Last Of The Summer Wine: Getting Sam Home Review

 

There are some shows out their that go on for so long that they get fans across many generations across many decades. With the show that i'm talking about today being one such show as this show lasted a whopping thirty one series with the show itself lasting around thirty to forty years well what not alot of people is that show spawned a feature length special and that's what i'm going to be talking about today and so then join me as I review the episode that sees three friends try to bring someone home with the episode in question being called simply just "Getting Sam Home" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when someone called Sam gets into trouble at his girlfriends house it's up three friends to get him home again before his wife finds out. 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 a rather simple which is common place for this show with the plot also being really enjoyable as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Bill Owen as Compo , Wallace & Gromit star Peter Sallis as Clegg and Porridge star Brian Wilde as Foggy. Also starring in this episode is Lynda Baron as Lily Bless Her , Olive Pendleton as Sybil , Peter Russell as Sam , Muriel Rogers as Mamsy , Jim Marsh as Dadsy , John Comer as Sid , Jane Freeman as Ivy , Joe Gladwin as Wally Batty , Kathy Staff as Nora Batty , David Williams as Mr. Fairburn , Johnny Leeze as 'Our kid' Colin , Max Beesley Snr as Colin's Mate , Christine Cox as Cousin Olive , Ken Kitson as PC Cooper , Bill Croasdale as Police Sergeant and Tony Melody as The Voice Of Sid.

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. Which for this show isn't all that new as this shows cast members is usually made up of a bunch of really talented and funny actors and actresses and it really does help that the script for this this episode is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the words as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

This episode started the trend of having ninety minuet or longer TV specials of British comedies as before this episode the longest any special episode of comedy would be is sixty minuets long. This is something that for alot of cases does work as it allows them all to tell much more epic stories then what they could usually do but at the same time tho it also means that alot of the episodes just end up with a ton of filler that add nothing to any of the episodes but as someone who is a die hard fan of Only Fools And Horses it was nice to see where this tradition started as it is something that Only Fools did for alot of their Christmas specials.

Believe it or not this episode or film or whatever it is that you want to call it is based of the novel of the exact same name. With both the book and every single episode of Last Of The Summer Wine being written by Roy Clarke while the book is very sadly hard to find a copy of nowadays thanks to a review on the books Amazon UK page the book does expand upon certain scenes from the episode with somethings being made alot more clearer in the book then they are in the TV version some of which adds to certain jokes whilst others make characters and their story in this episode seem alot more tragic then what they already are.

From what little information I can gather this episode was always meant to be a made for television production. With star Bill Owen taking a copy of the book to series director and producer Alan J. W. Bell and suggested that the novel would make for a great TV special and he's not wrong as the story is more fitting for an episode of the show then what it would be for a theatrically released film as it's a storyline that's more in line and in keeping with the shows more relaxing nature both of which make it a perfect special to be broadcast over the Christmas holidays with special not really having anything in it that will upset or even really offend anybody whatsoever.

To me it's oddly entertaining that alot of people in the village no of this affair including Sam's wife as well. This is something that would be a long running joke within the show itself as the show did have characters that were having affairs but everybody knew about it despite both of the people having the affair trying to keep it a secret heck the show would introduce three characters not long after this special where that was one of their only jokes and it's a joke that still works as the joke isn't them having an affair it's how the husband is going to get caught that makes the joke work with this episode showing what happens when the husband is on death's door and still having the affair that led him to his current and final predicament.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and forty seconds. Which is almost three times the length of an average episode of the show with the show having an average running time of around twenty seven minuets and to this episodes credit it does make the most of that running time but at the same time it doesn't really have alot their interms of plot to cover that large amount of running time with the episode basically repeating itself around the halfway mark all of which just makes me wish that this episode was a tad bit shorter but I will admit tho that this episode does have some pretty good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that means that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in his 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. With this episode and the shows humor in general being very gentle and very family friendly with alot of the episodes jokes still managing to get a smile out of me but at the same time tho there are some jokes that really haven't all that well but those are very few and far between in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this wasn't a bad episode of this truly iconic sitcom and it's one that I think alot of British will love and that alot of Americans will feel very in different towards in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 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 , Wikipedia 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 as since all of the images that are all currently up and of course featured / presented to us on the great Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Film Review

