The Mask: Animated Series "The Mask Is Always Greener On The Other Side" Parts 1 AND 2 Review


To say that the nineties had alot of superhero and comic book related animated shows out would be a huge understatement. As such it would be understandable if people just straight up forgot about one or two shows or didn't even k now that the show that they were watching is actually based off of comic book with this show being one that's kind of been lost to the sands of time as you don't really see it being talked about all that much and so then join me as I review the episode that saw another Jim Carrey character start it's own animated series with the two part episode in question being called simply just "The Mask Is Always Greener On The Other Side" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is fed up of The Mask causing him trouble Stanley Ipkiss finally decides to get rid of it once and for all only for him to realise that he may need it once again when an evil doctor starts terrorising Edge City looking for The Mask. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes being not that bad but at the same time the plot for both of these episodes really could have been alot better as for those of us that saw the movie they would know that at the end of the Stanley already got rid of The Mask and yet here he is with it again with no reason given and while yes it could be argues that Milo gave The Mask to Stanley at the end of the movie this is still something that should have been addressed in these episodes with the plot not even being epic enough to warrant being a two parter as you very easily could have told the plot of both of these episodes in just one episode and heck there's nothing in both of these episodes that fully justifies being a two parter as all that does is make the vast majority of part one feel like filler that's only there so that they could justify putting those scenes in the intro and not because there actually relevant to the plot of these episodes with the plot of these very episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes is voice acting legend Rob Paulsen as Stanley Ipkiss and voice acting legend Frank Welker as Milo and Baby Forthwright. Also starring in these episodes is voice acting legend Tress MacNeille as Mrs. Peenman , Heidi Shannon as Peggy Brandt , Tim Curry as Doctor Pretorius , voice acting legend Kevin Michael Richardson as Mayor Mitchell Tilton , Mark Taylor as Charlie Schumaker , Neil Ross as Mitch Kellaway and voice acting legend Jim Cummings as Doyle.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes being alot better then what it really had any right to be. As by all rights the acting in these first two episodes really shouldn't have been as good as it was as the acting in shows that are based off f movies and comic books typically aren't that good and yet that's exactly what we got in both of these episodes as not only do none of the characters that are playing characters from the film NOT do impressions of the films actors which allows them to really make the characters there own but all of this episodes actors also turn in some really good performances in there own right which is something that really does make alot of sense when you take into account that alot of this episodes actors are a bunch of voice acting legends who are mostly still acting to this very day but that they are also just a bunch of really good actors in there own right as well with the true standout performer in this episode being Rob Paulsen as he not only has to create a very distinctive voice for Stanley Ipkiss but also do the exact same for The Mask and yet still turn in a good performance and he does so effortlessly with the acting that's in these episodes not really being helped by the fact that the script for these episodes is really bad as it gives none of these episodes actors 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 these very episodes.


Doing the animation for these episodes is Cuckoo's Nest Studios and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Wang Film Productions Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good and was just like the acting in the episodes in that it was alot better then what it really had any right to be but at the same time tho you could tell that this show didn't have a big animation budget as there aren't that many people walking around on the streets and the animation looses alot of detail during certain in episodes one which does add an air of cheapness to the episode which is something that does make sense as you have to spread your animation budget out over several episodes but at the same time you only get one chance to make a good first impression that's something that these episodes don't get the chance to do from an animation standpoint as they both just like the kind of show that would only air in the nineties where as comic book shows such as X-Men: The Animated Series and Batman: The Animated Series look like they were made a few years ago where with both of these episodes you can tell right away that this really was a nineties show due to the dated and at times rather cheap looking animation in both of these episodes.


What this show has both working for it and against it is the fact that it's more based off of the comics then the film. This is something that does work both for and against these episodes as it does allow for these episodes to use villains like Walter who never appeared in the film but at the same time due to the fact that this a kids show that also borrows elements from the movie it also works against these episodes as well as it creates a show that doesn't know what it wants to be as these episodes could have a really hard hitting scene that would feel right at home in the comics and then they'd end it on a joke that feel right at home in the movie with nothing inbetween the two thus creating tonal whiplash and it sometimes go the other way around as well with them having a more light hearted scene but then that would feel at home in the movie but then get more serious and adult like in the comic with the best example of this being in the opening to Part One where Mrs. Peenman yells at Stanley for thinking to loud which is something that would work in the movie but then when she leaves Stanley goes to his closet and threatens to put on The Mask so that he "take care of her" in a threatening way which is something that would have worked in the comics which were more adult and more violent then the movie version ever was and yet there's nothing inbetween the two to ease you into it and both of the episodes are like that and it gives the impression that the makers of this show wanted to please both the fans of the movie and the fans of comic book instead of creating a pair of solid episodes that really could have stood on there own with the audience having to have seen the movie or read any of the comic books.

As a comedy these two episodes do work really well as there are alot of painfully moments in both of these episodes. With Part One even kind of putting there own spin on the gag of Milo mishearing what Stanley want him to do from the movie only here instead him getting the police keys to let Stanley out of jail he licks his own lock that Walter put him in which was a cute little throwback joke as was the fact that near the end of Part Two they have Milo put on The Mask again which was another cute throwback to the movie but where both of these episodes shine is them doing jokes that's unique to the series as that's when they get to take full advantage of the fact that it's an animated series and so the jokes just become more wild and zany as The Mask himself who was already a cartoon character in the movie can now be even more wild and zany with his jokes but with that being said tho alot of the jokes in these episodes haven't aged as well as they could have done like the fact that alot of the wordplay between Stanley and Charlie just isn't that funny and Peggy off handedly mentioning the fact that she turned him into a bunch of Mobsters in the movie just isn't that funny either as all it does is remind you that you could be watching and the second that she makes that joke it then makes you wonder how Stanley got The Mask back from the end of the movie in the first place but when these episodes do tell a good joke it can be really funny joke with alot of thee episodes best jokes rather rightfully coming from The Mask himself.


