The Incredible Hulk 1996 TV Series "Doomed" Review

 


Marvel fans believe it or not but it's been a whopping two years since I last spoke about an episode of this show. Well i've chosen an episode that would been more relevant to do back in August of this year but I just couldn't be bothered to do it then and well with the character of She-Hulk more popular now then it's ever really been I thought that now was the absolute right time to review the episode that introduced the character to alot of nineties kids and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces us to a legendary comic book character with the episode in question being called simply just "Doomed" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Hulk is in Washington DC he finds himself the target of Doctor Doom and it's up to his cousin Jennifer Walters to help him out before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes not only doing a good job of making Doctor Doom seem like a genuine threat but at also introducing us to Jennifer Walters and being a genuinely entertaining plotline as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Neal McDonough as Bruce Banner , Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk and Lisa Zane as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk. Also starring in this episode is John Vernon as General Ross , Simon Templeman as Doctor Doom , Castlevania star Matt Frewer as The Leader and voice acting legend , Star Wars legend and Batman: The Animated Series legend the one and only Mark Hamill as Yuri Topolov / Gargoyle.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really shouldn't be all that surprising given who is starring in this episode and it really does help that all of this films cast members are a bunch of some really talented actors and actress as well.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Saerom Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with all of the characters having some nice movements to them and there was no animation errors that I could see and while there are other shows from around this time period that had much better animation this episodes animation was also a pleasure to look at as well.


As I said at the start of this review this episodes features the debut of Jennifer Walters and while her origin in this episode is changed. This episode does remove alot of the struggle and heartache that Bruce goes through since in the comic book Bruce knows that he gave Jennifer even a small dose of his blood then she would ultimately get her very own Hulk powers and in this episode there's no internal struggle he just does it which was something that I really didn't like since Bruce as a character should always be weary of giving someone else there very own Hulk powers but at least this version of the origin was alot better then the one that we got in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.

This version of Jennifer Walters does seem like a very well written character I say that because i've not seen any of her episodes from this show in quite literally decades. However just based of this one episode she does show alot of promise as a character since she is a character who does come across as being a bit of a hot head and who has self esteem issues and those are things that she does have to overcome and that really does make her seem like a very well written character and as such I can see why she became a very popular characters thanks to her appearing in this show so much so that the show changed it's name for it's second season to The Incredible Hulk And She-Hulk. 


I really did like how this episode portrayed Doctor Doom since in this episode he's portrayed as someone who is the smartest person in any room he's in. With the character even being very well spoken all of which oddly make the character all the more terrifying since this man really does know how to get people to do what he wants even to the point where he manages to convince The Hulk to go on a rampage just because of the fact that The Hulk doesn't want him to hurt or even kill his cousin because that's just how scary Doctor Doom is in this episode as well as being a very good example of just how creepy and scary that this kind of character could be when there done really well like in this episode for example.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and forty nine seconds. Which was a tad bit on the short side for my liking simply because of the fact that you could have gotten a lot longer running time out of this story which would have allowed you to delve into the characters a bit more which would have helped thew episode a bit more and it would have made the threat of this episode seem alot more epic and bigger in scale but as it is the episode just seems a bit rushed.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having some truly good action set pieces all of which where really exciting and all of which are really well animated in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun episode and out of the three episodes of this show that i've seen this one is quite easily the best one since this episode gives you everything that you'd expect to see in a Hulk story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episodereally does erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Hulk fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Hulk fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Hulk fandom wiki page actually has a wide variety of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Hulk fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Hulk fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

Doctor Who: The Edge Of Destruction Review

 