Both Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been in so many movies that it would be understandable if you forgot about some of them. Well there was a movie released just a few short years ago that proved that the two franchises can make a pretty decent crossover movie and that it's that very movie that i'm about to review fro you all today and so then join me as I review the movie that sees the Batman family team up with the turtles with the film in question being called simply just "Batman Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when the turtles find themselves in Gotham City they have to team up with Batman , Robin and Batgirl to stop The Shredder and Ra's al Ghul from destroying Gotham City for good. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this plot being nothing more then just pure dumb fun but in all of the right ways in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Troy Baker as Bruce Wayne / Batman and The Joker , Eric Bauza as Leonardo and Darren Criss as Raphael. Also starring in this film is Baron Vaughn as Donatello , Kyle Mooney as Michelangelo , Ben Giroux as Damian Wayne / Robin , Rachel Bloom as Barbara Gordon / Batgirl , Brian George as Alfred Pennyworth , Jim Meskimen as Commissioner James Gordon and Dr. Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow , Andrew Kishino as The Shredder , Cas Anvar as Ra's al Ghul , Keith Ferguson as Dr. Baxter Stockman and Harvey Dent / Two-Face , Tom Kenny as Oswald Cobblepot / Penguin and A League Of Assassins Ninja , Tara Strong as Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn , Pamela Isley / Poison Ivy , Pizza Delivery Girl and A Woman , John DiMaggio as Victor Fries / Mr. Freeze and Carlos Alazraqui as Bane.

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 I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films cast members turning in some really good performances which isn't a surprise for the more experienced cast members but given that they cast relative unknowns for the all of the turtles characters the fact that they did turn in a good performance and hold their own with their more experienced cast members is a shocking thing indeed.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at the great DR Movie. 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 alot better then  what it really had any right to be as this very easily could have been a cheap and easy to make cash grab and nothing more then that but the fact that the animation in this film is so good just says that the team making this movie wanted to make a genuinely good film.

There is something that really bugged me about this film and that's the fact that they never once explained how the turtles and Shredder got to this dimension. This is something that they really should have done as the whole idea behind this film is these two heroes meeting for the first time and so explaining how the turtles , The Shredder and Baxter Stockman came to New York is something that would have helped the film out quite alot even more so when you take into account The Shredder's plan for this film has him trying to wipe out Gotham City with tech that isn't from Batman's dimension in the first place.

The turtles in this film were really entertaining with them really getting alot of the films more bigger laughs. While alot of what they said and did that got laughs out me personally were references to other turtles media it felt very in keeping with their characters and the fact that we got to see alot of really fun and in most often cases funny interactions as well with characters that we don't normally get to see talking to one another made them all the more funnier and while I would have liked it if the turtles were a bit more serious in this film given the situation the fact that they were over the top and campy in some places felt very fitting given just how popular the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series was and still is.

I really loved that we got to see what alot of Batman's villains would look like if they got mutated with alot of them having mutations that fitted their characters. While there are some that have mutations that don't make sense for their character like Bane for example is mutated into a I think a cheetah which would make sense for Cheetah but it's not a mutation that makes sense for Bane with a better mutation for him being something like a lion or a bear for example but that is a very minor nitpick with alot of the mutations being very fun wit all giving us a really unique look on alot of the more classic Batman villains.

