He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe 1983 "Diamond Ray Of Disappearance" Review

 


Cartoon fans we are but about a month or so away from the release of the newest He-Man animated series which is being called simply just Masters Of The Universe: Revelation and as such I thought that now was the right time to make a tie in review. However since i've already covered the He-Man and She-Ra animated and the live action Masters Of The Universe movie and it's far to early to be talking about the He-Man and She-Ra christmas special that only left me with one opinion and so join me as I review the the very first episode of the 1983 He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe TV series with the episode in question being called simply just "Diamond Ray Of Disappearance" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Skeletor and his evil minions try to attack Castle Grayskull and Skeletor also makes a bunch of He-Mans allies disappear using a magic diamond and so it's up to He-Man , Teela and Orko to save the day before it's far to freaking late. In terms of what I thought about the actual plot of this episode in all honesty the actual plot of this episode was at best OK which for a show as cheesy as this is perhaps the best thing that I can say about the plot of episode since nobody goes into He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe expecting a great plot and so it would foolish to expect this episode or even any episode of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe to have a great or even an above average plot to any of there episodes this episode included.


Starring in this episode is John Erwin as Prince Adam / He-Man and Beast Man and Alan Oppenheimer as Skeletor , Man-At-Arms , Cringer and Mer-Man. Also starring in this very / particular episode is Linda Gary as Teela , The Sorceress , Evil-Lyn and Queen Marlena and Erik Gunden as Orko , King Randor and Tri-Klops. For some strange reason only four voice actors from this show appear in this episode and all of them are the shows leading actors and so I have to wonder why weren't more actors brought onto to this show to help fill out the shows cast.

In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this episode is honestly really good. I honestly had no idea what to expect from this episode acting wise since i've in all honesty never seen an episode of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe and so i was left pleasantly surprised by how good the acting in this particular episode was. 


Now I have no idea who did the animation either for this episode or for the show as a whole but knowing that Filmation is not only involved with making this show but that they were also an animation company I have to assume that Filmation did the animation for only this episode but for the show as a whole. As for what I thought about the animation that was featured / presented to us in this particular episode in all honesty I thought that the animation that was featured / presented to us in this particular episode was really good yes it's not groundbreaking and yes it's not perfect by any means but for an early eighties animated TV show the animation that was featured / presented to us in this episode was as good as it perhaps could have been.


This show is the episode was the one thing that She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power wasn't and that's fun. Since for some strange reason even tho She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power has pretty much the exact same premise as both She-Ra Princess Of Power and He-Man Masters Of The Universe it just wasn't a fun show to watch where as this episode in particular knew what it was and it knew to just have fun with it's premise and because of that this episode is very fun to watch.

Most modern cartoons just aren't that interested in being fun and alot of the time the ones that are interested in being fun get bashed by cartoon and animation fans for little to no actual reason. Which to me is baffling since you can have a good show that's light on plot and light on character but still be a good and fun show to watch not every show or movie needs to have a dark and complex storyline and be filled with a dark and complex characters sometimes just being fun is good enough and that is the case with not only this episode but also from this entire show.  


One of the things that I didn't like about this episode is that all of the characters come across as very two dimensional. Like for example all of the heroes are always willing to do what's right but we don't really know why that's the case nor do we find why all of the villains in this episode are evil and so I would have liked it if this episode took the time to tell us why these characters are the way they are even if it's done some clumsily written piece of dialog since it still would have been better then nothing which is what we get here we get nothing.

This episode has a grand total running time of twenty minuets and forty four seconds which I personally felt was the right amount of time for this particular episode. Since there's not much there in terms of actual plot for this episode and so stretching this episode out even to twenty two minuets would have meant that we would have had a lot of scenes are just  filler and would serve no overall purpose to the plot of this particular episode but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.


Now then boys and girls since this show is an action show after all and that means that there is actual action in this episode and that means that I have to talk about the actual action that's scene / featured / presented to us in the / this actual episode itself and well if i'm being honest the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode is kind of a let down for me personally. Since I was expecting to see some over the top campy and cheesy and corny action sequences in this episode and I didn't get that instead what I got was something that felt very watered down which makes sense given that this is a kids show meant to sell toys to little kids but at the same time the makers of this show could have put a bit more effort into creating some fun action sequences to go into this particular episode.