This episodes main villain Doctor Pretorius is a really fun character and while he is of course played beautifully by Tim Curry. The character as a whole just isn't that interesting nor is he really that threatening in these two episodes with him not really doing anything all that threatening for the vast majority of either episode until near the end of episode two when he decides to take over the robot house and that Charlie and Stanley are trying to clean up and that's really it heck Walter is more threatening main villain for these two episodes as he's literally an unstoppable machine that is something that's perfect for the opening villain of a kids TV show as it then forces the main hero to have to think outside of the box to try and defeat there foe where as with Doctor Pretorius you don't really have to do that as all you have to do is just outsmart him once and you've got him beat which is a shame because the idea of a mad scientist who is so crazy and smart that he figured out a way to detach his own head from his body and have the two of them not only be alive but act independently of each other is a good and to the episodes credit it does take full advantage of that idea but at the same time tho that idea doesn't make the character threatening as all it does is prove that he's a super smart character and that's really it and while that is indeed a good thing you main villain also has to have some sort of menace about them so much so that you actually fear for the heroes life and want to see the main hero succeed because of it and that's something that's sadly missing from Doctor Pretorius.

Now then episode one has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and five seconds whilst episode two has / had an exact gran total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and three seconds. With both running time pretty much being the bogstandard running time for alot of nineties kids animated TV shows to have but this episode really doesn't have alot of plot there to fully cover two episodes as the main plot of both the episodes episodes doesn't really kick in until about the half way point of Part One and even then is filled with padding that it makes it feel like that this episode was originally meant to be just the one episode but for one or another it ended up getting an extra episode when it really doesn't need it as there's nothing about this episode that screams that it needs to be a two parter and yet because it now is a two parter that means that part one for the most part feels like a trailer for part two as nothing that's set up in part one doesn't get payed off in part two this is a good example for the plot should always dictate how many episodes that it should be as really there's only enough plot for one episode and if these episodes were condensed into the one episode we end up with an episode that has a much more better focus on it's plot and where every single scene is about advancing it's plot and where no scene feels like filler or padding but I really will admit this episode really does gave 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 these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As this is still a kids comedy show and so the action can't be as good as it is in say Batman: The Animated Series for example and with that in mind the action that we got in these first two episodes was really good and while most of the action does come in episode two we do kind of get a small fight scene near the end of episode one which was really fun even tho it was just Peggy trying to get Stanley out of the device that Doctor Pretorius put him in it was still a pretty fun scene and while it was right that these episodes save up alot of the action for the second episode it still would have been nice if episode one had more then one fight scene as while yes there is a scene at the start of episode with The Mask trying and failing to stop a bunch of bank robbers that's more of comedy scene then it is an action with the best action in both of these episodes being the final showdown between The Mask and Doctor Pretorius as that's when we get to see this episode really just go all in on the craziness that The Mask as a character does bring and because of that we do get a really fun filled action sequence as well with the action in episode two also being really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall out of this show Dumb And Dumber and the Ace Venture animated series with all three even premiering in the same year with this show ending it's run in 1997 Dumb And Dumber ending it's run in 1996 and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective ending it's run in 2000 and heck even this show and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective even had a two part crossover on each others show but this is the only one of those shows that feels like that it was taking full advantage of the fact that it's an animated show and while these two episodes aren't that good of a start to the show they do leave plenty of room for the show to grow and to improve as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as being as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very review and such that really does mean that these first episodes really do earn themselves a grand total combined score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Mask fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the really great the official The Mask 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 these very episodes 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 The Mask fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Robot Wars" Review


It's been a good few months since anything from Mystery Science Theater 3000 was covered and well then I thought that now was the right time to a look back at another episode from this show. With this episode seeing the crew cover a movie that not alot of people know about whilst also introducing something new and different for the show as a whole and so then join me as I review the episode that see's Jonah , Tom and Crow riff a movie about giant robots with the movie and episode in question being called simply just "Robot Wars" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is with the Gizmoplex in ruins and them in debt Kinga and Max get advice from there investor which will have consequences for one unlucky soul. 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 feature / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this episodes plot is one that weirdly isn't given alot of focus which is something that does standout for this show as when the show does do something that advances it's plot even a little bit then it gives it alot of focus and yet with this episode it gets mentioned once at the start of the episode and is brought up again at least once more during the episode and that's really it when it's something that should have been mentioned and referenced alot more as it is something that does have a huge impact on the plot of this season and yet it felt like that it was an afterthought and while that might have worked for something that doesn't effect either the plot of the season or the plot of the show as then it could be seen as being a throwaway episode here tho it is something that does effect the plot of the season and to a lesser extent the plot of the show as a whole as well and it therefor should have been given a bit more attention just to make the plot of this episode feel a bit more fully developed then what it already is 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 this episodes director and co-writer Jonah Ray as Jonah Heston and Hampton Yount as the voice of  Crow T. Robot. Also starring in this episode is Baron Vaughn as the voice Tom Servo and Dr. Kabahl , The Guild creator and star Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max , Rebecca Hanson as GPC and Synthia , Emily Marsh as Emily Connor  and the shows creator Joel Hodgson as Ardy.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which is something that's to be expected from this show as alot of the actors that are in this episode aren't trained actors with there only being two trained actors in the whole episode and that's really it and as such it's from those two actors that we get some of the best acting in this episode with the acting from Jonah , Hampton and Baron being passable at best which does work out as they've been playing there character for years at this point in time with the acting from Felicia and Patton being alot better which is something that does make sense as they are trained actors and so of course there acting would be better but at the same time tho and actor can only be as good as there actor and even tho this is Jonah's first time directing anything he really doesn't know how to get that good of a performance out of his actors which is something that might improve over time as he does direct the overall majority of the episodes in this season it is something that stands out in a negative way in this episode with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors 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 episode.