Now then this film has / had a exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and eight seconds. Which I will admit is a bit of a long running time for his film to have as the storyline doesn't really demand a longer running time in order to do it justice and as such we do get alot of scenes that go nowhere and add nothing to the overall plot of the film as well as two finale's which really isn't needed but given just how fun this film is this film having a longer running time is something that I can very easily look past as this is a fun film and I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With thus films action being one of the moments of when this film is at it's most fun to watch and it will always be cool seeing Batman taking on The Shredder or seeing Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team up to do a really cool looking move in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if your looking for a really fun crossover movie then you really can't go wrong with this film as this film is one that's sure to please fans of both respective franchises in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 boy 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 Batman fandom wiki page , the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions of The One Piece Live Action TV Series

 

Nine times out of ten when an anime is given a live action TV series adaptation it usually ends up being pretty bad. However every once in a while there is a property that gives us all hope that this will be the one that bucks the trend and is an actually good adaptation well one such adaptation has just been released and I thought that i'd check it out and so then join me as I give my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the shows that promises to be an actually good live action anime adaptation with the show in question being called simply just "One Piece" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is young pirate gathers a crew to look for an ancient map that will lead to a mythical treasure all the while trying to escape a pirate with a grudge to bear. 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 in 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 that bad with both of the episodes plots being really enjoyable altho I will admit that episode one did have the stronger plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy , Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro and Emily Rudd as Nami. Also starring in these first two episodes is Vincent Regan as Vice Admiral Garp , Morgan Davies as Koby , Peter Gadiot as "Red-Haired" Shanks , Ilia Isorelýs Paulino as Alvida , Aidan Scott as Helmeppo , Langley Kirkwood as "Axe-Hand" Morgan and Jeff Ward as Buggy The Clown.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting 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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. While was kind of what I was expecting from this show as the acting in any anime live action adaptation is usually not that good and while the acting in these first two episodes is miles better then the acting that we got in say Dragonball Evolution for example it's also not as good as it should or even could have been

For once I have no idea who is providing the CGI for this show as there's no effects company listed anywhere online. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be with this shows CGI honestly being movie quality in alot of places as it was that good but with that said when you do get a bad looking CGI effect you really do notice it.

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

The producers of this show are the exact same producers who produced that good awful Cowboy Bebop adaptation. However they openly admitted that for this adaptation that there giving the fans of the manga and anime the characters as they expect them to be and not changing them in the slightest and guess what it actually works and judging by the reviews alot of the people actually like that they did this as it shows that they respected the source material which is something that they quite clearly didn't do when they were adapting Cowboy Bebop and it also helps that One Piece's creator Eiichiro Oda was heavily involved with the production where as the creator of Cowboy Bebop was kept as far away from that production as they possibly could do and that is something that really did show in everything that came from that show from the marketing to the interviews to final show itself.

I can't be the only one that's noticed this but for me the character of Buggy The Clown is pretty much One Piece's version of The Joker. This is something that came across quite strongly in both of his episodes of this show with his first episode portraying him as a sinister villain who is o be feared with his second and so far final episode showing just how insane he is with him burning down an entire town just because he could do which is something that you could see The Joker himself doing and on top of that just like The Joker he has a connection to our main heroes past in someway shape or form which does link them to our man hero possibly forever.

What I really loved about the first two episodes is the fact that they showed that this group isn't willing to work together for the most part. Even going as far to showing Nami portraying the group at the end of episode two which shows that the group is going to have some trust issues going into the shows midway point and beyond which is something that I really liked as it means that the characters have to grow with each other and aren't instantly best friends like alot of bad live action anime adaptations would do with their respective characters and that's the kind of love and attention that you'd only get if you had the original creator helping you out and you actually taking his notes onboard and making your script and show much more better in the process as it actually respect the source material that you show is based of off.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and four minuets and twenty four seconds whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty five minuets and twenty seven seconds. With episode one having the better running time just because those extra ten minuets really did allow for the episodes story to breathe alot more which is something that just isn't the case for episode two where you don;t have the time to fully take in what your seeing because the episode if busy rushing of to do the next plot relevant thing but I will admit that out of the two episodes episode two had the better pacing tho.

So now then as 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 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 first two episodes was in all honesty really good. With the action in these first two episodes feeling like that they were ripped right out of the anime and this is coming from someone who has never seen and episode of the anime nor read a chapter of the manga with this episodes action just being fun with it giving us a really good chance to see what each of the characters in this show bring to the crew in any given situation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILER END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this show is perhaps the first good live action American TV anime adaptation with these first two episodes just being fun to watch with the characters that your meant to like being likable 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 very episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if I ever feel the need to check out the rest of this shows first season which considering each episode is an hour long and there eight episodes doesn't seem all the likely to happen anytime soon.