Overall this was a decent first episode and it's one that i'm glad to have finally have seen before the new He-Man animated series comes out this July. Now then since i've talked about both of the good things that are featured / presented to us in this very in this very review and as well as both of the bad things that are featured / presented to us in this very episode in this very review and since I did find quite a few / quite alot of things wrong in this episode that means that this particular episode gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in his very review from the official He-Man And She-Ra fandom wiki page and the official She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power fandom wiki page. With my personal preferred website to use to get images this episode being the official He-Man And She-Ra fandom wiki page just simply due to the fact that pretty much all of the images that are featured / presented to us on the official the official He-Man And She-Ra fandom wiki page are all fairly high quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

My SPOILER Filled First Impressions Of The Live Action Loki TV Series

 


Marvel fans Marvel is really freaking spoiling us with all of these new shows all of whom have all been premiering pretty freaking soon after the previous TV series ended. Well now we have yet another live action TV show from Marvel with the show itself being set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and so join me as I give you my SPOILER filled first impressions of the latest Marvel TV show with the TV show in question being called simply just "Loki" enjoy.

Now then here is where I would normally give the plot of this debut episode and as well as give my thoughts and opinions on the plot of this debut / premier / first episode. However I really have no idea what the actual plot of this episode even is because this episode is so insane that it honestly is really hard for me to work out the actual plot of this episode even is and I honestly really do love this show because of that fact.


Starring in this episode and in the rest of the show is Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer. Also starring in this episode and the rest of the show is Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15 , Eugene Cordero as Casey , Derek Russo as Hunter U-92 , Mumkhshur Bolbaatar as A Gobi Villager , Josh Fadem as Martin , Raphael Luce as French Boy and the legend that is Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius.

As for what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode well in my opinion anyways / at least the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode is really freaking good. With all of the actors that are starring in this episode all do a really good job of portraying their respective characters with a special shout out going to Tom Hiddleston who is just simply to watch in this episode.



Doing the CGI for this particular episode and possibly for this entire show we have FuseFX , Industrial Light & Magic , Lola Visual Effects , Luma Pictures , Method Studios and Stereo D. Now while there isn't that many CGI creatures in this particular episode the exterior backgrounds for most of this episode are fully CGI and it's those CGI backgrounds that I want focus on because you rather rightfully don't notice the CGI in those backgrounds but I honestly do feel that the CGI backgrounds do look good but I will admit that you can tell that they just filmed the actors on a blue screen because the composition just doesn't look right for some reason and yes the one CGI creature that we do get in episode looks good and the overall quality of the CGI is really good in my opinion anyways / at least.

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




Now I wasn't quite sure if this counted as a spoiler or not but since this actress wasn't announced as being apart of this show I thought that it was worth putting her in the spoiler section of this post because lending her voice and joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe we have voice acting legend Tara Strong as The Voice Of Miss Minutes. Honestly I was so shocked to see that Tara Strong aka one of the many voices of Harley Quinn and the voice of Raven from Teen titans and Teen Titans Go among many other things was joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and honestly as a fan of Tara Strong I cannot wait to hear more of her in the Marvel Cinematic Universe / MCU.

As to be expected this show does take place directly after Loki's escape from New York in Avengers: Endgame and yes we do see where Loki went to directly after he escaped from New York in Avengers: Endgame. In all honesty I really like that this show is set when it is because it means that we now get a question answered from Avengers: Endgame with that question being where did Loki end up after he escaped from New York and how does his escape from New York effect this new timeline which judging by what's said in this episode it looks like / as if Loki will at somepoint be returned to New York to set the timeline right but I could be wrong tho.


Now then the character of Loki des actually make a good point in this episode since in this episode the people in the Time Variance Authority capture Loki for supposedly breaking the laws of time and yet while he's being held in court for his alleged crimes he brings up the Avengers time travelling shenanigans. This is honestly a good point and even tho the episode does put in some rules that make what the Avengers were doing seem good it still doesn't change the fact that all of the Avengers broke the current timeline and thus created a new timeline which as stated in this very episode is a very big no no.