This episode does something that hasn't been done since season 5 of this show and that's introduce the character who would be a host in the next episode. With the end of this episode showing Emily arriving to help build the Simulator Of Love something that in the very net episode she'd find herself trapped on for the rest of the season and this is a good way to set up who the new host without getting rid of the previous host and it's something that does open the door for other characters to come on in and host an episode of the show and not have to get rid of whoever is hosting the show at that time as you could very easily explain that whoever the main bad guy that season is just wanted to torture someone else for a change or that the current host is busy doing something else and they'd still be able to cause someone some form of pain with this being something that really could have worked for the show moving forward since if the show wasn't able to get Jonah or any of the hosts back for future episodes they could just say that the host was already to begin with and it work either way and while we don't get much of Emily in this episode as she only appears in the final scene it is something that does show us the audience that she might just be a fun character and as we find out in the next episode is a great addition to the show as a whole as well but it does remain to be seen if she was as good of a host then Jonah was for example.


The movie that the crew are riffing in this episode is the 1993 film Robot Wars from Full Moon Pictures. With the film being the right kind of bad film that the tea behind this show always strive to find as the film does have some really solid picture and sound quality to it but at the same time tho the film is just primed to be made fun off as it is a film that really does look to be just that bad and boring with the film looking like a poor man's version of the Mad Max franchise only with slow and giant stop motion robots that do nothing for the vast majority of the film except to basically serve as a plane and transport people from A to B and that's really it and heck there's barely even a war in this film and so the one half of the films title is a lie and the other half basically not be there as the robots aren't that interesting and given how they look there's a good chance that they might have inspired the giant spider robot from the film Wild Wild West only the robots in this version did it better as they at least came up with the idea idea and have some good looking stop motion work but what really didn't work for this film is the fact that they treat one of the main characters like he's Jesus something that the crew in this episode not only point out quite alot but also take the time to make fun off a well and rightfully so as it is ridiculous but given that this film is made by Full Moon Pictures it's that kind of ridiculousness that's to be expected from all of there film as well.

To give this episode some credit it does spotlight a film that not alot of people would have heard off and while it might not make people want to go out and check the film out for themselves. It is a good thing that they did spotlight a little known film as that then could make people want to see if it's as bad as this episode makes it out to be and speaking off this episode even tho there essential to the plot of the episode both Kinga and Max are absent for a large portion of the episodes running time with the two of them only appearing at the start of the episode to st up the plot of the episode and then again at the end of the episode to set up the cliffhanger with Emily and that's rally it when they should have been in th episode more given that this episode is quite literally about them trying to find a second host and what's worse is that you could have had some good jokes with them quite literally auditioning people to be the second host which just that idea alone would have made for some really funny scenes and yet the episode instead focuses on Jonah and the bots still making skits about the movie that there watching which granted is in keeping with the rest of the show but at the same time tho there should have been a time and a place for stuff like that and given that the plot of this episode is all about introducing a new host having alot of skits with just Jonah and the bots doesn't work in this kind of episode but at the same time tho it's the host segments with Jonah and the bots that are the more fun segments of this whole entire episode with the episode being worth watching just for the host segments alone as there just that good.


Also introduced in this episode is Dr. Kabahl who is a time travelling financier from the future and he is a good addition to the show. As the show could get some milage out of his character and having him just appear out of nowhere and scare people will always be funny as it's always good and funny seeing how he interacts with people it's just a shame that the episode really doesn't anything with his character with him only appearing in the opening on this episode and that's really it when a character that has this much potential could have been given a little bit more screen time and while him having already met Max in the future is a funny idea as it does show that he does history with the character they don't really go into that history in this episode with him only mentioning that he's already met Max in the future as part of a joke and that's really it but at the same time tho his costume is a bit stupid even for this show as it's just a bunch of black clothing a giant black something on his head that is so fake that you can actually see it move during some scenes in this episode while this season really didn't have a huge budget once you remove the fact that they had to get the rights to show all of the films this season the fact that they really couldn't afford a decent looking costume for this new recurring character really does add an air of cheapness to the how as a whole as while the show was always made very cheaply they still always managed to have some really impressive costumes that made the show look more expensive then what it was something that just isn't true not only for Dr. Kabahl but for this season as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty three minuets and forty three seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show to have and while the episode really doesn't have enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time that's not really a fault of this episode as its something that could also be said for alot of this shows episodes as well and to to this episodes credit when this episode does indeed focus on it's main plot it does make it count by giving us information that is either important to the plot of this episode or important to the plot of this season as a whole but at the same time tho this episode really could have used it's running time just a little bit better by giving us either some more information of Emily or some more information on Dr. Kabahl as well either of which would have worked as there both characters who appear n multiple episodes of this season and yet at the exact same time tho it's that very reason why this episode most likely didn't give us any information on them in this episode because they do appear in more episodes and heck Emily is even the host of multiple episodes and so alot of the background information on her character does indeed come out during those episodes and those scenes would feel alot like filler in this 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 a comedy that really does mean 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 not that bad as the episode does have some good jokes in it. However tho at the same time tho this episodes comedy really isn't as good as it really good been with alot of the jokes that the crew make during the movie just not being that funny or are filled with missed opportunities with alot of the episodes best jokes coming from the host segments like the fact that in one segment the bots wonder what the city in Robot Wars would look like in the nineties and Jonah straight up shows them using alot of nineties slang and catchphrases which was a really joke and was easily the best joke of the episode as it was something that really did catch you off guard and it makes you wonder why alot of the episodes jokes weren't as good as that one was and while there some clever jokes in there like the fact that Jonah and the bots event seasonings that are based off of classic romantic comedies complete with pun titles but sadly tho the episode has alot more jokes in it then it does good ones and that is something that does prevent this episode from being as funny as it really could have been but when this episode does tell a funny joke it is and could be a really funny joke as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst this episode did indeed show some promise and had all of the potential to be a really good and a really funny episode of the show the fact that it lacked focus on it's plot and a lack of actually funny jokes both combine to make this episode not as good as it really could have been or even perhaps should have been either with this episode being nothing more then an above average episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as being 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 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 Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com 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 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 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 Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Dukes Of Hazzard "Daisy's Song" Review