Doctor Who fans when the series was first starting out it was only commissioned to last nothing more then thirteen episodes. Well with the first two serials lasting four and seven episodes and with no word of the series being picked up for more episodes the Doctor Who team still had to produce two episodes to wrap things up and so then join me as I review the episode that is infact the shortest classic Doctor Who serial ever made with the serial in question being called simply just "The Edge Of Destruction" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the TARDIS crew find themselves knocked out they have to find out what is wrong with the TARDIS before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good which was truly shocking given just how many characters this episode has and yet it's plot is still very well told and is at times quite scary as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , William Russell as Ian Chesterton , Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright and Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman. That's right this episode only stars the four main leads of the show which is I believe something that hasn't happened since this episode and for the live of me I can't see why since it's a fast a cheap way to produce an episode of the show and to this episodes credit it really does make the absolutely most out of all of four of this shows main cast of characters.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all four actors really working well of off each other and turning in some of the best performances from this shows very early years.



Unlike the rets of the show this show is set entirely within the confides of the TARDIS which was something that I actually liked. Sine we got to see more of this ship since at his point in time we had only seen one room and yet here we got to see alot more then that which makes the ship feel alot bigger then what we've previously seen which for a ship that's meant to be bigger on the inside is always going to be a very good thing indeed.


This episode gets dark pretty quick with Susan straight up trying to stab Ian and Ian trying to strangle The Doctor. Heck the only character that doesn't try to kill one of the other characters is Barbera who here acts like the voice of reason which is great since it did add some dimension to her character and it did give her alot to do in what could have been a very boring episode and the fact that it gets dark in places just goes to show you just how complex these characters can be and how great these characters can be when there written really well.

Since this episode is very early on in the shows run that also makes this episode the shows first ever cheap episode. Since like I said this show only has one major set and only features the four main leads and to this episode credit you can't really tell that this is a cheaply made episode at all since the episode itself is so good that you just don't notice just how cheap this episode is and that is something that just goes to show you just how good this show can be hen the show is working within it's very own limitations.


Even tho this episode is a really solid it's an episode that does get pretty repetitive at times and that is something that does effect this episode. Since there's only so many times that you can see the characters show distrust against each other before it starts to get boring and repetitive however this episode does have a pretty good speech from William Hartnell which just goes to show that the very idea of giving The Doctor some epic speech has been in the show since it's very beginning and it helps that the speech is also really well written by story editor and this episodes writer David Whitaker and delivered by William Hartnell.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly roughly forty five minuets. With this episode only being two episodes long which really does suit this episode since this episode really doesn't have enough story to last anything longer then two episodes and as such this episode really does last the perfect amount of time with no scene lasting any longer then what it really needs to and as such every single scene is all about pushing the plot forward with there being no filler scenes at all whatsoever. 


So now then since this is a drama that means that I have to talk about the actual drama 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 drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty good. With the best bit of drama being between Barbera and The Doctor with Barbera blowing up about The Doctor about the way that he's been treating her and Ian in a fantastic scene that is really the best scene in the entire episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall for an episode that was meant to be the final episode of the show should the show have not been picked up for more episodes this episode doesn't really feel like a finale but it is still a really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time Review

 


Doctor Who fans it seems that I have for liking for reviewing regeneration episodes which trust me will stop come the new year. However I chose to review this episode in particular as it not only marks the departure of the actor playing the Doctor but also it's then current show runner and a long time composer and so then join me as I review the episode that really does feel like the end of an era for this show with the episode in question being called simply just "Twice Upon A Time" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Twelve Doctor finds himself sucked into a game of cat and mouse and it's one that involves a World War 1 soldier and two rather unlikely people. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as this episodes plot isn't that good either with the episode itself being rather aimless and pointless in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Peter Capaldi as The Doctor , David Bradley as The Doctor and Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts. Also starring in this episode is Mark Gatiss as The Captain , Jenna Coleman as Clara , Matt Lucas as Nardole , Nikki Amuka-Bird as Helen Clay , Toby Whithouse as The German Soldier , Lily Travers as Polly , Jared Garfield as Ben Jackson and Nicholas Briggs as The Voice Of The Daleks.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the actors doing there absolutely best to make this episodes script work well enough for them but the issue is that this episodes script gives the cast nothing to work with and so they can only do an OK job acting wise.