I will very much admit that this particular episode did get a few good laughs out of me like the fact that the people in the evidence room use infinity stones as paper weights is a good joke. However this episode leaned far to much on the comedy aspect of the show and not enough telling a good story or even setting up a good which is fine for a first viewing but it also means that this episode isn't going to be very rewatchable since there's very little to no plot about this actual show that's started in this episode and bits of the overall plot that we do infact get aren't given as much attention as they perhaps should have done.

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


This episode really didn't do a good job of setting up what the overall story for this show will be since they only bring up what could possibly be the overall story for this show a few times but even then it's in passing and as such I have no idea what the main story for this show even is. However I will admit that it could be fun seeing Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson just bounce of each other however since this show is only going to be six episodes long I really would have liked it if they started focusing on the main plot of this show right away since they don't have the amount of episodes to justify having filler episodes.

This episode has a total running time of fifty minuets and nineteen seconds which I honestly feel is about the right amount of running time for this episode. Simply because there really isn't a story being told in this episode and as such it would have been pointless to even attemt to make this episode one hour or even longer then one hour long but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.


Now then boys and girls this show is listed as an action show on Wikipedia and on IMDB however there is very little to no action that's actually seen in this very episode. However with that being said however what little action we do get is very passable which I guess is to be expected from but at the same time the action that's been seen in other Marvel Cinematic Universe properties has always been really good and so it's a shame to see the action in this particular episode just be OK at best.


Overall this was a decent debut episode and I can honestly see this show doing rather well but it's very difficult for me to say if this show will get as many die hard fans as Wandavision did tho. Now then i've talked about both of the good and well as both of the bad things that are in this debuting / debut episode in this very post however since these are only my first impressions of this show i will not give this show a rating since any show can have a good first episode just like any show can have a bad first episode and so it wouldn't right or even for me to judge an entire show just based of off the very first episode alone.

As for where I got all of images that I used in this post well then boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen I got all of the images that I used in this very post from Google Images and the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page. With my preferred website to use to get images from this show and this episode being the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page just due to the fact that nearly pretty much all of the images that are on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are al fairly high quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

Sailor Moon Eternal Part 1 Dubbed Film Review

 


Anime fans it's been a long time since i've last spoken about an anime and well as luck would have it there just so happened to be a new two part anime film out this week on Netflix. I want it known right now at the start of this review that just because i'm reviewing part 1 of this film doesn't necessarily mean that i'll watch and review part 2 since yeah this film really didn't make me want to watch part 2 and so join me as I review the film that is actually the first sailor Moon feature length film to be released to Japanese theatres in twenty six years with the film in question being called simply just "Sailor Moon Eternal Part 1" enjoy.

The plot of this film is an evil circus has come to town with all of the circus acts turning peoples dreams into nightmares and so it's up the Sailor Scouts / Sailor Guardians to stop the evil circus before the evil circus takes over the world. In terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this film in all honesty I thought the plot of this film was pretty decent  but at the same time it was hard to make out what the actual plot of the film was since the actual plot of this film is so weak that at times it straight up disappears from the movie and not helping things is the fact that the plot really just feels like something that you'd see in an episode of the show and not something that you'd want to see in a full length theatrically released Sailor Moon movie.


Starring in this film is Amanda C. Miller as Makoto Kino / Sailor Jupiter and Cherami Leigh as Minako Aino / Sailor Venus. Also starring in this film is Cristina Vee as Rei Hino / Sailor Mars  , Kate Higgins as Ami Mizuno / Sailor Mercury , Robbie Daymond as Mamoru Chiba / Tuxedo Mask , Sandy Fox as Chibiusa Tsukino / Sailor Chibi Moon , Stephanie Sheh as Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon , John Eric Bentley as Tiger's Eye , Johnny Yong Bosch as Artemis , Kelly Baskin as Deimos , Kelly Baskin as Deimos and Debi Derryberry as Diana.

As you can no doubt work out by who I have listed as starring in this film and from the actual title of this review I will be basing this review of the dubbed version of this film and so in terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film isn't that bad. Since alot of the actors that are starring in this film are reprising their roles from I believe the Viz Media dub of Sailor Moon and so the actors know what performance would best suit / fit their character and it really does help that the actors that are starring in this film are generally really good actors and are generally really good voice actors. 