Classic TV shows are ones that don't seem to get alot of love from today's generation as there more interested in what's new rather then what came before it. As such since it was just about a year ago when I last talked about anything from The Duke Of Hazzard TV series it only made sense that I once again go back to that well to remind you all that this great TV show does really exist and was once a thing that many people loved and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the dukes tackle the issue of piracy in the music industry with the episode in question being called simply just "Daisy's Song" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after she sends in her one of her songs to a music publishing company Daisy , Bo and Luke find out that the whole thing was scam and set about getting her money only to stumble on something much more bigger then that. 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 as it was just as simple enough that you could very easily follow along with it which is something that is very in keeping with the shows other plots as well but at the same time tho this episodes plot really isn't as good as it really could have been either as it makes the main characters look dumb at quite a few points in the episode which yes they do explain away in a way that makes sense alot of the time but the fact that they still do it is huge knock on the episode and the plot itself really isn't as fully developed as it really could have been either which again is in keeping with the show and the shows other plots as well but is still something that prevents the plot from being a great with this episode having a more interesting subplot as well 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 Tom Wopat as Luke Duke , John Schneider as Bo Duke and Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke. Also starring in this episode is Denver Pyle as Uncle Jesse Duke , James Best as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane , Sorrell Booke as Boss Jefferson Davis Hogg , Ben Jones as Cooter Davenport , Sonny Shroyer as Enos Strate , Ronnie Schell as Lester Starr , Ginny Parker as Mabel , Clayton Landey as Max , Terry Browning as Ruby , Candy Bleick as Dodie , Wallace Merck as Jojo , Bill Gribble as Carson , Roy Tatum as FBI Agent 3 , Wallace Wilkinson as FBI Agent 1 , Bob Cleveland as FBI Agent 2 and Waylon Jennings as The Balladeer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in tis 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 alot better then what it really had any right to be. As this show really wasn't known all that well for having good acting in it this is despite the fact that Denver Pyle was a really good actor and yet in this episode we get a ton of really solid performances from alot of the shows main leads as while yes there are still some stilted performances from the likes of John Schneider for example given that this episode was only the shows second ever episode and so of course the acting in this episode won't be as good as it would be in later episodes or even the two reunion movies for that matter and yet when we do get some really good acting it not only stands out a mile because of how good that it was but it also helps to elevate whatever scene that it's with the best example of this being a scene with Denver Pyle and Catherine Bach where he's just giving her some advice and it's such a heartwarming scene that on paper could sound cheesy and come across as being such but because of the acting from the two of them it comes across as being really genuine with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be which is something that really does help to lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


The episode "villain" Lester Starr was easily one of the more entertaining aspects of the episode as he's just so slimly and campy that it does make him fun to see in any of his scenes. However tho and rather rightfully the episode really doesn't spend alot of time developing his character which whilst it is still a bad thing it's also something that's to be expected not only of this show but alot of TV shows as well as there going to be more focused on the heroes rather then they are the guest villains of the episode and that's what Lester Starr is he's a guest villain for this episode and there for while it would have been nice to see him become a more fully rounded character it also wouldn't have been the wisest of things either and yet even tho he's not that fully rounded out as a character he is still a really enjoyable character with it being obvious from his first scene that actor Ronnie Schell really does know exactly what kind of show that he's in and is there for just going to fun with this character and there for plays him like his the main villain in a pantomime which is perfect for this show as this is show that particularly during it's first season wasn't a big hit with critics and even the makers of the show admitted that they were making something terrible but that they were going to make it the right kind of terrible and because of that alot f the actors playing the villains got to really ham it up and just have fun with there roles was the case with the villain in this episode and it's something like that that did make Lester Starr out to be a really fun filled character in his own right.


This was also the episode that introduced that fact that Daisy had dreams of becoming a big star which in this case involved her songwriting. This was a good idea but at the same time tho it's one that very few if none of the other episodes in this show followed up on which is a shame because you really cold have gotten a nice little character arc going for Daisy and yet it just seemed like that the show abandoned it for no reason whatsoever and yet it's because of that subplot that we got some of the best scenes in the episode be it Daisy pretending that she's performing to a large audience when the the dukes go to visit the manager a famous country star or the fact that she out worldly admits to Uncle Jessie that she now doesn't know how to feel about her dreams because of how much trouble that her dreams have caused the family and we could have gotten more beautiful scenes like that if the show kept that aspect of her character intact and it's something that might have even helped the show when it started to slip in ratings during it's fifth season and yet the show didn't keep that aspect of the character intact thus making those scenes in this episode feel pointless as they were just going to reset the status quo at the end of the episode anyways and while yes doing that is something that's done all of the time in sitcoms it's very rarely if ever done in action comedy shows like this one and it is something that while it doesn't hurt the episode in anyway shape or form it is however something that makes you wonder the the makers of this show bothered to include it in this episode if the intention was to always rest the status quo at the end of each episode.