Doing the CGI for this episode is Milk , BBC Wales VFX and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Real SFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty bad with the robot avatars looking like they would be at home in a late Playstation 2 game cut scene because that's just how bad this episodes CGI well and truly was.



This is of course the final episode to feature Peter Capaldi in the role of The Doctor and to be fair this episode does do a good job of making his particular regeneration seem epic. Which in a way it is since this version of The Doctor is really struggling to come to terms with the fact that he's dying and when you add in the fact that character has seen alot of his friends either choose to leave him willingly or die it really does make sense that this version of the character would just say enough and openly choose not to regenerate since it would mean his actual death and he'd get to be with all of the people that he holds near and dear to him again.

I have to admit that like alot of die hard Doctor Who fans I really did hate how thus episode treated The First Doctor. Since instead of being written like the world weary hero that he was at the point the his regeneration took place here he's instead written as somebody who will say the wrong thing just to offended Bill which wasn't and isn't in that version of The characters nature at all and to disrespect him in this way just goes to show that writer Steven Moffat really wasn't a fan of that particular version of the character at all.


For some reason just like with The Time Of The Doctor this episode has a scene where The Doctor says goodbye to all of his main companions. Which just didn't work for me in this episode since it didn't really earned and if anything it felt like that it was ripping of a much better scene which shouldn't be the case since a scene like this one should only be included if it works with the story which in this case it just didn't and while you very well could also make that case for the same scene in The Time Of The Doctor that scene felt earned because that entire episode was wrapping up several plot lines from every single Matt Smith series and having him in a way finally say goodbye to Amy was one of them and that just isn't the case with this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty none minuets and forty six seconds. Which was a bit of a long running time for this episode to last since there's not really much there interms of plot that really requires that long of a running heck you could have had this episode come in at the bogstanderd forty five minuets running time and you'd have to lose absolutely nothing that's actually vital to the plot of the episode.


So now then since this is an action filled episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which is very in keeping with this episode since we only get one action which while it is impressive you can tell that stunt doubles for both David Bradley and Peter Capaldi were used and that really did take me out of the action which was a shame because what I was seeing was OK at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a decent enough regeneration episode that did an OK job of doing what it set out to do the problem this episode is so average that I have no idea what it was that it was even trying to do in the first place and that's not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out 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 IMP Awards . Com , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

The Muppet Show "Rita Moreno" Review



The Muppet Show is perhaps one of the most well known puppet shows out their with The Muppets themselves able to secure some very well known names. Since I've made it a habit to continue to talk about the show it was only about right that I talk about another episode of this truly iconic TV show and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to a famous sketch from The Muppets that is with the episode in question being called simply just "Rita Moreno" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the first thing that's right about this episode since it has no plot to begin with. As such The Muppets are now allowed to be as chaotic as they want to be and same thing can also be said for this episodes guest star both of which just wouldn't be able to happen if this episode had a plot since the characters would have to be really alot more focused on getting from point A to point B in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is the great Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Waldorf , Rowlf, The Swedish Chef , The Newsman , The Jim Henson Muppet, and some of the Muppaphones and Frank Oz as Fozzie Bear , Anima l, Marvin Suggs , Sam The Eagle , The Frank Oz Muppet , George The Janitor , Mildred , Animal's Dancing Partner and Miss Piggy. Also starring in this episode is Jerry Nelson as The Jerry Nelson Muppet , Pig Bartender , The Announcer , Whatnot and some of the Muppaphones , Richard Hunt as Miss Piggy , Miss Piggy's Dancing Partner , Statler , Sweetums and Wayne , Dave Goelz as Rita's Dancing Partner , Zoot and The Guru , Eren Ozker as Janice and John Lovelady as Rita's Dancing Partner.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Also for some reason alot pf The Muppets have totally different voices which was really distracting.