Doing the animation for both parts of this two part film are Studio DEEN and Toei Animation and well I honestly did like the animation in this film. Since for me at least in this film visually looked like that it was a huge step up in quality form the animation that we saw in Sailor Moon Crystal and for me to say that is truly shocking because the animation that was featured / presented to us in Sailor Moon Crystal was already really freaking good and so for this movie to have higher quality animation really is a good thing in my opinion any ways / at least.



Now then this film and part 2 of this film are the basically the fourth season of Sailor Moon Crystal which honestly does somewhat explain one of the major issues that I have with this film but i'll get into that later on in this very review. I can honestly see why they wanted to adapt Sailor Moon Crystal for a feature length film since Sailor Moon Crystal was from what I can remember at least a really good show but just because the show itself was good doesn't mean that the movie adaptation of the show is good and sadly this film in my opinion anyways / at least isn't that freaking good but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

I will give this film this it does a good job of making what could be very annoying characters seem somehow actually likeable. Since characters like Chibiusa or even Usagi Tsukino AKA Sailor Moon herself could be very annoying characters if they are in the wrong hands however here I felt that the characters in this film were really written even if you could see each plot point for each respective character coming a mile away.




The tricky task with any TV show that's being turned into a film is that the film adaptation of the TV show has to not feel like an extended episode of the show and that's sadly something is an issue with this film.  Since this film really does feel like an extended episode of Sailor Moon Crystal since this film plot points for each characters seemingly every twenty minuets or so all the while falling into the exact same pitfalls that alot of if not all two part films fall into since this film is basically a feature length trailer for part 2.

This film has a total running time of one hour and twenty one minuets and twenty three seconds and trust me when I tell you that you feel every second of it. Since even tho the pacing of this film is fine with scenes not lasting any longer then they need to what makes this film boring is the repetitive nature of the film's plot and as such I do very strongly feel that if this film had a less repetitive plot then the film could have been very entertaining but as it is I personally found this film to be so freaking dull that it's unreal how dull this film actually was to me personally.


Now then boys and girls this film is listed on IMDB as being an action film and so that means that I have to talk about all of the action that's featured / resented to us in the actual film itself and well if i;;m being honest the comedy and the action that's featured / presented to us in this film are the most entertaining part of this film. Which really isn't saying much since most of this film is pretty freaking dull as a rock in my opinion anyways / at least and so having action that's very entertaining isn't going to be a high bar to reach but sadly there isn't enough action in this action film which is a shame because when we do get an action sequence it is very entertaining.


Overall this was honestly a pretty film in my opinion anyways but at the same time i can see die hard Sailor Moon or even die hard Sailor Moon Crystal fans enjoying this movie but tho just due to how bad I thought that this film was i'm not going to be checking out Part 2. Now then since i've talked about both of the good and as well as both of the bad things that are in this film in this very review that means that this film gets a score of a 5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Sailor Moon fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images just simply due / down to the fact that Google Images has alot of images from this film and alot of the images that are on Google Images are fairly high quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

WWE Bad Blood 2004 Review

 


WWE and wrestling fans i've covered alot of well known wrestling shows however I very rarely cover some obscure wrestling and well now I think it's time that I covert some some wrestling shows that not alot of people know about. Heck just to give you an idea of how little known this show is I actually didn't know that the WWE even ran this show and so join me as I review the 2004 PPV even that is known simply just "Bad Blood 2004" enjoy.

Now I will very fully admit right now boys and girls that I have a very dreadful memory and as such I cannot remember or even have no idea what the storylines that are going on at this time nor can I remember / recall what the storylines are going into this show. This wouldn't be a problem if the WWE told you what the main stories for each match were with video packages and as such this show would be better if you the viewer knew what the storylines going on at the this time were and if you knew what the storylines were going into this particular PPV.


The set for this PPV is something that is rather simple and because of how simple the set for this show is I honestly do like the set for this particular show. Yes there is some dead space in the set for this PPV but at the same time with the theme of this particular PPV set being blood there's not really much that you can do that theme and as such i do feel that whoever did come up with the set for this design did the best that they could with what they were given to work with.