For some reason this episode really wanted to treat Bo and Luke look dumb as when they are tailing Lester who is also being tailed by the FBI. The boys get caught by Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and during the cause of getting away from him they loose Lester and thus Daisy and yet it takes them talking to Cooter to realise that instead of asking around to see if anyone has seen Lester they could just ask if anyone has seen the FBI's car instead which is something that they knew about as the openly commented on it in the previous scene which made them look even dumb if the makers of the episode wanted them to ask Cooter for help then have them not realise that there being followed by the FBI that way the characters don't get made to look dumb and yet still get to have the characters asking for help and while this show is pretty much known for it's bad writing here it felt really bad as they just made there own main characters look dumb all for the sake of including another side character from the show and that's really it and that's not a good enough to do something like that especially if it comes at the expense of your main characters and while this show never really did take it's characters all that seriously it did somewhat treat it's main characters seriously and that is something that makes it all the more weirder that they would include something like this in this episode and it is something that does harm the episode as a whole.


With the show being more of an action comedy it does make sense to talk about the comedy aspect of this episode. Which to but it bluntly wasn't all that good which is something that does make alot of sense as this show was made with country people in mind and would there for have alot of jokes geared towards them but at the same time tho the jokes do still ned to be good and while this episode does have alot of cute jokes in it there's nothing that's laugh out loud funny even the banter the between The Dukes and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane which is usually comic gold here just felt awkward and forced which does lead to the impression that this might have been the first episode that was filmed which is something that might account for alot of the awkward jokes in this episode but at the same time tho a bad joke will always be a bad joke and it might just have been that this shows writer and the shows creator GY Waldron might not have been able to come up with anything funny for The Dukes and Roscoe to say to each other in this episode which is fair enough you can't expect a writer even a good one to be funny every single time but what you can do is hope that they give us something that will at the very least raise a smile out of us the audience which is something that does happen in this very episode but at the same time this episode really could have dine with having less cute jokes and more actually funny jokes as those are the jokes that people will remember where as the cute jokes will be forgotten about right a way.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty nine minuets and one second. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show to have in the first place and to this episodes credit it really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time yet even with that in mind this episode really doesn't take as full advantage of it's running time as it really could have done as the plot of the episode isn't as developed as it really should have been and it's guest characters aren't as developed as they really could have been either and while yes the makers of the show openly admitted that they were making a bad show that still doesn't mean that you can't develop your plot and your guest characters as your main character will always get developed over the course of the show and so you don't really have to focus on developing them all that much but what you do have to do is focus on developing your plot so that it feels like the events in the plot are natural and organic and you have to develop your guest characters so that us the audience can either love or hate them and while the episode does have a good villain in Lester Starr even he's not that fully developed as a character with us the audience not really getting the chance to find out anything about him as a character which is fine for a villain like Boss Hogg as he's a main character of the show and so he would get development over the course of the show but for Lester who is only in this episode he should have been developed a little bit more something which the episode very easily could have done given it's running time but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is ana action show that really does mean that I gave 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 tat the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. However tho at the same time this episodes action wasn't all that good either as it just boiled down to who can hit who the hardest first and that's really it and while that is something that's to expected in this show it is also something that makes the action in this episode feel a bit boring as the episode only has really one action in it with Bo and Luke tricking and then beating up Lester's henchmen / bodyguard Jojo and that's really it and while it's not unusual for this show to have just the one fight scene in it what is unusual is the fact that they don't have that good of a chase scene with the chase scene in this episode being the FBI chasing The Dukes around a junkyard and that's really it and given just how small that junkyard is there's no way that you could have gotten a good car chase scene from that setting which is a shame as a it did have the potential to be a really fun action scene it just needed a bigger setting so that both of the cars would be able to do more stuff in it and that's really it but as things stand this episode really doesn't have a true standout action scene in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this was a really fun episode at times it was also an episode that could have been alot better then what it was and while the episode does have alot of sweet scenes in it with Daisy's dream of being a writer being followed up on in the season three episode "By-Line, Daisy Duke" it is something that felt like a wasted aspect of the character but it still was something that led to some really sweet scenes in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn 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 hat I personally used in this very review from the official The Dukes Of Hazzard fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com 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 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 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 Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Stripperella "Beauty And The Obese" Parts 1 And 2 Review


When you think of Stan Lee you usually think of good quality superheros who have stood the test the time and when the think of Pamala Anderson you think of Baywatch. These two people really shouldn't have come up with a show together and yet in the early to mid 2000's that's exactly what happened with the end result being the very thing who's debut two episodes i'm going to be reviewing for you all today and so then join me as I review the episode just by the title alone lets you know how bad they are with both of the episodes in question being called simply just "Beauty And The Obese" enjoy.