As you can no dount work out by the title of this review this episodes special guest star was actress Rita Moreno. I have to admit that of all of the episodes that i've seen of this show she was perhaps the worst guest star simply because of the fact she wasn't that funny say what you want about all of the over guest starts but they were at least actually funny whereas Rita was trying to hard to actually be funny and that inturn made her rather unfunny.


Thr greatest thing about watching thus show is the fact that every now and again your going to see a character or in this case characters that you haven't seen before now. Since I had to no idea that Jim Henson , Frank Oz and Jerry Belson all had Muppet counterparts let alone that they actually voiced them as far as I can tell they only appeared in this one episode in a song that aired exclusivey in the UK but either way it's great to see that even all of these later you can still find characters that you never knew even existed in the first place.

Rather shockingly there aren't that many backstage segments in this episode with the only ones that we get involving a running gag featuring a phone and Fozzie Bear. This is why there really isn't a plot in this episode however at the same time half of the fun of this episode is seeing The Muppets causing chaos backstage and so in the end removing the backstage segments ultimately causes alot more harm then it does good since it makes the episode slightly less fun to watch.
 


I said at the very start of this review that this episode introduced us to a famous Muppets sketch and I was right since this is the first episode to include a Veterinarian's Hospital sketch. Which I actually liked since the idea of Rowlf being such a useless Doctor that he can only use terrible puns is such a funny idea to me altho like with alot of this episode what took me out of the sketch was the odd voices for both Janet and Miss Piggy which is a shame because it was a really funny sketch.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and nine seconds. Which was a tad bit on the long side for this episode simply because of the fact that this episode really doesn't have a plot to speak of and so there's only so long that you can watch a show with no plot until you get bored which is sadly what was close to happening with me and this episode.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With nearly all of this shows jokes not only landing but landing hard yes there are some bad jokes told in this episode but that's not limited to this episode since you very well could say that about any episode of a comedy TV show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't that bad of an episode since it did show us what The Muppets could be like when there just being chaotic and that really did make the episode alot of fun to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

He-Man And She-Ra: A Christmas Special Film Review

 


He-Man is a franchise that for the longest time was good as well dead however back in it's eighties heyday. They released the one thing that alot of media aimed at children seems to do and that's a christmas special which is well and truly something that needs to be seen to be believed and so then join me as I review the film that brings both He-Man and She-Ra together with the film in question being called simply just "He-Man And She-Ra: A Christmas" enjoy.

The plot of the film is after some earth kids are accidentally transported to Eternia it's up to both He-Man and She-Ra to get them home before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really chessey but in a good and rather fun way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is John Erwin as He-Man / Prince Adam and Webstor and Alan Oppenheimer as Skeletor, Man-At-Arms and Zipper. Also starring in this film is Linda Gary as Teela and Queen Marlena , Lana Beeson as Alicia , Melendy Britt as She-Ra / Princess Adora, Mermista and Catra , George DiCenzo as Hordak, Bow and Cutter , Erika Scheimer as Peekablue, Perfuma and Mother , R.D. Robb as Miguel and this films executive producer Lou Scheimer as Orko, King Randor, Swift Wind, Spikor, Two-Bad, Modulok, Kowl, Rattlor, Horde Prime, Father and Multi-Bot.

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. With this films cast all turning in some very decent performances which given that alot of tbem are reprising theirrolesfrom there respevtive shows isn't all that surprising at all.



Doing the animation for this special is I think the legends and the greats that are currently over at Filmation Associates. Ñow 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 but at the same it wasn't that good either since you can an awful lot of reused animation which just made this film feel alot cheaper that what it actually was.
 


What I personally found to be rather odd is that they chose to make Skeletor a hero character by the end of this film. By having him basically learn the spirit of Christmas which was just so strange since this film is basically just an extra long He-Man and She-Ra episode and so wouldn't it have made more sense to have a character like Orko be the one to act like a hero instead of the franchises main guy.