In all honesty I really cannot think of a way to improve the set for this particular PPV since like I just said the main theme for this particular PPV is so limiting. That he only way that you could possibly improve the set for this particular PPV would be to change pretty much everything about this particular PPV and that is just to much work for anyone to do but I will admit to liking the fact that the set for this particular PPV does appear in WWE 2K20 but that's just me tho.


For a very long time this PPV was the final PPV event under the Bad Blood name with the Bad Blood PPV having been started in 1997 and by some twist of fate some of the wrestlers appeared on that particular show also appear on this particular show. Kike I just said for a long time this was the final time that the WWE put on a Bad Blood PPV however that is soon going to change as there's going to be another Bad Blood PPV at somepoint in the near future.


I have to say ladies and gentlemen that it was really freaking awkward watching the Chris Benoit vs Kane match. Simply because you get to see Chris Benoit do alot of moves that affect / effect his own head which of course lead to him committing the crimes that we shall not speak of and as good as this match was I just couldn't get past the awkwardness f seeing Chris Benoit perform these really dangerous moves.

On a much more lighter note it was rather interesting seeing wrestlers who I haven't wrestled in / for the WWE for decades at this point. I honestly forgot that Tyson Tomko and that La Résistance were even a thing which is a shame because looking back or even with the added benefit of hindsight La Résistance were actually pretty decent wrestlers but Tyson Tomko was purely in the WWE for his size because my god he cannot wrestle even having him wrestle Chris Jericho who can get a good match out of anyone couldn't get a good performance or even a good match out of Tyson Tomko.


For some weird even tho Edge is on the poster for this particular PPV he isn't in the main even of this particular instead he's in the very first match of this particular PPV. Which honestly makes me wonder why they made the choice to put Edge on the poster for this PPV since it give you the impression that Edge is going to in the main even of the show when in reality he's in the very first match for this particular PPV event.

This particular PPV event has a total running time of two hours and forty eight minuets and forty three seconds and well I honestly that this PPV event is a little bit on the long side. Simply because alot of the matches that are on this particular PPV aren't that memorable nor are there any standout or memorable moments from this particular PPV and as such this particular PPV does comes across as being (in my opinion anyways / at least) a bit boring. 





Now then boys and girls since this show / PPV event is a wrestling show that means that I have to talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this particular event and well for a show that features so many good wrestlers is saddens me to say that the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this show is at best average. This is because either good wrestlers are paired with people who simply cannot wrestle or matches just aren't given alot of time and the chief example of this is the fatal four way way match for the WWE women's championship which features of good women's wrestlers but due to the fact that the match is only four and a half minuets long it really doesn't get a chance to really get going and that really does hurt that particular match in my opinion and it's the same thing for a lot of matches since alot of the matches that are on this card don't run for that long and it really does (in my opinion at least / anyways) hurt the quality of those matches.



Overall I can see why the WWF / WWE chose not to continue this PPV for almost twenty years since this particular PPV event is at best pretty freaking average and me saying that this particular PPV even is average is me being very freaking kind. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this particular WWE PPV event in this very review that means that this particular WWE PPV event gets a 5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and nowhere else and since I only went to one website for all of the images that I used in this very review. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page if you want to use any images that's from something that's to do with the wonderful world of pro wrestling.

Friends: The Reunion SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review

Ladies and gentlemen i'm a huge fan of the TV show Friends and so you can bet that when they announced that there was going to be a reunion special you just know that I was going to not only watch this reunion special but that I was also going to review this reunion special. As such i've made this review spoiler free and so join me as I review the reunion special that we have all been waiting for with the reunion special in question being called simply just "Friends: The Reunion" enjoy.

Now then everybody this reunion special has no plot since it's just the actors meeting up with each other and talking about the show. I have to admit that when I think of a Friends reunion special having the cast just talking about there time on the show isn't what I expected but at the same time given how hard it is just to get all six actors together just for one night this is the kind of reunion episode / special that we could have ever have hoped for in my opinion at least.

Appearing in this reunion special are Jennifer Aniston , Courteney Cox , Lisa Kudrow , Matt LeBlanc , Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. Some if the guest stars that are appearing in this reunion special are David Beckham , Justin Bieber , BTS , James Corden , Cindy Crawford , Cara Delevingne , Elliott Gould , Kit Harington , Lady Gaga , Larry Hankin , Mindy Kaling , Thomas Lennon , Christina Pickles , Tom Selleck and James Michael Tyler.