The plot of these two two episodes is when models suddenly quite literally start blowing up it's up Erotica Jones under the guise of her superhero alter ego Stripperella to find out who is causing these models to blow up and stop them 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 these first two episodes well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not as good as it's could but also not as bad as it really should have been either as by all rights the plot of these first two episodes should have been really painfully bad and it is but because of the fact that the show has this really campy tone where it knows that it's bad and is just going to have fun with it then the plot of these first two episodes does come off as being alot better then what it really had any right to be but at the same time a bad plot will always be a really bad plot and that's exactly what these first two episodes have as it doesn't set up anything that any new superhero show about a brand new superhero really should set up instead it just jumps head first into a nonsensical story with the plot of these first episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is Pamela Anderson as Erotica Jones / Stripperella and Dee Bradley Baker as Ozzy , A Baby and A Business Man , Jon Cryer as Dave and Clifford , Mark Hamill as Narisec Roctod , Dr. Cesarian , A Coroner and A Drunken Slob , Sirena Irwin as Persephone and Cliche , Tom Kenny as Kevin Calhoun , Kid Rock as Stiffy Woods , Maurice LaMarche as Chief Stroganoff , Leonard , DJ , Zumo , Bohemian Guy , Woody Allen and Guy , Jill Talley as Enorma Ray , Kather Lee G , A Receptionist and Margo Van Winkle , Tom Wilson as A Director and Tom Green.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about rh actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. However at at the same time it's also quite clearly not all that good either which is something that totally makes sense when you take into account that it's main actress really can't act but what was surprising was seeing just how many famous voice actors where in these episodes and while they do indeed turn in passable performance with the same thing also being true for Pamela Anderson as well she is also the the very thing that causes the acting to take a dip in quality as to be frank she's not all that good of an actress and while no one could save the sinking ship that was this show these first two episodes really should have had some really good acting in them even if it's just to let the audience think that the show will be actually good with the acting that's in these first two not really being helped by the fact that the script or these first two episodes was really bad as it gives none of these episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does lower the overall quality of the acting that's in these first two episodes.


Doing the animation for these first two episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Sunmin Image Pictures Co.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty i in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not really all that bad as there was a quite a clear amount of actual effort and love put into the shows animation but at the same time tho the animation does look cheap looking which does make sense as this show was produced by POW! Entertainment but at the same time tho there really should have been alot more money purred into this shows animation as it's all well and good having all of these big names come in to voice a character or two but at the end of the day it's the animation that will stick with people and it's the animation that people will remember from this show and while the episodes director Kevin Altieri does make the best use of the shows animation that he really could have done even he can't save this shows animation from being nothing more then OK at best and while the show does tend to stick to being 2D there a few CGI scenes in the episodes which don't look that bad but that might be because of the fact that they were actually done by a Nickelodeon company called Nick Digital with the episodes animation also giving all of the characters some really nice and fluid movements to them as well.


For some strange reason this show and these episodes have elements of the Bond films in them like the fact that Erotica has all of these gadgets and the fact that she works for a secret government agency. None of which make a tone of sense as these first episodes really don't explain why she needs these gadgets in the first place and nor does it explain why she works for a secret government agency which would technically make her a spy and not a superhero but the having the gadgets things that does make sense given that she doesn't really have any kind of superpowers of her own but the first episode really should have have explained not only what these gadgets are but also what they do so then we the audience will be fully aware that she has them and can use them in any given situation heck take the Bond films for example they openly have scenes where they set u each and every gadget that Bond is going to use and since this is a two part episode then they could have done something similar but the episode really thought that it was a wise move to instead focus on a pointless subplot about a another stripper going and meeting her conjoined boyfriend brother for the first time something which they also never explain nor do they tie it into the main plot either it's just something that actively takes away from the main plot rather then adding to it and it's that kind of writing that really does make show feel dumb but not for all of the right reasons but rather its for all of the wrong reasons say what you will about Rick And Morty but that show at least has good writing behind it this show doesn't even have that going for it.

Usually when people say that this is an adult cartoon it usually means that you get one maybe two swear words in the whole entire episode. Where as here you get alot of flesh thrown at your face in quite literally every single scene which is a great is fourteen year old boy but it's not something that works for this show or these episode either as all they do is hold them back and limit how good they could be as it feels like the that makers of show who also wrote these first two episodes saw that they had Pamala Anderson in the main cast decided just to make it a fourteen year old boys dream show and yet because of that the show is adult for all of the wrong reasons and these first two episodes do come across as being very cheesy and very predictable as all your left doing is waiting for either the next cleavage shot or the next butt shot to come on and that's really it and a show like this and these first two episodes could have bee alot better heck even the premise of these of these first episodes of models getting fatter and blowing up could have been used to shine a light on societal expectations on women not only in the entertainment industry and yet because it's more focused on delivering a product that the typical fourteen year old boy would never be allowed to watch as it aired at 11pm and SpikeTV we are now left with two episodes that aren't as good as they really could have been and a show that is better left forgotten about.


To the episodes credit they did know to make not only these first two episodes but the show as a whole more of comedy. Which does allow for these first two episodes to have more of a campy tone to them akin to the sixties Adam West Batman TV show but at the same time tho even that show knew to have actually good jokes in them or to at the vert lest go all the way with it's ideas and not include a pointless and unfunny subplot that only makes it characters seem more dumb then what they already are as that is something that happens in these first two episodes with all of the episodes jokes being the kind of jokes that a fourteen year old boy would find edgy but the rest of us would find grown inducing at best like the fact that Erotica's secret agent number is 0069 for example and while there is a few decent jokes in these first two episodes like a blind man going to a strip club complete with someone there telling him exactly what's going on is a funny and good idea but these episodes don't go all the way with there funny ideas and sets ups and so all we are left with is a bunch of a unfunny jokes that a fourteen year old boy would find funny and the only good jokes in the episode not being pushed as far as they actually could have done to make them even funnier both of which are things that do stop these first two episodes from being as enjoyable as they really could have been with even the idea of the villain for these first two episodes having alot of backstories which again is a funny idea but the episode does nothing with it outside of using it for one joke near the end of the episode where he explains his backstory to Erotica and it's just every single cliche villain backstory that you could think off all rolled into one which would have been funnier if these first two episodes went all in on that very idea but they don't so we're just left with yet another undercooked funny idea in an otherwise unfunny pair of episodes.