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 got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Cowboy Bebop fandom wiki page , the official One Piece 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 One Piece fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and on the official One Piece fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Red Dwarf "Trojan" Review

 

There are some shows that have a huge cut following no matter what genre they are apart of by they a comedy or a science fiction show there's just something about them that people love. With the same thing also being true for the show that i'm going to be talking about today which is also a show that I haven't really talked about in a while and i'm not going to lie that's not going to change anytime soon and so then join me as I review the episode that saw the boys from the dwarf return to a weekly TV series with the episode in question being called simply just "Trojan" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is when Red Dwarf picks up a distress call from Rimmer's seemingly more successful brother Rimmer , Kryten , Lister and Cat have to save him and his simulant companion. Now then inter,s of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being rather enjoyable and easy to follow along with in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Robot Wars and Takeshi's Castle host Craig Charles as Dave Lister and The Brittas Empire star Chris Barrie as Arnold Rimmer. Also starring in this episode is Danny John-Jules as Cat , Robert Llewellyn as Kryten , Mark Dexter as Howard Rimmer , Susan Earl as Sim Crawford , Lucy Newman-Williams as All Droid Jayne and the Phone Droid Voice , Bryan Bounds as All Droid Bob and the Phone Droid Voice , Laurence Bouvard as the Phone Droid Voice and Rupert Degas as the Phone Droid Voice.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which isn't all that shocking as the four main leads have been playing their respective characters for decades at this point and so they would know what performance would best suit there characters at any given time what was shocking however was the fact that the guest cast for this episode also turned in some really solid performances as well with the guest cast more then holding their own when acting opposite the returning cast members which couldn't have been an easy thing to do and yet they do it wonderfully in this episode.

I will admit that I loved seeing Rimmer interact with his brother as it gave us a chance to see just how smug this character can be. Which was something that I really liked as that's very true to Rimmer's character at least this version of Rimmer and to see him and the crew just pulling of this entire charade just impress someone who is ultimately the exact same level as Rimmer just makes there whole interactions even more hysterical as it then becomes a case of one trying to outdo the other without letting on to the other person that that's what it is that there trying to do which is just genius screenwriting.  

With this episode we also saw the return of the show being filmed infront of a live studio audience which is something that really does make all the difference. As this is the kind of show that is made to be performed infront of a live studio audience and while it does limit what kind of camera moves that you can do it also lets you know what jokes are working and which ones aren't which luckily for this show series alot of it's jokes do work and you can tell that the cast love performing infront of an audience as well and I really do hope that for any future series or special that they keep the live audience just to make it feel alot more like Red Dwarf and alot less like any other science fiction comedy show out there.

This episode saw the team take a more back to basics approach with making the show whilst also including something that they didn't include in any of the previous series. With this new series only retaining the four main lead characters and no other recurring character from the previous series and also introducing subplots to the series with this episodes subplot really being really enjoyable but I would have liked if the Lister subplot tied into the main plot in someway just to make things a little bit more coherent but as it is the shows first subplot wasn't that bad and as was really entertaining as it led to one of the biggest laughs of the episode for me. 

I will admit that I didn't like this episodes surprise villain as it's something that wasn't really built up all that well at all. While we are given a reason as to why this episodes villain is the way that they are this episodes villain is taken out far to easily and really isn't all that creepy of a villain which is a shame because the idea behind this villain and what there end goal is is a really good idea it's just that the character doesn't have alot of dialog before there big reveal and so we don't really get the chance to know if something is up with this character and s when the big reveal does happen it comes out of nowhere.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty nine minuets. Which from what I remember is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show and to this episodes credit it does have more then enough there interms of either plot or story to cover that large amount of running time I do wish that the episode was a tad bit longer as I was having such a good time with this episode but on the flip side of that if this episode was longer then it would be stretching a thin story even thinner but I will admit tho that this episode really does have some good pacing to it.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talked about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of painfully funny laugh out loud moments with this episode having far to many funny moments to even count and it really does help that alot of this episodes jokes are really well written and comes across as being very character driven as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode was a great return to the boys from the dwarf as it is an episode that is just filled to the brim with painfully moments which will make alot of people laugh out loud and laugh hard as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Red Dwarf 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 freaking Google Images are all really fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being really very fairly freaking high in definition.