Now then honestly I know that alot of you will be put of by the fact that James Corden is hosting this special but trust me when I tell you this he actually does a good job hosting this reunion special. I honestly cannot fault anything with this reunion special when it comes to who is appearing in this special since alot of guest stars and recurring stars from Friends all make an appearance and it was honestly nice to see those faces again talking about this show that was not only fun to watch but Friends also looked like it was fun make and as well being very fun to film.

Now then believe it or not boys and girls but this is actually the second reunion special that has been produced for HBO Max with the other one being the The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Reunion. Which if memory serves me correctly that reunion special follows the exact same format as this one does and while there most certainly is a case of "well if it's not broke don't fix it" how at the same time it makes this special seem like it's not only copying but also being a carbon copy of the The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Reunion special.

Now if your in the UK then the format of this reunion show might seem a little bit familiar to you because yes this is a better version of the The Inbetweeners: Fwends Reunited reunion special. However unlike that special which was promoted as the next episode of The Inbetweeners and had nothing to do with nor did it even celebrate The Inbetweeners this reunion special does celebrate Friends and it also celebrates everything that Friends was and as well as celebrating what the TV show Friends meant to alot of people not just in America but also around the world as well.

This to me is what makes this reunion special stand out from The Inbetweeners: Fwends Reunited reunion special. Since that special didn't really celebrate The Inbetweeners and was made in my opinion at least just to cash in on The Inbetweeners IP however with this particular reunion special you could tell right from the word go that everyone that was involved with making this reunion special happen was a fan of Friends that everyone who was involved with making this reunion well and truly understood what Friends meant to not only themselves but to also alot of other people as well and that kind of love and respect really does shine through in the final product in my opinion at least anyways.

Now i'm not going to spoil anything that's in this special unless it was in the reunion specials trailer but there was one thing that I wanted them to do during this special and they did it. I'm not going to say what that thing is but it's near the start of the special and honestly it wouldn't have felt like a Friends reunion special if they didn't include this thing in it and while it's something that other people might not have been bothered about seeing in this reunion special to me tho seeing this thing in this reunion helped get back in the mood for seeing my old Friends once again.

Now then boys and girls this reunion special has a running time of one hour and forty three minuets and fifty seconds and honestly this special doesn't even feel that long at all in my opinion. Since the time really does fly by and as such I really do feel that this was the perfect running time for this special since everyone that appears in this special is just so freaking likeable and as such I honestly wish/ wished that this reunion special was a bit longer just because it meant that I would be spending more time with people who are generally likeable people.

What I really loved about this special is finding out just exactly how close the main six cast members of the show really were. Of course i'd heard rumours over the years of all six main cast members being close friends but it's something else entirely to actually see how close these six actors and actresses actually are and just seeing them bounce of off each other makes these actors and actresses seem all the more likeable and even tho it's a cliché to say that the cast of a TV show are like a family to each other I honestly do feel that that was well and truly the case for the main six cast members of this show but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Overall if you haven't seen this reunion special go and watch it right now log to whichever form of HBO is carrying this special and watch because you will love it and you'll love it even more if your a fan of Friends. Now then since i've talked about all of the good and as well as being all of the bad things that are in this reunion special in this very review that means that this reunion special gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me personally.

As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review from Google Images and nowhere else and since I went to only Google Images and nowhere else for the images that I personally used in this very review. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use Google Images if you want to use any images from this reunion special since pretty much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were fairly high quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

Wrestlemania 2000 Review

 


Wrestling fans there's one event that we all look forward to each and every year and well with this years Wrestlemania over I thought that i'd take a trip down memory lane. I do have to say that i've been trying to find a copy of this particular Wrestlemania for some time and as look would have it I happend to find a copy of this particular Wrestlemania today and so you just know that I had to review this event and so join me as I review the WWE / WWF PPV event that is known as Wrestlemania 2000 but is actually called simply just "Wrestlemania" enjoy.

