought /felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes CGI being alot better then alot of the CGI that was in the show at this point as to be frank alot of the effects in the early episodes of New Doctor Who really haven't aged all that well and thus come across as looking really bad because of it and yet with this episode it seems like the effects budget got a huge increase as while yes there are a few bad looking effects in this episode alot more of the episodes effects not only look really good for a 2006 episode of the show but also look like that they really could belong in mid budget TV show from ten years ago and while yes there are few bad looking projection shots in this episode which really haven't aged all that all the overall majority of this episodes CGI have aged really well and it really does make you wonder if the effects budget for this series of the show really was bigger then what it was for the last series as the effects for the last series now look really bad where as the same thing cannot be said for the effects that are in this episode.


As was mentioned in the casting for this episode this is the episode that sees long time favorite Elisabeth Sladen make her grand return to Doctor Who. More then thirty years after her last appearance in the show but a little over ten years since she last played the character as she did reprise the role in the much hated and loathed charity crossover special Dimensions In Time and she just very easily slips right back into character in this episode almost as if she had just finished playing the character a year before she filmed this episode and for those of us who didn't get to watch he run on the show when this episode was being aired it's not hard to see why she captured the hearts of audience members when she was on the show as she is funny and charming and more then equal to The Doctor with her still being the gold standard for Doctor Who companions to this very day and while the first attempt at a solo spin-off for the character K9 And Company didn't go far apart from the one episode the other spin-off that the character starring in The Sarah Jane Adventures is perhaps the best spin-off series that Doctor Who has ever produced no only because of the fact that it focuses on a companion that people loved back then and got to love all over again but also because of the fact that the character is just such a good character in her own right.

What was somewhat interesting was the fact that this episode delved into the idea of what life is like when The Doctor does leave a companion behind. Be it by choice or in the case of Sarah Jane by force and that is something that is a really good idea with The Doctor explaining with this great speech about how he doesn't age and so going back for Sarah Jane would have been to painful for him because while Rose does and most likely would have spent the rest of her life with him he can't possibly spend the rest of his with her because of the fact that he regenerates where as humans die and decay and when you think of it that way that makes all of the departures in the shows history all the more heartbreaking as The Doctor will never go back to visit them as it would just be to painful for him to see someone that he's grown to care for grow older and older almost to the point where they could possibly die where as The Doctor himself just keeps on getting younger and younger but what lets the episode down is the fact that it doesn't delve into how that could effect not The Doctor but also his current companion Rose with the two of them just brushing it off right away when this is something that should have been discussed more and while we do get to see it from Sarah Jane's point of view as she's been unable to move on with her life since she last saw The Doctor even after that scene she doesn't have a moment where she realises that she has to keep on moving forward outside of one line dialog where she , Rose and The Doctor confront Mr. Finch in his school's IT room and that's really it.


This episodes main villains The Krillitanes weren't really that interesting villains for this episode to have. As while they do have a really cool looking design with them taking the form of what can only best be described as giant alien bats there's nothing to them personality wise that makes them all that interesting as they all come across as being these very one note characters that only have one thing one there mind and that's getting the children to do what they want and while that does also make them scary villains and it makes Mr. Finch a wonderfully creepy villain as well there's nothing about them that makes them memorable where as with creatures like say The Cybermen for example all of the in all of there iterations have something about there personalities that makes them interesting villains where as here The Krillitanes just come across as being villains that for the most part are trying to hard to be scary as the episode shows us so much about them when leaving some of what they did hidden in mystery would make them scary like we don't need to see them feeding on people every other scene just have it always happen off screen as that makes them all the more terrifying and what could fix The Krillitanes personalities is simple as all you have to do is show that there are some amongst them who don't always agree with what Finch is doing as that one little thing would go a long way to make them feel more like three dimensional characters and it would make Finch all the more creepy as you could have him be the one to eat the rogue the Krillitane on screen which would not only make that death all the more impactful as were seeing it happen on screen but it also make Mr. Finch a far more creepy and scary villain as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have at this point in time and to this episodes credit it really does have just the right amount there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time as while yes the episode really does take the time to hit all of the beats that you expect it to hit with a classic companion including having them meet back up with The Doctor and have them wonder why he never came back here because it was the first time that it happened in modern Doctor Who it does so in a way that is not only fitting for those characters but also services the story as while yes yes the classic did also have companions come back to the show as well none of them took the time to ask that question of why The Doctor didn't return for them and that's something that thus episode does take the time to do and it's something that's done in service to the Sarah Jane character and while that scene with her and The Doctor and Rose discussing why he never came back for her doesn't add that much to the plot outside of Finch finding out that The Doctor is a timelord it would also be a disservice to the Sarah Jane character if a scene like that was cut out of the episode as well but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean 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 his very episode was in all honesty really good. As this episodes action does also serve a purpose outside of getting rid of the villains as it's during this episodes action that we get see K9 Mark 3 basically die and while his death doesn't effect the action in the episode as a whole the very fact that he was willing to do something like that as his batteries were running out it is something that does show just how far The Doctor companions are willing to go to defend the earth with this episodes action being a good way to show case how the classic era of the show and the modern era of the show are vastly with neither being better then the other as in the modern era of the show they would have some really exciting music with laser going off everywhere and explosions going off and it would end with a big explosions where as in the classic era it would basically just be a fist fight between two characters and that's really it with the action inn this episode being pretty much exactly what just described about alot of the action in the modern era of Doctor Who and it's something that really does work for this episode and because of that we get a really exciting third act action scene in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall if this episode isn't a fan favourite episode of the show then it really should be as it serves as a good way to get modern Doctor Who fans interested in a classic Doctor Who companion whilst still telling  really good stories with villains that only needed some minor work on them to become some really great villains in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 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 Amazon . Co . Uk , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Wizards Of Waverly Place: The Movie Film Review