To be frank the whole idea of a He-Man and She-Ra Christmas special is just a bit strange since to my knowledge neither character has celebrated holidays native to their own planets. As such having them celebrate Christmas just seems weird and out of place as is the fact that they just randomly teleport some kids from earth since they very easily could have learned all about Christmas from Queen Marlena since she is as far as I can tell from earth anyways so that would have alot of sense instead of putting two innocent kids lives in danger for literally no reason whatsoever.


This film is corny in all of the right ways but also in all of the wrong ones as well like having Orko be the main character for this film for literally no reason whatsoever. I'm not kidding either like when Orko and the two earth kids get back to Eternia Orko adds nothingvto the overall plot and is there just to tell bad jokes and nothing more then that I get that this is Christmas special and as such you want it to appeal to kids but He-Man and She-Ra already appeal to the kids and even so if your going to make an annoying character like Orko the main character then have him be actually relevant to the overall plot of the film and don't just relegate his role in the plot for really quite literally no reason whatsoever.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and twenty four seconds. Which a He-Man and She-Ra extended episode is quite a bit on the long side even more so when you take into account all the twists and turns that the plot takes all of which feel like filler and so I see no reason why this film couldn't have been the standard twenty two minuets long.


So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Altho this films action did start to get little repetitive at times tho which means that this films action did also start to get pretty boring as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
.

Overall while this film is a decent enough watch it's also a film that is just so weird and bizarre and that is something that works both for and against this film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 our 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 He-Man fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Goole Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Beauty And The Beast: A 30th Celebration Film Review

 


Disney fans perhaps no era is perhaps more beloved then it's renaissance era when the house of mosue was producing hit film after hit film. Well one of the leading films of that era has just turned thirty years old and to celebrate that anniversary Disney have aired a special that combines the animated with live action footage and so then join me as I review the special that is quite easily better then the The Liitle Mermaid Live with the special in question being called simply just "Beauty And The Beast: A 30th Celebration" enjoy.

I don't really think that I need to tell you the plot of this special as it's the exact same plot as the film. 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 I say this because this special does cut out quite alot of scenes from the film and that really does effect the overall plot of the film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is , Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson a.k.a. H.E.R. as Belle and singer Josh Groban as The Beast. Also starring in this special is  , Rita Moreno as The Narrator , Joshua Henry as Gaston , Martin Short as Lumiere , David Alan Grier as Cogsworth , Rizwan Manji as LeFou , Jon Jon Briones as Maurice , County singing and songwriting legend Shania Twain as Mrs. Pott and .Leo Abelo Perry as Chip.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well 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 special was in all honesty pretty decent. However alot of this specials cast are quite clearly better singers then they are actors.



What made this special truly stand out to me is that it felt like a love letter to the film that this special is celebrating. This is something is quite noticeable in the specials version of "Belle" where we see a piece of animation paper animating Belle before this specials version of the character even steps into frame and heck we even get a song from the dreadful 2017 remake as well.


I'm going to be honest here this special is so much better then the The Little Mermaid Live was. Just beecause of the fact that this film actually didn't try and lie to you and the fact that this special really didn't have any king of nightmare fueling puppets portraying supposedly friendly characters all of which went a really long way in making this special all that more better then what the The Liitle Mermaid Live was.

Very sadly tho it's not all good about this special tho since this special did have some things init that I didn't like. Take for example the fact that this special has The Beast appear in his human form quite early on in the film which kind of takes the surprise and wonder of what this character truly looked like and threw it all away and the other thing that I didn't like was the fact that the The Beasts costume while rather cool and scary looking revealed far to much of the actor playing him and so your just reminded that this is a character which did take me out of the special quite a bit of the time.


The songs in this special I thought were really well done with the best one being "Gaston" which was done in such a fun way that I ended up applauding it when it was finished. Not all of the songs are done well tho since even tho the song "Beauty And The Beast" is sung really well Shania Twain just can't match the vocals of the late Angela Lansbury and such what should be this really moving song about two outcasts essentially finding Live in each other just comes across as being rather flat and I dare it but also rather boring as well.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and forty one seconds. Which is a bit of a short running time for this special to last since it dies cut out alot of stuff from the film and as such I think that this special should have been at the very least one hour and thirty five just so that they could do the entire film alot of justice.