The New Scooby-Doo Movies: Wednesday Is Missing Review

 

Scooby-Doo as a franchise has been going on since the nineteen sixties with the franchise rarely crossing over with properties. Well just in the franchises second incarnation there was a series that did just that every single and as it's been a good few years since I last looked at an episode from Scooby-Doo I thought that it was about to time to tackle another episode and so then join me as I review the episode that see's Scooby and the gang meet up with some creepy , spooky and all together ookey bunch of characters with the episode in question being called simply just "Wednesday Is Missing" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is Scooby and the gang are hired by The Addams Family to be house keepers while Gomez and Morticia go on a second honeymoon and have to find Wednesday who mysteriously goes missing. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being very entertaining and very engaging in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Don Messick as Scooby-Doo , Casey Casem as Shaggy Rogers and Frank Welker as Fred Jones. Also starring in this episode is Nicole Jaffe as Velma Dinkley , Heather North as Daphne Blake , John Astin as Gomez Addams , Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams , Jodie Foster as Pugsley Addams , Cindy Henderson as Wednesday Addams , voice acting legend Janet Waldo as Granny Frump / Grandmama , Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester , Ted Cassidy as Lurch and Felix Silla as Cousin Itt.

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. Which isn't all that surprising as all of this episodes cast members have been playing their respective characters for some years with the same thing not necessary being true for the kids actors who while not bad can't hold a candle to their adult cast mates and instead just come across as being rather flat and boring. 

Doing the animation for this episode is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at Hanna-Barbera Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad altho there were some really very noticeable animation errors like Gomez's eyebrows disappearing and reappearing again among many others which really does bring down the overall quality of the animation in this very episode.

While this episode does feature The Addams Family it also serves more of a continuation of the live action The Addams Family series then it does being it's own unique take on the family. This is most evident in the fact that several of that shows stars reprise there roles for this episode with the most noticeable absences being Lisa Loring and Ken Weatherwax who were replaced for being two old to play Wednesday and Pugsley respectively which is a casting choice that I don't agree with as they were key actors from the original show and as they would have been voicing the characters it really doesn't matter if their older or not as they still might have sounded younger then what they actually were in real life.

In a rather odd move this is the only episode that hasn't been included on any official DVD release of this show thank to the Charles Addams estate blocking all uses of the episode on home media. The episode did see a very few and rare releases on VHS back in the nineties but that's really it and because of that this show can never have a full series release and while I don't know why his estate are blocking the use of this episode on home media I find it odd that they wouldn't want to see Charles Addams most famous creations on an official release of what surely most be the worlds longest on going franchise as that is a great way to get kids today interested in the The Addams Family in a more family friendly way that also really respects the family as a whole.

The mystery aspect of this episode was perhaps this episodes weakest aspect as it's painfully obvious who the main villains of this episode are as there only other characters that we meet outside of the main characters. Which makes me wonder why they just didn't include more main characters just to make it more of an actual mystery not really helping things is the fact that this episode doesn't really give us any clues as to who this episodes main villain even is which means that we the audience can't even work out for ourselfs who the main villain ll of which make me wonder why they bothered to include a mystery as just the mystery of where Wednesday is is more then enough to sustain this episode and they don't really need another more weaker mystery on top of all of that.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and nineteen seconds. Which if my memory serves me correctly is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show however with that being said this episode really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover that large amount of running time with this episode really only having enough plot to cover a standard twenty two minuet episode of Scooby-Doo Where Are You which means that we get alot of scenes that don't add anything to the plot of this episode with alot of those scenes just being Scooby and the gang exploring The Addams Family mansion and that's it but I will admit that this episode does have some decent pacing to it tho. 