Now then episode one has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly nineteen minuets and fifty three seconds and episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly nineteen minuets and thirty one seconds. With this kind of plot really needing at the very least one more episode to fully do it justice as the first episode of this show really does have alot of things to set up and it can't do all of that and still tell a really compelling storyline in such a short amount of time and while adding more episode to this story might not fix all of it;s issues it will allow for the show to at the very least get across what the characters personalities really are meant to be and it will allow for the plot overall to become more fully developed since as things stand neither of which can happen as the episodes have to reach the next plot point and do so at such incredible speed that it doesn't feel that it's organic with it feeling like that things are only happening because of the fact that the plot demands it and not because it's something that the characters would do and those are things that would be fixed if this plot had one more episode to told instead of cramming in what is very easily three episodes worth of plot into two episodes as the plot of the episode should always dictate how long it should be and here the plot is just screaming for one episode and yet the makers of this show just stuck with it being a two parter for no reason whatsoever but I really will admit that these first two episodes really do ave some really bad pacing to them to.


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As the episodes action was perfectly in keeping with the shows more campy tone but at the same time tho this episodes really could have been more over the top and more campy then what it really was as this is a show where going more over the top and going into those more campy areas would only serve to help the show and to help the show become more memorable because of it with a good example of this being the fact that the episode villain Dr. Cesarian is defeated by having his own injections purred into him thus making parts of his body get fatter which is a really campy thing to do but it's the only time when the action in both of these first two episodes gets really campy as even the first scene that we see Stripperella in she's saving a baby from a lion and tiger and yet the episode doesn't do anything fun or funny with that set up it just has her get the baby and get out and then have a word with the Zookeeper because the pay area is literally on top of the Lion Pen and that's really it which isn't fun nor funny and yet it's something that these first two episodes could have done if it was something that they wanted because of the fact that this show is a comedy and so that means that it cold really go to those campy places and just have fun with itself as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall it really is something when you make Barb Wire another Pamala Anderson led hero project look good by comparison with these first two episodes being nothing more then OK at best and it's not hard to see why this show was not only cancelled after thirteen episodes but has also been mostly forgotten about as well as it really is just that bad and just that bland of a show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very review and as such that really does mean that these first episodes really do earn themselves a combined grand total 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 all of the images that I personally use in this very review from the official Stripperella fandom wiki page , the official James Bond fandom wiki page , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes 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 these very episodes 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.

Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery Film Review


Pro Wrestling and Cartoons are things that have been together since the eighties when the WWE then the WWF released Hulk Hogan Rock N Wrestling and in the mid to late 2010's Vince McMahon thought that it would be a good idea to do a crossover movie with a few Warner Bros and one Sony Pictures cartoon. With the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being the first of these crossover films to be released and so then join me as I review the film that sees the Mystery Inc gang team up with WWE superstars with the film in question being called simply just "Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Shaggy and Scooby win a trip to WWE City and free Wrestlemania tickets they along with Fred , Velma and Daphne get caught up in a mystery surrounding a bear one which only the WWE superstars can help solve. 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 as it is the kind of plot that you'd expect a movie like this one to have but at the same time tho the movie does pull it off and does have fun with it's plot which does make what could be seen as being a predictable set up seem somewhat less predictable and while the plot of the film isn't as fully developed as it really good have been for a film whose sole purpose is to get more eyes on the WWE brand the films plot was alot more enjoyable and alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this films plot should have been really painfully bad and yet what we end up with is a film whose plot is the kind of plot that you'd expects from a film like this one to have and because of it us the audience can just sit back and relax and watch a film with what is rather admittedly a rather dumb plot with the plot of 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 Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Fred Jones , Mindy Cohn as Velma Dinkley and Grey DeLisle Griffin as Daphne Blake. Also starring in this film is Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers , Charles S. Dutton as Cookie , Mary McCormack as Ms. Richards , John Cena as Himself , April Jeanette Mendez as AJ Lee , Anthony Carelli as Santino Marella , Michael Mizanin as The Miz , Paul Levesque as Triple H , Sean Coulthard as Michael Cole , Vince McMahon as Himself , George Murdoch as Brodus Clay , Glenn Jacobs as Kane , Corey Burton as Bayard and Announcer , Bumper Robinson as Ruben and Fred Tatasciore as The Ghost Bear.

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. As the acting from both the regular Scooby-Doo voice cast and the actors not playing the WWE superstars is really good which is to be expected as they are trained actor and in the case of Frank Welker a voice acting legend who has been playing he role of Fred since Scooby Doo Where Are You and the role of Scooby Doo since 2002 but it's when we get to the WWE superstars that the acting quality takes a dip which s of no fault of there's as there not trained actors but at the same time tho all of there performances including John Cena's just feel wooden when all there doing is playing a more heightened version of the character that they play on either Raw or Smackdown and that's really it with the worst actor in this film being without a shadow of a doubt being Vince McMahon who just can't act so why he insisted on being in quite literally all of these crossover movies is astounding as the man cannot act his way out of a paper bag with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors 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 help to lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 


Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Digital eMation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad and like the plot of the film was really alot better then what it really had any right to be as nobody would have blamed the animation staff that were working on this film if they just phoned it in as by all rights this films animation shouldn't look as good as it did and yet we end up with a film where the animation looks really good especially by the standards of a direct to DVD movie with all of the characters having some really nice and fluid movements to them and alot of the characters getting across alot of emotion just from there facial expressions alone but at the same time tho you can still tell that this was a direct to DVD movie as this films animation does look cheap in places like when the film uses CGI animation for things like cars and rocks which just stand out a mile as they look really bad when compared to the films 2D animation which not only looked good for 2014 standards but holds up really well today as well and it really does make you wonder why Warner Bros Animation didn't bother putting this amount of good animation when it came to their Flintstones and WWE crossover movie.