Back in the mid to late two thousands there was one show that was taking over Disney Channel with the show getting so popular that it spawned a movie adaptation. With the show also receiving a sequel series that is due to start airing in a weeks time I thought that now was the absolutely right time to taker a look at the movie and so then join me as I review the movie that sees a family wizards face there biggest challenge ever with the movie in question being called simply just "Wizards Of Waverly Place: The Movie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when she makes a wish that causes her parents to forget who they are Alex Russo and her brothers Justin and Max have just forty eight hours to find a mythical stone that will cause the spell to be reversed and their lives saved. 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 plot of this film being really epic to be the kind of plot that could only be told in a movie format as telling it in one of the shows signature specials episodes just wouldn't do it justice and yet with a movie the plot can be and is as well thought and as well developed as it really needed to be with this films plot doing a good job of expanding the world that the film and the show takes place in whilst also advancing the overall plot of the show as well but at the same time tho when a TV show usually gets a movie adaptation it's usually done as a way to end the show and yet here the movie was ending in the middle show and as a result of that is the fact that the show has no where to go as this is the biggest story that they could possibly tell with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Selena Gomez as Alex Russo , David Henrie as Justin Russo and Jake T. Austin as Max Russo. Also starring in this film is Mean Girls 2 and Harriet The Spy: Blog Wars star Jennifer Stone as Harper Finkle , Justice League and Justice League Unlimited star Maria Canals-Barrera as Theresa Russo , David DeLuise as Jerry Russo , Xavier Enrique Torres as Javier , Steve Valentine as Archie and Jennifer Alden as Giselle.

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. Which is something that both is surprising and yet not all that surprising at the exact same time as alot of this films actors are reprising their roles from the show and would there for no how best to perform there respective characters and yet at the same time given that this is a Disney Channel Original Movie those don't usually have that good acting in them and and as a result of that is the fact that with this film having some actually good acting in it it does make it all the more surprising with even the films newer characters more then holding their own when it comes to acting against the series regular actors and while the acting from the newer characters could have been better the acting from the film as whole also really could have been alot more worse then what it ultimately really ended up being with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.


Doing the CGI for this film really is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Engine Room. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGU that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films CGI being alot more better then the effects that were in the show which really isn't a hard thing to do as the effects in the show especially in the first season were laughably bad something that even the cast of the show admit and frequently laugh at but at the same time the effects in this film are alot more better then the effects that are in the shows second season as well which is understandable as this film had not only a bigger budget for the show but also had a better effects company working on it as well with the effects team having more time to develop the effects for the film as on the show the effects team had about a week to do each effect for an episode of the show where as with this film they had alot more longer time to get the effects just right and that is something that really does show in the final product as this films effects really are quite easily better then the effects that are in the show as that's just how good the effects really are in this film.