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 not that bad. With this episode having alot of genuinely really funny moments in it with alot of this episodes best jokes coming from Velma who was given alot of the episodes funnier lines and it was just pure fun seeing the Scooby gang interacting with The Addams Family which allowed us to get some really good jokes just out of that idea alone in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really solid crossover episode and it's one that should be made available on home media just so younger kids could see The Addams Family teaming up with Scooby-Doo as it's that good of a crossover in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 Addams Family fandom wiki page , the official Scooby-Doo 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 freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My First SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!! Impressions Of The Ahsoka TV Series

 

At long last the day that I and many others have been waiting is now finally here as we have not only a brand new Star Wars TV show to hopefully look forward to every week but one that features a now fan favorite character in the main role. I will admit that this is a show that i've been super excited to see ever since it was first announced and well now that the first two episodes are here with us you all just knew that I was going to be checking them out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my first SPOILER FREE impressions that introduces more fan favorite characters into the word of the Star Wars live action world with the TV series in question being called simply just "Ahsoka" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is when she hears news of an old enemy returning former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano goes about trying to prevent his return. 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 in 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 that bad as they both did a good job of setting up the plot of the show but at the same time the plot just isn't all that interesting in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes are Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren. Also starring in these first two episodes are Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla , the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll , Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati , Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth , David Tennant as The Voice Of Huyang , Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger , Mark Rolston as Captain Hayle , Peter Jacobson as Myn Weaver , Shelby Young as The Voice Of C1-D1 and Clancy Brown as Governor Ryder Azadi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting 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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which really isn't all that surprising as alot of the cast members for these two episodes are a bunch of really good actors and actress which in this case are helped by the wonderful script for these first two episodes.

Doing the CGI for these first two episodes is Legacy Effects and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Luma Pictures. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good which is nothing new for these Star Wars shows as all of them have really good CGI in them with the CGI in these first two episodes being movie quality good.

For those of you that don't know this show is a spiritual sequel to the show Star Wars Rebels with this show not only picking up on the finale of Star Wars Rebels but also featuring alot of it's main characters. With that said however I don't think that you need to have seen Star Wars Rebels in order to understand this show as these first two episodes do a good job of setting up the main characters from Rebels and filling you in in what the ending cliffhanger from Rebels is but I will say to be save you should at least watch a couple of episodes of Rebels altho like I said you don't really need to watch an episode from that show in order to fully understand this show.

I will say that this is something that happens to Sabine at the end of episode one of this show that I didn't like as usually it would mean that she wouldn't be un the show anymore. Yet for some reason she is still able to appear in the show even tho when this thing has happend to other characters it usually meant that they were gone for good while it is a good cliffhanger and a great hook to get you to watch episode two it's something that doesn't work when you take into account that something like this has happend to other characters and so it makes you wonder why Sabine was able to survive and live to see another day.

I have to admit that I loved seeing alot of the Ghost crew from Rebels appear in live action as it's something that makes sense for the storyline of this show. Plus it really does help that alot of them look really good in live actin which is something that you don't get to see all that often as more often that not what works and looks good in animation might not always work and look good in the world of live action and while some of the characters like Sabine could have been written better that doesn't take away from the fact she is a character that not only looks good in live action but whose baseline character could also work well in live action as well.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty four minuets and forty three seconds whilst episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time if exactly forty two minuets and fifteen seconds. While episode two had the better running time I think that each episode of this show should be at least one hour long just to allow the plot of the show a chance to breathe and to give the characters more of a chance to get in some decent character development which is something that a show like this one just cannot do and still a good story at the exact time but I will admit that both episode have some really good pacing to them.