Even tho Sin Cara is without a doubt the main wrestling character in this film the film just can't resist forcing John Cena down our throats. Just to be clear this film came out at a time when WWE was also forcing John Cena down our throats so it might have come from them as they really wanted us the audience to like him as much as they do but here it just felt weird like we can buy Cena training at the side of the road that does make sense but having him jump out of nowhere to save the gang from a rock whilst his theme music plays just felt weird and was to be frank a really laughable moment during a scene where your not meant to be laughing where as with Sin Cara who is meant to be the main wrestling star in this film as he is the one that knows all about The Ghost Bear and even has a past with the creature as well he gets nothing and is forced to be the guy that Cena has to translate as he doesn't speak in the film and while Cena being forced down our throats might work for his fans both during his WWE run and for those that are just a fan of him because of his acting work it's not something that works in this film as it very easily could have been Sin Cara who saved the gang from the rock just by having him jumping around and out of the forest to save them since they make him to this eccentric type of character in the film it is something that would have been in his character to do something like that in a really flashy sort of way.

Something that does work to the films advantage is the fact that the film has Daphne develop a crush on John Cena pretty much right away. Which is something that does get some decent laughs even tho it's meant to be nothing more then something that won't go beyond this movie and the fact that Cena doesn't even no about and just thinks that she's being really helpful and kind and sweet just makes that idea all the more funnier but what doesn't work at all is the fact that everyone in the movie seems to really love WWE for no reason like it would be understandable if it was a few hundred thousand people or even a few million people for that matter but here almost every single character that they show that's watching Wrestlemania really loves WWE which is something that doesn't make sense it's understandable why the people who bought a ticket to watch the event live and in person would like it but not everyone who watches the events on TV especially those people who in a group of friends for example won't always like it either as wrestling is seen as being this very niche thing that you only like as a kid but then grow out of it and there for the WWE to have this huge fanbase that loves everything that they do so much so that they built an entire city with laws and everything just for them whilst it was entertaining t spot all of the hidden easter eggs and secret cameos from wrestlers in those scenes it also just felt weird to see knowing how professional wrestling and how the fans of professional wrestling are treated in the real world by those that don't like it.


For some strange reason alot of these direct to DVD Scooby-Doo movies seem to not bother giving us the audience clues to who is behind the monster of the movie. This is something that the whole entire franchise is built on doing and yet its something that these direct to DVD movies as fun as they can be seem to lack with the same thing also being true for this film as there are no clues pointing as to who the actual man behind the bear even is which means that when it is revelled that's Cookie who's been terrorising WWWE City then it really does come out of nowhere heck it would have made more sense if it was Kane as the film has him act sort of like a villain anyways or even Bayard would have made some sort sense as then you have the motive behind it as he wanted WWE City gone as they were taking up more and more of his land but with Cookie it doesn't make sense even with the motive which is that he felt that his career had ended far to soon and so he took on the guise of the Ghost Bear in order to get the WWE Championship which he never got to held during his career and that's it and while the motive is solid enough to make him the villain quite literally every single thing that we see with the character has him acting in a jovial way to all of the characters with him even helping the gang solve the mystery of the Ghost Bear and so it really makes no sense for him to be the villain of the film and it's something that make it feel like that the writers of this film forgot to include a culprit until the last few pages of the script and so they just threw him in there as the culprit and hoped that nobody would notice how little that makes sense.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty three minuets and forty one seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for alot of these direct to DVD animated Scooby-Doo movies to have in the first place with it really being helped by the fact that this film really does have the absolutely right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time as this is film really don't require that long of a running time in order to fully tell it's story it just needs to be around hour and thirty minuets and that's it and that's exactly what we get in this film and while this film really doesn't use it's running time all that well be developing it's main plot or even it's new characters to it's fullest it could also be argued that the WWE superstars don't really need there characters to be all that developed in this film as they have both raw and Smackdown and the various WWE PPV's to get across what there character is meant to be but at the same time tho this film rally should have developed it's plot even if it's just a little bit more as it's plot is one of the best things that the film has going for it and yet even that just felt like that it was something that made to sell little kids on the WWE product and heck the film even could have used it's running time to actually give us clues as to who the Ghost Bear was instead of pulling something out of thin air at the very last minuet but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean 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 this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film having some really funny meta jokes very early on in the film about how the gang always the exact same clothes everyday anyway and there they really wouldn't need any kind of luggage in the first place which was a really funny as the one where Daphne asks Velma which scarf she thinks that John Cena will like only for it to be the exact same scarf those are some decent jokes and the film is filled to the brim with alot of really cute jokes just like that all throughout the film but at the same time tho it would have been nice if the film had some jokes that made fun of the WWE like for example they could have had Shaggy and Scooby joke about the fact that Kane looks like an evil dentist which granted those that love Scooby-Doo won't get that joke but those that are die hard into the WWE might get that joke and even the joke that Velma isn't into professional wrestling only to have her fall in love with it by the end of the movie is a decent joke even tho that's literally the only kind of joke that they do with her character in both of the WWE and Scooby-Doo cross over movies and the fact that the gang once shaved Scooby Doo just to catch a monster is also a really decent joke and it's one that really does catch you off guard as well as it's just that good of a joke as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall out of the two team up movies that Scooby-Doo and the WWE did this one is easily the better of the two as this one knows exactly who is going to be watching this film and what kind of film that it is and really isn't afraid to be anything more then just a dumb kids crossover movie 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 he bad things that are in his very film in this very review and such that really does mean that this very film really does earn 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 inn this very review well then boys and girls and as well as being ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page , the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and 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 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 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 Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