Now I didn't become a wrestling a few months after this event and as such i don' really know what the main storylines going into this event were / was. However they do a good job of letting you know what the main stories are going into this event and so as such you don't really have to gave seen any of the shows leading up to this event and you can just watch this even and get a really good idea as to what the stories are going into this event.


The set for this show is the first thing that I thought that this event did wrong since the set for this event is just so bland. Which isn't something that you'd want to see when your looking at a Wrestlemania set / stage since when you think of a Wrestlemania set / stage you think of something that's big and in a way outlandish which is sadly not the case with particular set / stage since the set / stage for this particular event is very minimalistic and it's just uninteresting to look at in my opinion.

There's just so much dead space when it comes to the set / stage used in this show since there's alot of room both at the top and at the side. Which could have been used to make the set / stage all the more interesting and hell they even could have gone with a theme for this particular Wrestlemania which they sadly don't do and so I gave to wonder the idea for this set / stage design even was and I have to wonder why there's so much dead space since it makes the set / stage design all the more lazy.


It was while watching this event that I was reminded of how good of a wrestler the late Joanie Laurer AKA Chyna actually was. Since she does put on a good match in this event which shouldn't come as a surprise since she's working with Too Cool and the three members of The Radicalz that we actually want to remember fondly and all of those guys can get good performances out of anybody and it honestly saddens me that it took us along time to convince the WWE and all of those in charge at the WWE along time in order to get Chyna / Joanie Laurer into the WWE Hall Of Fame.


Out of all of the matches that are featured on the match card for this event the one which has the most confusing set of rules is the Hardcore Championship Battle Royal match. Simply because even tho it's a battle royal match the wrestlers are allowed to fight outside of the ring and for some unknown reason you can only pin the champion in order to win the Hardcore Championship which doesn't make sense in the context of the match since when big bad Viscera wins the Hardcore Championship everyone try and fails to pin him and yet it would have made more sense to try and pin someone smaller and weaker like for example Crash Holly but I guess that that just makes far to much sense.

I do believe that many wrestling fans consider this WrestleMania to be one of if not the worst Wrestlemania of all time and if so I can quite frankly see why. Since there's nothing that really stands out about this particular Wrestlemania since there are alot of botches to be found all over this event and what makes matters worse is that the WWE choose angles where you can quite clearly see that the wrestlers aren't hitting each other and it honestly makes the WWE and the WWE superstars look like jokes which for a WWE branded PPV should never ever be the case in my opinion.


I would very much like to talk about the women's match of this show but honestly the only women's match that they have is just so bad thats it's not even worth talking about but i'm going to talk about it anyways. Honestly what would have made this womens even watchable would have been if it was a tag team match and both of the women which in this case Kat and Terri were teamed up with people who could actually wrestle since then the match would be watchable and not the mess that we actually ended up with.

Thus event has a total running time of three hours and twenty one minuets and thirty five seconds and I have to be honest this event doesn't feel that long at all. If anything this event felt like it was three hours long and not three hours and twenty one minuets and thirty five seconds long but with that said some matches could have been a bit shorter like for example the Triangle Ladder match and the Hardcore Championship Battle Royal match since both matches did start to drag on for me personally but I would fully understand it if someone didn't want either of those matches cut down or for that matter even trimmed down.


Now then boys and girls this is a wrestling show after all and that means that I have to discuss / talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this actual wrestling event and if i'm being honest apart from the women's the actual wrestling that was on display during this event wasn't that bad. Since there was a lot of really good moves being performed with next to no missed spots but as i've mentioned there was alot of botches which were very noticeable tho and that did bring down the overall quality of the wrestling for me personally and in my personal and very humble and in my very honest opinion anyways.


Overall yikes was this wrestlemania bad it was honestly laughable at how bad this particular wrestlemania was in my opinion since alot of the things that I found / took issue with in this event could have very easily have been fixed or altered oh well at least the next wrestlemania is one that alot of wrestling fans myself included say us the best wrestlemania of all time. Since i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that in this particular event this even gets a score of a 3.5 out of 10 from me and as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well I got all of the images that Iu used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images with my personal preferred website to use to get images this even or any wrestling even for that matter is the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page jst simply due to the fact that they have alot of images from a lot of different wrestling events up on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page.