So now then since this is a romance film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual romance 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 romance that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty badly done. This is again due to the fact that the special cuts out so much from the film and when you can't even get the romance right in one of the most romantic film that Disney has made then you've done something wrong in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall like I said this special was quite easily alot better then the The Liitle Mermaid Live and seeing what they can now with the costumes it does make me wonder what they've got planned for The Lion King thirtieth anniversary and I can see alot of people really liking this special because it's that damned good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

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

My First Impressions Of The Sonic Prime TV Series

 


Sonic The Hedgehog is a character that's seen quite a resurgence in popularity within the past few years or so. With the character spawning not one but two hit live action movies with a third one in development and TV series based on those live action movies also in the works well now Netflix has just debuted a new animated TV series and well you all just knew that I had to take a look at this show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions that trys to put a new spin on Sonic and his friends with the TV series in question being called simply just "Sonic Prime" enjoy.

The plot of this show is after fighting Dr. Eggman Sonic suddenly finds himself trapped inside of a different universe and now ha to try and find his home. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty pretty decent with this shows plot so far being really entertaining but at the same time also treading upon some very familiar ground in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Deven Mack as Sonic the Hedgehog and Orbot and Ashleigh Ball as Miles "Tails" Prower and Tails Nine. Also starring in this show is Adam Nurada as Knuckles The Echidna , Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy Rose and Rusty Rose , Kazumi Evans as Rouge The Bat and Rebel Rouge , Brian Drummond as Dr. Eggman , Mr. Dr. Eggman and Dr. Done It , Ian Hanlin as Shadow The Hedgehog , Big The Cat and Denizen 1998 and Vincent Tong as Renegade Knucks , Dr. Babble , Dr. Don't and Dr. Deep.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With all of this shows voice cast turning in some really good performances and doing a good job of making this outrageous and insane script work for them.


Try as I might I cannot for the absolutely life of me find out anywhere online who did the animation for this show. Now then interms if what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad with this shows animation being alot better then what it really did have any right to be.


For some reason this show borrows alot of it's set up from the first Sonic The Hedgehog TV series only with worse looking animation , characters and writing. Which is a shame because the idea of Sonic having to rescue a city is a good idea but from the first two episodes that i've seen its not being done all that well and such all it does is remind that I could be watching a much better Sonic The Hedgehog TV show and that's not a good thing at all.

This show does seem to be setting up a mystery with Sonic since there's a large portion of time where we don't know where Sonic was. Which isn't a bad idea but it's not enough to carry an entire show neither is the sole premise of the show itself since you could very easily solve both of them within three episodes and this show is going to have twenty four episodes which means that we're going to have alot of filler episodes heck even the second episode of this show is borderline a filler episode since it adds nothing to the episode of the show. 


Like I just said this show is going to be twenty four episodes long spread over three "seasons" which I can't really see that show doing all that well with all of those episodes. Since there's not really a sense of worldbuilding going on at least in these first two episodes which is a shame because the show does have a storyline that's open to exploring the lore of the Sonic franchise and yet so far this show just isn't exploring any of the Sonic lore.

Now then the first episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and twenty six seconds where as episode two has / had an exactly grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and nine seconds. I have to admit that episode one has the better running time since it makes this show feel all the more epic and I really do think that the rest of the show should have had the running time that episode one had since that would then allow for more epic stories to be told and for character development to happen in a more naturel way.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With this shows action being rather rightfully cartoonish however this shows action was also rather lackluster with this shows action not really showing us anything that's all that cool , interesting or even entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show isn't that bad but at the same time it's also not all that good either it's sure to please little kids but the die hard Sonic fans will most likely not find this show to be all that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

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