As with alot of Disney Channel live action shows that got turned into movies this one isn't made by the same team that made the show. With the film having different writers and a different director then what was used on the show and because of that is the fact that shows original showrunner Peter Murrieta had to step in and fix the movies script as characters weren't speaking like how they would do on the show and the characters acted differently then how they acted on the show and heck out of the shows many producers it was only Peter Murrieta and the shows creator Todd J. Greenwald that were given producer credits on the movie and even then it's most likely because of the fact that Todd J. Greenwald created the show and most likely didn't do any kind of work on the movie and for Peter Murrieta it's either because of the fact that he did an uncredited rewrite on the films script or because of the fact that he was the shows first showrunner and nothing more then that as the movie and the show were produced by different arms of Disney Channel and as a result of that is the fact that we get characters who act like how they would act on the show but now it's on a much more bigger scale and this is something that really does make you wonder why Disney Channel has two divisions one for the TV and one for the movies when having one division working on both the shows and movies would help to create a more cohesive TV to film adaptation.

One of the things that does let this film is the fact even the film does start to have the theme of a mother and daughter falling apart. The issue does stem from the fact that the movie doesn't really develop this idea outside of the fact that it's main reason for Alex casting a spell that makes Theresa Russo and Jerry Russo not remember each other but that's really it as it's something that's very rarely if ever brought up again after that moment when for the vast majority of the films early running time it was in every single scene that both Alex and Theresa share together when something that's this important should really be highlighted and developed alot more then what it really is as we know from the show that both character really do care about each other and would be willing to do anything to make the other happy which makes there falling out in this film all the more confusing as in the movie they fall out because of the fact that Theresa doesn't want Alex to go to a party and wants her to go on holiday with the whole family and that's really it and that is something that doesn't do either character any justice as these are two characters that really do care about each and as such there falling out really should stem from something that's more important then going on holiday with the family and not going to a party which for some strange reason they really don't take the time to do despite the fact that this film has the running time to do so.


To give this film some form of credit this film does get one relationship right and that's the relationship between Alex and Justin. With there relationship not only being a key thing in the movie but also being a key thing in the show as well with alot of the shows more heartbreaking moments coming from those two just talking and when they just talk and don't argue with each other we do end up with pure gold and that's something that we get in this movie with not only the scene where there floating rocks across a gorge but also when there just sitting down and camping being two of the best scenes in the whole movie as they two get to talk about there relationship and how they both secretly want to be the other but can't because of the fact that they don't know how to and the fact that Justin fears not being good at magic because of the fact that it comes so easily to Alex and he fears not being loved by his parents because of that and that is a good scene that does lead to a good talk between the two of them but at the same time tho the film doesn't really take the time to develop eithers relationship with max who once again gets shifted into the side plot of him trying to get Theresa and Jerry to meet on there own and that's really it when the film really could have taken the time to delve into the relationship between all three characters and heck we even get a wonderful scene where Justin realizes that the reason why a magical path didn't show up for him was because of the fact that he wanted to to do so for selfish reasons where as Alex wanted it to appear for selfless reasons which also happens for Max as well and yet the film doesn't really do anything with that because of the fact the all of the characters relationship with max isn't all that well developed in this film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty four minuets and four seconds. Which is a really solid running tie for this film to have as this really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time and with the extra running time the film does take the time to fully develop it's story as best that it really could have done but at the same time tho this film really didn't need to be that long as the subplot really isn't all that interesting and it just comes across as giving the rest of the series main cast something to do as those scenes for the vast majority of the films running time don't connect to the main plot of the film and as a result of that is the fact that those scenes really could have been cut out from the final cut of the film as they really do add nothing to the overall plot of the film with the rest of the series main cast being better integrated into the main plot instead of just having them off in a side plot which would be fine for an episode of the show but here in a movie it's not something that really works all that well and it is something that really does ruin the flow of the movie as well as the main plot would just be getting good but then it cuts to the subplot for no reason other then to hit home the fact that Theresa and Jerry still don't know each other something that they really don't need to keep on telling us the audience but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is comedy that really does mean that I Gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this veery film was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the problem as alot of this films comedy really isn't all that good either with alot of the films jokes being very hit and miss at best which is something that really does make alot of sense given not only when this film was released but also who this films main target audience is as well and heck the film even try to has a running joke all just to get harper out of a scene where when things get to tense for her she would just "well bye" and that's really it and it's something that really works because it's not really a funny joke and all it does is just serve as a way to get Harper out of a scene when they don't really need to do that as they already have a built in joke from the show with her family being a family of oddballs so they could have just mentioned them doing something odd and crazy and it would have worked just as well but when this film does tell a good joke when they really want to like for example Max summoning goats instead of tigers it can be a really joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall out of this film and The Wizards Return: Alex Vs. Alex reunion special this is quite easily the better of the two as it did show us things from the show like the family competition for example and it did take the time to develop it's characters which is something that they really didn't need to do in this film thanks to them being fully developed in the show in my freaking opinions anyways /at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for 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 pf the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page ad Google Images.With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