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 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 really good. With both of these first two episodes containing some really good action scenes in them with perhaps episode one having the better action out of the two episodes but even then it's very closely followed up by episode two as both of the episodes have some really good action in both of them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall just based of these first two episodes i'd say that this might be a good show but that is of course far to early to say but the show is of to really good start and is hopefully going to be a fun filled ride 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 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 episode airs or even is released online and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

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 got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars 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 on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest Special Review

 

Disney is currently in the middle of both celebrating it's one hundredth anniversary and trying to save it's Snow White remake from flopping harder then The Flash. However the company still found time to make and put an animated special that is oddly fitting for a major anniversary year and is alot better then what it really had right to be and so then join me as I review the special brings together five Disney Princesses and one Disney villain with the special in question being called simply just "LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest" enjoy.

The plot of this special is when Gaston tries to take over all of the known kingdoms it's up to Snow White , Ariel , Moana , Rapunzel and Tiana to complete three challenges in order to save Ariel's father from dying to stop Gaston once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this special plot wasn't all that good either with the specials plot being weak at it's absolutely best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is Disney legend Jodi Benson as Ariel , Anika Noni Rose as Tiana and Mandy Moore as Rapunzel. Also starring in this special is Auli'i Cravalho as Moana , Katherine Von Till as Snow White , Richard White as Gaston , the great Jim Cummings as King Triton , the great Corey Burton as Magic Mirror , Jo Anne Worley as Wardrobe , Roland Rubio as Flower , the great Jeff Bennett as Mr. Smee and Barrett Leddy as Iago.

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 not that bad. Altho I will admit Anika Noni Rose's voice does sound like a bit to raspy for Tiana and while this specials cast do turn in rather solid performances they can't turn in great performances as this specials script just doesn't give the cast a whole lot to work with interms of what their respective personalities even are or are even meant to be.

Doing the animation for this special is Zebu Animation Studios and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pure Imagination Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. I do however take issue with the character designs as for some strange reason all of the characters are given these really long arms which just look really of putting and the characters don't even look like Lego pieces.

This special is trying so hard to be like the 2012 film The Avengers however it forgets to treat the characters as actual characters. With all of this specials characters just coming across as being very one note with all of them having one personality trait and that's it with Ariel being the groups leader for some reason who can do no wrong , Moana likes ocean and that's is , Tiana and Rapunzel have pretty much no personality trait and Snow White is a mixture between the weird one or the dumb one of the group with none of these as far as I can remember matching up with their personalities in their respective films as in their movies their nearly all given faults that make them feel alot more well rounded and yet here there all given no faults.

For some reason both Jasmine and Belle aren't featured in this special this is despite Belle having met Gaston before and Jasmine being a more stronger and well known character then either Tiana or Rapunzel. Heck both of which would have made great editions to this special as Belle would have known how to defeat Gaston before and Jasmine would know what to do in a tough situation which really does make me wonder why they weren't included in this special as they are still very well known characters and are legacy characters who are perhaps more well known to older Disney fans then either Tiana or Rapunzel for example.

I will admit that this special when it wants to be can be really fun with the most fun parts of the special just coming from these iconic interacting with each other. Ad there's just something about seeing Ariel talking to Moana or Snow White talking to Tiana that just make the special worth watching and while we don't get any memorable lines from these interactions just the fact that there meeting each other in the first place does make this special a must watch for me especially if you have little kids as they are the ones that will get the most enjoyment from this special and that who this special is mostly aimed at in the first place.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty seven minuets and nineteen seconds. Which is a tad but on the long side for this special but on the flip side this special also feels like it's far to short as well as even tho the story for this special is on the weaker side of things the characters more then make u for it and with a longer running time all of the specials characters Gaston included could have been fully fleshed out and become more three dimensional then what they are in this special but I will very much admit tho that this special really does have some pretty good pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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 special 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 special was in all honesty not that bad. With Snow White getting alot of the specials best jokes which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case as they only recently started making Snow White more of a comedic character and so there was really no telling if they would give some jokes in this special and yet not only do they give her alot of jokes there also jokes that seem fitting with her character from the original 1937 film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this special wasn't as good as I thought that it would be it's definitely alot better then what it had any right to be and it's always nice to hear the original voice of Ariel no matter where in animation Ariel appears in 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 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 that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
